Post by Emprexx Plush »

hey hello hi what's poppin it's ya girl paige here to ring in the holidays in the way they were always meant to be celebrated: reminding us of the disastrous people we've dated

THE 47TH SOTF SONGTEST AKA:
BAD ROMANCE

Gimme songs about relationships that failed. Gimme songs about relationships that are failing. Gimme songs about exes. Gimme songs doomed attraction. Gimme songs about idk hit me with a pitch if it's not in one of those categories let's see what we can do you know how it is the rules are all made up and the points don't matter except when they do okay goodbye!
[+] da rulez but stolen from fen because im a miscreant
- submit your song via PM or discord, whichever's easier for you

- songs will be randomly divided into 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. if you're going to be away at some point in the next couple of weeks, let me know and I can try to put your song in a round when you'll be here.

- listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.

- if your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points.

- the top [x] songs will move on to the final. that number depends on the number of contestants.

- repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.

- winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.

general song rules:
- no eurovision songs
- no reality show/competition covers
- no songs already submitted in a songtest
- there is no penalty for length in this contest. however, if a song goes over 7 minutes, listeners aren't obligated to listen to more than the first 7 minutes of the song. so choose a long song at your own risk!

each semifinal and the final will last for three days. some rules about activity/extensions:
- if you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those three days, let me know asap and I can move you to another semi, if we aren't on the final one already.
- I'll be posting every 24 hours in this topic as a reminder, as well as pinging everyone who hasn't voted on discord 24 hours before the round ends.
- extensions will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. forgetting to vote until an hour before deadline is not an extenuating circumstance.
sign ups are three daysish, let's call it 9:30 PM EST 11/23/19. Hit me with songs over discord or board PM if that's your jam, fuck send me songs on twitter if you can find it i'm not your mom why are you listening to me???

It was difficult to nail down exactly when the anger started. Remembering a time when it wasn't there, coiled up and waiting to strike or alive and thrashing, was growing more and more challenging. It'd been with her for so long that it no longer felt like an intruder in her mind. It felt like a part of her.

Sing along if you know the words: Everyone involved in this round MUST vote or be eliminated. Your vote can be sent by board PM or discord, either is fine by me. you cannot vote for your own song. Public Votes(votes if you aren't in this round or in the contest at all) will be counted at half points.

Votes are due by 9:30 PM EST 11/27/19.

No extensions will be granted barring extenuating circumstances. I'll be giving regular reminders in chat and in this thread.

For our newcomers and those that need a refresher, voting is by Eurovision rules. you'll be sending your top 10 songs in as follows:

12- Song Name
10- Song Name
8- ...
7- ...
6- ...
5- ...
4- ...
3- ...
2- ...
1- ...

with 12 being your favorite song, 10 being your second favorite, and so on. The top 8 songs will advance to finals.
