it's intentional - though i'm not certain as to the motive. I doubt very much it's strategy.

not sure why he's allowed to still play, he spends what? maybe $600 a year?

He's in DC17 but not being a problem.
We got an interesting comment from Parnelli Baker who says he averaged only 1 hour on the clock in DC10.

If everyone averaged 1 hour on the clock, the draft would take 31.25 days. Not what most are hoping for.

Sir Gladiator is in DC 66 and has made timely picks and even went on auto this morning.
Twenty four hours since the draft started we've gone 5 1/2 rounds and that was after the no 1 overall pick was delayed because the manager thought it started 1pm CT. That's not bad for a public slow draft.

We have been polite and respectful with Frankie so either that helps or maybe STATS asked him to play ball.

Keep it up and I'll draft with him again.

Probably mid-way thru the previous draft he got with the game, starting communicating and making timely picks. I wouldn't worry about him in my league anymore, but it seems like every other draft has at least one problem drafter.

There is no official guidance from the NFBC before these things begin ... that is the main problem for new people.

I thought the #1 rule was avoiding being thrown under the Duke bus.

I'm in a draft w/Lonnie Sparks and he is doing just fine as well. Just thought I'd let the masses know since he hit KJ's crosshairs also. :mrgreen:

You can add Ron Aniska to the list. This guy took it upon himself to hold our recent DC hostage. We still managed to finish in under 2 weeks because it was a solo effort. Not once did he make an effort to communicate with the other owners about delays between picks and his most recent stunt was to exhaust the 8 hour clock in round 48.14 pick and then announce he would be gone for another 8 hours with just player 1 at 48.15 and 49.1 to pick. Scary that I've had more fun with 20 day DCs than with this guy being deliberately provocative with his buffoonery and lack of consideration.
