Revolving Baby Walrus | Round 3 - Tabulating

Current Status
  • Round 3, hosted by Skygazer, is being tabulated but schadd_ was announced as the winner
  • schadd_ has tentatively agreed to host Round 4; details to come
In-thread Ping List
  • tris & T3 would like to be pinged in thread by the current host for submissions
The Gist

tl;dr. The current host tells you what kind of song they want you to send. Send them a song. If you do well, you get to host next.
  1. The host of the round will announce criteria for one category of songs and a submission deadline. They might give a lot of details to explain the category, or they might not. They might cap the number of submissions that they have time to review.
  2. Players should privately submit a song to the host by the deadline.
  3. The host will grade the songs based on adherence to the category and general enjoyability. They might give a bonus to songs they are unfamiliar with.
  4. The host will reveal the scores. They might host a live reveal on discord and stream the song submissions, or just post the scores in the thread, depending on their preference and availability.
  5. The winning player will have the opportunity to be the next host. If they are not interested or hosted recently and would rather give a new host a chance, the opportunity will pass to 2nd place, and so on until a new host has been chosen. The winner has 5 days maximum to respond, and any additional candidates have 3 days before the opportunity passes to the next candidate.
  6. We will try to keep up a leaderboard of sorts in the OP of this thread. Format TBD.
FAQ

How do I play this?
  • If the current round is accepting song submissions, check out the guidelines the host posted and then send them a song. MafiaScum PM should work. If you're both on the MafiaScum discord, DMing them will probably also work.
  • If the current round is waiting on the host to reveal, hold on until it's time for the next round.
How do we keep the thread from dying young?
  • If a host goes for 4 weeks without revealing scores, any community member can prod the host and announce that they were prodded.
  • If the host does not do their reveal within 2 weeks of a documented prod, any community member may declare themselves the new host and announce a new category.
  • It would be great if the MIA host follows up eventually with a reveal, but the winner of the MIA host's round will not win the opportunity to be the next host, because the thread has moved forward.
Is there a set scoring rubric or is it up to each host?
  • Up to the host if they want to borrow someone else's rubric or post their own. For the leaderboard, we probably need to set the first place score of a round at a constant value though.
What information might I want to give players if I'm hosting?
  • You may use the template within the spoiler tag as a starting point:
Spoiler: Template

Code: Select all

[u]Category[/u]
Title: (e.g. "something I normally don't like" / "makes me smile")
Details:

Last day/time to submit:
Maximum # of submissions: (e.g. No cap)

category 1: somewhat annoying but also a banger
  • songs that have string instruments or are in the reggaeton genre might be more likely to fit this category than other songs, but I am sure there is a wide variety of stuff that would
  • in general, I expect that I am more likely to find a given song annoying than the average bear bc I get overstimulated
  • in general, it will probably take less effort to submit something I am unfamiliar with than the average person. hope that helps!
submission deadline: end of day October 11th
(expired on 2023-10-12 00:00:00)

# of submissions so far: currently 11

I am going to test out-
2 point for unfamiliarity/pleasant surprise factor
9 points for fitting the category
9 points for how good the song was

and then try to grade on a curve for the leaderboard so that whoever got first place overall gets 10 points toward that. whoever hosts next can do what they want tho

Hi Jackson, looks to me like you understood this right, but I did just add more detail to the OP to try to make it more obvious to a brand new person what's going on. Hopefully that helps the next person in your boat
