In further defense of bigmahon, we actually had an e-mail conversation where he asked me what he should do. I encouraged him to wait a little while longer, which he did - but it eventually reached a point where I told him to just go ahead throw the manual pick to skip you.
Going by the strict interpretation of the rules, he didn't need to ask me. He was justified at any time to play the manual pick.
