Survival Of The Fittest

Hi guys!!!! It's me again, everyone's 3rd favourite Pippi (after, of course, Longstockings and the Mother 1 character)! Gosh, it feels like it's only been one month and 2 days since I last ran one of these, how crazy! Anyway, there's no time like the present, so without further ado, your theme is...........

i'm very amused that the eastenders credits screen was one of the first google results i found when searching 'the credits', if you submit the eastenders theme you probably will not win the competition but you WILL win my respect and admiration

Anyway! Lets get your very favourite thing, The Rules, done and out of the way!

[+] Da Rulez

- 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 still 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.

This is a pretty simple theme, really! This contest is all about credits themes; opening credits, closing credits, midway credits if those are a thing, so long as its a song played over a list of the cast and crew of A Thing, then it's a-okay for submission! I'm also not gonna limit this to just themes MADE for the credits; if there's a pre-existing song you love that was used for the credits of your favourite movie, then by all means, send that on over!

Signups will last for three (3) days, so that's Wednesday for all ny'all! Send your songs to me via Discord or via Board PM, I'm fine with either! And most importantly... good luck, and have fun!

a songtest where i have too many choices

yes

okay uhhhhhh its late and i'm SLEEBY so lets get this show on the road with no gimmicks, chop chop!

Your cast and crew for today's episode is....



And without further ado, the music.....



There'll be two (2) eliminations from this round, giving us a grand final of 14 songs (again, that seems to be my thing??? i like the number 14 i guess)! Deadline will be aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat 7:30PM EST, SATURDAY 22ND MAY!!!

Now let the show.... begin!

Just a quick heads up - at the submitter's request, the video for Sing My Pleasure has been changed to showcase the OP animation!

Little belated results - my excuse is that I'm STILL sleepy! I think everyone can agree that this is an incredibly valid excuse.

Anyway, here are the songs eliminated at this stage:

[+] Dies in the first episode

9th Place: Off To Sleep, by Cour de pirate, submitted by RiceKrisp. It received 42 points, including three 8s.
8th Place: Simple and Clean, by Hikaru Utada, submitted by Skraal. It received 43 points, including one 12.

And here are the songs moving onwards!

[+] Makes it to the season finale

Falling Down
Crying For Rain
STYX HELIX
Going Home
Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Sing My Pleasure
Shiki No Uta

Next round will be up at... some point. Soon-ish! Hopefully!

So season 1 was a fantastic success, great job everybody! But with a new season, we need a new OP, and so I've rustled up a ragtag bunch of misfits to make the GREATEST opening theme the world has ever seen! Or a discordant mess. It's 50/50! And that team consists of....


And as the credits begin to roll.... the music plays.....



Once again! There will be 2 (two) eliminations from this round! You will have 3 days to complete your voting! The deadline will be............................. 7:30PM EST, WEDNESDAY 26TH OF MAY!!!! And most importantly.... have fun! Please! Or else!

The final episode of Season 2 draws to a close.... but unfortunately, some characters were killed off in a shocking last minute twist, that DEFINITELY wasn't done as a ratings stunt!

[+] About to cause a firestorm of angry forum posts

DSQ: bad guy, by Billie Eilish, submitted by AnimeNerd. It received 50.5 points, including one 8 and one public 10.
8th Place: Honor For All, by Daniel Licht & Jon Licht, submitted by me, Pip! It received 43.5 points, including one 10.

Which means all of these songs move on to the final!

[+] Will come back next season with, like, eyepatches and stuff

Godzilla
Kyōran Hey Kids!!
All In Forms
Before My Time
Haikei Goodbye Sayonara

The finals will go up! That's a promise! (real talk they'll probably go up tomorrow night sorry!!!!!)

HEY NERDS YO WASSUP WASSUP GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS ITS TIME FOR



yes! it is time! your contestants for 'the final?!?!?!!?!?!' are.......



And the songs! The songs that play during the final, extra special, 2 and a half hour long final episode, the climax, the culmination of all our hopes and dreams and fears, the soundtrack to THE greatest show on earth! They are!!!





You've got 3 DAYS to get your votes in before the award ceremonies begin at 7:30PM EST, SUNDAY THE 3OTH OF MAY, which we will no doubt sweep in every single category! Don't be late, or you WILL be disqualified, and your name WILL be stricken from the credits themselves. Yes that's draconian and incredibly strict and harsh, but hey! That's showbiz, baby! Now get out there, and make a scene!

We're here, at the end of another successful season of [INSERT SHOW NAME HERE]. There's been laughs, there's been tears, there's been romance, there's been action, there's been incredibly conspicuous product placement. But now, the final, FINAL credits are rolling...


And so too, are the results of the 81st songtest! So lets 'ave a butchers, shall we?
