[+] The winner is...

This means Bilgewater by Brown Bird is the runner up. They were submitted by Ruggahissy and received 90 points., including two 12’s, a 10, and two 8’s, and a public 12.


This means that Shiola has the right to host the next songtest. If they choose to abdicate the position, then Ruggahissy can host, and so on until someone agrees.

Thanks for stopping by my butcher shop, even though it's now burned to the ground. I think I'll just start a vegetable farm after all this meat insanity.

Have a good night!

A bit late, but here are the spreadsheets:
