I'll compile the tracks and post links below in random order. Players listen to the tracks and guess who picked which track. The aim of the game is to guess everyone else's tracks correctly. If you want to play, send me a private message with your two choices! Steve
softaire 17-Dec-18, 19:43	Cool idea. I'll try to find two that I like. Give me a little time!
softaire 17-Dec-18, 21:42	You've got two of my favorites.
romans8384 17-Dec-18, 21:44	I sent two as well. Two very different ones.
softaire 17-Dec-18, 21:50	No Hints... I want to identify you by your music!
romans8384 17-Dec-18, 21:54	You’re right; sorry about that. Wish we could have sent more than two.
softaire 18-Dec-18, 07:03	This won't be too hard if there are only three of us in it... I'm assuming OBS is in it too. What about everyone else?
mo-oneandmore 18-Dec-18, 07:32	No hints? I've already lost then.
obsteve 18-Dec-18, 17:53	We have 12 songs and 6 players so far! I'm posting them all together, mixed up order, on Friday. There's a really wide range in the mix already, and they're all great, but I'd love to hear some more! If you haven't already, and you'd like to add your two to the playlist, please send me a private message letting me know song title and artist. PM me before Friday! Go on! Steve
obsteve 21-Dec-18, 14:00	LET'S GO! 10 contributors have sent me 2 Christmas tracks each. I've mixed them up and the game is now open!

softaire 21-Dec-18, 23:22	To All... I am quite happy to see so many playing this fun game. I extent the invitation to any/all Non-Members of the club to apply (all will be accepted) so that you can post your guesses. (and you may even hang around afterwards to post comments if you like) It would be a shame for some of you to miss out on OBS's great mystery prize simply because you didn't post a guess.
softaire 22-Dec-18, 00:12	This was hard. I have heard that your first gut reaction is the most correct so I listened and "felt" who the tunes belonged to. It will be fun to find out how out of synch my gut is with reality. No offense to anyone... blame my bad picks on my bad gut! ********************************************************************** Antinephilehi: 5, 13 Apatzer: 4, 15 Brigade Commander: 14, 16 Easy-Win: 1, 17 Lord Shiva: 2, 19 Mo-One: 10, 11 Obsteve: 3, 6 Romans: 7, 18 Softaire: 8, 12 Zorroloco: 9, 20
obsteve 22-Dec-18, 01:58	Stal I'm so sorry mate, I can only blame my late night Friday brain for missing your name off the list...! Please find two songs and a further contributor below.

softaire 03-Jan-19, 12:10	The best guesser was winner with FIVE? (and he already knew 2 for sure) So, he actually guessed only 3 of 18? Or, maybe only 3 of 20? Wow... we are pathetic guessers. That's gotta be worse than "random". Yikes! But fun none-the-less.
apatzer 03-Jan-19, 20:37	It was fun. I tried to figure where people lived and how old they were to generate a feel for what they would pick. The possible combinations make the odds of guessing quite hard. So I think we all did really well!
