    I confirmed he was participating just a few days back. I guess he just isn't aware we've started.

    Time to skip I think.

      It's somewhat ridiculous to skip the guy in the 1st round. Either he's in or he ain't.

        Well he said he was in a couple of days ago before we fixed a start date, so given that he clearly doesn't know we've started yet, I think the only reasonable thing to do is skip until we get confirmation.

        Either way it won't make any real difference to move on.

          Agreed.
          If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

          • We probably need to make people at least post in the discussion thread once before they are in. This is pretty annoying both ways now. Skipping someone in round one is bizarre but waiting isn’t really any fun.

            • We don't have rules to deal with this, so just move on until we get confirmation. The only rule we have is the 24 hour skip rule.

              If he hasn't confirmed by his next pick we can assume he's out.

                Then it probably makes more sense to put him on the turn so he isn't being penalized from the start.

                  Ken has made it clear he does not want to give up the turn. So that's a no go.

                  Let's just move on.

                  There are no good decisions here.

                  • Mookie just replied to my tweet and said he is coming over. Revo might as well wait now and hopefully, we can get going.

                    • Does anyone want to volunteer to keep the History thread Up to date?

                      This list:

                      1.01 Walter Johnson P 1913 Min
                      1.02 Cy Young P 1908 CLV
                      1.03 Barry Bonds OF YTF PIT
                      1.04 Robin Yount SS 1982 MIL
                      1.05 Babe Ruth OF 1921 NYY
                      ...

                      I'll continue to do the copy/paste for the spreadsheet entries as I update the Spreadsheet, but if I have to update the pick list, it will only be done sporadically.

                      If someone can do this more regularly than I can, that'd be a great help.

                          • Sorry for the delay. And the upcoming delay. I had Foxx and Cobb a little lower on my list, so y'all left me three options I can't decide between. Also, I apologize in advance for what might be a long delay for my next pick. The outer bands of Cristobal are already here, and I have no idea when or if I will lose power or internet.

                                “Outer Bands of Cristobal” would be a good name for a band.
