I'm just a little worried that other people won't have a go now I will sit out the next round for a while, I will only submit answers if no-one else does.

Dreamline Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I don't know exactly how soon I could manage this - but would anyone be interested if I were to take up the reins to bring this contest back?

I would like to see it altered a little...and my idea is: 1. Make the clips a bit longer - perhaps 1.25 or 1.5 seconds instead of 0.75s to make it a bit easier to identify the clips. 2. The clips used to be picked randomly - i.e. the organiser would choose a song and a randomly chosen 0.75s clip would be used. Problem comes when that clip is just 0.75s of complete silence, which has happened on a couple of occasions in the past. People give up if its too difficult. 3. Set each round for say, one week. Make it just one guess per person. However many are correct is how many points that person gets...then set a league table up with the points scored. Set a target of say, the first person to reach 50 points is the winner. We used to have prizes for this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, but I've no idea how to do the clips. There's never been a great take-up on this compy, but I'd want to deliberately make it simpler to get things going.

Set a target of say, the first person to reach 50 points is the winner. We used to have prizes for this game Well I had no idea the comp was that unsubscribed. I only played in the last round but it seemed as if there were a few people playing it. I understand what you are saying about the difficulty - but given the rules as they stand (stood?) it seemed to be fair enough - everyone was learning off everyone else's guesses. I could certainly stretch to 1.5 secs per clip instead of .75sec but would that make it too easy? I certainly wouldn't use random segments from a song - I would choose segments that IMO were identifiable - but only if you knew your stuff! I'm not keen on the idea of only one set of guesses per person - as those answering later would get clues from the earlier guesses - if a timelimit of (say) 5 days was set, everyone would wait for 4.5 days to see what everyone else was guessing! I kinda like the rules the way they were (in that respect anyway) I have a montage prepared of non-Rush songs that *I* think is fairly easy. I don't know if I have a copy here at home or if it is at my place of work - I may post that one when I find it just to test the waters - I'd ideally like to bring back the Rush themed quiz but as I have this one already prepared (that I ran on another message board) I may go with that first to see who is interested. If the management/moderators have no objection I'd like to post that one here in the Rush-themed forum, just to get people interested - then I'd make another Rush-based one that fits into this forum better. Can someone in a position of authority give me the OK to post that here to test the water? I promise if it is successful, the next one will be Rush-themed - I don't really want to switch forums half way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamline Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I sent Moonraker a PM back in December about starting a non-Rush version of this thread (back while Slaine was still running the Rush version) - never got a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
