Please vote for the tracklisting you LIKE THE MOST.
Welcome to the twelfth qualifying round of the Interference Desert Island Game II! The premise of this game is that all of the Interferencers have been stranded on a desert island and we can only take up to 160 minutes of music with us (either as a continuous iPod playlist or two 80 minute CDs or any other format of our choosing). The object is to see which forum member can fit the most musical goodness into these 160 minutes.
In the last round, Bono_212 beat Adrball in a 15-13 victory.
This round features tracklistings by Bono_man2002 and Phanan. Below, you will find their tracklistings. If you are unfamiliar with the songs included, we can help you hear them! Just leave your e-mail address.
Reminder for contestants: if there was an error on your tracklisting on the master list thread, let me know before your qualifying round so I can post the correct tracklist!

ah crap...

Little Birdy - Come On Come Come On - Hollywood (3:52

should be

Little Birdy - Come On, Come On :lol:

can you vote for yourself? :evil:
 
I'm going to have to think about this one for a bit.

And uh, what on earth has happened to the repechage format? I know mine was meant to be just myself versus Liam, but the rest are meant to be three way contests, otherwise we'd end up with too many people in the heats. The reason mine's just against Liam is because our third contestant was meant to be the loser of the tied round - so both of them went through as winners to a three-way heat.

Also, I've felt a bit funny making the threads for my own rounds, so I'll sit that one out, but I'd like to take back the task of running the competition soon. I think I'll be on the forums my usual amount again. :)
 
Wow...I'm really going to have to think about this one for a while first.

Maybe they're running two Separate rounds at once?

I think that was our original intention. The problem is the second round is only inmyplace13 vs Lemonchick. Where's the third contestant?

We can only have four repechage rounds, as there are only four places left in the heats. It's meant to be one repechage of two (myself vs Liam) and three repechages of three, with the winner of each going through to join the twelve qualifying round winners in the heats.

PS Could someone please update me on who's won the qualifying rounds?
 
Axver (I'm just going to do them all, not trying to be sarcastic promise):

1: GibsonGirl
2: Screwtape2
3: Tie - dazzlingamy/FitzChivalry
4: Lara Mullen
5: Lancemc
6: XHendrix24
7: Bono's shades
8: LJT
9: LemonMacPhisto
10: U2VertigoFly
11: bono_212

Another thing, Does anyone vote for themselves on this thing?, I'm only gonna do it if everyone else does :evil:

I'm pretty sure the answer is a resounding yes.
 
In case anyone was curious, the total run time for my playlist was 159:58. Just barely made it.

I originally was going to split it into two, because I liked how Street Spirit ended the first part and Gimme Shelter started the second, but in terms of time it didn't work out, so I just put it all together.

Still seems to work though. :wink:
 
Wow...I'm kind of torn...so I decided to give my vote to whoever's list had the most songs that I also have on my iPod.

bono_man2002: 9
phanan: 6

Sorry, phanan.
 
Phanan ends with Jungleland, which is the best way to end anything ever.

I used it in the last contest, so I couldn't use it again :grumpy:
 
I was gonna vote last night, but needed more time. Reviewed the lists again, and I still can't decide. Maybe tonight :reject:

Somebody voted for me! :hyper:

Your cash is now in the mail!
before I entered my vote (and reading any comments in this thread) I was thinking it was kinda pointless since I thought you would be ahead already be about 20 votes :huh:
