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
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.
It’s a slightly different version to the usual as everyone will get four categories to nominate one song from whichever of the four they choose - everyone is welcome to join in, the regulars, older players who haven’t played for a while and newbies too.
All the previous categories used will be put into random.org and a list created with a number next to it which won’t be made public till the end of the game, the first person to commit gets No 1 and will get a PM giving them four categories which they pick ONE song and they send me a PM of a song they would like to choose which relates to that category. Person No 2 will get No 5, 6, 7 and 8, and so on…..
1) The game is very easy to play – just commit “IN” in the thread or send me a PM saying you’d like to play – you will be sent a PM with your category which you select a song
The only rule is you cannot pick a song that has been picked before – a full list is in Post 4 in both artist and song title order
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 :-
