Guess the Judges!

[frankie big face]

While we're waiting for the scores to roll in, anyone want to take a stab at guessing the identities of the judges?

(They will be revealed in spectacular form following the posting of scores. I think they're going to jump out of a cake.)

Mr. Orange - ?????
Mr. White - ?????
Mr. Blonde - ?????
Mr. Brown - ?????
Mr. Pink - ?????

Is Mo Mr. Orange? In the sixth round there was a post that was posted as Mo but looked like it was supposed to be from Mr. Orange. I also could have misunderstood the posts, I hear I'm the king of something or other...

Pretty sure they are all Johnny Cashpoint.

Interesting theory!

I mean, if he is a judge and Tomorrow doesn't win, he may have psychological problems.

When you present me with logic, I don't have to accept it!

My guesses

Mr. Blue - Frankie Big Face
Reason - I feel like Frankie has to be one of the judges, and I had imagined that he was probably one of the people doing reviews. Mr. Blue didn't do reviews from the look of it, but that might be because he was so busy working on everything else. That makes Frank a likely suspect.

Mr. Brown - Niveous
Reason - One of only two people to have "jotting" in their search history. Plus a history of using the other terms outside of AABA.

Mr. Orange - j$
Reason - "Churlish." Severely uncommon word and no one else was even close.

Mr. Pink - glennny
Reason - Most usages of both "shoehorn" and "disjointed." Seemed like solid enough likelihood right there.

Mr. White - Lunkhead
Reason - I figure Lunkhead almost definitely has to be one of the judges, and Lunkhead has used every one of the uncommon terms I listed. Including "screamo" which seems like a term that not everyone will be familiar with, or would think to use in a post.

This is very detailed. Do you mean Mr. Blue or Mr. Blonde? Mr. Blue is an alternate judge who has not posted reviews nor figured into the ratings. He was a “shadow judge” lurking in the background in case someone flaked.

A-ha! That makes sense! An oversight on my part.

Still, as luck would have it, I seem to recall thinking that Mr. Blonde was you when I was reading reviews.

My gut instinct was to say Mr. Blonde is Frankie Big Face.

[EDIT]

HOWEVER

Unique word that Mr. Blonde used:

Poignant - BoffoYux (9), Frankie Big Face (1)

Based on this:

Mr. Blonde = BoffoYux
Reason: Poignant

Mr. Blue = Frankie Big Face
Reason: Makes sense that the mastermind of the competition would be waiting in the wings to step in if something didn't come to fruition.

especially considering my main thought whilst reading this thread was "I wonder what flavor of cake they would jump out of"

[vowlvom]

Time to reveal that the reason I failed to write any more songs beyond the first round is because I was secretly every one of the judges.

I'm afraid I'd insult somebody through either inclusion or exclusion by guessing based on reviews. I think Glenn's guesses are pretty good. He left out that Mr. Orange posts outside of US time zones, which just strengthens the case for J$.

Oh Jeff, Jeff, Jeff. That's what VPNs are for!

This is fun. We're having fun.

Do VPNs wake you up at 3 in the morning to post on song fight dot net?

That’s one fancy VPN. Possibly an AI VPN.

And now I have the Beastie Boys stuck in my head, thanks, Cookie Puss

Unique words that Mr. Pink used

Very clever, Glenn, but trying to stay one step ahead of you... every time I posted as Mr. Pink, I wrote my comment (in English), then ran it through Google translate into Croatian, then into Slovak, then into Dutch, and then back to English. Fixed any glaring grammatical hiccups that occurred along the way, and posted the result. The assumption was that if I have a distinctive enough writing style, this might cover it up.

This is not a joke -- but it was also a pain in the ass to keep it up, which is at least part of the reason why I didn't share more reviews. (I will try to get all the ones I missed posted in the near future, though)
