Last time we didn't do a free-for-all copy/paste race, we just did a true draft style. I think that would work best again.

So that's it? So is there a cutoff time?

Not a great same choice/same timestamp resolution system.

That would remove the issue of someone posting at the same timestamp like just happened.

Whoever is first in the thread with their pick (after 12:00 PM EST) gets the pick. I just wanted to let you know quickly, so you could choose another

The only problem with a draft order is you end up waiting all day for someone to pick.

We did it this way in the TV show draft, and it worked fine.

The rules for this game are the exact same as the last time we did this. I just gave the suggestion for copy/paste. The same thing happened last time with many people picking at exactly 12.

So are you keeping track of everyone's picks?

Sorry I'm late, is there still time?

If so, my pick is Super Mario 64 - N64

Plenty of time. I have added your pick to the list.

I know that sometimes posts on this forum with the same timestamp can be "flipped" so that the second post appears first. However, in this particular example that didn't happen...when I made my post it was the only one there. Yours must have come in just seconds after.
