Survival Of The Fittest

Hello everyone, Mara and Zee have passed hosting duties onto me, so I'll be taking over.

With that said, the theme of the next contest is...

For this contest, we want the hammiest and the cheesiest songs you can think of. Is there a song that's a guilty pleasure to you because of a very particular reason? Is the singer trying harder than they need to? Are there dramatic stings? Weird instrumentation? Are the lyrics about a weird subject matter? If it slightly embarrasses you to have this on your playlist, this is the contest for it.

This is a very subjective theme, so there are no restrictions for what you submit beyond the typical rules. Basically, if it's #TooMuch, it's probably good enough for this contest.

[+] The Typical 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.

- General songtest rules:
- 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.

I will give three days for sign-ups, giving you all until 9 pm EST on 1/14 to submit. You can submit via the board or through Discord PM.

Let's make some sandwiches!
