well, i kind of expected this thread to be chock full of "whiners" (i.e. people with opinions) complaining (i.e. discussing) how big this fight is, and how it mandates the need for more than one fight. so far it's been quiet so i'm going to throw down some joe-friday logic and try to break this down in simple terms.
multiple fights means more work for the fightmasters
that's right, believe it or not, all of you people that feel the need for more fights are asking 2 very kind and upstanding guys that run this for free to give even more of their limited time and resources. gee, maybe the reason the fightmasters took a week to get the fights up was because they had to deal with multiple versions of the homepage, collecting multiple cover art, re-tagging and sorting multiple songs. personally, i feel like everyone that has "whined" (i.e. discussed) about multiple fights are doing so for their own selfish reasons (too many songs for ME to review, too many songs for ME to listen to, but seemingly all about the individual). really, how are mutiple fights better for everyone, the community at large and specifically the very benevolent fightmasters? it's more work for them.
it's called Songfight!
hey, lets just change the name of the site to Songfights! change the URL too. i won a songfight that had 2 other entries in it (and yes, this was after the change to multiple fights from the original formula). wow, i won a fight against 2 other artists. big whoop. hardly anyone probably listened to that fight, i know it got minimal reviews. a proud accomplishment indeed. would i rather have the satisfaction of winning a single fight, the only fight for that week. absolutely.
it's not about choice
don't like the title? uninspired? don't play. it's pretty simple. i was in 2 fights the past year. there was a time when i entered every week, sometimes multiple times under multiple names back when songfight was small. but now i enter only when i'm inspired. my muse dictates my participation, not a choice of titles.
prove me wrong. give me some real evidence and facts that having multiple fights is better for everyone and not just you. otherwise your opinion is a grain of salt to me.
