This is just something I wanted to experiment with; I mentioned this in the 30STM thread after they won Pulse's survivor tournament. It'll work sorta like that game, but with rules largely mirroring the WWE's annual Royal Rumble. For those who aren't familiar with the event, it works like your standard battle royal with wrestlers trying to eliminate each other by throwing opponents over the top rope to the floor. The difference is each of the 30 entrants enter the match at fixed intervals of time; so you have two guys starting, then someone else enters 90 seconds later, then someone else, and so on for the rest of the match. So this is how it'll work. We'll take the top 30 songs on the pop chart at this moment. Numbers 30 and 29 will start, and a new song will enter after every three votes cast. (Four seems like a better number, but I don't know how many people will be participating.) Three votes will be needed to eliminate a song, and the counts are reset once a song is eliminated. Once you cast a vote you have to wait until two songs enter before you can vote again. Once all 30 songs have entered, you only need to wait until a song is eliminated to vote again. Hopefully that wasn't too complicated. It should become clearer as the game goes along anyway, and hopefully it'll go smoothly. Alright, here are the songs participating in order of appearance (and they'll be crossed off as the game goes along). 30) Quietdrive - Time After Time 29) Linkin Park - What I've Done 28) Ciara - Like a Boy 27) T-Pain with Akon - Bartender 26) Lifehouse - First Time 25) Paula Deanda - Easy 24) Kat Deluna with Elephant Man - Whine Up 23) Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend 22) Gym Class Heroes with Patrick Stump - Clothes Off 21) Pink - Who Knew 20) Justin Timberlake - LoveStoned 19) Fall Out Boy - Thnks Fr The Mmrs 18) Boys Like Girls - The Great Escape 17) Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone16) Gwen Stefani - 4 in the Morning 15) Rihanna - Shut Up and Drive 14) Pink - U + Ur Hand13) Amy Winehouse - Rehab 12) Nickelback - Rockstar11) Daughtry - Home 10) Shop Boyz - Party Like a Rockstar9) Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder 8) Timbaland - The Way I Are 7) Justin Timberlake - Summer Love 6) T-Pain - Buy U a Drank 5) Elliott Yamin - Wait for You 4) Rihanna - Umbrella 3) Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah 2) Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls 1) Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry And are first two entrants are: Quietdrive - Time After Time Linkin Park - What I've Done

I want to see the game move along, and Quietdrive has no chance anyway, so I'll make it 3 votes for "TAT".

So that means it's Ciara vs. Linkin Park, right?
If so, I vote off Ciara.

Post by mtm4319 on Jul 30, 2007 1:51:31 GMT -4
Yeah. I think we should show the current participants (whoever they might be) like this:
30) Quietdrive - Time After Time 29) Linkin Park - What I've Done (0) 28) Ciara - Like a Boy (1)
And I'll go with Ciara too, so it's:
30) Quietdrive - Time After Time 29) Linkin Park - What I've Done (0) 28) Ciara - Like a Boy (2)

Perhaps we should've increased the number of votes. Because I vote off Ciara and some people haven't even had a chance to see any of this yet.

I'm confused on how long we have to wait before we can vote again..The next song, or two songs after?

Perhaps we should've increased the number of votes. Because I vote off Ciara and some people haven't even had a chance to see any of this yet. Hmm, I think instead, for now anyway, I'll remove the elimination exception to voting again. So now - answering gpduke's question - you have to wait for two songs to enter after you vote (at least three to five other people voting, to put it another way), regardless of songs being eliminated. Then we'll see about changing either the threshold for elimination, and/or the entrance time. With Ciara gone, the participants are: 29) Linkin Park - What I've Done (0) 28) Ciara - Like a Boy27) T-Pain with Akon - Bartender (1) My vote for T-Pain is filled in.

It doesn't seem like there are enough users for that..

As long as we have 5 or so people participating regularly, I don't think it'll be a problem.

Alright, I guess I'll make it easy and vote for T-Pain featuring Akon to knock that out.
This tournament reminds of the WWF game I played on the N64 at a party which had a Royal Rumble mode and we played I believe 50 characters. That was such the longest and most painful 2+ hours of my life.

Ouch. Yeah, when it's more than 30 people, it just becomes pro wrestling's version of a NASCAR race. My friends and I played Royal Rumble on Playstation all the time. That and hardcore matches were really the only ones worth playing back then.
So, T-Pain is out, and now Lifehouse comes in with "What I've Done" still hanging around.

So can we amend to the rules so we can get a winner before all these songs go recurrent or fall out of the top 50.

Just so everyone knows, "Whine Up" entered after Ethan's vote.
I'm voting out Paula.
29) Linkin Park - What I've Done (2)
28) Ciara - Like a Boy 27) T-Pain with Akon - Bartender 26) Lifehouse - First Time 25) Paula Deanda - Easy (2) 24) Kat Deluna with Elephant Man - Whine Up 23) Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend 22) Gym Class Heroes with Patrick Stump - Clothes Off (3 votes until entry) 21) Pink - Who Knew (6) 20) Justin Timberlake - LoveStoned (9)
So we don't lose track, I added the schedule for the next few songs coming up. "Girlfriend" comes in with my vote.
OK, I noticed czarina didn't wait the requisite two songs before voting again (though it got kinda confusing during that portion of voting). But since I just wanna see if we can get this game to a conclusion, let's just amend the rule so you can vote after at least two other people have voted.

I'm stepping in to vote off "Girlfriend" so that we can be one step closer to having our re-voters come back to vote it off too.

LOL. I'll second the vote to get rid of "Girlfriend".
