In that case, you'd be better off advocating for pre-set rotational hosting. That way you'd eliminate people nomming whores just to win, everyone would get to host an even number of times, and anyone who didn't want to or couldn't host would just be skipped down to the next person on the list, and more importantly, people wouldn't be wasting their vote on a nom that isn't going to get any votes.
A communist song contest where everyone gets given the same amount of votes.
This is turning into a primary school where everyone gets a trophy.
Rotation means there is no competition.
What im implementing is more along the lines of the Stawell gift.

Well it won't be this year, we're looking like a bottom 4 team at the moment. #eco



I can't wait for General Soreness to give us some obscure theme like Finnish Death Metal or MWPP to give us a Bollywood theme, they will go down well.
Soreness has some excellent theme ideas.
MWPP would be more likely to go for Harry Potter than Bollywood.

A few themes I'd like to see:
Songs by native speakers of a language other than English.
Songs featuring a dulcimer.
Songs that change from one genre to another.
Songs with bizarre videos.
Guess I'll have to nom Grizzly bear and deal with a measly 2 votes again :p

I would love if MWPP threw Bollywood on us all :p
Honestly it’s not even on my radar of themes to pick
(I win so rarely , that I’d rather pick a theme that doesn’t disillusion people )

Besides - I prefer themes which lend themselves to diversity (not a fan of genre based themes , even if the genre is one I like )

This is the exact shakeup this contest needed. Bravo Wonka. [Wink] [smile]
You will be happy to hear BRAB that this is just one of a host of innovative improvements I have planned for this round.

I feel that it has become the domain of the handful of spreadsheet worshipping martinets of the self appointed 'song contest committee' and take my winning of this round with a nom that was obviously mine a clear mandate that the silent majority of posters here desperately want change.
For far too long these few tedious fuddy duddies have browbeaten down anyone wanting to inject a bit of difference, or god forbid fun into the contest.

That ends here.

This contest was a Bay creation built on the tenets of Lulz, Melts and Banging Tunes, but sadly it has become a parody of that with pedantry, pettyness and bookkeeping now being its only watchwords.

As anyone glancing at the OP will see the actual rules of the contest are very few indeed, and even these are so vauge as to be open liberal interpretation (which I will be doing and encourage all future hosts to as well).
I also implore everyone to join me in reinvigorating this tired old contest by sharing their fresh ideas so together we can bring about the change this contest is so sorely needing.
