I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah i don’t want to piss anyone off. If you let me in I’ll wait until you are all done picking teams then i will pick mine. This way i don’t take something that one of you were waiting to pick in a later round

How about we put you at the beginning to give everyone ample time to prepare? Then you can get caught up when the snake comes back around.
Sure, whatever everyone is comfortable with. Just let me know when to pick something. I have five picks ready to go, but will pick one at a time unless you tell me otherwise.
