Oh - that's a shame. Anyway - great song last round.

But you are still going to punch the judge in the neck right? II believe Wikileaks are now in possession of his identity.

We are working on having these rules carved into the face of Mt Rushmore, but until that can be finished - it is still there in thread for Round Two - in black-and-white.
Just when I think you can't get any more hilarious, you up the ante. How do you do it, Caravan Ray?

Caravan Ray wrote:So, that means Paco, as the clear winner of the last round (not including alt judge) has just been shafted by having his chances cut from 50% to 33%?

(BTW - I support Merisan being in the final 100%)
Yes, Paco would have been screwed, but at least he would have been screwed in a way that was consistent with how Nur Ein has screwed people in the past. ;)

Ironically, I just finished this this morning: http://nurein.songfight.net/index.php?title=Nur_Ein
Lemme know if anything's off.
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

immunity is only for rounds 1 2 and 3, not round 4

That is to say they are earned in 1 2 and 3 for rounds 2 3 and 4

Re: Nur Ein VI: Round Six

Good thing it's a wiki, since you'll need to update that every round next year. :P

EDIT: Also you replaced the always puzzling to me "non-optional" descriptor for the challenges with the much more intelligible "mandatory", so please fix that so I can continue to be confused about why they aren't just called "mandatory".

Oh man, I'm turning into BLT or something, posting in the Nur Ein threads every five seconds even though I've been eliminated.

EDIT 2: Do you want the Nur Ein email address on there like that? Won't that get harvested by spam bots or something?

EDIT: Also, are the contestants in your table supposed to be in the order in which they placed in the contest? Seems like Merisan's row isn't in the right place.

This. This is why we need to open up the permissions. :)

I figured the email up there would be ok since a. it's already on the forums for spam bots and b. it's a gmail, which has built in spam protection. Thoughts?

I think you should somehow note the classy acts like Ken, Puce and Wreckdom who submitted tracks even when they had immunity, as opposed to the lazy ones like Merisan and Frankie Big Face who submitted nothing when they had immunity. ;)

EDIT: I guess the songs are there to be downloaded, which is good enough, but a nice "LAZY" label might look fetching.

Absolutely. Let's show those lazy bums what's what. Not writing a song when they don't have....WAIT A MINUTE.

I agree, and advocate Sam and Paco teaming up to try and slay the beast. It won't work though :wink:

I think it is only fair that Merisan and WSA team up against Paco in the final round. It will set a new precedent that ties in the semi-finals must collaborate against the clear winner of that round in the finals.

Paco and glennny and I will just have to wait till after Nur Ein to either band together to form the Song Fight! Guitar Trio, or fight to the death via guitar solos. ;)

I could record a kick ass song for the next SF title and leave 3 solo bridges in it for each one of you guys to lay down your best licks. :D

That sounds like a good precedent to set. Let it be so.

There's one solo bridge. Anyone else want to challenge the dancing bear? :D
There will be a poll.
