Pain Of Salvation Survivor 2017 - Main thread
« on: January 01, 2017, 01:22:14 PM »
Hi everyone! I want to start the survivor tomorrow with Entropia.
This survivor will include also the new upcoming album. We will vote for that one in April or May. I know that maybe it's a bit too early, but I want to start the survivor now that I'm listening a lot PoS, and I think that voting 2 or 3 months after April won't change much, it will be still difficult to compare new songs with the historical ones.

Rules:
Polls will last 1 day.

For every album the first two songs goes directly to the finals, the 3rd and 4th classified goes to consolations.

The consolations will have 20 songs: 18 coming from 3rd and 4th classified of each album and 2 coming from non-album tracks/bonus tracks. Every album survivor won't include their respective bonus tracks, and for the non-album/bonus tracks I don't want to do a survivor but there will be a poll lasting 2 days where everyone will vote for their two favourite tracks and the ones that will receive more votes will participate to consolations. In case of ties there will be a tiebreaker and if there will be another tie I will promote more songs into consolations.
So in the finals there will be 24 songs:
 - 2 songs from every of the 9 albums
 - 5 songs from Consolations
 - 1 song from another secret round that I won't explain now.

The finals will be played with the rules of the DT League and of the Leprous Survivor I did some months ago. I think that with this formula there can't be doubts that the winner song will be the favourite one of DTF.

In between Road Salt Two and In The Passing Light Of Day survivor, I could do a survivor for Falling Home or 12:5 if the majority of people is interested. However no songs from those albums will enter to finals or consolations. You can comment on this thread and say if you want one of these two survivors, otherwise I won't do them.

I will do an album survivor for sure in between Road Salt Two and the ITPLOD to crown the favourite PoS album, to delay a bit the ITPLOD survivor.

Yea, if you are doing bonus songs in their own poll, then I'd say leave off 12:5 and Falling Home (the album).

I was watching the results two weeks ago, it was in 2013. Iter Impius won in the end, quite unexpected for me.

I think I'll have to sit out TPE round, since I love all of those songs so damn much. I appreciate the "just seeing the results" option.

I took the idea from the user who is running the Yes survivor, I realized it 1 minute before creating the poll for Entropia ;)

I have changed one thing about the rules and deciding to promote 2 songs out of 10 of the non album tracks to consolations, not only one.

Thanks for organizing this! I don't agree with everything of course, but the results are pretty good. (Chain Sling should be in the Top 10 though. ;))

I could have promoted more songs from the albums placed better in the Album survivor, like in the current Symphony X survivor, but I think the top four would have been the same. Next time I will do something shorter  :P
