Survival Of The Fittest

GREETINGS, FEEBLE HUMANS. IT IS I, YUGI, YOUR NEWLY APPOINTED SKELETON KING, READY TO GRANT THE MASSES THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANOTHER SONG CONTEST.

[+] THE RULES, WHICH MUST BE FOLLOWED

• SUBMIT YOUR SONG VIA PERSONAL MESSAGE OR DIRECT MESSAGE, WHICHEVER METHOD IS MORE SUITABLE FOR YOU TO INTERACT WITH YOUR GLORIOUS RULER.
• SONGS WILL BE PLACED INTO EITHER TWO OR THREE SEMIFINALS, DEPENDING ON TURNOUT. IF YOU ARE UNDERGOING TYPICAL MORTAL DIFFICULTIES, TELL ME YOUR HEART'S CONTENT SO THAT I MAY SHOW MERCY UPON YOU IN TERMS OF SCHEDULING.
• IF YOU WISH TO VOTE, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO SO IN A SPECIFIC FORMAT, GIVING TWELVE POINTS TO YOUR FAVOURITE, TEN POINTS TO YOUR SECOND FAVOURITE, EIGHT POINTS TO YOUR THIRD, SEVEN FOR YOUR FOURTH, AND SO ON UNTIL THE NUMBER ONE IS YOUR TENTH FAVOURITE.
• IF YOU ARE IN A SPECIFIC ROUND, YOU MUST VOTE, LEST YOU FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF ME. IF YOU ARE NOT A PART OF THE ROUND, YOU MAY DO FAVOUR AND PUBLIC VOTE, WHICH IS HALF THE POINT VALUE OF A REGULAR VOTE.
• THE TOP [NUMBER] SONGS IN ANY GIVEN ROUND WILL PASS ON TO THE GRAND FINALE. THE REST WILL BE PURGED
• THE PROCESS WILL REPEAT IN THE GRAND FINALE, UNTIL I, YOUR GRAND RULER WINS AGAIN A WINNER IS DECIDED.
• THE WINNER OF A SONG CONTEST WILL HOST THE NEXT CONTEST. IF THEY DON'T, THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DOING SO WILL GO DOWN THE LINE OF TOP PLACEMENTS.

RULES FOR SUBMITTED SONGS.

• NO SONGS MAY BE SONGS THAT WERE PLAYED IN THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST.
• NO SONGS MAY BE COVERS FROM ANY SORT OF PUNY REALITY TV OR COMPETITION SHOW.
• NO SONGS MAY HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED DURING A PREVIOUS SONG CONTEST, MAIN OR INTERIM.
• YOU MAY SUBMIT SONGS OF ANY LENGTH OF TIME. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE PUNY AND FEEBLE, YOU MAY ONLY NEED TO LISTEN TO ANY SONG LONGER THAN SEVEN MINUTES FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME.

AND FOR THE THEME YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR:

WELL.

GIVEN THAT IT IS MY BIRTHDAY THIS WEEKEND…

AND GIVEN THAT TODAY WAS THE DAY OF MY INAUGURATION AS SONG CONTEST SKELETON KING…

AND GIVEN THAT I WASN'T ABLE TO ENTER THE SECRET SANTA SONGTEST...

HMM…

ALL SONGS MUST, IN SOME WAY, APPEAL TO YOUR GRACEFUL SKELETON OVERLORD, A LA HOW THE SUBMISSION PROCESS WORKED FOR THE SECRET SANTA SONGTEST.

A FEW NOTES:

• THERE IS NO ENDORSEMENT SYSTEM IN PLACE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I END UP NOT LIKING YOUR SONG, AND YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY SORT OF PUNISHMENT FOR DOING SO EXCEPT MY ETERNAL SCORN
• I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU SUBMIT SOMETHING YOU THINK I WILL LIKE, RATHER THAN SOMETHING YOU ALREADY KNOW I LIKE. WHILE YOU ARE FREE TO DO THE LATTER, I WOULD LIKE TO LISTEN TO NEW MUSIC THIS SONGTEST, IF POSSIBLE.
• NO STEAMING COCK JOKES. PLEASE.
• ADDITIONAL NOTES/RULES MAY BE ADDED AT MY OWN DISCRETION, ALTHOUGH WILL NOT BE ADDED PAST THE APPEARANCE OF THE FIRST SEMIFINAL.

A TIMER WILL APPEAR HERE SOON. IN THE MEANTIME, THOUGH.

I'm going to ask that people pause for a bit on the "submitting songs" front — I am currently retooling in response to feedback and odds are heavily in favour of this becoming an all-new contest with a clean slate for songs so I would suggest that people wait until the new OP goes up to submit anything further.
