I wound up voting 42/126 songs but I completely get the 34/102 cutoff point. It's like pulling teeth trying to get people to participate in a huge rankdown when the list has low familiarity, and you're potentially looking at the biggest list size we've ever seen.
And it's already been a standard problem in proper Madness games, when some people's involvement begins and ends with the song submission process, and not sticking around for the actual gameplay. It's telling that with 43 participants in Summertime Madness, the vote count never even got close to the participant count until the final 4/2. Either be prepared to 100% commit, or step aside and let in someone who's actually going to use the spot.

^yeah imo I'd keep it smaller because the more songs the less likely people will submit a list for the actual rankdown.
Of course how quickly you sent a list of noms doesn't translate to participation rate in the actual rankdown so it's hard to cut out people, but obviously I'd prefer more of my songs to get in so I voted 34/102. I'll be sending in a list either way though, so just depends what you think is best to get the highest participation.

I feel like there'll be too many rock songs in this... Sadly, I couldn't submit mine yet because I thought I'd do it right before the deadline.. We could start a second RD that is less rock-oriented I dunno? Just a thought

To people that haven't submitted yet and still want to:
If the 34 people wins, you don't have much time since only three people will be allowed, lol. The poll closes at 11:00 am CST, so you'll find out then. I will make a post about the results a little after (I get out of class at 10:50, takes 10 minutes to walk home, takes a few minutes to post). That post will be the re-opening of the submissions.
So basically, get your 8 songs ready NOW. Before the 11:00 poll closing, maybe make a PM with me with your information in there, and submit as soon as I make the post. You probably won't have much time, lol. So: 11:00 am CST, be prepared. It'll be opened shortly after. (probs around 11:15)
(sorry to international people where this kinda gets fuzzy)

I voted for the 42. I definitely want to participate but haven't had the chance to figure out songs to submit and if I submit I'm committing to the entire thing. I do completely understand the limit though. Suggestion though, maybe you could break it down into groups of smaller rankdowns and have one big one in the end. Just an idea but regardless good luck.

Cut everyone down to two songs. A deadline is a deadline and it shouldn't come earlier than expected.This.

Looking forward to this one, it's gonna be interesting to see the results. I haven't sent my list yet because I'm super busy right now and was hoping to wait for the next weekend to send in my list, so it's not very fair imo to cancel the deadline. I do have my list ready now though.

If anyone's not prepared to rank a bunch of dance/alt/international tracks and unknown stuff, then I'm sure a few becky Hot 100 bops won't be missed. :sip2:

Well of course, but I preferred to spend my time on the weekend when I have some free time and not right now when I need to study for a test every day and now I had to make a list because the deadline is tomorrow.

You know what, forget it. Keep submitting until the deadline. I said in the OP that I would pick the top 2-3 songs in your list depending on participants and that's how I should be doing this. So, if we get a lot more participants, I'm knocking down the submissions to two songs. That's how I originally intended it to be, so that's how it's going to be. To people that are still to submit: if you're not going to participate in the rankdown portion, maybe don't submit songs for it. I'd rather people that submit songs are there to vote for theirs. Obviously life gets in the way and sometimes you can't participate even if you think you originally could.

It's what I originally was set to do and it's unfair if I don't let people submit because I had a second change of heart to allow everyone three. I want everyone to submit if they want. Plus, if i only get a few more, 3 will still be the number. If I do this again, there will definitely be more concrete rules since this is turning into a mess already lol. It's a new idea to the board, so I'm sorry not everything was perfect from the getgo.

I'd be fine with the 42 cutoff or infinite/down to 2 songs option Though I feel like you're gonna overwork yourself already once it's past 100 songs, so I say do as much as you're comfortable with.
And that if your gonna submit songs, at least try to take part in the actual rankdown, or your just gonna be hogging space in a way, though it's understandable if you for whatever reason can't find the time to create a ranking.

I'm honestly thinking I'm keeping it at three a piece, but want to give the fair warning if I have to bring it down to two. The majority have submitted, but the stragglers are still there haha. I think we'll get 40 and have a 120 song rankdown which I think should be OK. 42 was what I voted for because that seemed the most fair and plausible, but if more people wanted to submit beyond that, I'd feel bad.

btw when the deadline approaches it will be CLOSED. No last minute submissions.
I plan on doing reveals a bit differently to keep the mystery part alive. So they'll be revealed the following day (maybe late on the 3rd).
On the 3rd, I will post the final participants. If I cut it down to two songs, I will give time to update your lists.

Thanks for opening up submissions again; I just made a list that I'd be comfortable with, despite me not having much time to listen to today's music. My list should be in your inbox soon.

PollenInstead of one huge rankdown, you could split it up into, like, three small rankdowns with everyone's top pick, second pick, and third pick. Then take the top ten out of each to put into one final rankdown. This keeps the Madness feel to it as well.
