JTJ - Summer school! One last course to graduate!

In answer to your question - yes if there was no clock I could probably check in once a day or so to make a pick. However I didnt want to ask people to wait on my behalf. If you guys are willing - great - but if you'd prefer to go ahead with a clock asap then you should go ahead and do so.

Sorry NP - I have been so focused on finalizing my trip to Europe that it sort of just creeped up on me. I certainly didnt mean to forget to let people know, and thank JTJ as otherwise I might have been slower to check in. :(

I'm cool waiting for AT.

Sounds like a good plan :)

If you're talking about no clock even after Round 1 I just don't think that's a good idea. We all know how the draft drags on the weekends (and other times) when there's no clock.

So i guess you want to get a fill in for AT then...

Here's the options as I see them

1. Get a sub for AT, means I have to blow up the current draft and create a new one but NBD as we've barely started.

2. Pause everything until July20th which may put us under pressure for Jeep who has Va-cay on the 30th ( for what it's woth I'm also away that weekend but will be beack on the 2nd of August)

3. Continue as we are with no clock allowing AT to check in once a day and post proxies/make picks.

again, everyon pick an option and I'll do what ever you guys want, I"ve never (well almost never :wink: ) tried to run this league as a dictator ship so I'll do what ever you all think is best.

My first choice is #3, #2 is OK with me. But if the majority wants a sub, then I'm not going to be ticked off or anything.

I am pretty certain I can check in once a day to make a pick or load 1 round of proxies and some days 2x a day... but I dont have enough time to do a draft with a live clock til the 20th as there will be days where I'll be without computer access for 10-12 hours.

So assuming It was my turn once a day ... that would be probably 1 round a day without a clock ... which means we should be able to hit Round X-XII by the 20th.

Obviously Id prefer to stick with the league, but I definitely am fine with being replaced.

So my vote (if I have one) would be the same as JTJs. ;)

Btw - I'll be sure to mention it a couple of more times as well - but I'll be in Europe from Sept 5th through 30th - so apart from the occasional check in at an internet cafe I will be out of touch.

However that shouldnt be an issue, because I don't see this NLD finishing before end of Sept (as the earliest forseeable start date even if you replace me that I can see is July 27th).

#3, I hate losing people that want to be part of a league and have no problem working around real life issues.

Use of proxies should enable us to get through a couple of rounds a day at least.

Sorry just have to share.

One of my many other hobbies is collecting 1/6 scale action figures( think 12" GI Joes only more high end) Well one of the top companies working in this area just announced their newest figure and I can't get over how incredible it looks I'm so stoke for it I just had to share, here's a few picks:

They also have a Joker figure coming out that's just as Kick @$$ and did several Iron Man figures from the movie that I own that are just as outstanding.

Sorry to inerupt, but for me this is awsome news. :D
Almost makes up for the Mets sorry season.
