I haven't played this game in a while and I think I may have only done it once or twice, but it's super fun. I'm not sure if you've done this before.
☆ I'll have sign-ups open for a good period of time.
☆ An "/in" is sufficient enough.
☆ Once everyone signs up, I'll use dice to determine the order. (The sides of the dice will vary based on the number of entrants)
Playing:
☆ Now that we have our order, we'll go down the list five times - Vocalist, Guitarist, Bassist, Drummer, Additional Instrument (Keyboard Player, Violinist, Triangle Player, etc.)
☆ Each player will choose one real life person to fill the role to act as that band member. They can be living or dead, and we'll just take them for who they were in their prime within that band.
☆ The order is reversed every other band player in a snake-like pattern to optimize efficiency (Band Member 1: A, B, C. Band Member 2: C, B, A. Band Member 3: A, B, C. Etc.). This also helps with fairness.
☆ Once that person is chosen, they can't be chosen again - not in that role and not in another role. (Ex: If Mongo chooses Dave Grohl as a drummer from his Nirvana days, DT can't choose him as a vocalist based on Foo Fighters.)
☆ You have forty-eight hours to choose a band member when it's your turn. Past that and it moves onto the next one in line.
☆ If you have more than one band member skipped due to missing your turn, your band is eliminated.
☆ After we all have our bands, we'll give the band a name and then we move onto voting.
Voting:
☆ I'll create a Google Forms to anyone who wants to enter and so that people can rank their top five bands.
☆ #1 spots will get five points, #2 - four points, #3 - three points, #4 - four points, and #5 will get one point.

Example of how this game would be run:
Player List:
- Copycat (Rolled a 6)
- Lord Dominicus (Rolled a 4)
- Shogun-Tron (Rolled a 1)
Vocalist:
CC decided on Freddy Mercury (Queen)
LD decided on James Hetfield (Metallica)
ST decided on Michael Jackson (Michael Jackson)
Guitarist:
CC decided on Slash (Guns N Roses)
LD decided on Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
ST decided on Eric Clapton (Eric Clapton)
Bassist:
CC decided on Les Claypool (Primus)
LD decided on Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
ST decided on Cliff Williams (ACDC)
Drummer:
CC decided on Neil Pert (Rush)
LD decided on Phil Collins (Genesis)
ST decided on Ringo Starr (The Beatles)
Name:
CC decided on The Copy Cool Cats
LD decided on THE WORLD DOMINATORS!!!
ST decided on The Past, Present, and... FUTURE!
Bands:
The Copy Cool Cats (Band Manager: Copycat) - Vocalist: Freddy Mercury - Guitarist: Slash - Bassist: Les Claypool - Drummer: Neil Pert
THE WORLD DOMINATORS!!! (Band Manager: Lord Dominicus) - Vocalist: James Hetfield - Guitarist: Jimmy Page - Bassist: Flea - Drummer: Phil Collins
The Past, Present, and... FUTURE! (Band Manager: Shogun-Tron) - Vocalist: Michael Jackson - Guitarist: Eric Clapton - Bassist: Cliff Williams - Drummer: Ringo Starr
Then people vote. But as a final tip, think about band cohesion. Copycat's band seems to fit into a more similar vibe than Shogun-Tron's.
