Which spin off should be 55th? (ROUND 1) - DDL: 24th January 18:19

[Krishoes]

Me and [MENTION=14505]Lupus[/MENTION] decided we will host the Blind Spin-Off if it wins without taking part in it with our entries and we accept [MENTION=10140]cegs5[/MENTION] idea and rules.

So we will have, in case, a contest WITH banners showing nations/artists/songtitles.

So maybe we will write to you which region we take and you only write the name of region in the confirmation topic but without who took it, so it can be blind?

apart from my #shamelesspromotion #SlutPopFTW

I have suggestion (if blind win),

how if the show doesn't have any banner, just MP3 files, where the files have been edited (the titles, singer, etc) into simply "Song #1", "Song #2", and so on.

It's easier for the host to organize the show

*yeah, it requires the participants to download the mp3 files,

Thanks [MENTION=13024]revallsay[/MENTION] and [MENTION=9461]nekoisneko[/MENTION] for your suggestions!

Rev: People will send in their entry to us as usual and they will probably have to avoid posting in the confirmation thread, as otherwise people will be able to say "oh well Rev's just said she's in and suddenly Poland's been confirmed, so she must be Poland".

Neko: We're trying to keep this as simple as possible. It's already spawned a lot of discussion and we feel that it is pointless hiding the entries' regions/singer/title etc as people will recognise them. We're trusting people not tell each other what they've sent and I don't think it makes much difference hiding things as you suggest. If people really want to find out which songs they're listening to, then they can listen for lyrics, note them down and almost definitely find something on Google which tells them the song. It just seems like a lot of work for no real result.

Sorry if I bring back "the pointless hiding the entries" discussion, AFAIK that's the main idea of Blind Spin Off, no one knows what's the title of the song, who's singing the song, where this song comes from, etc. even if the song is popular or Mega Hit.

if you put every info in the banner, then this is not Blind Spin Off
no different with last spin off, (I even didn't remember who took which region in the last spin off)

When I read Cesar's original post, I took it to mean that we wouldn't know who sent what, which is normally the case (see the confirmation thread to find out who took which region/country). I clarified this with Cesar when people came up with other suggestions and he said that he was fine with the banners having the information as usual. As it's his suggestion, I presume that we do as we do normally and go with what the person who suggested it says. I know that people keeping pointing out the previous version of this, but we are under no obligation to follow that one to the letter. Consequently, I feel that we are doing what we should be and it is a blind spinoff as long as people don't tell each other what they've sent (which is a potential problem however we organise it).

Well, since the one who suggests this theme is fine, then go with it

Blind spin-off 2: We have had this before, but long time ago. All the players send a song secretly, we will only post that we are in but won't reveal our country/region (only the host will know everything, thus he/she won´t take part as a contestant) Besides the main event, we will also have a guessing game, where everybody guess who sent each song. So, it's in fact two spin-off in one, the song contest and the guessing game. Two possible winners! This game is based on trust and commitment of playing the guessing game.

yeah, we will have new "blind" version, and without guessing game (the game which I found pointless but fun )

 

[Lupus]

without guessing game (the game which I found pointless but fun )

Not quite sure if you're referring to this edition, but I can assure you we will have the guessing game!

 

[cegs5]

I'm sorry for creating such a confusion, when I recalled the previous Blind Spin-off I didn't remember those details of hiding all kind of information, but I was more focus on the guessing game which I find it a lot of fun.
Indeed, many of us don't remember who takes the regions in every edition, but some of us do...plus, there is alwats a list of participants and regions in the first post of the confirmation thread.
Under the same logic, I don't even remember the artists and songtitles of every entry in the previous spin-off, so I don't see the difference there either.
I still believe that posting the videos is much more simple, mp3 files are OK as well but I don't know how easy is for everyone to send them, afaik most of us send only videos in WV.
Anyways, sorry again for creating such a mess.

 

[nekoisneko]

well, AFAIR, the guessing game is a game where we guess:
1. The country
2. The player
3. sometimes the title and singer

so, yeah, there will info about #1 and #3 in the banner, what we will guess then? only the player? (which is not that interesting if compare to the info #1 and #3)

also,
I'd say this is not Blind Spin Off, but "Pseudo Blind Spin Off" because it's clearly not blind spin off, and only a little info about who sending the song that still be the secret.

And I am afraid that, a lot of people have chosen "Blind Spin Off" because they had lot of fun from the last Blind Spin Off, while in the end they will get "Pseudo Blind Spin Off"

Imagining, you and your friends are going to camping, but ended camping in someone's backyard, it is still camping tho. but less excitement and fun.

this all just my opinion about the upcoming "Blind Spin Off" (or I'd say Pseudo Blind Spin Off)

Can I suggest something for the next poll? Don't vote for Blind Spin-off (nothing against Cesar, who suggested it)

well that's what I can imagine if we go on with the next Blind Spin Off
you're going to have "Blind" song contest, but you already know the song title, singer, the country/region (what's the point then), which I found similar that you're going camping, but in the backyard (already know the situation, the place, nothing new)

Just to be clear, that was a suggestion for everyone not just you . I really DON'T LIKE the blind spin off (in every way we have to do it)

 

[Grinch]

So, Blind Spin-off it is

 

[nekoisneko]

Then,

SUGGESTION FOR EVERYONE: VOTE SLUT POP

#SlutPopFTW #It'sTimeForSlutPop #SlutPopCanBeFun #ItIsReallyFun #OrSlutPopFromIndieRecord #AlsoFun

 

[Krishoes]

So, Blind Spin-off it is

Not yet.

I kinda get the feeling that you should suggest this for the next spinoff if that's how you see it. We are following what has been suggested by Cesar and working within what he's given us. If that isn't what you want, then sorry, but suggest it for next time and if it gets chosen then it will be as you describe.

We're having this discussion now so people know exactly what they're voting for, rather than it being a horrific shock if it gets chosen and we present as suggested. We've been extremely clear about what we're offering as we don't want people to expect one thing and get something else.

So it is sexy, blind and album songs in the next round?

Almost certainly, unless a fair few people change their minds!
