Can I join?

I probably won't get past the first round, but it seems fun.

I'm wondering if I should make it  my mission to be the first kicked out.

I meant to say everyone BUT Iarwain.  :biggrin:

You're in.

I'm wondering if I should make it  my mission to be the first kicked out.

Multiple people will be eliminated in the first two rounds.  The first round will take a while, the second not so much, and then they will go progressively faster.  Also, I won't be doing write-ups for the first two rounds, so that will make my job much easier.

I'm going to post detailed rules later today, but the basic formula is:

Round 1: Top two advance to round 3, half of the remaining field is out.
Round 2: Top 4 advance, rest of field is out
Round 3+: Russian roulette.  One person is eliminated each round.

There will be more to it than that, but that is the basic jist.  There will be a significant strategy element starting in round 3 that hopefully will make things more fun.  First two rounds will be open so no one can complain that they would have advanced but they couldn't send such-and-such song.

If there are 20 people participating, then the Top 2 ratings advance directly to round 3.  18 left, so 9 do not pass Go, and do not collect $200.

exactly.  If there is an odd number, I'll let the extra one pass.

MAO!  MAO!!

I sent PM's to a handful of people I want in, so I guess I'll start with the rules.

Round 1: Open.  The top two entries advance to round 3, half of the remaining field is out.  If there is an odd number, one more will advance than is eliminated.

Round 2: Also open.  Top 4 from this round advance, rest of field is out.

Round 3 and beyond:  Russian Roulette rules apply.  Each player submits a song, and I will rank them and assigne a number of "bullets".  You don't want bullets, that's what kills you.  The player that won the round then chooses the order the gun gets passed around, but they aren't told how many bullets each player has.  The gun is then passed around in the order the round winner decides, with each player playing with the number of bullets they got that round, until one player is killed, and the next round begins with music submission.  Bullets from the previous round are removed, clean slates.  The gun will be a six-sided die.  Russian roulette rounds will either be recorded and broadcast on youtube, or more preferably, one person can watch live via facetime, so if you have an iPhone you may get to watch the blood splatter live whether you are in or not.  I'd prefer to do both though, with someone watching live for accountability purposes..  A roll equal to or less than the number of bullets in a player's chamber means that a live round was fired and the player is eliminated.

If that's not fun enough, there will be bonuses to be earned throughout the game.  I compiled a list of 10 bands I'd like to hear.  Submit one of those bands in any round and you earn a one-time one bullet reduction for you to use at your discretion.  In addition, there may be opportunities to earn bullet reductions by round themes.  The last round (with only two players) will go to the one who submits the best song/songs/album; I haven't decided on that, it will depend on how long the previous rounds take probably.

Now, to get people in the mood, here is a great movie clip:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn0yH6i-9ys&feature=related

Feel free to submit songs now.  Grooveshark/youtube preferred, but if you can't find it PM me and I'll give you my gmail account.  Round 1 submissions needed by Sunday.  Feel free to join if you haven't already.

What do I know/own music wise?  Here's my last.fm it's not completely accurate and only covers about the last two years but it's something.  You won't find much classic rock or 80s stuff on there.  I don't have them on CD, but I certainly don't need an introduction to the radio hits of Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Led Zepplin, The Who, Van Halen, Def Leopard, etc.  That's the music I grew up with.  To be less restrictive, I'm going to eliminate albums I own/know, and not entire artists.  To use a fake example: If I had for some reason I didn't have WDADU and I&W but had all the other DT albums, WDADU and I&W would be fair game still.

There is no penalty for submitting a song I wouldn't obviously reject, but if you send me "Iron Man" or something on my last.fm with several plays, I might just drop you.  One more note on my last.fm - for a period of time it was scrobbling songs from Nick's radio show so if you see a band with less than 5 plays, they're probably safe.

If two people send me the same song in these first two rounds, they will just be graded equally for the sake of time.

Awesome. I will take a while to send a song. I have a few songs/bands I want to pick from, plus, I'm looking into some music myself which I might want to send depending on how awesome it is.
