Now!
I am runnin' this shit, welcome to da weed test.
The rules of this theme are simple: Songs about or focused upon the consumption of or procuring of cannabis. I will be a bit loose here on "focus" since I know that folks aren't all about the gateway drugs as I be. I do want weed, stoner culture or cannabis to be mentioned at the very least and preferably to be a strong guiding scent through out your selections!
I am running 5 day rounds here because this is my first test and I am a bit intimidated by excel sheets and all that jazz. Also, y'know, stoner test, we a more chill and inviting sort.
- [+] Rules Stolen From Last Test That Were Stolen From Another Test
-
-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 five days. some rules about activity/extensions:
- if you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those five 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.
Will be accepting submissions until Sunday with the goal of starting sometime around then, whatever, don't be a buzz kill. If we get enough before then--I will start before then! Stay on your toes, head on a swivel! If you got a star by your name then you haven't submitted, whatever.
