Title: Do you guys want me to try and put together the DT survivor again?
Post by: splent on June 21, 2012, 07:13:18 PM: I promise I won't back out this time. Last year was tough. This year it's a lot easier.

Post by: black_biff_stadler on June 25, 2012, 12:54:29 AM: So does Only a Matter of Time usually win for WDaDU? I could only imagine The Killing Hand giving it a run for its money based on the way I see folks around here talking. Here's my WDaDU ranking simply because no one really gives a shit about other people's rankings of albums and even fewer give a shit about WDaDU:

1. Ytse Jam
2. Afterlife
3. The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun
4. Light Fuse and Get Away
5. A Fortune in Lies
6. Status Seeker
7. The Killing Hand
8. Only a Matter of Time

I think A Fortune in Lies usually wins it. Ytse Jam might be second.

But yes, run the survivor. It gets the most participation. I might draft along this, and revive my 'favorite DT moment' (as opposed to whole songs) survivor.

Title: The more pressing question is how do they cram all that graham?
Post by: black_biff_stadler on June 25, 2012, 08:37:17 PM: Only a Matter of Time ain't bad but I really, REALLY, REALLY like the entirety of WDaDU so it's not that it's a distant 8th but that my feeling toward the tracks on that album are a bit more leveled than the average DTFer that only likes 2 or 3 songs from it, max, and shallowly writes it off because of CD's vocals and the production not being as shiny as I&W.

Post by: black_biff_stadler on July 08, 2012, 08:12:25 PM: I think Splent really wants/wanted to do this but probably overestimated how much room he actually has in his schedule since he's married, has an infant (maybe toddler by now), and may have to do shit to prepare for the upcoming school year (he's a teacher for those unaware.)

Post by: splent on July 14, 2012, 09:51:07 AM: All up and set up.

Anyways, heres a question for you. DT has 11 albums, plus including the demos/singles, = 12 albums. That means a top 24, and then a top 12 for the consolation song. To make it a top 25, that means only one song from the consolation round will move on. Do you want that, or do you want the top 6 from that round to be included to make it a top 30? That means more songs, less arguing, more people happy. What do you think?
Title: Re: Do you guys want me to try and put together the DT survivor again?
Post by: Scorpion on July 14, 2012, 10:09:18 AM: Do the Top 30.
Title: Re: Do you guys want me to try and put together the DT survivor again?
Post by: jingle.boy on July 14, 2012, 10:16:13 AM: I say a top 30. Given ACOS always gets a spot in the finals, doesn't that make it a top 25 even before the consolation songs? Then you do 5 consolation songs.

I put ACOS in the Non-Album survivor. so Top 6.

Isn't there an emote with some tumbleweed? That would totally fit into that description.
