[b:ea84e62718]Wock[/b:ea84e62718]:
So we're clear, this is precisely what happened.
My proxy of [i:ea84e62718]Casey Blake[/i:ea84e62718] in Round 16 fired and he was on my roster. If anyone (possibly someone who picks near me) was watching the board, they can confirm this.
At some point between my Round 16 pick and my Round 17 pick, [i:ea84e62718]Casey Blake[/i:ea84e62718] was removed from my roster and looking at the draft summary, it appeared I had been skipped over (with proxies still loaded and waiting to fire), because my Round 16 pick was blank and [b:ea84e62718]Durantjerry[/b:ea84e62718] and [b:ea84e62718]Woods[/b:ea84e62718] had already selected.
This led to my post on September 8th at 18:23 hrs.
Because I was not looking for a player to be [b:ea84e62718]de-selected[/b:ea84e62718] from my team, it took a little further investigation to discover what had happened. This led to my post four minutes later reporting what I had found. In hindsight, I should have not added [i:ea84e62718]Jaime Walker[/i:ea84e62718] as my Round 16 pick, because I had already selected [i:ea84e62718]Blake[/i:ea84e62718] for that round. I was prepared to drop [i:ea84e62718]Walker[/i:ea84e62718] and re-select [i:ea84e62718]Blake[/i:ea84e62718], but by the time it was all said and done, the draft came back around to me and I simply re-added [i:ea84e62718]Blake[/i:ea84e62718] (see my post at 19:48 hrs).
I can understand your confusion, but [u:ea84e62718][b:ea84e62718]I did not botch a proxy or make a mistake[/b:ea84e62718][/u:ea84e62718]. I posted everything as I discovered it publicly. I've been doing this a while, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing.
Now, obviously, [b:ea84e62718]Albert2B[/b:ea84e62718] did not get back to back picks. There is something malfunctioning in the somdraft code. You shouldn't be able to make 19 picks if you wanted to. This is nothing new either, as our last live draft had code problems as well. If you notice, many of the date stamps after Round 15 are out of chronological order.
If you have heartburn or problems over any of this, please state your case. The sarcasm is fine to make a point, but all I ask is to please back up your point first and show a little consideration. If you think I need to cheat on a Round 16 pick to get an edge, then you haven't been playing long enough.
