Just to clarify the rules a bit, I am posting the official rules here, courtesy of koolboee cdmo87 (adapted from Pink Floyd to U2):
"We will start off with an album, and go in chronological order. We pit all of the songs together, and you must pick the "weakest link", meaning the weakest song on there, and vote it off. The song with the most votes by the next day will be mocked at and beaten upon (well, maybe not that dramatic) until the next round starts, where you vote off another song. Obviously, the list will get smaller and smaller, until we reach the final round.. of which a final "winner" will result.
*HINT* This is a strategy game! Take this example. Let's say we're doing the Joshua Tree rounds. You feel the weakest song on there is "Exit", however, nobody else voted for it. Let's say you absolutely love "Mothers of the Disappeared", and you want it to survive. "In God's Country", a song you like, is getting votes as well. Even if you don't think it's the weakest of the list, it would be wise to vote for "In God's Country", so that it gets the boot instead of your beloved "Mothers of the Disappeared". Get the picture?
Overly obvious rules that really aren't needed to be said but some scoundrel is BOUND to cause a conflict at some point anyway so I should anyway:
01.) No multiple votes in one round. If you double-post by accident, simply delete the additional post.
02.) No personal attacks whatsoever. It's perfectly ok to disagree, and even to speak up if you disagree with a person's choice or their reason for doing so, but remember.. it's only a game. Posting "I think you're a pompous bee-otch you Trip Through Your Wires haterz!!!" will not be tolerated. It is unnecessary, not to mention pathetic.
03.) No starting rounds yourself. If I shall be unavailable to carry on the game for a time, someone MAY be appointed by me to do so. ONLY THIS PERSON may continue the game.
04.) Abide by the regular rules of the forum.
The following really aren't rules, and you won't get in trouble or disqualified if you do them by any means, but they're things we ASK for you to keep in mind:
01.) Please judge by the ALBUM version. Not future live versions or whatever.
02.) Don't vote off songs by the significance of their effect on the band or something. Try to make it as unbiased as possible.
03.) No voting off songs just because a certain band member did/didn't write the song.
That's about it.. oh yes, except one thing
Enjoy the game!! We're doing it for FUN after all!
Any questions, please post them. "
