Music Competition

[Marc Overmars]

Ok so GC has been a bit shit since the move, but I've seen this little game on another forum that could be fun and liven things up.

Essentially, I will name a topic of music, say, movie soundtracks, then all participants will PM their entries (Titanic song etc) and I will create a poll for the selection of songs and the public on here will decide the best.

The format is that of a league. Say we have 6 participants, that means the public will choose their 3 favourites via the poll, then when the deadline has passed the results would stand.

The winning entry gets 6 points, runner up 5, and so on...

Then we'd move on to the next topic and repeat.

Eventually, after 6 rounds or whatever, we'd have our final table and crown a champion.

Sound good?

Or should I FOAD?

Worth a try :hug:

[Marc Overmars]

I need to do some work but I'll be back at lunch where hopefully the idea hasn't been laughed out of the building...

[LDG]

Rofl. I smell fail.

MO :rose:

[Boss]

As long as you put together a GIF of a trophy in paint, I'm in.

Something like this:

Go for it.We should also bring back the Word Association game tbh and the Say something about the poster above you whatever game.Let's get some life back in to GC. Bar the Film thread, its been a pile of Arsenal

[Marc Overmars]

Fuck it, no harm in trying.

Ok so, I need 6 people to take part.

Who's in?

Ideally I'd like 6 peeps with differing tastes in music to take part, so there is a spread amongst the public vote and it keeps the thing credible, no point in having 6 Wengerbabies with 6 Boyzone songs...

[Cripps_orig]

In

[LDG]

I'm in!

(Though I can't do weekends *shakes hair in a camp way*)

[Marc Overmars]

Bit of a problem. When making a poll does anyone know how to limit the amount of options people can choose like you could on the old site?

There is an option for multiple choice but there doesn't seem to be a way of stopping any cunt "voting for all of them".

I need it so people can select no more than 3 out of 6 options.

4 more please. Although there appears to be a fundamental problem with the poll but hopefully there is a solution.

[Joker]

I'll do it

[Letters]

I'll have a go if you've got room

[Marc Overmars]

I'm looking at some external sites to create the poll but the first 2 I've seen have the same problem as here. Jeez.

[LDG]

Might need to start this on Monday...I'm off tomorrow.

Or, get someone to replace me.

Soz.

[Marc Overmars]

Check your PM's

[LDG]

Check your PM's

:good:

:music:

Oooh. Also, once the poll is up, you could post the 6 songs as Youtube clips....sometimes people may know a song, but not the name / artiste

[Marc Overmars]

Ok, none of these poll sites have a limit on multiple choice answers either. :unsure:

The only way to get this off the ground is if I can trust the GW faithful to vote properly or to have the poll as single choice, which is what I'm leaning towards now.

[Master Splinter]

Or should I FOAD?

:gp:

[Marc Overmars]

Motherfucker

[dazthegooner]

Well have been know to fuck other peoples mothers :ninja:

[Marc Overmars]

Executive decision....single choice it is.

Need 2 more people please then we can begin.

I feel sorry for you tbh, so I'll help you out :good:.

If it becomes a long-term and stressful commitment, I'll have to pull out though, sadly.

[Marc Overmars]

Fanx. I was hoping you'd enter because I consider it a coup for this competition tbh.

It's neither of those things btw so you're good.

Right

LDG has already sent me his entry for this round.

The first theme is...The 80's.

Can you PM me your entries ASAP please. Remember to not necessarily go for what is your favourite, but what will also appeal to the public as well in order to gain votes. Just the 1 entry per participant is needed.

Cheers for all those taking part btw, I realise this is a bit WTF. :lol:
But it's something different I guess and there's nowt else going on.

[Master Splinter]

So basically any three big songs from the 80s?

[Marc Overmars]

Sorry should have been clearer, just the 1 song.

Also, if someone sends a song that has already been submitted, then you will need to pick another one because they got in first.

[Cripps_orig]

Will the public be told who nominated which song when these are polled up?

[Marc Overmars]

Will the public be told who nominated which song when these are polled up?

Nope. Only once the poll is closed and the result is confirmed will I reveal who nominated what for that particular round.

[Cripps_orig]

Ok good.

That seems fair.

Im winning this shit tbh

[Master Splinter]

Im winning this shit tbh

:lol:

Is it that sort of competition?

If so, I'm selling out and going for the obvious popular choice tbh.

[Marc Overmars]

Just waiting for your entry Japan Shaking and we're good to go.

Must say I'm surprised by the choices, I was expecting 6 tracks from Thriller. :lol:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

sorry time difference and all that!
will PM you straight after this!

[Japan Shaking All Over]

sent and let the fun begin

how about rather than announcing the name of the winner, putting up a video of their song first?
people will see the poll in rhe end but it might be interesting

[Japan Shaking All Over]

just played my song on Youtube in the office - hands in the air time!

[LDG]

I'm wet with anticipation.

[Master Splinter]

I'm wet with anticipation.

That's what your mum said too.

[LDG]

That's what your mum said too. Fuck off. She's dry as hangover mouth. And fuck old and ugly. You Fail.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Top of the Pops never has this much action!

[Master Splinter]

Top of the Pops never has this much action!

Probably because it got cancelled a few years ago!
