MindCrime Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 WELCOME TO THE... Personal Favorites ALL MEMBERS OF SONGFACTS ARE MOST WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE. The greater the participation, the more diverse, and more representative our top ten list is. We'd like to invite everyone to help us select THE SONGFACTORS' CHOICE TOP TEN! IT'S SIMPLE, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS: * Nominate up to three of your favorite songs, regardless of them previously making the archive or not. There are a few catches though... [bigger]* Once an artist has been nominated, they can't be done again, in other words... one song per artist. (First come first serve).[/bigger]Other than that, any song is available to be nominated. I am doing this in an attempt to draw in new members to the 10, to give them a taste of how this works. * When nominations close, choose your favorite Ten songs in order of preference from the Final Nominations and post them here. Points are allotted, 10 for your #1 song, 9 for #2, Etc. and our Top Ten is compiled from them. At the end of the voting period we'll announce The Songfactors' Choice Top Ten For that week.

MindCrime Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 # Once an artist has been nominated, they can't be done again, in other words... one song per artist. (First come first serve). This is to ensure that 10 different artists have songs in the final 10, instead of 4 Beatles, 3 Stones, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkstones Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 This is to ensure that 10 different artists have songs in the final 10, instead of 4 Beatles, 3 Stones, etc. That should be the standard rule for the TT regardless of whether it's a special or not, IMO.

MindCrime Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 ^ I agree Pink, I don't care much for vote splitting either and after last week with the Beatles having 3 songs make it in, I just may start making that a new rule.

The problem isn't the rules...it's the number of people that play the game. If we had a large number then the voting would take care of these issues.

pinkstones Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I don't know about that. People are more likely to vote for older, more well-known songs vs. newer, lesser-known cuts, regardless if 10 people play or 100. That's why a Beatles song is almost a lock to make the TT and a song from Sigur Ros or Muse is not. I try to balance nominating older songs and newer songs because while I love the older stuff, I also want newer songs to get more representation. That's my $0.02 anyhow.

Uncle Joe Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 BTW...I think that Pink and RonJon are both right. I like limiting one artist per TT nominations and we definitely need more participants. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I do see a few people who used to participate, still posting on the boards, so maybe Kenne or Brad could PM them and ask them to come back? If we limit nominations to one artist per TT (no 12 noms from the same band/singer), maybe Songfactors who felt marginalized otherwise might participate again.

MindCrime Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Would you guys rather be able to vote for your own noms? I don't wanna discourage anyone from voting because they think they're competing against their own picks. I just thought it would make it easier, well put it to a vote.

phil Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I think we should not vote for our noms. It makes for a purer result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Right now, I can choose 5 and I haven't nominated, but that may change. Maybe not make it a hard and fast rule, but leave it as optional if you can't find 10 picks you like without putting in your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wanna discourage anyone from voting because they think they're competing against their own picks. I just thought it would make it easier, well put it to a vote. There have been more than a few weeks where, if I wasn't able to vote for my own choices, I wouldn't be able to vote at all, because there weren't 10 songs I like enough to vote for. I'm not saying that'll be the case this week, because all the nominations haven't come in, but in the future....I want to be able to vote for my own choices.
