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

[The Speaker]

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.

What if I want to nominate 10 songs? Does that still make it ridiculous?

If you want a narrowly defined song contest, then put together the precedents we've established over the years into writing and add them to the rules, in a separate section if need be. That way you don't have this happen again, rather than every time a host breaks the mould people throw their hands up in the air because they want tradition.

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

I've been a moderator on forums before, I know how it works.

Honestly would be a pretty cool side event if we all submitted a song for each other contestant and we all got a playlist from it, just not as an actual round.

Power corrupts.Unpaid lofty positions of power allow an easy access of corruption.
Its hard to be a lone shrimp swimming in an ocean of lusty predators.

It's not to do with breaking tradition and doing a round outside of the box, it'e the ridiculousness of the 10 songs and the Tuesday deadline.

I agree with this, but it sounds like people aren't even taking it seriously anyway lol

Those are not mutually exclusive, and that wasn't the main thrust of what I was saying.

100% was planning on nomming songs that each person would Billy.

 

[William Wonka]

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

Im afraid not.

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

Multiple billies/split billies happened long before me.

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

It's absolutely him.

Who are they?

 

[ChappyUK]

Who the fu** is Tornado Wallace?

Cyclone Wallace's brother.

 

[ChappyUK]

Well said Bombers.

 

[ChappyUK]

You are absolutely correct, I was just bagging techno

You won't be when the young lad is a jetsetting DJ.

 

[Noobz0r]

Who are they?

I was told in confidence.

 

[William Wonka]

It's good in theory until it's put into practice. It would be a fun game in the SFA Club Room where we can all create playlists for each other but I can't see how it would work as a SC round. Nathan might have something in mind but I can see this ending not the way it was originally planned.

 

[_Rake_]

I was told in confidence.

Fair enough.

 

[Hoos]

Cyclone Wallace's brother.

Ah, yes. Of course it is. Stupid question.

Carry on.

 

[SM]

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

Oh you don't mean the Matchbox 20 album. Dislike.

 

[Hoos]

Oh you don't mean the Matchbox 20 album. Dislike.

Ugh. How dare you.

I was planning on nomming an Evermore song for each person.

 

[Loonerty]

Quick draw on the thread rollover there

 

[ChappyUK]

Might be before your time.
