Desert Island Song Draft - Alphabet thievery afoot - Thievery abounds, XTC and Queen popular. Starting Round 25. Chaos coming (3 Viewers)

4.pik Arcade Fire - Tunnels
(The best song in history)

I was planning on grabbing this later.
Sniping Krista again. I hope this doesn't get sniped from me....
@Eephus

whoa!!!!!! so that makes 2 steals and means that @krista4 is safe from steals from now on??

right??

My plan worked even better than I'd hoped!

My strategy was to take some favorite artists that covered not necessarily the most difficult but more-difficult-than-average letters and that had fairly broad appeal. My hope was that two of them would get stolen fairly early so that I'd be safe and could then pick up whomever I want with no worries, plus steal a couple more that y'all sneak in there. And since they are all favorites anyway, if they didn't get stolen, then that would be great, too.

I didn't know you loved this song so much! I vow not to steal them back from you.

@otb_lifer is up

@Ilov80s on deck for 2 at the turn

@Eephus can go at anytime

 

[landrys hat]

It is my #1 All Time song. #2 is much tougher to say.

 

[otb_lifer]

... need some "Americana"

Bring Me The Head of Jerry Garcia - Iron Prostate



@Ilov80s are up

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

I think 80s just picks one tonight. Round 5 starts tomorrow.

we don't keep going?

 

[krista4]

We stop once everyone has made their 4th round pick.
We need to regather ourselves after this brazen act of theft.

5th round does not start until the next day, when its a free for all. First in, first served. One pick per day

@New Binky the Doormat

 

[zamboni]

Not until every Queen song has been stolen and re-picked.

 

[krista4]

Wait, I just realized I need to replace my stolen artist that replaced my stolen artist. I'll take:

Stevie Wonder - Superstition

 

[Ilov80s]

Rules seem to say I can only have 1 pick.

 

[PIK95]

I think 80s just picks one tonight. Round 5 starts tomorrow.

Yeah, we should do a few rounds like this @John Maddens Lunchbox This thing is MOVIN finally.

 

[PIK95]

Rules seem to say I can only have 1 pick.

Until Midnight apparently.

 

[Ilov80s]

4.17 DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love by Usher, featuring Pitbull

 

[krista4]

Rules seem to say I can only have 1 pick.

Until Midnight apparently.

Not necessarily. I think the free-for-all begins the day AFTER everyone gets a fourth-round pick in. I think we're still awaiting a couple of people for their fourth-rounders, so if they don't get them in today, we wouldn't start free-for-all yet.

I'm not really clear on the time zones for free-for-all, but I assume it starts when it turns midnight anywhere in the world...

And it may not matter in your case since you never sleep.

This was gonna be my question. I really never sleep.

In some other drafts when we transitioned from serpentine to pick a day, the people who owed picks just made them up when they could. We didn’t necessarily wait for everyone to catch up. (Not my draft though)

 

[Eephus]

4.Q - Queen Latifah - U.N.I.T.Y.

I'm taking this as a Q because that makes more sense than L. The Queen knows how to spell.

Warning: May contains saxophones

Yeah, but in this case the commish specifically set this up in advance to go to a pick a day and said that we would wait for everyone to get their fourth rounder before transitioning. He might make the determination to go ahead after all, but until then it seems prudent to wait IMO.

I just did a quick scan, and it appears that @Hov34 and @Northern Voice owe for the fourth. And @John Maddens Lunchbox has a replacement for having Queen stolen from him, which he could make immediately or wait until tomorrow, though I'm not sure if that replacement counts for "waiting" purposes.

Makes sense. I’m fine either way.

Me too! Maybe NV will be around shortly and make the question moot. Or JML might show up given the time zones.

Sniping Krista again. I hope this doesn't get sniped from me....
@Eephus

Pretty sure you are implying you are stealing this.
Would appreciate the word steal or borrow being used. I guess Snipe is ok. Just making 100% sure

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Unless I just totally don't understand the rules, I can steal something that has been stolen, yes?

If so my 3rd round will be:

I'm stealing Queen from the thief JML and changing the song to Another One Bites the Dust.

If I'm wrong, ignore my post and enjoy the bonus Queen song.

Oh joy lol
My replacement pick is Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence

According to my records, that also locks in Neil Young, Uncle Tupelo, and the Kinks on her list.

Yes. Krista is in the fortunate position of picking anything she wants, keeping what she has and has two steals up her sleeve....after round 4. Unparalleled power over the rest of us.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

I think 80s just picks one tonight. Round 5 starts tomorrow.

we don't keep going?

Yeah, we should do a few rounds like this @John Maddens Lunchbox This thing is MOVIN finally.

My admin skills aint what they used to be lol. Im hours away from being able to catch up the front page.
I guess if we are stuck at 17 picks a day, i can catch up. Today was a lot more than 17.

Who still owes a fourth rounder? I will check later, but for now?

Per Krista's post a little while ago, it should just be Northern Voice. Hov34 made his pick and you made your replacement pick.

Yes, I double-checked and that’s correct.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Ok. So just NV to go?
Just to be awkward the day starts when it turns midnight in Hawaii. 5 1/2 hours from now....unless NV picks before then.
Im not thinking clearly lol.

Lets just let NV pick and figure out which time zone I use, but yes 17 picks once i figure out which time zone im using and my brain starts working agaim

What time is it in Hawaii now?

 

[krista4]

It’s midnight Hawaii time!

Wasn’t clear if we could select, though.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Round 5 picks can be made.
We will use Mountain time as the start of a new day, because why not?

Northern Voice owes a 4th rounder
