Encore - Months

Post by C is for »

The round will start on Wednesday. Today please pick one of the following options you'd most like to do for Encore this round:

1. Months of the year. Self-explanatory.

2. Opposites. Light/dark, hot/cold, love/hate. All within one song (within 8 words? Let me know...).

3. Occupations. Teacher, nurse, fireman.

None of these are great, but I think all of them sufficient for our needs. Maybe pick the one that you think will go least long??

I voted opposites, though I vote not within 8 words. Make it too hard and it won't be fun any more.

I've gotten basically third place 3 times now. And someone once described me as someone who "hated music" so I think I'm doing pretty well considering. :)

True. Maybe some restrictions would be necessary first.

If the same people keep winning, we may need to implement some handicaps. (And I should probably keep a master list of who's won each round so I can better track if the same people are winning . . .)

I wouldn't say the same people necessarily keep winning. Here's my impromptu list:
Katya (Yellow 12/15)
C4 (Cry 12/21)
Dead Cat (Musicians 1/1)
Marduk (Mom/Pop 1/13)
Bob (Two Colors 1/20)
Dead Cat (Numbers 1/30)
Katya (States 2/23)
ahem (Body Parts 3/7)
C4 (? 3/23)

Def (pronounced deef), you should've done a thumb song! Then you could've won.

I didn't win anything to do the Yellow round, and I only won the round before the States round because I was randomly picked out of four finalists. But I agree that it doesn't look to be a big problem, yet.

Put another way, I'm less concerned about the same people winning and more concerned about the same people not winning, if that makes any sense.

All right, Months just edged out the other two possibilities. So, provide songs that have one of the twelve months in your lyrics. There is no restriction on how many times a month may be used, so those of you that handicap yourselves may use your discretion whether you care to for this round.

Is it possible to alter the title of this thread so that it now reflects the selected topic?
