How long will it take until they count every post that was posted in the games forum though?

How long will it take until they count every post that was posted in the games forum though? Probably never. I imagine whatever mechanism activates the post counts again is designed to start counting from the moment it is activated rather than catching up from when it was deactivated in the first place. Which is for the best, imo, since the count was deactivated because of the useless drive-by posts that came from stuff like DZs. It would be pointless to deactivate it to avoid that problem, only to give people credit for all those posts later. Its mildly sucky that there are about 10 months of rankdowns that will not be counted, but it's really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. They will be counted from here on out, which is hella awesome!

I'mma open Randomly Specific Vol. 1 after submissions for the Rita rankdown close; hopefully I get a good amount of additional entries before deadline, although I may extend. Meanwhile is A N Y O N E going to do the ARIA game or am I gonna have to cancel? :sip2:

I think that I woulda preferred that instead idk. February 1, 2017. But about 30 of those songs would probably be on the year-end list so I didn't think I should do that. I originally had January 1, 2017 in mind.

Graveys future Rankdowns - Tell me if these are good ideas. Idk the exact particular order I will do them in.
Every Rankdown Number 1 I had in all Rankdowns that I participated in. Songs that do very very well in Rankdowns (like constant top 3 finishes) 50 R&B songs I love from 2000s. 50 songs from female artists that I love. 50 of my favorite all time songs. 50 songs I love from 2017 that did not make 2017 Year End List. And then maybe an artist rankdown or 2.
Any other ideas I come up with, I will post them here. These are all for the future. What do you guys think?

YotamTS can you put me on queue for my personal Urban rankdown? Although it'll probably be awhile before I open it.

You can add two more personal rankdowns to the queue for me YotamTS lol: James' Alternative Rankdown, Vol. 1 (idea stolen from Daryl, lol) James' #1 Songs Both won't be starting for awhile (one will probably be in 2018), but just thought I'd put the idea out there. Btw, if anyone wants to claim the Classic Rock Rankdown from me, PM me. I've pushed it back countless times, and I'm not sure if I'm going to do it anymore.

YotamTS can you add these to the queue please: 1) New Jack Swing rankdown (thread has not been started yet but initial deadline will be Monday, November 20 for now) 2) Prince rankdown - TBD (I don't really plan on doing this until 2018 but I wanted to call dibs on it now because it's something that has been in the back of my head for a while) I'mma open Randomly Specific Vol. 1 after submissions for the Rita rankdown close; hopefully I get a good amount of additional entries before deadline, although I may extend. Meanwhile is A N Y O N E going to do the ARIA game or am I gonna have to cancel? :sip2: I'm still planning on doing this but I was actually going to ask if you would accept a late submission because I let the date sneak up on me. I'm going to try my best to get it finished tonight but I think I won't be able to get to anything rankdown related until this weekend. :|

I'm currently looking at pushing back the deadlines of both the ARIA game and the Rita game so whichever one you were referring to, you'll be on time.

Separate post because I wanted to get feedback on this idea and make sure there is sufficient interest before committing to it.
I was thinking of doing '12 Days of Christmas Rankdowns', where I do a mini-rankdown every day from December 11 to December 22 (the Friday before Xmas). You don't have to participate in all the days, just the ones you want to. Each day would have a short list of 10-20 songs that are all Christmas, but share some other common theme as well. So for example, on the "first" day of Christmas Rankdowns, I reveal ranked Christmas staples/classics (the original songs, not covers). Second day, '80s Christmas. Third day, teenybopper Christmas. Fourth day, Christmas novelty songs...fifth day, sad Christmas songs...So on, and so forth. I'm thinking different days dedicated to genres as well. I haven't worked out what all 12 themes would be yet so I am open to suggestions.
OTOH maybe you guys think that would be overkill and I should just do one 'big' holiday rankdown? Let me know either way. I just figured the holidays are usually when we're all at our busiest and will have less time than normal for games, so this seemed like a fun way to put a twist on something holiday related while at the same time making it super easy to participate.
If enough people are down for it I'll come up with the themes/lists and have them up by November. The deadline for each rankdown would be the day before its reveal - you can seriously be as last-minute as you want because these rankdowns are going to be so short; last-minute calculations aren't hard and I won't be trying to go all out with fancy images or anything.

I might maybe try doing a rankdown maybe 30 personal lesser known songs I just gotta learn how to calculate everything(would appreciate if anyone could pm me some tips or a guideline of some sort, thanks in advance ofc ) And then find a proper time frame And most importantly make sure I commit myself to it I can already think of the song selection and can work out maybe how to reveal them via hints and such

^ Use a spreadsheet to keep track of everyone's rankings for all the songs you include (Google Docs has an online version of Excel if you need it). If you want to use an inverse point system then you'll need a second sheet for the point values (one document allows a minimum of three sheets), otherwise if you just use golf rules (smallest score wins) then all you need to do is add up all of the rankings for the point total.

In my rankdowns I use the smallest score wins tactic, it's very simple and I taught myself how to do it well in 2 rankdowns.
