    I'm thinking that it could be okay to skip picks if they're not made in a reasonable amount of time (3 hours? More/less?) and that person just doesn't get a pick in that round. Seem fair?
    Another idea is that when the person actually shows up, then they would be allowed to 'catch up', drafting up to the number of slots that had been skipped. For example, a player goes missing for the first 2 rounds and loses their priority. However, when they show up midway through round 3, they are allowed to make 2 picks out of what is left on the board. The downside would be potential confusion if things get too far out of whack.

    Yeah, I dunno if it's worth taking that seriously and keep track of things. If multiple people miss their windows for multiple rounds it becomes a bit of a nightmare.

    Indeed. Cool game, though. I like the twist on the typical Oscar ballot contest.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Hate to do this dude, but it's not your pick and you don't have one until later in this round. Sucks I know, but we needed to get on with this.

    Yeah, sorry! If we had more time I'd have given it to you but I felt we needed to be a little ruthless. Game is certainly still wide open.

    Also, Skitch, you should pick or you'll be bumped to the end of the round at 8pm.

    Ugh, so harsh.

    It's updated... The only thing that changed was Ezee's order in the first round and his getting skipped over.

    It's dreamdead's turn now. You have until 10:50pm to select or you'll be bumped to the end of the round.

    I swear this is fun guys! Sorry I'm being a bit of dick, just trying to keep it moving so we'll have a full slate of picks by Sunday night.

    Ivan Drago's up. Open until 11:48... the it'll be his pick again...

    Let's suspend the 3 hour time limit between 12:00am and 9:00am EST, in case people need to sleep . If picks are made between then, cool, but the time limit restriction resumes at 9am.
