Too late for me to get in huh?

You guys should do a 16 person 5 song a piece tourney. That would be cool.

This looks good to me, Darth. Thanks for taking the lead!

All looks good.

Once again, there are enough songs to do a 12 team tournament with 8 songs per team. And I'd be all about joining the tourney so that DeLima could get in.

But if not, that's cool. I'll watch and enjoy and join the next one. Or DeLima and Bugs could have this one. Either way.

Definitely fine with me.

Updated to add Varis and dct. Re-ran the randomizer, new order below. Is all good? Is staring on 4/17 at 12am EDT good? dct, are you good to take over from here?

Sorry mate, Varis and dct were the last ones. However, if you kill one of us, you can join.

Can't we have 96 teams with 1 song each?

DeLima, not Varis.

Alright, sweet!

So person A could have Come as You Are unplugged and person B could have the Nevermind version. Yes?

Yeah, that's the one rule I don't like or understand.

I think Teen Spirit should be excluded, and everything else is fair game... each song only once, though... not demos, live versions, or covers...

my 0.02.

Well like Come As You Are studio and unplugged are two totally different tracks IMHO. But whatever yall wanna do.

I'll play either way...

To your point, BRLB...

IT'S THE SAME FUCKING SONG!!!

You must have a gun.

I would hope not, I'm all for ruling a song out of contention once one version has been picked.

Hang on, I just looked at the rules: can we ditch the Unplugged and live stipulations? In fact, can't we simply just run with any eight songs from the band's studio output and let things work themselves out naturally? I don't have any problem with someone stacking their team with Bleach songs if that's what they're into, for instance.
