Airplane Ticket Draft

[Kenneth Viljoen]

‘After round 2’ is completely disingenuous. It was ant the end of round 1 and that’s also completely not my problem about whether or not you think it should have been allowed - not sure what reasonable objection there could be actually?

actually was on in time and saw the posts re: me being accidentally skipped and when it didn’t seem to bother anyone i was a bit bemused as to why

It’s all good. Storm in a teacup. It’s a draft on a website ffs.

It was not at the end of round 1 , round 2 had already begun when you came in , and the reasonable objection is that in the context of this Draft everyone shows their hand about which destination is picked , the most favorable destination for a new team in round 2 was Pakistan even the mod commented that Ataraxia was lucky because he was the only player who picked from there at the end of round 1 and then you came in and started off with Wasim and Waqar lol but the mod was okay with it so it didn't go further. If its a storm in a teamcup why not just finish your draft instead of getting others to pick for you and complaining about being sour.

Let’s play nicely

How ironic, considering you stole all the best players just before me

@Jarquis I am sorry. It was midnight here when you were skipped and it was bought to my attention by Teuton when I came back online. Given the last player you needed was a keeper, I didn't saw any point in asking someone to withdraw their pick who hasn't taken one. So when Bitmap took Marsh, I asked him to wait till you times out and only afterwards alloted Marsh to him. Now please post your batting order.

@Kenneth Viljoen also sorry. Back then I thought that had he gone at the end of R1 he would had taken the same players and treated it like that. Looking back I should had asked him to take a Saffa to accompany Faulkner.

For the record, I blame @Red_Ink_Squid for this whole fiasco. If he didn't give me the silent treatment when I asked him to play earlier, none of this would have happened.

Well one pick into round 2 isn’t ‘after round 2’ is it ya bloody moron. If it was so advantageous, why didn’t the person before me pick Wasim and Waqar, lol?

All good, it was the Marsh thing that irked me. I’m sorry if I misread but I didn’t take it as Marsh still being available for me if I had wanted him. As, I said, no biggy. Bigger issue has been the 14 hour days and thinking ‘I’ll get to that in a sec’ and then not managing to. So sorry for that.

Also, don’t apologise to Kenneth, lol. For all intent and purposes, I did go at the end of round 1. I just timed out before I made my first pick So made my first and second one at the same time.

After round 2 had begun is when you picked don't know why you keep saying you were picked after end of round 1 that's a lie .. The pages before clearly show the timeline , you're a ****ing horrible player to play with , you time out , you don't tag and then you bitch and moan at the end calling me a moron hiding behind your computer .in future leave me out of these voting drafts. Thanks.

 

[ataraxia]

Oh for christ's sake get over yourselves.

A sad end to an entertaining draft ! Let's not escalate this any further it's only a draft guys

Because the beginning of round two directly follows the end of round 1…
@Kenneth Viljoen tagging for politeness.

 

[Silver Silva]

So for clarification round 2 began with JOJOXI, then it was HB's turn , who withdrew , then GIMH picked , then Himanvv picked , then Jarquis asked to take over from HB or play two Pakistan players ,mod said he can start as a new team so if Jarquis was given permission from mod it's not his fault.

You shouldn't have been able to start a new team you should have taken over from HB's team once round 2 had already gotten under way but I guess these drafts are popularity contests.
Politely use that tag button when you are playing future drafts you clearly know how to use it.

 

[capt_Luffy]

@Jarquis and @Kenneth Viljoen please just let it end here.

You are a great drafter. Don't quit drafts due to one incident. On voting, just draft the team and forget about the votes. Nowadays I generally don't even check the voting threads.

As was described - a storm in a tea cup. Drafts are a bit of fun and not something to ger worked up over.
