Re: Nur Ein XI- Round Five
Here's something that hasn't come up before: if the title and challenge help to complete an old, incomplete song, does that fall in with the ethos of Nur Ein? It's not like anyone would know, but I like to be honest about these things.

Re: Nur Ein XI- Round Five
The spirit of the Ein is to write and record a song within a week. I don't mind if you don't do that; after all, if anyone took an old song of theirs and adapted it to the challenge without telling the judges about it, how could we know? Wouldn't do it myself as it would feel too much like self betrayal, but I won't hold it against anyone who does.BenKrieger wrote:Here's something that hasn't come up before: if the title and challenge help to complete an old, incomplete song, does that fall in with the ethos of Nur Ein?

It feels like self betrayal to me as well, but we'll see!

Sure, use the title and challenge help to complete an old, incomplete song.

Re: Nur Ein XI- Round Five
That is definitely against the rules in Song Fight! You're not supposed to use any material from before the title was announced.

Re: Nur Ein XI- Round Five
Alright! I'll write a new song. I'll even submit the demo of the old idea to Niv so that he has the two to distinguish between.

Could you please link to where this precedent was set?Niveous wrote:Nur Ein precedent states that the two bands scores be matched against each other to decide the one who gets eliminated. In the tie breaker, I-Veg beat out Strangely Brown by a score of 8 to 7.

Re: Nur Ein XI- Round Five
Cool, thanks. That's not the only approach that's been used to resolve ties though, right? I seem to recall some ties being broken other ways.
