JD Sports Forum! / Re: JD Fantasy Basketball 2005 - Draft Order Posted, Draft begins October 1st

OK, see here is the problem...
Yes, there are two "time-stamped" PMs in your box. I got that part. But, you seem to think there is NO way anyone can "control" the draft via this method, but you are WRONG. You do still have some influence over the interpretation of the draft order.
There are at least two distinct ways of "matching up" those lists. The first way to do it is the way that you chose - assigning the numbers in Kev's list with the teams in Brent's list:
12 Canuckleheads
9 EZ
7 Minnesota Muskies
10 Dunking Wookies
11 THE PULPHORNS
1 Dressel's Rebels
3 Dooku's Dunkers
2 The Famine
5 Snagglicious
6 vacant1s
4 S words
8 The Zods
Obviously, this method favors you and Kev, which is why there is some suspicion, especially when you see the second way to do it...
The second way to interpret the two "time-stamped" PMs is as follows. You assign numbers to Morgbug's team list, and then match those numbers to the list Kev gave you. It comes out with a WHOLE different draft order.
Brent's list =
1 Canuckleheads
2 EZ
3 Minnesota Muskies
4 Dunking Wookies
5 THE PULPHORNS
6 Dressel's Rebels
7 Dooku's Dunkers
8 The Famine
9 Snagglicious
10 vacant1s
11 S words
12 The Zods
Then, matching to Kev's list your draft order would be:
12 The Zods
9 Snagglicious
7 Dooku's Dunkers
10 vacant1s
11 S words
1 Canuckleheads
3 Minnesota Muskies
2 EZ
5 THE PULPHORNS
6 Dressel's Rebels
4 Dunking Wookies
8 The Famine
See, using THIS numbering schema, the draft order then becomes much different. Instead of you and Kevin being #1-2, you are now #10 and #12.
Can you see now why even though Kevin and Brent sent two "time-stamped" PMs, there is still room for some people to doubt you?
Just trying to help you understand that your "fool proof" draft order isn't as lock solid as you'd like to think and that despite the fact that you have two "time-stamped" PMs, there is still room for suspicion (regardless of whether it is warrented or not).
