Answers in, round 2 was harder to just pick one song

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 31-08-2021

3 Hour Warning for @nothing (or any newcomers who want to join in) to PM me an answer.

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 31-08-2021

Everyone from Round 1 is now in and we have a new player joining us for Round 2 as E.N. has also thrown his hat in the ring. Welcome aboard. If any other lurkers wish to get an entry in my PMs will remain open until 8pm for Round 2 newcomers.

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 31-08-2021

Once again all 5 songs in this Round were selected...

But was there another obvious frontrunner this time around?

Or will we have a more even spread of votes per song?

Time to find out...


RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 31-08-2021

A bit more divergence than Round 1, but still a decent enough SHEEP, and only one Ace this time around...

Question 2: Round 2

Good Charlotte - The Anthem - 5
Kol
Necro
Sawduck
ShaneU
Spears

Fionn - Dirty Dancing - 2
ari101
cee_jay

HAIM - Don't Save Me - 2
E.N.
Irish Aris

James Blunt - Wisemen - 2
jp liz v1
Neowise

ACES - 1:

Incubus - Anna Molly - nothing

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 31-08-2021

Good Charlotte - The Anthem will be joining Avril Lavigne in Semi-Final 1 as we bid farewell to 4 more songs...

As much as I love all the songs that appear here Good Charlotte would've been the last of them to secure my own vote from those 5, so I certainly wouldn't have been part of the SHEEP for this one. Would've been a tough call for me to choose between Fionn and HAIM, but I would have had a vote in on one of those two.

Same as yesterday, feel free to discuss the Round 2 songs, but bear in my end that Good Charlotte will be part of the Semi-Final SHEEP question so maybe avoid statements like "I'm going to pick this every single time" or "It's bound to win the entire game" etc. etc. so as not to influence how people pick their answers later in the game.

Leaderboard after Round 2, sees 4 people pull away from the rest of the group, but still plenty of game left to play, and there may even be an opportunity to amass some bonus points that could shake things up before the game is done too.

Scores after question 2:

12 - ShaneU
12 - Sawduck
12 - Necro
12 - Kol
9 - jp liz v1
9 - Neowise
9 - ari101
6 - Spears
3 - cee_jay
3 - Irish Aris
2 - nothing
2 - E.N.

I'm starting to think I have very different musical taste to everyone else...

Nah, there's no wrong answers in this SHEEP because I chose all the songs and they're all great, so your musical taste is spot on... pac

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - Spears - 31-08-2021

I did kinda like the Fionn song, but I sold my soul for the last round and went with what I thought would Sheep rather than what I like best, because I didn't want to ace again  Big Grin

I would like to thank Soapy for introducing Fionn to my life Big Grin

I'm just glad a couple of people liked that one - wasn't sure if it was one anyone would appreciate.

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - ari101 - 31-08-2021

Yeah, I went with 'feck trying to sheep' and picked Fionn, HAIM was a close second, great music from my perspective. Delighted to get new finds!

Smile

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - jp liz v1 - 31-08-2021

Being blunt I thought it was wise picking James but I was wrong

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - E.N. - 31-08-2021

I don't even need to listen to day 3, i know what's getting my vote Big Grin

I will listen to them though, but I'm 99% certain, absolutely love one of those tracks

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 01-09-2021

Have received answers from all but @Kol @ari101 and @Spears - no rush though, you've got until 8pm

Yeah we all know what a big One Direction fan you are...

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - Kol - 01-09-2021

Will get my pick in a bit later @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - ari101 - 01-09-2021

I'm torn amongst a few today... nothing I dislike on the list... Smile

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 01-09-2021

Final boarding call for @Spears that this airplane will be departing as scheduled at 8pm. pac 

If you miss out on the day you'll receive zero points for that round, but can of course hop back in for future rounds.

First day that it was very easy for me, one song really stood out!

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 01-09-2021

Moving into Round 3 a new player enters the fray as Wichita Lineman joins us on this journey...

One song was left out in the cold today as New Radicals - Someday We'll Know failed to garner any support (you absolute monsters, I love that song) so how much of a split does that mean went down amidst the other four...

All of our four front-runners who had hit the SHEEP in the first two rounds all went in different directions this time around, but will that make any difference to the overall scores...

Time to find out...


RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 01-09-2021

It looked like the SHEEP was going another way earlier this afternoon, but a surge of votes came in for one song over the past few hours...

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 01-09-2021

Mike + The Mechanics - Over My Shoulder will be progressing to Semi-Final 1 where it shall face off against Avril Lavigne and Good Charlotte.

Seemed to be a tough round there for some of you and even though it didn't receive any actual votes, New Radicals at least got a few mentions in the PM's, so I'm happy that it got the nod of acknowledgement anyway... pac

Same as always, feel free to discuss the Round 3 songs, but bear in mind that Mike + The Mechanics will be part of the Semi-Final SHEEP question so maybe avoid statements like "I'm going to pick this every single time" or "It's bound to win the entire game" etc. etc. so as not to influence how people pick their answers later in the game.

Leaderboard after Round 3 sees a shift amongst the frontrunners as Kol takes the overall lead, but still a close enough race overall, and not a bad start for Wichita Lineman despite being late to the party...

Staind - Fade



Travis - Sing



RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - ari101 - 01-09-2021

New Radicals song is great, you generally hear the one massive hit played these days only, but I love this one two, however I love Mike and the Mechanics equally so I'm glad in my thinking that it was the sheepier choice Big Grin

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - Kol - 01-09-2021

I thought 1D might have given Mike a run there but there was always only one winner for me.

Wasn't gone on that Klaxxon cover at all, surprised it got so much love.

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - Irish Aris - 01-09-2021

Klaxon's whole album Myths Of The Near Future is really great.
I had Golden Skans stuck on repeat for the first couple of years after its release.

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - jp liz v1 - 01-09-2021

I don't regret picking 1D love that track so catchy

Its a belter of an album, absolutely love it!

I do like the New Radicals and Mike and the Mechanics too, but it would need something special to top Klaxons for me

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - E.N. - 01-09-2021

I know all of today's tracks. Got a good idea of what will sheep but it won't be what I'm voting for Tongue

Cry Cry Cry nooooo!


so sorry, wednesday evening is a late work night for me. 

and I don't know how I missed the posted songs yesterday when I was online. I could have submitted if I had actually read the thread properly and seen them  Dodgy 


Also, seen as I don't want to take personal responsibility for my fuck up's when I'm sulking, I'm also gonna blame it on the fact that I don't get notifications here for new posts, or when I'm tagged. tut tut

You may want to have a look at your alert settings in your User CP, by default I think you should be getting them, so you may have unticked some boxes at some point... I get notifications if I'm tagged, and I know you can for new posts too (I have that one turned off myself).

Plenty of time for you to catch up again though...

Oh as I listen, I do know more!

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 02-09-2021

Friendly midday-ish reminder for @ari101 @ShaneU @Neowise and @Kol not to forget to get an entry in by 8pm.

RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 02-09-2021

Round 4 became a battle between only 3 songs as Queens of the Stone Age - First It Giveth and Staind - Fade failed to make enough of impression by comparison.

So the question now is were you polling for Prefab Sprout, rallying for Radiohead, or backing team Travis?

Time to find out...


RE: AlphaSHEEP SURLAW X-travaganza: When Games Collide - RSOAPS - 02-09-2021

Team Travis was the place to be on this one as Sing SHEEPS significantly...
