Alright, bear with me for one
small last step in this Ayreon/Arjen Lucassen Survivor. Here we go with your current predictions for Grand Finals League.
These are the songs that are participating, sixteen total. There will be fifteen rounds where every songs will face each other in a matchup (think DT and Haken League). After these fifteen rounds, the song with most victories is the winner.
Into the Black Hole
Age of Shadows
Day Two: Isolation
The Day That the World Breaks Down
Beneath the Waves
Dawn of a Million Souls
Isis and Osiris
The Sixth Extinction
Day Twelve: Trauma
Liquid Eternity
Day Twenty: Confrontation
Day Three: Pain
The Eye of Ra
Season of Denial
24 Hours
Perfection?
For the purposes of the predictions,
Top 5 is what matters here.
The rules are the same as they were for Ayreon Finals, so this is basically copy-paste from my earlier post:
Before I begin explaining this one, three big things:
1. The order of your predictions matters here.
2. You can change your predictions without losing points, as long as you don't change the songs that you think you've got right from the beginning.
3. If you predicted that the song will get to Top 5, but guessed the wrong spot for it, you still get 1 point.
For the songs you decide not to tamper with (as in, not change either their placement or replace them entirely), if you predicted them correctly, you get 15/12/9/6/3 (correct prediction for the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th place). For the songs you tampered with in any way (swapped their places in your prediction, for example), you get two thirds of the points—10/8/6/4/2. However, it should be noted, that this doesn't affect your whole prediction (unlike in Consolations)—if you change one song and leave the other intact, you can still get full points for the ones you didn't change. So it's possible to receive, say, 15/8/9/4/3 or 10/12/6/6/2.
Since this competition is mostly for fun, I'm going to reveal all of your initial predictions for this round—you also won't need to go look for your own predictions.
The songs that aren't in the competition are colored
gray.

5. The StormThis is our last competition! I know this should've ended already, but I had some difficulties running this Survivor for the last few months, so we're still in it, but this is finally it, last 15 rounds and we'll know both the winning song and the winner of the contest. You can change your songs as you changed them for Ayreon Finals: you'll get full points for the songs you didn't touch and you'll get updated points for the songs you've changed or tampered with.
While there are only four songs from Arjen Lucassen Survivor, they may make an impact—but more importantly, the League format
will make an impact. This last leg isn't a Survivor, it's a League, and so you should change or leave your predictions as they are with this fact in consideration. I feel the results may be a lot different from what we've got in, say, Ayreon Survivor.
I'll send a round of PMs reminding you to change your predictions if you so desire. You have slightly less than a week to change them, the sooner the better. The deadline is May 3rd.
