The starting time frame isn't changing. If you can't record a song next week then you'd have been eliminated in the first round anyways. At least this way everyone who can meet the schedule gets a chance to.WeaselSlayer wrote:I absolutely cannot record a song next week, so I'm out in round zero?

Even if we didn't do round zero, we would've done round one starting on Friday....

It would sure suck if someone who qualifies for round one drops out by not producing a song in one of the early rounds.

That is what we're doing, just with some slightly different numbers. And because I hate all life equally, it's nice to kill two birds no matter how you do it.Sven wrote:Why don't you just kill two birds with one stone, and make round 1 open, with 20 people moving on to round 2?
Yes, yes it would suck. Like it sucked last time when some of the people who "qualified" by doing nothing more than saying "I want in" failed to produce a song. Happens to almost everyone sooner or later-- life is just that complicated sometimes.rdurand wrote:It would sure suck if someone who makes qualifies for round zero drops out by not producing a song in one of the early rounds.
But it won't suck much! At the start we're only keeping twenty-five people, right? If one of those keepers later drops out, well, the 26th person might feel a little hard done by, but if the best you can do is 26th place then I don't feel too bad for seeing you eliminated. Because I hate you all equally.
No format is perfect, but as long as you keep writing good songs you won't be affected by how we deal with the first round or two.

I'm glad you're in. If I recall correctly (and I could go check, but I haven't) you're the one who started the thread that turned into the first Nur Ein! last February.jolly roger wrote:jack wrote:boy, i'd hate to be one of the poor bastards that gets cut.Niveous wrote:The Jury has discussed.

More entrants definitely means more people who are better than me. Well, hopefully I at least make it to Round 1. That would be embarassing if I didn't.

Also, if I remember correctly, Roger, you're the one that started a thread to get advice on mic placement on your kit and cabs, then used that advice and turned your mixing ability and studio sound around 100%.rdurand wrote:I'm glad you're in.

I think you do recall correctly - therefore there should be some sort of tradition where JR carries immunity into the opening round - sort of like how Greece always leads the march past at the Olympics opening ceremonyrdurand wrote:I'm glad you're in.
