And we have 16 mins till the next pick. This is why I think a commish should be able to make an auto pick without waiting.
the timed pick thing though... allows an otherwise busy/occupied GM, though, to come in a few mins before their pick is due — through a well-timed worktime bathroom break, closed door, etc.
Inconvenient for the entire group, but useful for the particular GMs --- since lists stink to make.
