I have a Plan B option that I also like which I will hopefully get to use (though I better not take anything for granted. :pac:)

well unless it's Aries you can now!

AA is a great pick imo also, he was near the top of my list too just didn't quite fit any current plans so I'm okay with him being picked by someone else.

Yeah Vader is great and just like last year when I got him a real steal at this stage in the game, really great value to get the monster now.

Meanwhile I think I need one or two talkers (have specific ones in mind but we will see) in later rounds but I'd wager my roster could take anyone elses roster in a straight up fight atm!

While checking out my teams eligibility (as mentioned I pmd LTSC about them just to confirm as I think Shamrock always going with Big Bossman before meant this is their first time drafted together) I did notice another team drafted already probably were not eligable. Personally a think it'd be a real d!ck move to come back to it so much later and say it isn't okay though so I won't be doing that but wanted to point it out as often having been picked before means it's okay to be picked again.

Shelton Benjamin & MVP were picked together and I guess I was a little busy and the fact that they had a tag team name "Black Dynamite" made me assume they were fine but they only ever tagged for the period between: 20.11.2012 to 02.12.2012 (around 2 weeks for the World Tag League 2012 tournament) and 2 other matches 5 months earlier 1 of which was a 8man tag. Therefore the precident of them having been picked previously shouldnt mean they can be picked again next year but this year cos I don't wanna be a d!ck and cos the time to say they didn't meet the 3 month criteria for a tag team is long passed they are ok.

who knows took me about 3 hours of random refreshing to see what you wrote there after eventually getting to see the PW board. Hopefully it clears up and the ddos attack on the site is put in the rear view mirror and we can get back to drafting

I assume whoever is picking next will get an extension if they miss the 24 hour rule? Hopefully this is sorted now.

Yeah, it's Cheese iirc but It would not be fair on him for him to only have 24hrs from when I pmd him after my pick, as who knows when he will even be aware boards is back. Hopefully he is on soon though and doesnt need any extension as we had been going at a fine pace before all this happened.

Yeah, you can change them if you wish but you don't have to. It was a full round since so I don't think it'd be fair to make you change it now.

Hopefully things will be back to business as usual today with boards and drafting

The anticipation is at fever pitch levels.... whens the next round draw up BH

Usually when we are 3/4 of the way through the round although since boards has gotten back up and running poster traffic has seemed to be way down on PW When you look at number of posts etc so who knows when we will get another 2/3 picks made. Dunno whether people realize it's back to normal or if it even is for some (with lots of login issues for posters still).

don't wanna throw the next rounds stip up too early either as it might change how some would draft this round although i'll be honest the stip probably won't affect most peoples plans at all.

They were the top tag pick left on my list and I was honestly tempted to pick them for my go even though I didn't have a set plan for them like I do for Shamrock (well hopefully)
