hello everyone it's Pip again!!!!!!! someone keeps on letting me into the building for some reason, which is very silly because it means I keep on stealing snacks from the Staff lounge, and also submitting songs to the song contest as well. And today I am a winner! and that means YOU are all winners as well, because you get to participate in a GLORIOUS PIP SONGTEST!!!!

you may applaud a little if you like. i am still songtest princess after all. no, success hasn't gone to my head, what gives you that idea

Anyway!!!! There is a theme for this songtest!!!! It is......


ALPHABETTY SPAGHETTI........ PART 2!!!!

aka

Here's the super boring rules first of all!
[+] Super Boring Rules
- 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.

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.

Now, here's where I talk about the particulars of this songtest itself! So there was some discussion a while back as to whether it made more sense, when listing each submission, to put the song title first, or the artist name first; the the song is, of course, the song you will be listening to, thus holds significant importance, but the song also would not exist without the artist or band who created it. And that got me thinking! Way back in the past, in the misty history of the SOTF Songtest, we had the Alphabet Songtest 1, where everyone was assigned a letter from the alphabet, and would select a song whose title started with that letter. We are now going to be doing that again.... but with the artist name instead!

So! If you're interested in participating, then either post in this thread or drop me a DM on discord or via the boards. I'll then assign you a LETTER from the ALPHABET! You must then pick an artist/band/musically-inclined ctenophore that begins with that letter, choose a song by them, and then send it to me!

Sign ups will last, as is traditional, for three days! That makes the deadline 11PM ON FRIDAY THE 9TH OF JULY, 2021! Good luck everybody, and have fun!

Last time we did this I got Z and Yugi didn't give me any sort of bonus despite having one of the hardest letters. I'm not bitter.
