Desert Island Song Draft - Alphabet thievery afoot - Thievery abounds, XTC and Queen popular. Starting Round 25. Chaos coming (2 Viewers)

John Maddens Lunchbox

Socialism for Dummies
Sick of music drafts where you get your pick sniped? Now you can get your revenge.
STEALING.

We are to be stranded on our Desert Islands with only enough resources to power 20-26 songs and the dang music player only accepts one artist per one letter of the alphabet. Good thing we have a speed boat with enough fuel to make 2 trips to steal a song from another island.

BINKY APPROVED REAL SIMPLE VERSION
Draft songs

SIMPLE VERSION
Pick an artist and a song of theirs you would like
Use as many letters of the alphabet for your artist choice as possible, 20, 22, 24 or 26
One letter for an artist per drafter.
Once an artist is drafted, they are off the board
You can steal someone elses choice. 2 steals per drafter
You can only have 2 stolen from you.
First 4 rounds are in draft order. Subsequent rounds, one per day at anytime.

THE FULL VERSION

We draft 20, 22, 24 or 26 songs (to be determined by you). The artist can only be chosen once.
Each letter of the alphabet can only be used once per drafter.

The Strokes will be an S
A Certain Circle, will be a C
An Omelette will be an O
Neil Young will be a Y
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young will be a C

Artists starting with a foreign letters eg unlauts, esszets etc will be associated to their nearest english language equivalent and i will make the call. Symbols like Prince’s thing will be a P, the Artist formerly known as Prince will be a P
Generally whatever name a song was released under, will get that letter, regardless of what the artists name was before or after this song. Not a contradiction.

I will be the final arbiter of any slotting.

If all the artists you can think of starting with eg the letter X are gone, you can either steal someones X pick or abandon the letter and drop to 24 picks.
20, 22 or 24 picks allows for logjams at certain letters like Q, X, Y and Z. You can punt the letter P if you want, your choice.

Heres the kicker. Everyone is allowed a maximum of two steals only. If someone steals a song you stole, too bad. Theoretically one song could be stolen by all drafters twice for the whole draft.

Any drafter can only be stolen from twice****Unless.....

BTW Stealing is not compulsory, but if someone steals from you, you need to replace your pick and not get cranky lol

An Example
If someone takes Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody with the first pick, Queen is off the board. Queen and David Bowie are still eligible, so is Freddie Mercury, Brian May solo stuff etc. If the second drafter decides to use their pick to steal Queen off the first drafter, so be it. They can change the song as well after stealing. The artist is now theirs to do with what they like.

If you have a song stolen from you, you can make a replacement pick immediately with the same or a different letter. Or wait until your next pick to make 2 selections.

****Unless
Heres the next kicker. If someone uses all 26 letters, they will be given a free steal, but only of the artist, not the song already chosen. The original drafter, keeps their artist and song. They must have 26 unique artists to date and will get a 27th song from an artist already chosen

Once someone drops out at 20, 22 or 24 selections, their picks are locked and loaded and cannot be stolen from. If you want to do a late steal and someone steps off, tough. You missed your chance. If anyone drops out or steps off before their 20th pick, all their pocks are open.

There will be strategy in stealing determined by you. Use your 2 steals early and you may get frustrated when later picks are more tempting than the ones you stole that may have subsequently been stolen by someone else. Leave your steals too late and someone could lock and load their picks with a 20th round exit.

The first 4 rounds will have no clock and will be chosen in order. People are welcome to PM their picks to another drafter if they dont want to hold things up. From round 5 onwards, one pick a day at any time. First in, first served. If you fall behind you cannot steal with an old round pick, but can steal with the current round.

Do I have every scenario covered? Probably not. Unanticipated events, can and will probably occur. As usual, we will adapt on the run.

In although still unclear about the stealing part
If you like an artist someone else took, use your current rounds pick to steal them away.
Just hope no one steals it back off of you. You can even change the song once you steal

Only 2 steals allowed for each drafter. You are only allowed to be stolen from twice to prevent gang attacks
 
A simpler way to look at this
Draft songs using the alphabet for artists, one letter per drafter
Eg AC/DC, Blur, Chicago, Dead or Alive etc

Once the artist is gone, they are unavailable for anyone else...except blah blah blah

Get as many letters as you can, 20 should be the minimum.

If eg you really want an X artist and cant think of any, you can steal someones elses pick starting with an X.
Or just steal an artist cause you want them on your Island
 
Thought out loud. Is it easier to restrict a steal?
Eg if I steal Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody, i can keep it ie no artist can be stolen more than once?

Is that easier than the same artist potentially going from drafter to drafter?
 
so ...

* an artist can be stolen any number of times across all drafters (just that each drafter can only perform 2 steals)

* can you steal an artist back if stolen from you?

The usual rule in gift drafts like this is that no one can be stolen from more than twice.
 
I’m in.

So are we filling up the alphabet with the artist name or the song title?
Artist
Then why take multiple songs from the artist? Is it just for steals?

Not sure if serious? You can’t take multiple songs from an artist.
I must have misread the instructions. I thought there was mention of taking multiple songs from an artist.
You're not Clara Peller; You're Binky!
 
so ...

* an artist can be stolen any number of times across all drafters (just that each drafter can only perform 2 steals)

* can you steal an artist back if stolen from you?
Yes. You can use your two steals to get the same artist back. Two steals is all you are allowed though.
Once you are stolen from twice, you are safe with your picks.
I'm even more confused now but vote for more chaos
Yeah im pretty sure there may be some mixups, chaos and unforeseen hilarity

Gift drafts? I guess there are no new ideas anymore.
Didnt even know about that, and twice in them too? Might change that out of pure spite.
I think maybe someone braver than me can experiment with this format if it works....if it works.
 
The plan is to the draft order on thursday/friday
Start then, but essentially no clock on the weekend.
During first round If someone is away or not checking in they may get moved to the back of the draft to build some momentum.
Im pretty patient these days, so no hurry.

Draft order is only important for first 4 rounds anyway
Round 5 onwards are one per day, first in, first served
 
I cannot emphasise how important strategy is in stealing.

Peoples picks are safe in 2 scenarios
1) They step off voluntarily after rounds 20 onwards
2) The drafter has had two artists stolen from them already.

I can think of many cunning and conniving ways to play this, but will be interested to see how many others are as devious as me,
 
thanks for your answer @John Maddens Lunchbox - just to clarify - it focused on the limit of 2 steals each of us has - so it implies that an artist can be traded an unlimited amount of times across a bunch of people ...right?

'scuse me for stepping in while JML is probably asleep, but he and I discussed this draft a bit before he posted, so I think I'm up on the rules. Yes, an artist could theoretically be stolen a near-unlimited number of times, basically 2x the number of drafters.

Each drafter can steal twice.
Each drafter can only be stolen from twice.
Each artist can be stolen any number of times, as long as the first two rules are abided.
