will be simmed tomorrow night.
I don't care if the people in front of you screwed you. Send a list or get picked for. That's how it is, no arguments, no questions. It's an absolute joke that people figure this to not be serious and do not mind holding up the draft for a day or more, absolute joke.
Next year I'm setting assinine time limits, don't like it? Too bad, don't even bother complaining to me, blame your peers. Send a list. And if 15 human picks aren't made in round 2 next year, then I'm taking away the right to trade round 2 picks and only round 1 will be on the forum.
That is all.

Round 3-8 lists are due by the June 1 sim. I'm not stopping on that day.

Bit too angry about this, Duce. Take some responsibility for the fact that it was set up pretty leniently. Not a criticism, it's just the reality. This was the first year conducting the draft this way. Revise it next year, but be a little understanding because the change in format is going to have bumps in the road, especially when there aren't strict time limits.
You're acting like a dad. I don't think of Spence as a dad. More of a god. Try to be a god, not a dad, Duce.

I really don't even wanna hear any of this, to be honest.
It's not reality that this is the first way this was conducted, at all. This is year 2. People should get it by now.
I'm perfectly capable of knowing when to be angry and when to take responsibility for something, and I really don't care to hear any argument on this as I mentioned.
Not sending a list is selfish and that's how it is going to be seen from this point, forward.

This draft has taken 20 days.... 20 days.
The system was taken advantage of by a LOT of GMs. I'm not throwing anyone specifically under the bus, that's not how I am.
But it is an absolute bitch to run the draft along side the sim just because a bunch of people feel that moving this along is not important. Well fuck it, if GMs don't think it's a big deal then why should I?
If people want to make the draft matter, then they damn well better act like it does.

No, Duce. Last year was different.
Just be more proactive, PM guys when they are within the next five picks, tell them when you want a list by, all that good stuff. Until then, I don't see the cause for anger.

Conduct the first two rounds in the offseason! Get it in writing that you want them done by X day of the offseason and you'll comp any picks not accounted for by that day. People will feel urgency then, and if they don't, they get comped, so it's their own loss.

Aaron, what makes you think that I'm being completely unjustified here?
I didn't explain everything because I figured people didn't need a lecture on it.
I have sent out way more PMs about who is up in the draft than I care for(I actually do not want to do this, I don't feel this is part of my duty at all).
I tried to use you not picking as a way to move the draft but nobody responded after that. And what I'm mostly mad about is round 2.
But I'm a grown man, I know when to be responsible and angry. I have done more than my part here and I stand by everything I have said. Send lists, and if you care about the draft then you'd better participate. End of story.

I'm outta here, honestly Habes this is not about you. You can argue all you want but it's not actually up for debate imo. It's just empty banter and I'll keep saying the same things back, because I'm not going to throw people under the bus just to justify myself. I know what I'm doing, try to trust me on it.
