hello! Welcome back! Actually, I say welcome back, I've moved flat since the last time I hosted one of these things, and so it's much larger now, and I can probably actually fit 20+ people into here now! Hooray!
yes every songtest is hosted in the, err, host's house. that's the rule. I don't make them I just repost them.
Anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE 78TH SOTF SONGTEST
SONGS YOU LIKE FROM SHIT YOU HATE
wow thats literally just what it says in the title, but hey at least it looks fancy now!
Here's the rules for nerds that everybody knows by now but i'm dutifully reposting anyway. You're welcome!!!!!!
- [+] rule
- - Submit your song via PM or discord, whichever's easier for you
- 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.
- The top [x] songs will move on to the final. that number depends on the number of contestants.
- Repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.
- 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.
- I'm Pip!!!
General song rules:
- No eurovision songs
- No reality show/competition covers
- No songs already submitted in a songtest
- There is no penalty for length in this contest. however, if a song goes over 7 minutes, listeners aren't obligated to listen to more than the first 7 minutes of the song. so choose a long song at your own risk!
Each semifinal and the final will last for three days. some rules about activity/extensions:
- If you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those three days, let me know asap and I can move you to another semi, if we aren't on the final one already.
- I'll be posting every 24 hours in this topic as a reminder, as well as pinging everyone who hasn't voted on discord 24 hours before the round ends.
- Extensions will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. forgetting to vote until an hour before deadline is not an extenuating circumstance.
And now for the information about this songtest in particular! It's pretty simple honestly. Pick a song you really really enjoy, that originates from a media you absolutely cannot stand! Is there a band you despise with a passion, but you gotta admit, that
one song of theirs is pretty catchy? A video game that bored you to tears but at least had a pretty catchy credits theme? A film you wish you could scrub from your memory, if it wasn't for the soundtrack? Anything like that, it's all good, it all counts!
Signups will run until uhhhhhh, lets say Saturday evening! That's Saturday evening for Pips, and other British folk, Saturday ???? for everybody else!
