Now, you know how these Final Rounds are usually meaningless in the Album Survivors? Both songs usually go to the Finals anyway, and while yes, determining the winner is important, it's not that important in terms of actual results.

When I designed the Prediction Contest to run along with the Survivor, I wanted to make these Final Rounds worthwhile and interesting and keeping you guys on the edge somewhat. That's why the order of your predictions matters. If your Top 2 is right and the order is right, you get 5 points for the song #1 and 3 points for song #2, 8 points total. If you screwed the order up, however, you will only get 1 point for each song, 2 points total.

There are seven people who got the Top 2 right... but how many of you got the order right?

Anyway, let's get back on track.

Don't expect to get the order right, but I truly believe Computerize to be the better song.
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

Well, I'll be coherent and stick with Computer Eyes, but my almost only favorite song was voted out last round
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Computer Eyes. Abbey of Synn is, imo, the only truly excellent song on this album.

It's the Final Round and we have a tie. I don't see a point of running a tiebreaker with the same two options again. We go by total-votes method, and mostly thanks to the effort or MirrorMask, Computer Eyes loses with 6 votes prior to this round, with Abbey of Synn having only one pre-Final Round vote.

Results of Actual Fantasy Survivor:

1. Abbey of Synn
2. Computer Eyes

3. Beyond the Last Horizon
4. Forevermore
5. The Stranger from Within
6. Back on Planet Earth
7. Farside of the World
8. Actual Fantasy

The players' predictions and the points in Prediction Contest will be distributed soon in the respective thread.
