Sorry Gokce...

Bummer news on Wall Gokce. RealGM seems to be loaded with DL guys.

Well, the good news is that he's only out until late November. That's only a few weeks.

Last year from the 3 slot my first 4 picks was CP3, Wall, Gortat, Javale this year Gokce with the 3 pick went CP3, Wall, Iggy, Javale. It is eerie how he is getting my last year team. I really can't wait to make my next 2 picks and just finish this up. As for Wall's actual return date, putting him playing and full strength in 8 weeks is premature.

Ehh it could have been much worse, injuries are part of the game.

sabonis · Post #307 » by **sabonis** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 3:57 pm

he will be gone for a month of the season, so it's not that bad.

btw is this draft much slower than ffl? because it sure seems so and I have almost no patience lol

hamncheese · Post #308 » by **hamncheese** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 4:17 pm

Definitely slower. While FFL started one week before, it has 4 more managers and ended last Tuesday. We might finish this Tuesday, but it would be same amount of time as FFL and 56 fewer picks (both leagues have 14 rounds).

I say there is no way in hell this draft ends on tuesday, especially if you're saying in europe time zone because saturday is almost over that means 3 days are left and we have 29 picks, 10 picks a day is impossible. I'm guessing wednesday or thursday

hailfire4 · Post #310 » by **hailfire4** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 4:48 pm

Unless we get on a serious roll it looks like 7 more days at least. 3 picks a day just ain't very fast. However I do get to finish first prolly on Tuesday or Wednesday. hell that new draft u guys are starting on Monday will prolly smoke us.

Well, one thing that hasn't helped is those who have failed to send out email notifications. I know at a min that it's happened to me 3 times, silentjim and mbuser once.

I still say that during a slow draft, it's the manager's responsibility to follow the draft. It's not that hard to check every couple of hours to see if you're up.

Though it's not hard not to send out a quick email once you've picked. I got it somewhat easy in that both RB and DC gave me the ok to not send notices. But then, both made trades with other managers.

Every couple of hours? I'm sorry but that's just naive to think everyone 1) has access to do such a thing and 2) lives a lifestyle where this is an option. Not everyone is privileged to have the necessary technology and/or has the time to check so consistently.

Really? If that's the case then why would getting an email make any difference?

sabonis · Post #316 » by **sabonis** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 9:41 pm

I agree with wb

and also you don't have to refresh the boards every few hours. just check it and see how many picks away you are. if it's more than 5, you're most probably good for 10 hours. so check back in 8 hours or so just to be on the safe side.

or check and see that it's your turn in 3 picks, then send a 3 man list to a teammate of yours. there, not so complicated...

Because that is one method most of us are consistently tuned into (email alerts.) Now it doesn't affect me, but I can envision a number of professions that either don't allow or give enough time for someone to go to a fantasy website. At least by getting the notification, you'll try and make time in the near future. There are some who follow and actually rely upon the rules.

You miss the point. If they don't have access to digital tech during the day it's going to make no difference if they get an email or not because they need said access to get the email

hamncheese · Post #319 » by **hamncheese** » Sun Sep 30, 2012 4:31 pm

I can see a case where it makes a difference to email. It doesn't apply to me, but my phone will alert me to email notifications and I can read email fine, but kind of pain to view web pages. I was out all day last Saturday. I wouldn't be checking the web every couple of hours on my phone, but if I do get notice, I'd be able to get on and make a pick if need be.

Meyers leonard wasn't taken until Sly took him.
