I'd still consider a deal, if you're interested. I still have two targets left on the board.

Dilbert, you still want a second team?

If we need someone to take over a second team, I'll be happy to help.

Cool. The Celtics are yours. After Tension makes his pick, you're free to make a selection at any time.

Will do, but dammit, you're making my life miserable by making the #6 pick wait until after #14 goes. Especially since I am almost 100% convinced he'll take the guy I'd take right now, and the guy BleedGreen would take if he showed up.

Edit: I presume if Tension misses his pick, I'll be free to go anyway?

I'm almost positive you will NOT like the next pick, but you never know lol.

It's honestly a really tough decision. I might trade back, I might take a certain someone and use him to do so, but at the same time don't wanna risk not getting any takers and being unsatisified with my team philosophy

Worry not, Tension. I have my 2-man dance card ready, and whichever guy's gone, I'll take the other. Already sent it to Semaj, just in case I'm not on when the trigger's finally pulled.

man i wish it was only like one hour between picks. eight hours is a massive chunk of time. at this rate i won't make my first pick for several weeks.

But then, it would end quickly. Another thing is that making that short of an interval would most probably lead to a lot of GMs missing their picks and if that happens, GMs who missed their picks might lose interest. And I think it's 6 hours intervals between picks and not 8.

I'm looking to trade..

3rd (8th) + 7th (8th) for 2nd (not lower than 15) + 9th.

Koponen · Post #273 » by **Koponen** » Wed May 29, 2013 12:22 pm

Looking to move up from #57 into the first. Willing to part with multiple top-7 round picks, including #57. My 2nd (#27), 4th (#27), and 6th (#27) for someone's 1st and 8th?

tgo2223 · Post #274 » by **tgo2223** » Wed May 29, 2013 4:16 pm

Will it be my turn to pick if no picks are made by 1:14 pm?

sgg001 · Post #275 » by **sgg001** » Wed May 29, 2013 4:23 pm

Good question TGo. What is the ruling here?

Have to be honest here, if the 1st round is any indication this isn't the best medium for what we're attempting to do. Perhaps a large chat or something would be helpful b/c if the 1st round goes slow my guess is later rounds will be really challenging.

tgo2223 · Post #276 » by **tgo2223** » Wed May 29, 2013 4:36 pm

Yeah later rounds go a lot faster... As for this round, the guy two spots infron of me was due at 7:14am and It says you have 6 hours to make a pick in round 1 so the guy right before me is almost out of time too.

ponder719 · Post #277 » by **ponder719** » Wed May 29, 2013 4:41 pm

Tgo, Tension was the guy ahead of you (since I was just randomly filling in there), and he picked at 4:48. The clock changes over to a new person when a pick is made, not when the clock for the previous drafter would expire, so ETtheEnigma went on the clock at 4:48 AM, and his clock time expired at 10:48 AM. You're free to pick now, and ETtheEnigma may pick whenever he arrives. Once you pick, Nico4TW will be up.

Unfortunately, I knew the activity level would be a challenge (based on what just transpired this season), so I'm not surprised. I'll bump it up to 4 hours starting immediately after ET's pick, and we'll see what happens.

This^

Last year things were very live on here...2nd round playoffs, 7 game series, etc. Chances are, if Rose never tears his ACL, last year's BTG wouldn't have been as active. So yes, the lack of interest this year isn't all that surprising, unfortunately. I just wish people wouldn't sign up for this if they aren't up for it. I don't mind it taking a while, the point of the game is to pass time, but missing picks really pisses me off.

If I need to take another squad to speed things up just holler
