Round 7, League 5 - Sign-up time (LIVE DRAFT)

Where is the "Commish". I thought he was in this league? I say grab the filler and let's go. Mr Alou has been given more than enough time to at least let us know what is happening. Also, if he is skipped we'll just have more headaches later. Where is The Commish????????

It looks like Teepack and Mr. Alou have both abandoned this draft. There are two people signed up in the league 6 thread. I suggest those of us who want to participate in this event jump ship. Don't know what else to say.
FWIW, I very much like Ichiro, especially at No. 12. I have played for a while here and won a championship. I've never jumped ship like this, but if the other league fills before this one gets going again, then so be it. Perhaps we can fill the other league today.

Yes, I am beginning to lose my patience too. The 2008 game will be operational before this event concludes.

Like I said before, I love live drafts, but this will probably be the last one I do on the Tour, unless some things get fixed.
I think the problem is that we have (at least) three different approaches to live drafts here, and combining them leads to frustration and makes this no fun at all. And I don't need to pay $25 to have no fun and be frustrated; I can do that for free.
One class of players are those that want this to go as fast as it possibly can.
Another group likes to take a look at other team's picks before picking, likes the draft to keep moving, understands that things sometimes happen in life, but wants it finished in a reasonable time.
A third believes it's just a game, it's not a high priority and they get to it when they can.
The problem is when all three combine, as we have here. These drafts are really great if you're with a group who has the same approach, but this is miserable.
And on another note: Teepack does a wonderful job, but he needs help, maybe a board so there is backup when he isn't here. I've played in leagues with Tee for years, he is unfailingly courteous, so I have to believe when he can't find the time even to check in and say: "Sorry guys", he's way too caught up in something to be here, and we're essentially playing without a commissioner. And that leaves no one to resolve the disputes and hard feelings that result.
Just my thoughts at 8:30 this morning clicking on Refresh Draft RD7LG5.

The Clock
by McBurns » Tue Dec 11, 2007 10:16 am
I'm just wondering whatever happened to the clock? If people who don't give a damn start losing draft picks they might start making proxies. I HATE live drafts because this always happens. A live draft shouldn't take longer than two weeks which is plenty of time for people researching. But this draft is on pace for FOUR months.
