Im confused as well. Some people (Dry) get it exactly. Others seem to have no idea what is going on.
So let me clear a few things up: there is no trainer/team concept. That was the idea that Chillen had, and something that is up to him to run. I expressed my concerns with it in the original thread.
This is simply a situation where people team up to be workout partners, via the internet. Same as if you worked out with someone at your current place. You dont have to change your routines if you dont want to. We are all humans and can make our own choices on what to do. If two people get together and want to pursue the same routine, thats fine.
Its really up to you guys how you want to workout. This is mainly for motivation, but the draft concept is just a fun idea I had. Later on I will implement the ability to change/trade/draft new people. However that will be saved for later, as that will probably cause heads to explode.
This is not a competition. There is nothing to win by losing the most weight, or gaining the most muscle. This is simply a way for all of us to band together and use our collective energy to keep each other on the right track.
As for the time limit. This is an international competition. Many different time zones are included with people from all over the world. Not everyones job includes browsing the internet all day. Be patient. I just released the draft order today, so give it time. People should look at who they want, maybe choose two or three, to be prepared when it is your turn. That will make things go smoother.
If it takes a week, it takes a week. Little more, no problem. I hope we get done by Saturday, as I leave for Russia on Sunday until the 31st.
Before I leave I am going to create a journal sub forum for all the team journals. Any other questions?
well that was lame, but such I have come to expect from you.
ff are you dropping out, cuz I know other people who may want to get into your spot.
im not deeming anything. it is for fun, but since you didnt make the cutoff time, you have to come around and start some crap. Now there are only 37 people, which means someone who did sign up will be left out.

yeah what if two people are listed as drafters that want to pair up? does that mean we can't pick each other then?
i guess originally some people posted as "either" drafter or draftee.
i think this is too formal. why can't we just pick someone of interest and go from there rather than having all this order? LOL! i just think it's easier if we picked someone we already know or think we would do well with. just my opinion. this drafter/draftee stuff is confusing.
am i making sense? i'm confused...LOL!

Yes yes everyone is dissatisfied. Draft is over.
People are expecting things to happen instantly. We have people all over the world who are doing this. If it were Krakens pick (just an example) right now, he wouldnt be here to pick because he is on during the day, not at night. It goes both ways.
The draft cannot happen in one day.

you're a grown up, you can do whatever you want. however if all the members who knew each paired up, where would be the fun for the newer people. and you dont need a draft situation to pair up with someone you know anyways.
based on stats you should pair up with someone you thnk you would do well with. i dont understand why everyone is making this thing so complicated. the draft is the fun part, at least i thought
haha you think i would end it because you are upset. this is how anything new wroks...people are confused, dont understand...give it some time and everyone is like "oh ya, this is cool now"
this is what happens all the time, so lets just give this thing more then 12 hours to see how it works out.

i'm not trying to make it complicated, but i think that the draft would benefit some and for others i think it would be cool to pair up with someone they knew and felt comfortable with. maybe we could have some choose who they are comfortable with and the others who aren't familiar with some can draft? i don't know if that would make it more confusing or not. i like the idea, but i don't think it suits all. i'm not trying to ruin or put the idea down or anything.
I think Tony was saying if two people are focused on being with each other, then just state that and start working with each other. But if we have too many people doing this, then it negates the intention of this idea.
The point of this whole thing is that two people are paired together and they motivate each other. They're virtual training partners.

But part of the idea is to get people working with other people and out of their comfort zone I think
Yeah, I agree on this point. Anyone can just go to any online friend and make a pact with them. With this draft way of doing it you are limited to a list and may end up with someone you don't know as well and thus making it more interesting.
Anyone that complains about it is silly. It's something someone made up and invited others to participate. It would be like if you joined in a game of dodgeball and then complained that you aren't allowed to throw the ball at your own team members.

understandable. like i said i wasn't trying to put the idea down or complain about it. i guess i didn't fully understand the whole draft/draftee thing to begin with.
