You have five minutes from when a pick was otc to trade the pick moving forward. This rule has a small bit of leniency (couple mins max because wifi sucks sometimes)
Anyone who advertises a trade, or if i become aware of trade nggotiations for a post selection trade that took place while the pick was otc for more than five minutes, the trade will be veto'd and both gms will have their next pick moved to the end of the next round.
Use the rule, don't abuse the rule, and otc pick trading is fine. The harsh rule is for GMs who draw negotiations out, as you are then clearly online. If you send me a screenshot of a trade offer sent before you were otc and you said accepted right when you came online, I will also accept that.
TLDR:
- 5 minutes, with small degree of leniency for OTC trading
- You can go over, if you accept a prediscussed deal immediately when online
- Prearranged trade agreement where a GM had a deal contingent on player X (original gm can just post the player to keep draft moving if other gm is offline along with a screenshot of BOTH GMS saying accepted)
- Advertising OTC negotiations after 5 minutes forfeits your pick until the end of the round
