The Official 2000 Draft Thread(MAGIC UP)

[Sheryl Yoast]

Spence who do you have lists from after hernando?

[Garf2000]

I understand we don't want people to lose interest, but the 6th pick is a pick that will decide how I run my team for the rest of BBS... I want a shot to exhaust all my options.

Yup. You get 4 hours to exhaust all your options. Of those 4 hours, you have about 1 left.

[Garf2000]

We have time limits on drafts, not creation drafts. The difference between a 15th pick and 16th pick in a regular draft doesn't mean anything... but in a creation draft it shapes the way you build your team.

If I can't wait for someone to come on and check their PMs, I'll pick, but I just don't see the huge rush.

[Spencer]

This is why I hate running drafts. No matter how many rules are in place, and no matter how many people complain about guys taking too long, some guys just take too long. What do you propose Hernando? 6 hour limits. 8 hour limits? What would be fair for you?

[Garf2000]

Well then maybe we shouldnt have GMs in other fucking countries

lol...

I understand the time limit, but why should I be penalized that the guy I'm waiting for lives all the way on the other side of the earth?

You are obviously not feeling well, that really doesn't make any sense.

Hahaha

I was able to make a trade with Will last night solely because I was sick and couldn't fall back asleep at 5am.

Then don't trade with him. No one is forcing you to trade with him.

It's 730am in Australia. 3 hours ago, it was 430am.

[jahallstar]

Dude, Spencer said you have four hours. At that rate we will get 6 picks a day. That would be 5 days per round. In 20 days we will only finish 4 rounds. You want to make it longer than that?

[Garf2000]

I don't believe people will be waiting 8 hours to trade a 4th rounder.

Then don't trade with him. No one is forcing you to trade with him.

But I want to trade down a few spots, I'm assuming he wants to jump a few spots. It's the perfect match. And now I don't get the opportunity to talk to him unless he comes on within the next hour, solely because of where he lives.

What country are you in?

We managed to have a perfectly quick PM conversation earlier, and I'm in the UK.

[jahallstar]

I mean...Your talking about your trade with Will. There is no chance that anyone would have taken anyone besides Shaq. You could have taken Shaq and then traded down later. Moral of the story is four hours is plenty of time. People were bitching at me for taking four hours yesterday and I wasn't even home. ...Hell I didn't even know the draft had started yet.

[Spencer]

I'm gonna extend the first round to 6 hours.

The other rounds will be 4. Hopefully James will be on soon regardless.

I'm in the U.S. I was awake because I had been sleeping earlier because I'm sick. I couldn't fall back asleep so I came online.

[Sheryl Yoast]

When it comes near your turn, like 3 or 4 picks please send in a fucking list.

Drafting a player and trading him has a lot less value than trading the actual pick. I think everybody would agree with this.

Thanks Spence, I appreciate it. I don't want to come off sounding like a dick, I just don't think people should have to decide how they're going to run their franchise because they can't get in touch with somebody.
