White Chocolate Dynasty 2023/24 (Yr1)

[deeman87]

You've triggered some ptsd for me here ... i was the #1 dominant player in my h2h last year and went out straight sets in the finals.

Haha, i was actually trying to trigger DutchRudder as he was dominant af in our h2h dynasty and then got obliterated by injuries against Bugsy in round 2 and then Bugsy and i were both fairly hammered by injuries and played out a finals for the ages with it being decided on a single Caris Levert shot that went in in the last 2 mins of the last game of the season. I was the happy recipient of what was a lucky run from 6th and its ironic because my team is so old and just filled with injury prone old guys. (lebron, davis, cp3, beal, nurkic, Russ to name a few) I promise ill stop gloating about this chip once the season starts guys lol.

Haha all good. I’m taking respite in seeing that 6 of my H2H players have already been picked in this draft.

About 5 hours until lights out in North Carolina, gents. Hope we can make it around the bend and I don’t bottleneck things.

Have messaged flaps but he's prob at work. Hopefully on lunch soon and can pick. Think I know who I'll take this time if flaps doesn't snipe me so I'll try not to hold things up.

 

[deeman87]

Also Gamewell if you want and I pick while you're still awake and then you're going to bed while ormond is on the clock feel free to pm me or Bugs your 2 picks and well put your picks in for you if they're still available and if not then we'll just wait til you wake up.

its a serious disease sir This is why we started the draft in july to account for my taking 6 hrs per pick despite being online for 5 and half of those.

 

[deeman87]

The worst thing about me taking 6 hours is that i ended up picking the guy i was going to pick 6 hours ago. Constructive thinking at its best! Ormond just comes in and makes a pick str8 away, tell me ur secret sir!

How long are we expecting this draft to go on? The longest I’ve participated in was about 6 days.

We are 20% through and it's been a week so far... honestly quicker than I expected.
It's a start up draft, we have 240 players to Pick, but I understand a 5wk draft is a long haul.

We may be able to do some things to speed up the second half of the draft. But I hope you're all enjoying it and are up for the challenge

 

[Rosey4Boston]

The almost 12 hours between picks is brutal, y’all.

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

The second post in this thread is being updated to show current team construction and I've consolidated the draft board a little so it doesn't end up 3 pages long.

 

[Toyin]

After the initial 12 hours expires, does it restart to 12 on their next pick or can we cut it down to 6 hours?

Sorry I’m getting antsy. Kinda want to get through this draft at this point.

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

I'd like everyone to be set with their first 3 picks before getting strict with the timer, so we'll give Helios that chance.
But... From round 4 onwards I will enforce the timer rules. 12hr then skip, second 12hr then forfeit.

We likely have at least 3wks more of drafting Toyin, settle in and enjoy it!

 

[deeman87]

Damn we rly slowed down now (no judgement after I took forever being indecisive)

Lets smash it over the weekend lads

3 picks in a day is a bit of a joke.

 

[deeman87]

Yep. We all need to be better here. We should all be logging on daily at this point to keep it ticking along.

 

[Frederico_WA]

May be worthwhile turning in email notifications for the draft thread if you are busy and forget to check-in.

Heres how to do it:

sry bud i waited up til 1130 i had to be up early. But yes lets try and be better but it can certainly be difficult with slow drafts and life getting the way. Not to mention some of us are over the other side of the world. But email notifications are absolutely the way to go.
