Okay, time to put all the skills and strategies we've developed from the AI survivor game into a team game. The aim of the game is, basically, to predict the how the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End Chart will look. A little more than half of the Billboard year has gone by. There is still time for a shake-up, which is why I hope some of you are fortunetellers. This will take place in three stages. Round One {OVER} Each contestant nominates three songs that they believe could be in the top 10 on the year-end chart. That same player must also remove one song that has already been suggested. This round will continue until we have 20 songs. For the sake of keeping the numbers even, I'm only suggesting two songs. The next player suggests three, and must eliminate one of mine. A couple of limitations and clarifications: 1. You must eliminate a previously suggested song. However, songs can be re-suggested by another contestant. Let's say, I suggested Vision of Love and We Belong Together (list of MC's best songs). Pulse then suggests Fantasy, Shake It Off, and Breakdown, and eliminates We Belong Together. Princess Peach would then suggest three more songs, one of which could be We Belong Together. Get it? 2. It will take ten people to get us to 20 songs (I give you two songs, subsequent players suggest three, but take a previous one away (net of two new songs). 2 x 10 = 20. :) So, for this reason, each person may only vote once this round (this will change next round). 3. When you choose a song to remove, it does not have to be a song the person directly before you suggested. Player #9 could still remove one of the songs I suggested, etc. 4. Remember, we are trying to predict songs that will end up in the top 10 of the Billboard year-end chart. This should not be what you want to see in the top 10; instead, these are your predictions of what you think will land in the top 10. Everyone has their own methods for predicting the weekly Hot 100 top 10. I want to get as many opinions and methods involved in this game as possible, with a bit of a checks-and-balances system. 5. The only limitation on the song choice is that the song must have appeared on the Hot 100 at least once since December of last year. Aside from that, you must use your judgment. 6. NEW: You cannot knock off a previously nominated song and use one of your votes to put it back in the same post, DAVID! Gotta rely on others to keep the good songs up there. I hope this does not sound too complicated. Lol, I might have gotten carried away. So, that's round one!

Round Two {OVER}
Round two is where we narrow the field. Similar to the last survivor game, each song begins with 20 points. But, this time, you get to take ten points from one song, and only give five to another. When we are down to ten songs, the round ends.
You may vote once every four people.

Round ThreeIt gets simple here! We take the final ten from Round Two, reset the points to 20 each. Take and give 5 points. But, here, it is important to get the songs to finish in the order you think they will end up on the Hot 100 Year-End chart. The first song eliminated from this round is what we, as a team, predict to be #10 on the year-end tally. And we continue up until we have our year-end #1. Again, only vote once every four people. (Everything gets reset when round two ends. In theory, you could cast the final vote in round two, let me close it, open this round, then you may cast the first vote of this round.) Of course, we won't know how accurate we are until November. For this reason, it really doesn't matter how long this game takes. We'll get more accurate as time passes, but that doesn't mean this has to go slowly. So, have fun. Our Top Ten: 9. What Goes Around...Comes Around - Justin Timberlake 10. This Is Why I'm Hot - Mims

ROUND ONE BEGINS NOW!
(Please let me begin/close each round, whenever that time comes.) My two suggestions:
Irreplaceable Say It Right
Next player suggests three more songs, and knocks off one of mine.

Nope! That's where it gets tricky. A later player will have to re-nominate it. For this reason, you could go with a strategy of suggesting a "bait" song, a song you want to get eliminated. But beware! You can't overdo it, or our top 20 will be chock full of flops!

Lol Pulse. It's okay. I sort of overdid it.
See the four songs on David's list? Kill one of 'em, then suggest three songs that could end up in the top 10 of the year-end tally. You have the option of going with three new songs, or two new songs and Irreplaceable (the song David removed).

Good idea striking Irreplaceable out, instead of just removing it, David. It might help others see if they are missing any *key* songs.

Ok, I think I got it. LOL SexyBack and Gold Digger came out later in the year though, but still made still Top 10 Year End. Hope we don't have one of those late bloomers messing up this game LOL.
I think the only song that's guaranteed to be a late bloomer smash that isn't big yet is Beautiful Girls though (since its' already Top 5 on Airplay :o). So I'm going to include that just to keep the option open
(Although I have a feeling someone who doesn't like that song isn't going to understand the game and is going to remove it anyway LOL)
I don't think BHC is that strong even with its longevity to be Top 10 either. I think that was the bait song. Of course, when one bait song goes, another must replace it ;)

So, we are at the halfway point of round one. There will be fifteen more nominations and five more eliminations, so beware of using too many "bait" songs.
And keep an eye on the strikeout list. You have the power to bring those songs back.
In theory, the last person could use all of his/her nominations on deceased songs, but you might not want to put all the pressure on that person.

Thanks David.
Only three nominators left now. The last three have the responsibility of cleaning up the list, bringing any songs back that need be, and making serious suggestions instead of bait songs.
