Song Contest Part XVI, Host: The Filth Wizard, Theme: How Do I Title This?, Votes Due: Sunday 10pm AEST

[William Wonka]

Which is a complete deviation from the structure. Yes hosts have the right to pick themes but come on... be reasonable about it. How in the hell will the results release go?! It'll all be based on completely different songs which is just weird! You don't get a song winning, but you get a nommer winning? What in the hell.

Wont someone think of the spreadsheet!!!!

 

[Hoos]

FFS it's not Wood.
Hoos said so, move on.

 

[Loonerty]

There is only speculation. If he's a banned poster, his alias will be banned in due course. As it stands right now, he isn't.

It's not speculation.

 

[William Wonka]

It's not speculation.

Correct.
His account is not suspended.

We've had weird rounds before which have deviated from 'the structure'. It happens every 40 rounds or so. What defines a deviation from the structure that is 'too far', if it doesn't actually break any rules?

Social distancing is not the time to be drawing out SC rounds.

Selfish, Josh Nathan.

At least with the Secret Santa rounds, you only had to nominate ONE song, even if you were given a theme to nom by. There was still a normal 20-30 song playlist. Even the rounds where Harvey added three fake ones lol... it was still a normal playlist.

Use common sense in my opinion.

 

[HahnPremium]

Fake is an evil genius.
Transmitted virus thru 5g.
Then. Infected the interned minds looking for distractions in their own abodes.

I fear him. But I admire him.

It is speculation. You think you could go into a court of law on the evidence presented and be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that not only is he an alias of another poster, but of a specific banned poster? Not a chance. There is circumstantial evidence of middling strength, and two testimonies that doubt the accusation.

 

[Hoos]

**** it, I'll just nominate half of Exile On Main St.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

You will be happy to know Im doing a redux of this for my next round or if people want something more traditional a redux of Midnight Oil tunes

There are posters who have confirmed it with Nathan Fake, who are just acting along to cause confusion.

It's absolutely him.

Lucky we're on a football forum.

We've had rounds that have had users nominate more than one song before.

Nomming 10 different songs, splitting the contestants up into pools etc.

The only time a theme has deviated from the structure is a Wonka round where multiple billies and your 15 votes can be allocated to however you want. It was still one nom per contestant, and even that round has an asterisk. We've had some double-nom themes (same title, different song and album openers) but no more than that, and they only had a minor tweak to them. 10 songs is ridiculous, surely you can agree there? This theme is like getting The Long and Winding Road (originally a mellow, laid-back tune) and producing the shit out of it by adding an orchestra and backing choir that wasn't needed.

The evidence you can see is not the evidence everyone can see.

I'm telling you - it's not speculation.

I'm actually participating because I'm pretty sure I'd just get an entire Midnight Oil mixtape out of it.

 

[Hoos]

Can you do a round of Midnight Oil songs that were covered by other acts?

There's no asterisk over my Minecraft parody win, no doubt it would've won even with a conventional voting system.

There's also been at least one Eurovision style round.

But this would clearly be the biggest deviation.

 

[Noobz0r]

t.A.T.u. round imo

The mods can see IP addresses of banned posters and match them to aliases. Put 2 and 2 together...

As you know very well ND im a firm upholder of the sites rules.
If a poster is in red I would never accept them playing, conversely if they are in black I must believe they are a legitimate and valued member of the forum.

I forgot about that, but even then, the only tweak was the voting system, everything else was still the same.
