I would be open to that.John Maddens Lunchbox said:
Unfortunately, no. It's mostly up to the dice. We decided to let the dice do the talking last draft, and it took until Round 43 to roll Eephus' category. Maybe this time it only takes until Round 35, or maybe it goes 50+.Do we have an idea of how many 'rounds' (2 picks out of 3 Genres) we are going to do? Will we always have 3 choices?
Working on the spreadsheet, nerding it up as high as possible.
I guess that after we pick the genres, you will determine the number of rounds before we start picking. That will allow me to have the spreadsheet all set up as we start picking.Unfortunately, no.

As far as how many choices it will be I am open to that, but I think we should decide that before going forward. I think 3 or 4. I was fine with the length last time, but I could see how it might get to be too much. Eephus suggested that doing 4 at a time would trim down on the risk of going 45+ rounds. (but maybe also increases the risk of some genres getting passed over more than last time too?)
I am open to whatever the majority thinks, so let's open that up for discussion today.
Just doing what we did last time with round two, but also open to cutting that if we don't need it and wanted to trim the rounds too.
Just meant that more for new drafters in case they didn't follow along with it. Last time we had grunge and trip hop, but we also had squeezebox and billboard hits, so just wanted to point out to not get too focused on your nomination just having to be a type of music.
Since this is really like a series of two round mini drafts, I mixed things up last time by periodically swapping the draft order. So the person drafting first in round 53 and last in 54 would have back to back picks at the 55/56 turn.
For me, the idea is to pick categories that will produce musically cohesive collaborative playlists. Most thematic "songs about..." categories don't meet that criteria.
We need to be a bit creative with 20+ categories and hopes of not repeating categories from last draft.
I think the bolded would be ideal for sure, but stuff like the Billboard mix was still a good listen as well (of course it leaned more towards an all pop list, I guess). Definitely agree on the 2nd part too - if you can't name a bunch of examples from your own category, you might want to think again.
I have no idea what the heck you guys are even discussing honestly. I have a feeling the concussions are finally catching up with me. I can't understand your rules.
It seems confusing, but it is easy.
After the nomination round, will you lay out the choices for the rest of the rounds or will you do that as we go?
Where is the part where we get the draft shut down for a week and then get it back up? (Too soon?
)

I guess my question is will all of the dice rolls be done at once, or as we move along?
I was going to do it fairly close to when the next rounds turn, just so we stay in the moment a bit and aren't looking ahead to what cool categories are going to be up for rounds 15 and 16 when we are starting the draft. I think the exception is if we are coming up on a weekend, I would make sure I post the genres for the weekend before I get distracted.
In GP1, I rolled at the far turn. This balanced out the order advantage of the early drafters.
So if we are starting with rounds 1 and 2 with rolls, you are saying you would post at the start of round 2 for the next set of genres?
I want same as last time, 3 at a time, draft from two of them, draft goes 72 rounds.
I'm sure I'll call out Joe again at some point during this draft after several beers but before posting italic lyrics. Or I should probably let it go so as not to get this one axed as well but that doesn't really sound like drunk me.
I should be able to do the spreadsheet most of the time. Might be a bit behind this weekend, folks will be in town.
If we have Mr. E on the spreadsheet and if you and I split up the spotify playlists, we should be able to keep up on this.
Just don't be like Acer and not say goodbye to them...I should be able to do the spreadsheet most of the time. Might be a bit behind this weekend, folks will be in town.
ETA: Although I'm sure Mom wouldn't care if I spent hours in front of the Mac. She'll understand.
