heavy-set 39 Posted July 28, 2011 no slow boat for me. take care Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted July 28, 2011 I am SOOO against slow boat but fvck it (not butt fvck) I'll deal with it. Also I very rarely post during the day but there is not a night that goes by that I wont at least check in - especially if we are drafting. What will the time limit be for a slow boat ? 24 hrs. Obviously, I would hope most people would pick faster than that, but 24 hours will be the clock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dain11279 963 Posted July 28, 2011 Like I said if heavy-set is out I'll do what I can do. I can post during the day and then I'll do my best to follow in the evening hours. We should have plenty of time. The season doesn't start for another month and a half. It would be nice to get it pinned though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southcarolina 166 Posted July 28, 2011 Ive never done a slowboat draft before...how long do you have between picks? Is it unlimited, or is there a limit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted July 28, 2011 Ive never done a slowboat draft before...how long do you have between picks? Is it unlimited, or is there a limit? I will have a 24 hour limit. I want to stress, I really want people to pick as fast as possible, but I understand, sometimes you can't. If 24 hours goes by with no pick, I will auto pick the next highest player according to FFT rankings in a needed position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus christ you are a whiny ass woman. I can understand prefering a live draft (I'm in that camp myself), but are you really going to take your ball and go home over this? heavy-set = Go ahead and report me.

Voltaire 5,160 Posted July 29, 2011 TBBOM, if you want me to set up a draft site, it's no trouble at all, I'll go over to myfantasyleague.com and have it good in five minutes, a site I highly recommend. I'm sure most all of you are familiar with it. Considering this is a free league, we'd then have to load the teams manually into a site that sponsers fantasy football leagues for free. But considering how nice drafting at MFL is, it's worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I have no interest in paying for a host site yfor a free league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 5,160 Posted July 29, 2011 Obviously, you've never used MFL, because if you did, you wouldn't be talking like this. First, we don't have to pay, we just have to draft there. Second, the drafting goes much faster there because of the preselect option, and third, it's a really, really, focking nice setup they have there. You can preselect to make your draft go faster which is the biggest reason to use it. Also the automatic time limit, you see all the teams updated, all the players available, you can send trade offers through the site, this is all off the top of my head. It's an all around better experience trust me. Anyways there is a downside as I'm finding out now. Their server must be jammed. At first I thought I had a poor connection, but all my internet pages load up at a normal speed except that one doesn't work. I should already be finished setting up by now, instead I haven't even started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should already be finished setting up by now, instead I haven't even started. im in 3 MFL leagues . But my apologies, i thought you were talking about having the league hosted by MFL. pre draft feature or not, its the same damn thing. Its not a live draft and people take their time to make picks. Just like we would do in a forum at FFToday. Anyone who takes 7 hours to post their pick here would take 7 hours to select at MFL if they havn't pre drafted, which happens all the time. I don't personally pre draft because my position preference often changes based on picks before me. Sure, you get to see an updated player pool but i'll be using one of my cheat sheets anyway so.... I don't care what we do, i just thought it was funny to say a slow draft on MFL is vastly different than a slow draft here. I'm just going to shut my trap and wait to be told where to go / what to do for the draft. Seems like theres too many cooks in the kitchen and this is Titans baby anyhow.

gocolts 300 Posted July 30, 2011 I thought TBB wanted to specifically do the draft here so everyone at the Geek Club can tell us were idiots and make amusing comments with every pick we make. So one way or another, new bored or not, our picks will likely be on/at the geek club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted July 30, 2011 Ok. It seems like decisions need to be made, so I'll make em. We will do our draft here. It will start two weeks from today. Sounds good. It makes the most sense to draft here considering we all post here regularly anyway. I'm sticking with my first pick, so gocolts is on the clock. I'll be traveling when this thing officially kicks off, but will be back Sunday evening. Maybe the draft gets back around to me by then....maybe it doesn't. In the event it does, I'm going to PM gocolts a list and instructions for my next two picks. That way, we'll get 4 picks in rapid succession to help keep things moving along.
