Latest Live Draft Disaster

PostThu Jan 30, 2014 1:39 pm

Tried to creat a live league today. The area where you get to choose the time limit for draft picks no longer exists, so all live draft leagues now default to 120 seconds.

WAY to GO SOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anything you guys do without screwing it up endlessly?

Hopefully Garcia will let us know in his blog today about what is going on with the live draft and if that league that melted down after round 16 was ever taken care of. Even if they don't give free credits to them they should probably re-do the league so they get the frenzy they paid for.

Gents-

I hate to say this but there will be no acknowledgement of wrong doing- that doesn't exist.
There is a 50/50 chance that there might be a mention of things being fixed once it is in the works.

If you were expecting fair and honest behavior, well, I have some magic beans you might be interested in.

Amazingly, Garcia's blog addressed their moving the set draft pick duration and put it under the set date calendar. Might have been nice to let us know in advance.

So, created a new .45 sec live draft for tonight at 8:30 est.

Ive tried numerous times to be positive in encouraging them to do the right thing-
I wish you luck.

My feeling is that even though I didn't play in either league that got messed up- just saying sorry without giving out a free credit or so is worthless- that's not acknowledging wrong doing so much as saying 'ooops'.

Nobody is expecting perfection, just accountability.

Just to be clear: I was thanking the Last Druid.

I tell ya... we are just lint in their pockets...

They don't even know we are there, or that we care.
