Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Zero
Hey Kids! Here is a tip for new players!
It is a good idea to save files regularly as you work on them. Thay way - when your computer inexplicably chucks a wobbly at 7:30pm on Sunday night - you won't lose EVERYTHING you have been working on, and be forced to stay up to midnight re-recording the whole thing again from scratch.
My funk epic full of horn sections and bongos and guitar solos and stuff has been lost to the ether - and replaced by a stripped back bass/guitar/drums treatment.
Oh well. I'm in.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Zero
Feeling like a dumbass. Got my song finished, and what do I do? Forgot to mail it in. If I had a copy on my phone, I could make the deadline, but I don't and am at work. Good luck to the rest of y'all!

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Zero
I was quite late to submit. I wanted to make some changes to the song but I didn't have time in the end.Generic wrote:I mailed mine in last night. Niveous replied that I was the second in. I'm assuming Adam was first.
Now I'm just trying not to get pedantic about the exclamation points.
NUR EIN
Also I thought the number of exclamation marks was commensurate with the number of Nur Eins. So this being no 8 it should be
NUR EIN!!!!!!!!

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Zero
The deadline is as important a part of this contest as are the songs, really. But with 23 contestants, perhaps the judges will consider granting you a favor.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Zero
Inflatable Vegetables? Heh. I was nearing the end of the playlist and now they are there. Woo!
Exclamation points: I think Jon is going for the adding one for every round bit versus a total for whatever number EIN it is. I say it's eight, so...NUR EIN!!!!!!!! If Jon can make it to round eight, then by all means, stack'em up!

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Zero
We need more well defined exclamation mark rules! How are we supposed to enjoy ourselves if we just willy nilly put punctuation wherever we think it's appropriate! It's a joke, this whole competition will never be taken seriously if we continue to lark about and can't even agree on the proper number of exclamation marks!!!

Because Niveous is a dear, and I made my ride home from work speed through a residential area, I snuck in under the finish line...
And *gasp* I tried to sing. And now y'all will hear why the Pixie does not sing.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Zero
Sorry, guys, we got into (admittedly lighthearted) arguments in past years over the number of exclamation points. I think it should increase throughout the competition, one for each round; others think it should be one for each year the competition has been going on.
Reading the past year's discussions on the matter, I sound insufferable, so I'll shut up about it now. Use however many exclamation points you want, enjoy yourself, and Bring Your A Game.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Zero
Still lighthearted, Jon. Just bustin' balls. That Zero Round NUR EIN! of yours just looks so wimpy without an exclamation point, though. Poor little guy!
ANYWAY, excellent batch of songs and a great lineup. This is gonna be fun.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Zero
I am almost certain the adding exclamation points convention was originally suggested by Billy's Little Trip, and at that time he was adding one for each round.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Zero
How about next year we start Nur Ein at round 10 and go up to round 17? That way there'll be plenty of exclamation marks.Paco Del Stinko wrote:That Zero Round NUR EIN! of yours just looks so wimpy without an exclamation point, though. Poor little guy!
