Huh. I'm back again. Well, it's cool to finally win one at last. Now, on to business...
Welcome to the 24th SOTF Song Contest.
FIGHT!
That's right, this time around we're doing Fight Songs. This is something of a music fight. We're fighting with music, with music about fighting. Songs for rough and tumble brawls, gruesome bloodsport, gunfights, hand-to-hand combat, or any other forms of violent confrontation one might want to play a tune for.
Is your fight music hectic and loud, or intimate and brutal? Do you prefer your clashes set to bombastic overtures, or ironic bops? Let's find out!
I decided on this theme as it's been a running topic in chat as well as a longstanding topic of discussion through SOTF. Naturally many of us have somewhat cinematic takes on fight scenes that exist within our own work, and the kinds of songs that might play in the background of them. As well, I find music can make or break fight scenes that I see in film and television, easily turning what might look like a basic confrontation into a crowning moment of awesome for one or several characters.

1. Songs may be anything you'd like to set to a fight scene, or that might be good music to fight to. They do not have to be about fighting, or anything in particular.
2. No Eurovision Covers - regular covers are fine though.
3. No reality show/competition covers.
4. Please don't use anything we've used in a prior songtest (Master Songtest Sheet here).
5. Gonna go ahead and steal Cactus' rule here and say that while criticism's fine, 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 @Shiola 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.
Signups will run until 30 people, or the timer runs out. Let's do this... I mean, uhh...
