Okay, guys. Andrew pm'd me, giving me an ultimatum, more or less telling me what HE was going to do, and that I need to change a rule, which I already revised for the same reason, and that if I didn't he would quit.
Well, Andrew has been banned. And he will be replaced by a GM who is dying to get in here. Please be patient. If Andrew was here, we would be forced to wait anyway.
It is not fair to others for the rule change to take place now when ANOTHER GM could have potentially selected the same player. I won't do that. Besides this, it was reduced from 163 to 41GP. We have 15 rounds for prospects. If there's a player you like that happens to be a starter, strategize by drafting him early in the prospect draft. Please do the same with players who have injuries. This is a dynasty league, these guys will recover. If the injury worries you and said player is not worth the pick, then don't pick him. Instead, hope he's around later and pick in the round you don't mind the risk.

yeah i just want to make sure that we have everyone else still with us. maybe we should pause the draft for an hour and do a role call to make sure noone else wants to leave?
i dont want to hold the draft for too long bc then we hit the weekend and i think we all want to get through another round before that.

Basically he DID NOT read the rules and threatened to hold up the entire draft until a rule was changed cause he wanted it to be changed. In hindsight he brought up some good points, but they should of been brought up before we started not halfway through round 3. I'm not cool with the 41 games but I'm not gonna threaten people and quit over 1 silly rule. I thought we were all adults here lol

Edit: ^ What he said. Wow that is a much better way of putting it.
Changing how we figure out who is avail as a prospect.
Which is like changing candidates on an election ballot after half the country has voted.
I'll keep posting that last bit till people get it in their heads lol

I don't know my thought process is who cares what the rules are if it's 41 games it's 41 games, we are all dealt the same hand so it's fair

OK. Whose pick is it? Let's get the show on the road. MIN's. But he was the one holding up the draft on purpose until he gets his way...which he won't. So we're waiting for the new guy to be brought in and pick. Shouldn't be to long, we've had some very active people trying to get a spot.

Also did you call him Adam in this thread on purpose? Either way I laughed for a good 5 mins.

41 games seems reasonable to me. What changes did he propose?
