tl;dr
Submit one* song for each of the 8 categories below. I give them points based on how much they fit, how much I like them, and a bunch of other minor parameters.
I'll listen to them and do (?bi-)weekly reveals. Probably live on Discord.
That's basically it!
You should submit to this!
* or two/three, it may depend on the category
Spoiler: So, how does this work exactly?
To partecipate, you should pick one* song that fits each category below. Here "song" is meant rather loosely to mean any piece of music.
Don't fret if you don't have a full set of perfect picks; for one thing I'll drop your lowest scorer,
and
I will generally err toward giving more point for category fitness as long as I can think of a silly argument to. The descriptions of the categories are left intentionally vague.
To submit, PM me on MS with the following format:
category 1: link/to/song1
[...]
catergory 8: link/to/song8
where the links point to the song. Youtube links are preferred (but please avoid youtu.be urls); but other sources are also perfectly fine, except that I don't have spotify.
I will randomize your submission in such a way that I won't know who sent me what song; I will apply a small point penalty if I guess the submitter correctly. The exact point system is detailed below, after the category list.
Please note that
you are allowed to change your submission at any point before the third reveal.
Spoiler: category 8: grab bag
This is a special category subdivided in multiple subcategories. When submitting,
only pick one
and specify which subcategory you have picked. I will give some additional points to players submitting the least popular subcategory.
Spoiler:
Each song will receive a in a scale from 0 to 30. This just signifies how much I liked the song.
Each song will receive a in a scale from 0 to 30. This signifies how much I think the song fits the category.
Each song's is a number from 0 to 30 calculated in the following way:
H=(3E+2F)/5
Each song will receive a between -4 and +4. High scores mean the song is completely unfamiliar to me. I will likely not go below 0 unless it's a song that I've heard multiple times.
Each song may receive a number of by winning medals, as described below. Some medals confer negative points.
The of each song is calculated in the following way:
S=H+U+B-x
where x is 1 if I guess the submitter correctly, and 0 otherwise.
Spoiler:
First/Second/Third best Enjoyment score
-- given to the songs I like the most in each category; worth 5/4/3 points.
First/Second/Third best Fitness score
-- given to the songs that fit the category best; worth 4/3/2 points.
-- given to the song, if there is any, that has both the lowest enjoyment score and the lowest fitness score; worth 3 points.
-- given to songs that I think would fit better in another category; worth -1 points.
-- given to songs that aren't on Youtube; worth 1 point (this is mostly to counterbalance the fact that I will likely find it harder to anonymise such submissions)
-- given to the song in category 8 that is in a subcategory nobody else has picked; worth 4 points.
-- given to songs in category 8 that are in the least popular subcategory, provided they are not awarded the Nonconformism medal; worth 2 points.
Moreover, there are a bunch of secret medals that will be revealed as soon as some song wins them:
Anagraphism (+1):
for songs that fit the category's name
more than its actual description
Laser Scope (-0.75):
the name of the song suggests that it should fit the category.
Uno pro puncto...
(-0.5):
for songs that, not considering this medal, would need 0.1 points or less to have the best Final Score.
Lapidarity (+0.1):
for songs lasting less than 2 minutes.
Ultra Lapidarity (+0.2):
for songs lasting less than 1 minute.
Ibis Redibis
(+10 Fitness points):
for submissions that miss the intended category, but ace a completely unintended one, technically allowed by the category's name.
Δ (+1.5):
for songs with a 7-points delta (or greater) between their Enjoyment and Fitness score.
The late bird gets no worm (-10):
for songs that were submitted at the very last moment

I'll probably do this!
Also, make sure you don't get ypur two "F" permutations confused. I'd probably recommend changing one of them.

I didn't put an expected time yet since I will need to wait to have a credible amount of players to start and I don't really have an idea how much it would take. But anyway, assuming it will be possible, the plan is to start in the second half of october

On sepia it’s way closer to blue than the other themes, maybe pink ball is just a mafsepia believer

Oh, well don't I feel like a bit of a shit...
I was making a joke with good intent, I'm really sorry if that is the case PB. You needn't say anything, I do apologize.

Lol I'm not colorblind I'm just stupid but thanks for the consideration. It's more like a purple now that I compare it with the normal username color (Haschel's would be a light blue)
Edit: yeah I use MafSilver, I had to look back how it looks in MafBlack and there is much more obvious; in MafSilver, the normal registered username is what I would call blue
