Hello, Addy, how are you?

I am not sure if I get to pick a new theme for the game, if I don't, please accept my apologies and disregard this message...

If I do, considering that I have been busy lately and with little availability to sign on, do you mind if I do it now, just in case, before you could PM me out? :p

The Olympic Games are just a few days away, and will probably be in full force by the time we are to play this edition of our game. In recognition of that, I would like to theme this game after the host city of Rio de Janeiro.

For this game, participants will have to nominate songs or singers (or groups) whose first names start with the letters "R" or "I" or "O" or "D" or "E" or "J" or "A" or "N" (eiro)... The only exception to the rule would be if the name of the group or song is preceded by the article "the" (or its equivalent in any other language)... therefore "The Doors", for example, are eligible, but "Three Doors Down" are not... :p

If participants do not like the theme, I would like to let King Wally pick a new one... Thank you and good luck! :D



THE ORIGINS OF THE GAME

Some time ago one of the nicest guys on the forum Sergio (sfar) tested out an idea he had for a Song Game, which involved people nominating a song – then at the end of it the songs were listed and people voted on their top three songs.

A few months later, as a Eurovision Song Contest nut, I had the thought of bringing the Eurovision element into it along with the voting system used there. We jointly once did some TT Olympic and TT Football specials and always made a great team so I checked with Sergio that he was OK for me to expand on his original idea, which he was, along with adding an interactive element of an interview with all participants about the songs and the game in general where everyone could put forward ideas and suggestions about the game, it's all really thanks to Sergio that this game started :worship: .

I once did a TT Eurovision special and gave the winner a heart-attack when I informed him that the Eurovision tradition is that the winner hosts the following year - instead the winner picks the next category.

Following that on 14th November 2013, the first ever TF Pick The Best Song Game was started.






HOW TO JOIN IN AND PLAY THE GAME


1. Send me a PM with any song that relates to the category above - along with the You Tube link if possible.

2. Make clear which is the song title and which is the artist.

3. When the deadline is over, I'll post all the songs in the thread (without the name of the user who sent it) for everyone to vote.

4.The song that gets the most points wins the game. In the event of a tie the song with the most 12 points will win, if that number is the same then it's the most 10 and so on.



For those who haven’t played before, anyone is welcome to play – here’s a link to all previous games which are housed at the TF Pick The Best Song Game Sub-Forum to see how it works :-​

- You can send your song until WEDNESDAY 10th August 2016
- I'll publish all songs received on THURSDAY 11th August 2016
- You can vote your 10 favourite songs (which will be given 12, 10, 8-1 points respectively – the good old Eurovision format) from the published list

RANKINGS POINTS

The following rankings points are given at the end of each game :





Although the game didn't immediately start at one every week, it was fairly early in the run of games that it became a weekly game, so to make things simple I've counted every game as one week.

Rankings are compiled from the last 52 games - the best 16 scores during the last 52 games count to the players total ranking.

With huge thanks and acknowledgement to Markus for doing a lot of the inputting of and clearing the then backlog :worship:

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 136 – R I O - D E - J A N E I R O - Nomina

When I first opened the thread I was expecting something like that or something along the lines of pick a song that represents Rio/2016 Summer Olympics.

But this category is still great, I already have an idea in mind on how I'm going to tackle this theme.

Cool. :yeah:

I was afraid it might be a Brazilian game.
Moi aussi :sobbing:

Cool theme choice wayitis :hug:

But ... there was a specific song I found two days ago that I wanted to nominate in this game.

Not eligible /wrists :bigcry::lol:

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 136 – R I O - D E - J A N E I R O - Nomina

Not quite clear. Does song need to start with particular letter, or band, or both, or either one of those two is fine?

It's both:

"For this game, participants will have to nominate songs or singers (or groups) whose first names start with the letters "R" or "I" or "O" or "D" or "E" or "J" or "A" or "N" "

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 136 – R I O - D E - J A N E I R O - Nomina

Lol I just remembered a song the submission of which would be the most epic ubermensch act of trolling since the Americans erected the *Statue of Liberty* to represent their country...
Let's see if I nominate it.

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 136 – R I O - D E - J A N E I R O - Nomina

The song can start with one of the letters? I've spent the last 16 hours just thinking of eligible artists. :bigcry:

I should learn how to read. :eek:

if its songs or singers/groups, the number will be high!
