Perhaps you should put a time limit on picks - a la NFL draft style (but say 6 hours during the week, 10 hours on weekend). If a person shows up late, they can pick at that time, but at least it has a chance to keep the thing moving. If J pold is on a midweek bender*, who knows when he might show back up.
*disclaimer - I don't know J pold, nor am I making any claims on his abilities as a booze hound
