Seriously, I'm thinking of cutting the first vote to 1 day then 1 day for runoff. The second day discussion tends to be less valuable and more sidetracked and we are looking at running into the opening of next year's season.
On the other hand, if people are finding 3 day discussions of 60 players more valuable than they would find 2 day discussions of 100 players . . . I'll leave it. Any input?
One day is incredibly short.
People here have work, kids, school etc - half of the day people here probably do not have the chance to browse. Then people do what ever they do with their summer time. They sign on, and they have to read 12 pages of text in order to catch up with the thread, then make a decision based on who they want, all in 24 hours - and they have to do this a 100 times?
It's too little time frame. 2 days and a run off vote is fine, even if that means this project will likely take a very long time, the alternative of one day voting I think is too much.
Well, maybe I shouldn't speak so soon, but as of now we shouldn't make many rash changes to the list because we are currently in the top ten. How the top ten-twenty will be dealt with will be significantly different from 30-100. We shouldn't make too many changes yet, because when we're at pick #45, one day isn't going to be enough to sort through the 6 different nominees that people will be debating for/against, there might not be an obvious 2 people who will lead the polls like there there have been from picks #1-5.
I also feel that past the top 20, debating will hold much more weight as most people's top tens and to an extent top 15s are usually set in stone before coming into these threads (which should make sense, because the top ten GOATs are the most analyzed, consistently compared and well studied).
) extrapolating how a guy would do today from the past.
