Was skeptical of that last category, but it turns out there are plenty of viable options

If had taken more of a FGA saver than Ariza, durantbird using Wizards MJ wouldn't have been THAT bad a play here

Ariza fits multiple categories, but yeah, it definitely looks like he wanted him to fit the Wizards category.

your turn starts in one minute

If people are going to stop checking in the draft once they stopped feeling like they had a chance - I would much rather they just quit, let us know, and save everyone the time. Half-way participation really destroys momentum and joy of the game for everyone else. There is no shame in bowing out honorably. There is shame in sticking around without paying attention.

This feels like a massive overreaction to one person missing a two-hour window.

Dr P has allowed two entire turns to grind through the full two hours. Snake did on his first and we are already thirty minutes deep into the next category. So your framing was incorrect which explains why you would think it was an overeaction.

Sorry, it was mostly just a coincidence I missed twice

You're usually very punctual - I appreciate the acknowledgement.

I’ll be blunt. I don’t have to put up with this.

I had stuff going on.

I’ve been a rock solid participant in these for over a decade and don’t need that questioned by you.

It's a matter of consideration. You clearly think you're owed something. Not a great way to navigate life.

I would be embarrassed if I pulled that. You would see me give an apology or explanation like Dr P. Your response? Oof.

as far as I can tell, you are the only one left with a pick for three teams in three years. unless you are going to pick someone that has eligibility in another category, you may be able to make your final pick whenever you please.

Gonna come back to this one more time because of how egregious your response was. You are routinely the guy calling other people out - and it doesn't come across as curiosity - it comes across as trying to lay down the law. You had two fits already in this game - in which you hadn't done any research and in both cases you were flat out wrong.

In the last game, we had folks bow out because of a bad pick and you went on to criticize them for that.

Given your willingness to dish out criticism, it seems pretty reasonable to expect you to be able to take some constructive criticism yourself. Instead, you appealed to your decade-long participation as though that somehow made the criticism invalid, rather than owning what you did.

That is the part I find weak. If you're going to hold everyone else to a standard, you should be willing to live under it yourself.

You have Ringer's pick by any chance?
