You're stuck on a desert island all by yourself for the remainder of your days. You have a water cooler, unlimited supply of food, and a solar powered MP3/CD/Record Player/8-Track. What albums do you bring?
Design: Upon deciding the draft order, each poster will select an album that they want for their island (e.g., I have the number one pick, and I choose Spice by the Spice Girls. I would then write a brief reason why I chose that album at 1.01. Even something as simple as "Wannabe was the underrated hit of the mid-90s, and it changed my life" would be acceptable. Then the poster at pick 1.02 would pick their album, so on and so forth.
After the completion of all 20 rounds, a series of polls will be set up with the posters and their "collections," and KF.com will vote on the best collection. Winners will be advanced every week, playoff-style, until we get to the Finals. Finals winner will get bragging rights and a nifty trophy icon.
VF21 is the commissioner and arbiter of any contention regarding the draft. Rules are:
- 20 Rounds (Serpentine). (Extended to 25)
- PM the person after you when their pick is up.
- You cannot choose: Re-Released Albums, Greatest Hits, Boxed Sets, Compilations (Tributes, Movie Soundtracks, Mixtapes), Bootlegs.
- THIS IS A MUSIC ONLY DRAFT! Comedy/spoken word/etc. not accepted.
- All else is fair game. Note: Original movie score soundtracks (e.g. Star Wars) are okay, soundtracks (e.g. Above the Rim, The Crow) are not. Note2: Live albums are permissable, provided they were recorded at one time with no additional material added. (Concert in one city, good. Selections from concerts in mutiple cities, not good.)
- 24 hour deadline between picks. After 24 hours, the pick advances to the next person. The person whose pick was skipped may still make their pick until the end of the round, but they will no longer have priority.
- If the pick gets back to you before you make your pick from the previous round, you forfeit your pick from the round you missed.
- You can also PM your pick to somebody else and have them post for you if you know you'll be gone.
- Winner will be determined by a board wide vote.
