SOTF Song Contest #130 — Return of the League of Song-Based Villains

[TheLordOfAwesome]

Greeting, members of the Survival of the Fittest Roleplay Forums. The League of Song-Based Villains has once more seized control over the operations of the Song Contest in search of a new member to join the ranks of our most heinous organization of song-based crime and world domination. For this purpose we shall layout the theme of this contest:

Villain Songs 2

That's right, the same theme as the last time when we took over, only with a two. The rule is the same as last time: Songs submitted must be ones that are from the perspective of a villain. Songs that are about a villain or are a theme of a villain will not be acceptable, but there shall be some wiggle room for the latter if it has lyrics that specifically meant to be from the perspective of said villain.

Do not fail us.

[+] Rules

No Eurovision Songs

No reality show/competition covers.

Please don't use anything we've used in a prior songtest (Master Songtest Sheet here).

There's no need to relentlessly slag songs in chat. This is for fun and we all have different tastes, which is part of the experience of participating in these.

Songs will be randomly divided into 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. if you're going to be away at some point in the next couple of weeks, let me know and I can try to put your song in a round when you'll be here.

Listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.

If your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points. If you're doing a public vote in chat, tag me in Discord with @burnitup so that I can find them.

Public votes will all count as half-votes.

The top songs will move on to the final; the number of top songs depends on the number of contestants. Repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.

The winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.

Each semifinal and the final will last for three days.

If you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those four days, let me know and I can move you to another semifinal, if we aren't on the final one already.

Contest will begin two days from now, signups will be open until then. You can send songs to me either by board PM or through Discord.
