a bunch of inverted commas Not submitting a song is 100% using immunity. Although I agree with you that using immunity doesn't necessarily mean not submitting a song. But the other scenarios you mentioned, though worthy of discussion, do not have a column on the table which is why I didn't mention ...

...Mauering is considered to be in very poor taste and in some cases players who do it often enough can be asked to leave a game. Given that "Nur Ein" is also German, it seems like a fitting and concise way of describing a round in which the player has immunity and does not submit a song....

Ah yes, you are correct. For some reason (probably because I'm an idiot) I thought I had a 1 in the mauer column. The headings don't stick to the top of the page so it makes the table hard to read.

I've only ever had immunity once, and I definitely submitted a song the following week, so PFJ's explanation fits better for me. Also, I feel like it makes more sense to have a counter for a type of song submission than for non-submissions. I will await confirmation from the coiner of the term with ...

Can someone please tell me what a "mauer" is? Wha? In the list of previous participants https://nure.in/artists.html the headings are Shadows, Forfeits, Immunities, Mauers . The word "Mauer" is not in the English dictionary, and the German translation is "wall". If any...

Can someone please tell me what a "mauer" is?

Congratulations Moss Palace!
well played.

I can't lie, it's disappointing to come so close, but hey at least this way I don't have to judge next year!

Hear hear. I'm looking forward to a well earned rest.
I'm delighted to have made the final and compete against such a talented and esteemed opponent. Good luck!
And thanks to the judges for sacrificing your time so this could happen!

Nur Ein!

Balance Lost featuring guest vocals by chewmeupspitmeout Lyrics: We can bang loudly on the floorboards There's nobody downstairs They got tired of our antics Feral romantics You're asking questions you Don't want the answers to So let's pretend It never happened Every time you insult me as you're l...

Damn, Pete. Way to bring it! Good job everyone else, too. But wow, that Balance Lost song. Wow! Thank you, Sam! It always feels good to get a reaction like that to a song. It doesn't happen often! I just hope the judges feel the same way Great showing from everyone. The standard is so high now. Goo...

"breakdown" vs "transition" Yeah, you make good points and when I listen back I agree that technically what you've done is as legitimate a breakdown as any in the fight. Probably then, the issue is with the effectiveness of the breakdown. I think stripping away everything but th...

Balance Lost Notes: I always want listeners to take their own interpretation from my lyrics so I'm a little reticent to provide my own meaning in case it prevents people from hearing it in their own way, however for the purposes of Nur Ein I will describe my intentions. This song is meant to be abo...

Congratulations to Starfy! 2 weeks in a row! I have now equalled my (solo) personal best, woot! I wrote these the other day but wanted to wait until the results were out before posting. There's few things worse in Nur Ein world than getting a negative comment which stokes your fears of getting cut. ...

Balance Lost Challenge: There are two breakdowns in this song; one at 0.33 and another at 1.50. One of us is always waiting On the 13th floor There is no elevator This situation needs a little patience When we've both calmed down 'Til then I'll see you later This house of cards It all falls down Si...

Thnak you for your answer.

Do you think you could find another method of scoring where Balance Lost would win? For example, by alphabetical order or by how many dirty swears were used in the song.
Asking for a friend

Kind regards
Pete

I have a hypothetical question for the judges. What if, say, I had got 2 points from Judge 1 resulting in a 3-way tie. In that instance, I would beat Starfinger in a tiebreaker, Starfinger beats Moss Palace, and Moss Palace beats me. How would the tie then be broken? Would it be based on how many to...

... I'm not sure if getting more tryhard is good or bad...

I meant it as in you're upping your game each round. Maybe tryhard wasn't the right word to use since people often use pejoratively.

I listened 3 or 4 times and would rank the songs as follows. It was difficult to separate them though, it was pretty tight. Moss Palace BSS Mechakarp Glennny The Friends Starfinger Cybronica Cavedwellers Spintown I think everyone's pushing their game up as we get to the business end of the competiti...

Lots of nice things about the Balance Lost song Wow! That is probably the most in depth analysis I have ever received of one of my songs. I really appreciate that, man. Thank you! And thanks to Frankie for sticking up for me too. I've been struggling with whether to respond to this offensive post. ...

All good points, Siebass. I do appreciate that judges are volunteers and that it is a thankless task, so I'm grateful for the sacrifice that they are all making. That being said, having been a judge here on multiple occasions; it's not that hard, especially when you don't have to write reviews, whic...

Balance Lost - this is another one i feel is kind of samey throughout. Lyric wise i’m not sure the grandad part comes across. Can’t tell if you had a guest. Thanks for the review. Can't tell if I had a guest? Are you serious? You think verse vocalist and chorus vocalist are the same person? Do you ...
