The only thing I care about is that I was knocked out -nay, annihilated- by Queen. The shame! I'd jump off a cliff, but with my luck I'd miss the ground. |

Everyone, please vote. I mean it. Especially those of you who've been a part of the game. We're looking at 10ish people voting in each group, which is a bit rubbish when we started with 30+ players. And of course, everyone else can vote too! |

What Pundy and Zardoz said. All three rounds are very close, get your votes in. I'll close this at midnight, so a little more time for voting there. |

I'm voting the way i've voted throughout, only for songs I like. I don't think I voted for more than 3 songs in any round, so there's no reason why that should increase now. |

I voted on the one(s) I liked best out of the submitted songs. Like everyone else I presume. |

The votes are counted, and your finalists are Malc, Curiosity, Mr Russell, and Bluecup (because of a tie). However, I'm still missing some songs - and knocking out finalists at this stage for no-shows would be super-lame, so I'm allowing an extra 24 hours. Get it done, you lazy arses! |

Hah! Having got to the final with some unashamedly popular songs in the knockout rounds, I think I'll pick something less well known for the final (and will inevitably lose). |

Or you could just pick another song by Queen and win by a landsl(Now now now young man! I'm Officer Migginsley of the Bad Loser Police. Any more nonsense like that and you'll be accompanying me to the station!) |

BAM! There it is folks! Your winner, after 11 weeks of voting is.....Malc and Bluecup! It's a tie! Congrats to those two, and thanks to everyone for taking part. Special awards: Storming performance in the preliminaries, then belmed it all up by forgetting to enter a round 10 song: Grim... Managed to submit a song in a grand total of 2 out of 8 preliminary rounds: WTB Thanks everyone! |

Thanks for hosting, Craster. However, I'm glad i didn't win when The Final Fucking Countdown is the winning song. There's some real music-related issues going on here. You should all be ashamed.

To be fair, I doubt it would've won if Craster hadn't belmed it up earlier in the week and called it a draw. |

Constructive Criticism: could have done with a day or so gap between the knockout rounds, its just a bit odd otherwise. Oh, and I think it'd be better to have each person in a group pick a theme for a round, so that everyone gets a go, and no-one ends up picking loads, as I'm guessing that gets a little old. |
|
| Author: | Cras [ Fri Oct 28, 2011 19:21 ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Song Wars II |
I did make a point of rotating who chose the themes, as you're right getting the same person to do it each week would have been dull in cases. Probably right about the knockouts - having people submit a song even if they didn't know they'd gone through was a little strange. I think it went on too long. 11 weeks is a long time, and I think the voting towards the end showed that fatigue was setting in. It's definitely going to be a good idea to automate it in future - hunting through PMs for youtube links and building them into threads is tedious, and I think it could be automated pretty easily.
