seriously - why are these guys showing up and just filling one at a time of their open units? what possible advantage is there to waiting? trying to leave someone there for a supplemental draft pick? let's get this thing finished...

I trust ct and was encouraged when pugs won a couple of auctions.  However, there is only one active bid right now.  If I wake up tomorrow and don't find any new bids, I'm going to start asking some questions of people.

One more bid came in.  Not exactly what I had in mind, guys.

I was originally worried that there could be a stand-off at the end of the draft, if two players had 8M left and 2 units to fill, whoever picked second would get a better supplemental draft pick. But since none of the guys left are going to go into bankruptcy, this shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully we can finish this up very soon, and maybe do the supplemental draft later this week.

Agreed, brian.  I don't see why this can't be finished up within the next few days.

at this point I think the only thing we could do is let the league run the team, or an owner take a 2nd team - unless somehow we can convince someone to take it over at this point in the proceedings

I think GC should be collected as soon as possible to prevent more people from disappearing - probably should have had them submitted before the auction

Hey, it could be worse, guys.  We could be playing GD.  Those guys are seriously ticked off this morning.

Judging by the uproar on the forums this morning, the answer is yes, and badly.

Different situations, coldfeet.  Kneeneighbor and ct have explained their situations and I expect they'll get squared away within the next few days.  Pugs is likely to be almost done and cubieblu is MIA.
