After discussing it with the League Managers, it has been decided by a vote of 4-to-1 with 2 abstentions that we need to replace Kansas City (Mark) effective immediately. Despite being notified by at least three LMs about his pick, in the 48 hours prior to his pick, during his time OTC, and for the remaining time in the 3rd Round (including at least 5 notifications by myself), he did not log on and make a pick in time. This has been a theme for Mark, as his activity (or lack thereof), ignoring and not responding to trade inquiries and skipping or missing his time slots for picks, has not been suggestive of someone who was going to be successful in this league. I know first hand how busy Mark is, so it's not personal, it just wasn't a fit, and I apologize for bringing him into the league knowing his time constraints. That said, we appreciate him running the Chiefs for the short time that he did.
As such, we now have one spot open (KC in case you weren't paying attention), so please let me know if you are aware of someone who would be a good fit to fill it.
Also, as we the LMs did not find it appropriate that Mark skipped his pick, we have voted 3-to-2 with 2 abstentions to not allow Mark to forfeit his pick for the good of the league. As we are replacing him, we have therefore gone back in to the 2nd Round, as there had not yet been a pick in the 3rd, and made a selection for KC's future owner and future prosperity for this team in the league. The player that was selected was Tajae Sharpe (TEN-WR), so please adjust your draft boards accordingly. I will be running KC in the mean time until we can find a new owner, though I don't anticipate doing much dealing at the moment for him until we get other things hammered out, please send any PMs with trade offers to me (though I am going on a week-long vacation tomorrow, I will try to answer as promptly as possible).
Though it sucks to have to replace an owner, especially as we had just gotten full, we felt this was a necessary course of action that required our immediate attention, as we were convinced that we would have had to replace Mark sooner rather than later anyway. Thanks to all for your understanding and your continued effort and devotion to the league.
