Ok, here's a game from another message board that I'd like to try here. I think I understand it enough to host!
Ok, what you have to do is pick a song that is relatively unknown! So no singles are allowed and prefereably not songs by artists whose CDs are owned by half the board (therefore, no songs from CDs like 'Stripped' or 'Jagged Little Pill' or 'Let Go'). They can be B-sides, rare tracks, unreleased tracks or songs by artists that no one knows. Your goal is to pick a song you think will be most liked by the other players of the game.
The rules involving point distribution are as follows: -You cannot give more than 10 points to a single song. -You can't give more than one song the same amount of points (so, only one song can have 10 points, only one song can have 9 points, etc).**
The person whose song gets the least points after everyone has listened to and given points to all songs is elliminated from submitting a song for the rest of the game but must keep voting for songs submitted.
Everyone who participates has to submit a song for every round and listen to and vote on every song. You pretty much rank the songs in order from best to worst.
The length of the game depends on the number of people who join.
Who's up?

More details.
When you join, you have to pick a song that you love that you think nobody else does. Once again, it has to be a song that you assume is relatively unknown and unheard at these boards so if the only singers you listen to is Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, you're prolly not suited for this game :(.
When you pick the song you want, you put it up somewhere so that everyone else can download it and/or hear it somehow. When everyone else hears the song, they'll vote for it, giving it points either between 1 - 10 (pretty much ranking it 1-10 with 10 being the best but only one song per rank). You canNOT vote for your own song. Once all the players have heard and voted for all the songs, the votes will be tabulated and the person whose song got the least votes is eliminated. HOWEVER, they still have to vote for songs in future rounds, thus keeping the game alive. The person who can last throughout the whole game is the winner and voted Best Picker of Unknown Songs by the Pulse Board!

Basically, it's a ranking system with each song excluding your own.

Will the songs be anonymous or will we know who the singer is when we're listening to them?

Basically, you have to provide a link to your own song and list the artist and title of it. That's all you need. Probably use yousendit.net or whatever it is. (I've never used that before...)

What if say.. La Tasha puts up a really good song. However, La Donna doesn't like La Tasha on this board and just disses La Tasha's song cos she doesn't like La Tasha?
Also, what if La Tasha puts up a Brandy song and a Brandy hata will just rate that it sucks cos they don't like Brandy?

yousendit.net is only for sending huge files to someone's e-mail.
know any sites that would just store an mp3 and let you link to it?
I'm having a bitch of a time trying to find the song I want to use.

I think we can use Yahoo! Briefcase.
Like Mineable said, maybe we should keep the artist and title anon.

You know certain people will rank songs higher or lower based on the person who's sending it, or who the artist is. I for one will be honest and will listen to every song. I can't speak for anyone else though.

If we had a place where the songs could be sent in or something, maybe we could do it completely anonymously. That would mean that whoever is in charge couldn't play though. We need someone who has access to a server that would be interested in being moderator or at least some way in which songs could be uploaded. I do like the idea of having complete anonymitity though. Then it's fair to the song, artist and person sending it in. I'm confused about the yousendit.com thing though. I always see links to mp3s with that here on the boards and have downloaded a bunch of new songs from there.

I know damn well I'll hear something I won't like. But the thing about it is. All the songs are suppost to be from artist(s) we don't think anyone here has heard of or heard much of.
I'll give every song its fair listen.
But hows it going to work, Song 1, Song 2? Song A, Song B?

An unknown artist can be another person's favorite singer. Also, I thought we could include b-sides and rare songs that most people haven't heard of..
