That got nearly everything. The real thing I was trying to get at with the clock question was that sending you or PK a proxy list might not actually make much difference, if you're asleep at the same time I am, and what happens if the clock runs out while we're all asleep, and someone who's awake sees I've been skipped, posts, and picks the person I had sent in for my proxy? (Or worse, what if that happens and there's a run, so 3-5 picks have been made before we can double back to that?) Will the policy be to essentially unwind the draft to that point, give me the player from my proxy, and have everyone thereafter re-pick, or does the person who posted in the thread get the player, and I make a new pick?
Also, one slight modification I'd recommend to the proxy list thing. If people are going to send in proxy lists, sending 3 names is good, but the best thing to do is send in one name for each pick between the current one and your pick. That way you're guaranteed to have at least one name from your list available at your pick.
In a perfect world, everyone will make their picks before their timer runs out, but if you KNOW that there is no chance you will be able to make a selection within the 6 hours you're given (which is unlikely), then sending a proxy list is really the only alternative option I can encourage. Everyone is more than welcome to send a longer list than three players, but generally, that's about all that is needed.
If you somehow do miss your pick though, then you will be skipped & the GM drafting after you will be on the clock for the next 6 hours. No exceptions.
Now, in MOST cases, you will still be able to go back & select your guy before the next person selects theirs, because people usually take a lot of time when drafting (especially in the earlier rounds). So, there is no reason to worry about your turn ever getting skipped unless you literally slept throughout the entire day.
