I'm still in favor of my suggestion of a 13-minute clock only active during sleepy-time hours.

ETA: for anyone who can't understand humor, which seems like many people, I am not serious about this.

WTF is going on here?  Do I need to draft Muskrat Love?

I'm in.  I'm still not touching the spreadsheet.

I saw Pip's had reacted to one of my posts and quoted a post. I clicked on the notifications and got a message saying I did not have permission to view the thread. I thought NV had locked down the thread to draft members only. It seems he did far worse than that.

 

[Captain Cranks]

Draft virgin here.  Is this how these normally unfold?

Nope.  This is new.  Maybe it's the surprise Bird Box format.

I picked last night - but can re-post in a bit.

I think we can only pick Canadian acts now in honor of our dead homie @Northern Voice.

This one just got off to a bad start for two major reasons.

 

[zamboni]

so @Northern Voice killed the thread?

Imagine how the course of MTV would have changed if the Buggles used this alternative title.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Let me see if I can see anything.

Round 11

To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High) - Ryan Adams

Appropriately enough this song starts with an argument over Morrissey.

 

[rockaction]

I think I'm out of this whole exercise. That thread was making me sick to read because people I consider iFriends were fighting like cats and dogs, but this makes me sicker. What a disappointment and I'm not sure what NV was thinking when getting rid of the thread -- if that's what happened, even. Threads have been nuked for less. I have a hard time believing he did because I get that he was upset, but there were thirty other people participating. I'm hoping he didn't, but it looks like he dissolved it. That's a shame.

It's 4:00 where I'm at and I just woke up. This makes me unhappy, as did the thread. Peace.

@landrys hatis up with no clock until the usual time in the morning

@Eephuson deck

Is it too early to start talking about the upcoming weekend’s clock?

No. We should get ahead of it. This is not just any old weekend. It's Thanksgiving and that could further distress our troubled draft. Like some of you I am loving this draft. I have 25-30 more songs I'd like to add. Just 20 rounds will be a disappointment but oddly an achievement considering. 

Experience with tons of these but far less than some of you has proved that for weekends a pick a day is the best option. The 2nd best has just been pausing until Monday.

Keeping a clock on the first few weekends has been a necessary evil to keep the fairness of the order because that's when we snipe the Beatles and the Stones and and and.

After a point running smoothly becomes better than keeping the order because the snipe issue is minimized. Not gone. I know. But those deeper snipes are always kind of fun anyway. Plenty of options for all of us.

So Thursday pick one (and any makeups you have) when convenient or not. Friday the same, but if you missed Thursday you can take 2. Saturday the same, but if you missed one prior day, you can take 2. If you missed both Thursday and Friday, you can take 3. Sunday the same, but... you get the picture. Monday we'll figure out who's up and go back to a 1 hour clock to the next weekend. Today we'll start the clock per usual.

I'm not giving orders like Krista would. This is my strong suggestion. I feel as if I KNOW it's the best way through this coming weekend, but will defer to whatever else suggested and preferred.

I travel Wednesday through Sunday maybe Monday. Lake Tahoe again. No problem picking once a day, but no interest in watching our draft and a clock.

Well that sucks - I was finally going to have time to read/listen this week with the holiday slowness at work.

Joe unlocked it, AAA.

thanks and I won’t ask this in there but what was the fighting about - the draft itself or did something like politics or religion pop up?  I’ve done several of those and that had never happened before.  Tim getting a TO, sure - but no real drama.

It didn't seem that bad to me.  Did I miss something?
