Okay...now that we have that out of our systems.
I could use one more judge for the Critic's Choice Awards. Is anyone interested?

Great. You've disturbed the sacred peace we've been trying to create for the past 30 seconds.

I did also love the part about not running over your dog.
For the record, if anyone cares, I wasn't actually offended. Maybe a little eye-rolling and "whatever" occurred, but I don't have delicate baby feelings.
I do feel pretty out of place in the competition, though. I'm curious to see how my mix is received in its round, and then compare that to my mix in the next mini-symphonic-dead-puppy game. Or whatever we're calling it.

Quick question, actually two:
1. Why are we arguing (or, rather, discussing in a respectful manner) here instead of the main thread?
and
2. Have we stopped caring about the poll results? I'm quite certain we have.

I don't even remember whose poll we're hijacking.

1. It is easier.
2. I think we should start the next two polls tomorrow. There has been little voting in the second day. I'd like to move the game along. Would anyone be up for that?

Agreed.
I think the point is sufficiently made after a single day.

I haven't finished listening to everyone's yet, and the next two heats are the last ones in Round 1.
I'd stay on schedule with them, because once they are over, if you recall, when Round 2 starts I'm doing four at once, and you'll find it will move very fast.

Khan v. LJT has been the only close round really.

Yeah, let's move it along. I want to see how badly BonoIsMyMuse whomps my ass.

Can you just make the next two polls and keep the current two up? Most people have voted and it seems like a waste of a day to wait for a few more votes that probably won't change anything.

You should discuss that with a mod; they might not take so kindly to having the page that cluttered.

It would only be four polls. The second round wouldn't start until Monday.

How about this, then...
We let these two heats play out. They'll end on Sunday. Then, the last two heats of Round 1 begin and also go for 48 hours.
On Tuesday, when Round 2 begins, I'll do four heats at once and make them only 24 hours. Thus our schedule will be:
Sunday: Last two heats of Round 1
Tuesday: First four heats of Round 2
Wednesday: Second four heats of Round 2
Thursday: First four heats of Round 3
Friday: Second four heats of Round 3
Saturday: First four, Round 4
Sunday: Second four, Round 4
Monday: First four, Round 5
Tuesday: Second four, Round 5
Wednesday: Quarters
Thursday: Semis
Friday: Final
How's that?

Actually, I do too. There are some people, such as Screwtape, who share my approach, but in terms of actual musical taste, I think I'm on my own in terms of the palette with which I paint.
In a way, LemonMelon's right that I play it safe. I intentionally do not use a considerably large amount of my music collection as I know my tastes in metal will not do well with the Interference crowd. I basically have a rule that I don't include anything with death growls or particularly extreme instrumentation (which is hard for me to quantify as I've become a bit desensitised to metal). I'm seriously thinking about breaking that rule for the mini-tournament.

That sounds good but we could make the Final/Third Place Game (if we do one) run for two days.

48 hours for the Final works for me.

One more point I'd like to make:
"Safe" may not always be a bad thing. There is "so safe that you limit yourself" and there is "safe enough that you actually have a chance to win" and (in the case of a concept) "safe enough that you are comfortable with the material you're using so you can use it properly".
I try to stay away from anything resembling "safe", but I must admit that my list this time out is incredibly safe. It's just not a trend I want to continue.

I really believe that the Album Game will put to rest a lot of these opinions about different playlists and approaches. By the way, I love your entry.

I see what you're saying, but considering how many polls were running at once when Beav did those smiley polls in LS, this would be nothing compared to that.
It would take twice as long if we staggered. I think that's too much time.

In the next game, just let loose. So many lists will be on the edge that no one will condemn you for it.
LemonMelon said:
See, I think that if you're making a concept, you do need to be comfortable with the material so you use it properly. I don't think anyone wants to be the person who uses, say, The Police's Every Breath You Take without realising it's a stalker song, or Rush's A Passage To Bangkok under the impression it's a song about travel rather than Neil Peart's drug use!

Will do. I have so much fun making these playlists, and then wear myself out when I start obsessing over them long after they are no longer under my control.
