I will be voting based on realism, taking into consideration how many tickets would be sold. As opposed to in Infinity Draft, where I vote based on how much talent I would see and how cohesive the vision of the festival feels.
The objective for this is to sell out Bonnaroo. That’s not gonna happen with a Primavera type lineup.
would just like to say all of this is pointless anyways bc me and nathan already have the win locked up
The Trash Talk has begun before you've even gotten a draft position. Now things are getting real dramatic.
you wanna talk dramatic? Nathan and I have generated a combined interest score for the first 300 picks of the last roo draft, based on our own personal opinion of each of the acts. we're Moneyballing this bitch.

Quality will also be considered but under genre parameters, instead of personal taste. Because if my personal taste had a say in it, then DFN type lineups would win for me.

So we're not really trying to book a good lineup.
jesus wtf. Yes you are trying to book a good lineup just not the bigger version of a Welcome To Rockville lineup that you personally desire to book.

A good lineup that sells 70K tickets to Bonnaroo’s current demographics

Like I said, not a good lineup.
In past bonnaroo drafts, Pepe and I would argue about the goal of the game, and it was generally unclear. Are we drafting the best possible fesitval lineup or should we try to draft a Bonnaroo lineup as if we were actually booking Bonnaroo? Here is Pepe's lineup from last time:
Great fucking lineup in my opinion. But when I'm playing this game with the stated mission of booking a Bonnaroo lineup, I often wondered if Pepe and I were playing the same game. I didn't believe Portishead, Deadmau5, MBV could move tickets at a farm in tennessee with no history of booking a lineup like this. I would expect any of those names to land at 4 or maybe Portishead would be a 3. Underworld wouldn't be 2nd on their day. The lineup seems like a drastic departure to where Bonnaroo would be completely unrecognizable. BBNG is closing the second largest stage before a headliner (Which).
But Pepe's response was that, "nobody's lineup is close to being realistic for Roo and we are just voting on the lineup we like the most." Which was a valid response. And he's also said he'd be interested in trying a draft with a more clearly stated goal where we are at least all aiming at the same vagueish concept.
That does not mean we are all booking dogshit lineups. It just means that we have a slightly more clear goal for the game. You can't use the move to just book no headliners to be able to grab all the best subs without paying any sort of price. I drafted Travis Scott in this same draft because I made the mistake of waiting to long to get my third headliner. I could have just had Sigur Ros headline in that game if I wanted to. In this game it could be argued that booking Sigur Ros as a headliner is an objectively bad move. Though having them play late night would be a great thing. You couldn't effectively make that argument, or any argument outside of personal preference, in past drafts.
The Coachella draft added this element of, "wait I like all these rock bands but you booked no electronic tent at coachella? I'm probably going to dock you for that even though I like the artists on your lineup."
I know you've played previous drafts, so I'm not sure why this needs to be explained to you. But maybe this will help for people that haven't participated previously.
As a side note, I actually wanted to do a iii Points draft where we all tried to book Pepe lineups, but that idea didn't come to fruition and here we are.

That Pepe lineup is fantastic but doesn’t resemble Bonnaroo at all

I understand what they want to do. I just want to make a great Bonnaroo lineup with only Bonnaroo bands, without having to book trash that I don't even listen to. I don't see why we never do one with Bonnaroo like we did with Coachella. I mean I'll still play along, just think it's kinda stupid. I'll work on making a master list for Bonnaroo if no one else wants to do it and we can play that game later. I've also always been in support of doing one where we choose specific sets.
