    I just had a look back through this JP Liz characters posts, and that person hasn't made a post in the soccer forum in the last week apart from the one looking to be part of this game.

    Seems that person is into games and not football, no surprise we have been kept waiting.

    JP Liz does be fairly active on the Pro Wrestling forum and I've sent a PM so all we can do is give the benefit of the doubt on this one.

    Imo starting it today was too much of a rush. You should have PM'd everyone and then left it until Monday so everyone knew what they were supposed to be doing.

    I said earlier in the thread that there'd be no time limit on the first round so I'm not panicking :)

    There's no time limit between picks?

    For the first round. Just to get the ball rolling

    The Ball will roll fine with the time limits. Trying to set it all up in a day is where the problem is, especially coming into a Bank Holiday weekend.

    So what happens if next Wednesday rolls around and JP Liz still hasn't picked? The time limits are there for a reason tbh, and if your not going to use them in the first round then why use them in any round?

    Not trying to buzz kill here but surely allowing someone as much time as they want to pick will do the opposite of getting the ball rolling?

    Agree with this, I think the time limit should kick in on Monday, just leave it amble along until then

    To be fair there's plenty of posts from her on this board before joining the game:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=12456547&pp=25

    It seems Liz asked to be put on the reserve list and then seems to have logged off around 4 o'clock. Then funnily enough soon after it turns out she was included in the game when Iago left and she was then given a number 1 ranking. It's pretty funny really. :pac:

    All I can say is with regards to Liz, she took part in the Draft I ran on the PW board a few months back and I didn't have any problems with her. I think the lads who frequent the PW forum will also attest to the fact she can be relied upon. She's a regular poster on the TV and wrestling boards too.

    I would agree with Frisbee that when it does kick off there should be time limits to help it along.

    With the Bank holiday this weekend and that in the last Draft we did on here weekends were considered as breaks we'd be much better off leaving it until say Monday at 10a.m. to start it

    By that stage everyone will have had time to check a PM telling them their in the game and that they should know (roughly) when they're expected to have to pick.

    Im not sure if this was mentioned already, but I remember in the PW draft, non-participants where not allowed to mention any potential picks. This stopped peoples obscure and well researched picks being spoiled. I think this was enforced by threat of banning, but can't really remember.

    Maybe I'm missing it, but doesn't your OP only cover that it's not a good idea to mention why you picked player X over player Y? What I suggested was making it clear that non-participants in the draft shouldn't be "advising" us?

    she's more than welcome in the game, but i have a feeling she won't be as regular as some of us on here.

    so we may have to be patient, if people are willing!

    I think that's why the last one was limited to SF regulars, to avoid exactly this kind of problem.
