Glad its all straight now but I'm with eleibowitz on this one, if we a full day ahead of schedule and someone accidentally picks a taken player then that person should be able to correct his mistake without taking some much heat from the peanut gallery.

I want to make my next pick as much as the next guy, but why the mad rush? The draft is enjoyable, savor it.
this was your performance in the most recent dh52m draft

1st round 9 hour wait
2nd round - skipped - last pick 4p your pick 11a next day
3rd round - skipped - last pick 4p your pick 1p next day
4th round - skipped - last pick 1230a your pick 8p that evening

(costing the draft somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 hours worth of delays)

I'm not sure you are in the best position to be weighing in on this subject at the moment

however there is a long standing precedent that has been followed in this instance

Wrong
Just for the record, I'm correct about this. This is still a timed draft, does not matter if the pick is screwed up.  Why have times at all then?

So I'm penalized for it? I should not be penalized if I made the pick in good faith and simply made a mistake.  This is a timed  draft and its timed for a person to make an acceptable pick.

You tried to steal my player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (just kidding)

but yeah, that's all the slot represents is an opportunity to make a selection - we should all suffer because you made a mistake?

afterall you were given like a 2 hour grace period after replying to scud that you'd be back in a minute to correct the error (unless scud was lying, was he?)

If waiting 3.5 hours for a draft pick on WIS is considered "suffering" to you, I envy your life.
