if you guys dont like the rules you shouldnt have written them as such.
What you're doing would be against the rules if the clock was running. We started it to get things rolling early.
I didn't expect someone to negotiate a trade for double-digit hours. You're time would've been up at 8:18PM EST last night. If you can't see why people are annoyed, then Puck has a bridge to sell you.
Technically, what's happening isn't against the rules because the clock hasn't started. But I don't have issues with people complaining about it.
