Regarding the ITG Elimination Game

Your current format will never end. Ever. People have tried to point this out inside the thread but it moves to fast so nothing is being read. If you take away 1 point and add 1 point, you will always have the same number of points, with just less songs. So that means that when it comes down to the last 2 songs, there will be over 500 points between the two of them. That's assuming it ever gets that far. You need to do something to reduce the number of points, such as add 1 point and take 2 away. That means that there can only be a certain number of posts because every time someone posts something will be closer to being eliminated. As it stands, songs will be eliminated at a rate so slow that you would literally get to over 1000 pages before the list was dwindled down, and most of it would be the same few people going back and forth to purposefully eliminate songs.

If you ever want it to end I say you change something about it now. There are other options of doing this you can pick any, but I think for something that is becoming a large thread so rapidly the people who are contributing should discuss in here and come to a thoughtful consensus on what should be done to make sure it doesn't last forever.

Just my thoughts on the matter, you kids do whatever you want.

I don't see how that has anything to do with the subject. You are postwhoring, which deserves a warning point. If I get warned for doing something which isn't a rule, you definitely deserve to be warned for that. I am not intending to appear as someone I am not, any similarities are purely coincidental.

Back on subject, it's still never going to end.

Next time me and Cody decide to fix up the game a little bit, nobody interrupts, causing him to get mad and go play starcraft?

Tim reset it from before what we did.

Oh darn, looks like you just wasted 5 hours of your life.

In any event, I had two suggestions:

1) Trim down every song's score by a few points - just enough so that the lowest-scoring songs at the time of the adjustment have 1 point - and go from there. We'll do this every 5 pages or so until it's no longer necessary

2) Set a threshold - say, 15 points - and have any song that reaches that score be frozen. You wouldn't be able to add or subtract points to that song for the rest of the round. Once all the songs on the list are either eliminated or frozen, we just reset all the remaining songs back to 5 points and continue on.

I dont see any rules on the thread about not posting more than once. Many people have done it. I didnt post twice in a row.

I'm most for 2. If not 2, then 3 is best.

I think option one would be the easiest to implement in the middle of it all. Changing what to do halfway through will confuse people too much. I don't really like the idea of freezing it at a certain number because then people are forced to put their votes to another song they didn't want to put them on.

I sure can't wait until the real Cutriss locks this thread. This is just plain foolishness. How absurd!

I'm voting only for two. Number one means one person will have to change all the numbers, and somebody's definitely going to get lazy and do the numbers wrong. I don't think number three is necessary quite yet.

So, I think we should set the threshold at 20, and reduce to 5 when all songs are frozen.
Also, no double-posting whatsoever.
