2 and 3 by far the hardest
4 p hard too actually, would easily be CT based on highlights but Portishead got that perf discog bonus and CT are easier to burn out on |

JohnnyoftheWell
10.06.23 | would say that Portishead/CT are a considerable upgrade on The Cure/Kate Bush and Burial a considerable downgrade from Massive Attack... otherwise fair competition but 2022 probs does have to take it
2020 ez the weakest |

Wildcard vote: revive Slipknot to liven this comp up |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.09.23 | feck that's tempting
though the amount of screentime that's already gone into the Slipknot timeline would make a reboot a little egregious
but maybe we should have a special revival round next year (to coincide with the round 4 playoff)? KILL the artists you love, get ONE that you didn't want back |

10.10.23 | The round is CLOSED demon stop talking! |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.10.23 | more talking less asking dumb questions plz |
Demon of the Fall
10.10.23 | I meant the ROYALE in general, not this round
...but yeah, it's dragging like hell, lol |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.10.23 | would have it going non-stop through the year if that was what it took to give an adequate number of people the chance to vote. absolutely no point in running this if there isn't a roughly even number of ballots between rounds |
Demon of the Fall
10.10.23 | Is it based on the no. of votes then, rather than time elapsed? I do wonder if the timing alters the results somewhat
I think it likely does unless you let each round run for an entire week (which is madness, but maybe you will for the final idk) |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.10.23 | It is based on the number of votes, because the votes are what "alter the results" and a larger datapool (c.50 ballots) legitimises the results
The timestamps for how long each round has run for are literally right there to see (typically 3-4 days, with the exception of Round 4 because I had a 11,000 word list to finish) |
fogza
10.10.23 | Demon goshdarnit don't make me come over there I told you to be quiet johnny is counting |
Demon of the Fall
10.10.23 | 3 or 4 days isn't too bad, it definitely feels like longer
I'm just mildly perturbed that I can't hit fast forward and find out what the end result is. That inevitable feeling of disappointment isn't going to conjure itself |
