Just make your f-ing pick after the guy b4 you makes theirs asap. We have the same 3 or 4 people that slow everything down every single draft (HDS1..you are one of them). They just need to pay better attention and all would be fine. We all know who they are. Also, whomever has the 1st or 24th pick should be prepared, they have had more time than anyone to research their next picks. Drafts tend to flow better when the owners on the turn don't take 4 hours to make their picks.

The clock is just there for a$$holes so that we have a guideline for how slow mf'ers can be skipped instead of waiting 3 days for someone to make a pick. It's not mean't to be a true schedule.

(If we are talking solutions---have every owner give me their cell#. The draft will go really fast. :))
You've held up more than one league for multiple days while we waited for you to get your team entered...
I was the last one to enter my team one time and at least 7 people have my cell # and didn't text me. I thought we were still waiting on a few more and I had been on vacation.

We also have a few Commissioners who will not take into account other leagues and drafts that are going on at the same time and therefore I may be involved in 3 or more drafts at the same time. My #1 priority will always be on not holding up 23 other owners during a live draft. If a league has to wait a day or 2 xtra b4 it gets started, then maybe one of the Commish's should have delayed the start of their draft.

You’ve also been the slowest drafter in at least one draft. Maybe just don’t call people a$sholes and MFers if you also have held up leagues and been the slowest drafter. We’re pretty much on schedule with this draft, let’s just all chill.

There's a big difference when the guy picking in front of you picks at 3 am est in the morning and then you make your pick when you wake up on vacation at 9 am pst than when a guy in front of you picks at 9am and you don't make a pick until 9 pm at night. I GUARANTEE you that between the hours of 9 am est and 9 pm est, I have NEVER, ever been the slowest drafter. And you are one of the ones that has my cell #. Text me if I am holding you up instead of being like a little b who brings stuff up 3 months after it happened.

You absolutely were the slowest drafter in one of the recent drafts, and I know for a fact that someone texted you that to confirm that the last time this came up.

But yeah, the cranky old man who complains more than EVERYONE combined, WHILE being just as guilty as anyone of being slow is in the right, and the guy who drafts 4x faster than him and just wants everyone to chill is the little b. Okay

Say I was the slowest drafter in Bowis $55 that one time, that's no comparison to guys like redbooda and HDS1. Not even remotely. Plus, I explained that I had been on vacation, that the owner who usually texted me was also unknowingly on vacation and I apologized. "guilty as anyone"--what are you smoking?

I wasn't the one who started complaining--I think oddson was. And in this case, complaining was more than justified. I know you didn't enjoy the stall we had just recently. You haven't seen me complain in Bowis or ODL or the $52 in months.

My apologies if my language got several of you guys (or gals?) panties in a wad. I have gone back and edited it for the ladies.

*insults everyone else for getting offended at words*
*gets offended at words*

*gets upset when others are slow*
*is slow*

I think I see a pattern here. Sorry you “got your panties in a wad.” Want me to go back and edit my posts? Oh wait, I didn’t call you any names. I just stated facts and tried to reason with you. Yet you still got upset.

And there’s no need to phrase it as “say I was the slowest drafter in BOWIS”. You were the slowest drafter. No need for hypotheticals. And I don’t care that you were. It’s just funny that you also complain about slow drafters more than everyone else on the site combined.

Ok, ok, I give you your crown of being the Fastest Drafter on the site. While I may never be as fast as you, I am hardly a slow drafter. And I certainly am not anywhere close to the parties in question.

Gets upset at me for complaining when others, including the Commissioner complained. Go back and find the last time I complained about slow drafters that wasn't DDL and you'll see it's been a long time. Thanks bud, by the time you and I are done with our childish back and forth, guys like redbooda will think they did nothing wrong, that it was me and you the whole time, and they'll never improve. Way to go.

Oh, and I did not edit the name I called you because it fits.
