Life permitting I really want to do this. It looks like a lot of fun. If there are no more spots and somebody else wants in, I can opt out. Finals are coming... but i did just finally get my recording stuff up here. And soon i will be home too and i can use all my real instruments.

How many slots are still open?

wouldn't that make it "the BeWell" then?

or does Ken have that covered already?

I will announce my paypal account and whoever sends the most money gets the most votes.

I assume that in the end we'll have to come up with a rank ordering, but how we get there is up to us. I'm sure it won't be as simple as "which songs I like best," for whatever that's worth.

How much weight should be put on non-optional challenges? Does a clever interpretation in a lousy song beat an incredible song that addresses the challenge in a stupid way (or not at all)? This is a difficult issue that I intend to resolve with dice.

Having received sufficient encouragement from both the US and Canada, I declare myself IN.

That's enough out of you, Caravan Ray - Nur Ein is no place for you and your sexual innuendo-based tomfoolery. Go back under the rock you crawled out from, and take your vile single-entendres with you.

But yes, I am very much looking forward to Round II. And the Dirty Hearts are primed to fire. Bring it on A.S.A.P. I say.

Civil War! This Ex-Dirty Heart will meet you on the field of battle, sir. Someone will be hoisted by their figgins, forsooth!

And why isn't there a kissy-face emoticon? Damn...

There is no such thing as an ex-Dirty Heart Rabid. Dirty Heart-dom is an eternal state - not unlike herpes. But you are correct, that will all be forgotten on the field of battle - your theramin will not save you.

Count me in if there's still room. Not sure what band name, but yeah.

ALSO, I realized that with most of the SF'ers, I already have pictures. If any of you want me to just use one of the pics I have in the archives then disregard my previous photo request. Thanks to all those who have already sent pics. Spinlock, Glennny, Paco & Denyer, I don't have pics of y'all in the archive.

Welcome Marcus. We have all 25! Jury check your e-mails soon for a e-mail from me.

Damn! just got back home from my three weeks away, and I missed this, oh well!!

Good luck to you all, and I'll be eagerly listening into this years plethora of amazing creations...

Billy's Little Trip · Post by **Billy's Little Trip** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 2:01 pm

Damn Niv, I'm sorry I missed this. I must have past by this thread a hundred times, but had my mind on other things.
If anyone drops out for any unexpected reason, I'd be happy to be a backup.
Good luck to everyone.

Why the 25 limit Niv? If you recall last year - a lot of the early expulsions were only because people didn't submit songs. From recent Songfighting experience - I'd guess that the above two charachters could at least be counted on to deliver songs.

Any chance on stretching the numbers - and maybe having a few extra expulsions in the first few rounds?

glennny · Post by **glennny** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 3:56 pm

Treat them like alternates on a jury.

If someone doesn't submit in the 1st round their slot would be filled by Sp00n then by BLT?

Just a thought, besides maybe we'll get a BLT and Sp00n song out of it.

How do I always just barely miss this! I mean, I guess twice is a stretch for "always" but seriously.

Niveous · Post by **Niveous** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:52 pm

The Jury has discussed.

Starting this friday! We will have Round Zero of the Nur Ein. It's an open round where only the top 25 survive to the big show.

boy, i'd hate to be one of the poor bastards that gets cut.

WeaselSlayer · Post by **WeaselSlayer** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 7:09 pm

I absolutely cannot record a song next week, so I'm out in round zero? Because some people didn't look at this thread in time?
