Gotta go with Hard rock here.) 4. The Wolf vs. The Vengeful One 5. Ex's & Oh's vs. Footsteps 6. First vs. Failure 7. Crystals vs. Angel 8. Cecilia and the Satellite vs. Lydia 9. Shut Up and Dance vs. Jenny 10. Moaning Lisa Smile vs. Jekyll and Hyde 11. Dead Inside vs. Nobody Praying For Me 12. Ship To Wreck vs. Better Place 13. Hold Back the River vs. Gravity 14.

I say whoever starts it though knows they have the time for it for the few weeks it takes. I remember Devin had problems with time last year.

We do a game on TuneLab where the users vote from a choice of 5-10 different bands. Then, once the winning band is chosen, we have to rank out Top 10 favorite songs from them. From there, we pick a Top 30 I believe depending on the total number of vote points. Your #1 song is 10 points, #2 is 9 points, and so on.
It's a lot of math to keep track of and obviously in order to manage it, you have to have a ton of free time. It's a lot of fun nevertheless and sometimes can be very difficult to condense ten songs into a list when there are over 100. Like Foo Fighters was brutal, but awesome to do.
Does anyone want to try this game out. More importantly, is anyone down for being in charge of it? I would, but with working around 60 hours a week, I unfortunately don't have the time.

I'm thinking of creating a tournament game, but I'm not sure whether the pairing of songs needs to be in any order.

I'll try one out and see how easy/hard it is to manage. Let's start by having everyone suggest 5 bands and rank them, 5 points for 1st down to 1 for 5th. Then we'll pick the top band/artist and start ranking songs. Here are my 5: 1. Beck 2. Green Day 3. Foo Fighters 4. Rise Against 5. Linkin Park

Wait for the Top 5 bands, can more than one person pick the same band (like I was going to put Foo Fighters in my list)? And Daryl the Beryl, if you're doing the tournament, make a separate thread in the Alt forum. Don't do it in here. It'll get cluttered (especially if we start the band game).

Then we'll pick the top band/artist and start ranking songs. Awesome way of starting it up! If it helps, the creator of this game of Tunelab uses Google Sheets to manage the whole system. I'd post a link to the current Jimmy Eat World game we just started on there, but it seems that tlboard.com is down now. Once the site is back up, it's in the first section, which title escapes me at the moment. Users enter their username into a blank field, then their Top 10 songs into ten blank fields, followed by three multiple choices in radio buttons from a list of around ten bands that we can do in the next game before they press the submit button. I've never used Google Sheets to do something like this, but I'm assuming it populates into an Excel type of document that helps keep track of everyone's submissions. He gives two weeks for everyone to enter their responses (not sure if we want to do the same time limit), and then he shows about five results every few hours starting from #30 I believe and who picked each song in their Top 10. Again, this would be much easier to explain in the site was working now. You can check out our last game on Seether for examples as well. Anyway, I see no reason why we can't choose the same bands as it will give us a better idea of who to choose for each game. Here's mine which I chose by the top all-time Alternative artists on Billboard. I figured any of these would be fun to do. 1. Foo Fighters 2. Red Hot Chili Peppers 3. Linkin Park 4. Green Day 5. U2

1. Brand New 2. The Dear Hunter 3. Manchester Orchestra 4. Sunny Day Real Estate 5. Ours
These are my top 5 favorite bands of all time. I doubt any of these will get too far, but I'm sticking with it. And I'll do what Dr. Indie did and list 6-10 as well just because I feel like it.
6. Thrice 7. Les Friction 8. Silversun Pickups 9. E.S. Posthumus 10. Led Zeppelin
Also, is there a separate thread for this yet?

I'll keep this open for a few more days before I tally up the artists and pick the first. As for a new thread, I could go either way, but I figured it might be easier to keep everything contained in here so we avoid having too many individual game threads.
I'm open to suggestions though, whatever you guys prefer.

I think in here is fine. As long as we have one game going at a time, then we can do the games in here. If we do more than one, it'll get confusing and cluttered.

1. R.E.M. 2. Depeche Mode 3. Beck 4. Coldplay 5. The White Stripes (6. Red Hot Chili Peppers) (7. Radiohead) (8. New Order) (9. The Smiths) (10. LCD Soundsystem)
(No. 1 is really the only one whose position I'm firm with, the rest are just whatever favorite bands of mine sprung up into my head first and are all pretty interchangeable)

Okay, to formalize this a bit, I'll take any new entries for the next two days, and I'll close entries for the first artist at midnight EST on Thursday.
Then we'll figure out how we want the points for songs to be counted and move on from there.

It will not be fine in here. Way too much clutter. Make a new thread. I guess that would be a good idea, if we continue this game on a regular basis with different quetionaires. Top 5 songs of 1991 or Tip 5 Green day songs for example etc.. Then it would deserve it's own thread.
