Yeah man, tried this angle to no avail last go around. I wish you luck.
Eh, I think this is the fun part for me. If Tangerine Dream is off the table for example, it's fine, I'd try to draft something else. If I can't pick that 'something else', there are dozens of other acts I can think of.
I know this is a game and such, but all I care about is to curate the best I can, and create something I'd go. Even just thinking about it makes me happy.
So... as I told walakaFred, Tangerine Dream were on the ineligible list from the previous draft and carried over to this draft. At the beginning of this draft (literally page one) we were discussing acts that should be added and removed from the ineligible acts list. I don't remember anyone making an argument that they had tour dates and should be removed.
Why should we all of a sudden take them off the list now?
1. I cant seem to login on the website anymore since, on my laptop atleast, there is no button to login? I already mailed but I'm just post in it here, maybe someone can help quicker lol 2. Fuck you, Fred for picking Tangerine Dream haha, thought no one could come up with that pick damnit

What dictates (besides not playing for 3 years or saying they broke up) a band being ineligible? Just an argument before the game starts?

Edit: And I suspect that I have more females in my lineup than anyone, FWIW...
Again, this argument doesn't make sense at all. I think it could be the case nobody else cared enough to make an argument about it. I honestly asked (myself) that why they were on the list in the beginning.
And to answer your question: Because they are eligible according to the rule 1. They shouldn't have even been in the list to begin with. As the person who is in charge of this draft, I think you should've made sure that list is correct before just carrying it over to this draft.
If you feel uncomfortable with this pick, go ahead and challenge it. As our very clever Dad Dog reminded a bit ago, there are thousands of other acts that I can pick.

Everyone else had the ability to look at the ineligible list and address any concerns. At this point twenty rounds have gone by where others have passed on a number of acts that are on the the list. I don't give two craps about TD and was not going to draft them. I don't recall how they ended up on the list in the first draft and, no, I didn't research every act on the list to see if they had new tour dates since then.
Tangerine Dream is on the list because I asked the ref last time and her husband is OG tangerine Dream fam. At that point they may have had some dates but once I remembered homeboy died I moved on because it's a band with no original members. I then requested it go on the list.
If Fred wants a cover band that's fine, but just as an aside, Walaka asked to have blackstar removed in the middle and then later they were drafted. He didn't draft them and say jk guys their eligible.

I think that if anybody else cared enough, they would try to pick it no matter if they are on the list or not. It's not difficult to think of a band, then see if they give concerts and try to pick them. I thought of drafting them in round 20, saw they (or what's left of them) are active, and decided to pick them since they should be eligible according to the rules. And before posting it here, I even sent you a PM to tell you that they shouldn't be in the list. What's wrong with me being the first person to notice this in round 20? I really don't see the issue here.
If it's a really big deal, I will withdraw my pick (I dunno if that's something I can do) and replace it with something else. I'd rather not lose time with a poll.

I missed this point somehow, thanks for pointing out, maddog.
So we're gonna have double standards, cdevaney? Because with your reasoning, they shouldn't be eligible either.
Cdevaney doesn't make the rules. He has the same right to challenge picks as anyone else. If you're confident in your pick being eligible you shouldn't be worried about it

You're right. It was early in first round, not a likely first round selection (they were taken in round eight) and it was publicly requested several turns before he was on the clock.
No. None of them were ruled ineligible for twenty rounds of the draft before being chosen.
they were all still ineligible before they announced tours though,
I don't care either way it just seems like the same scenario to me.
Not really. There just needed to be reason to believe that they would be reuniting. Smashing Pumpkins' tour was rumoured since mid-January, for example.
And, again, they were not on the ineligible list in the OP. That's the biggest difference. We entered the draft agreeing that nobody would pick them. Nobody else did. Nobody questioned their eligibility. That's my objection.
