Survival Of The Fittest

Hello! It's me, Pip! Rugga and Prim have graciously handed the reigns of Songtest Number 51 over to me, allowing me to be Queen of All Songs for now! Wow! So without further ado...

First up, the ever-present rules, of which I'm sure you are all intimately familiar with;

[+] The Definitely-Not-Copy-Pasted Rules

- Send in your songs via board PM or Discord

- Songs will be divided into 1-3 semifinals, probably 2, if you can't be here for the first semifinal please contact me and I will put your song in the next round!

- Listen to every song in your round and give them votes, 12 for your favourite, 10 for your next favourite, then 8 for the third, 7 for the fourth, and so until you give 1 point to your tenth favourite. Not voting will result in your song getting DQ'd! Rounds last for 3 or more days.

- You can still vote if you're not in a round, as a public vote, which counts for half the points.

- The top songs move onto the finals, with the number depending on the number of songs in a round.

- Repeat the voting process with the finals, and that's how we'll determine the ultimate winner of the tournament arc.

- Submit your songs before the first round starts, not gonna let people jump in after the first round starts, etc.

- Whoever gets the most points will get to host the next contest. If they pass, it goes to second place, then third, and so on.

- Bullying Pip is evidently not against the rules, but it WILL make me SAD

- General songtest rules:
- Nothing from Eurovision, no reality show covers (other covers are fine), nothing that has been submitted before. If your song is over ten minutes people only have to listen to the first ten minutes.
- Please be nice in chat.

I'll be doing my own votes before the round starts. I'll be giving reminders about every day whenever I remember. Extensions are probably not a thing unless you suffer severe RL stuff, like health issues, or being swamped with work and only getting a chance to listen an hour or so before deadline. Or being taken away into the forest by the fair folk. Any of the above.

I reserve the right to add anything blazingly obvious that I forgot.

As for the actual theme itself, it's going to be based around tarot cards! I'm hoping this to be nice and simple and open-ended; pick a song in any genre, by any artist, from any era of music, just so long as it relates in some way, shape or form to a tarot card! With that in mind, a few guidelines for this contest in particular.

- When picking a song, it can either be simply a song about the sun, an emperor, lovers, a tower, etc. or it can be a song that encompasses the themes and associations related to a card! Go hogwild, just so long as you can justify it to me!

- To that end, when submitting a song to me, please also add which card your song is attached to! In-depth reasoning is not mandatory, but it is nice and appreciated~

- I'm gonna open the floor to both the major arcana and the minor arcana, so if you have a desperate, burning desire to submit a song about a bunch of cups, you finally have your chance

- uh i thought i had more guidelines here but apparently not???

And that's about it! Signups will be open for the next three or so days, give or take, but may end sooner, depending on Circumstances. Please send all submissions to me via Discord, board PM, or snail mail directly to my flat, whichever suits you best! If you'd rather be in semi-final 2, also lemme know in your message. And most importantly, have fun! Or else.
