First things first, I think this is the right place - I don't venture out of the Pokémon and RP forums much. If it isn't, please move as appropriate.
Now that's out of the way, here's an idea I got from another forum. The Battle of the Bands.
So Mr. de Verde, what exactly are you talking about?
Simply, it's a fun little way of finding out the most loved musical act on Bulbagarden.
Okay, so how does it work?
31 of us, plus myself, nominate their favourite music act. The 32 acts are then moved around and put into a knock-out bracket. To prepare this example, I just put my iTunes on shuffle to get 32 acts.
So how do you choose who goes through on each round?
I don't. Well, I don't on my own. Each division will have a voting topic open for four days, in which votes are posted. Each vote is worth one point, and if a very good reason is posted with a vote, that band gets a bonus point. For fairness, I won't be posting a reason, and my vote will be the last one in each topic. The last sixteen is done using whichever bands make it out of the divisions round and so on until there is a winner.
That's nice except for one thing - who the Arceus are Vice Squad?
I will post a link to each act's official site and/or MySpace, so you can vote on each battle, even if you haven't heard of either act.
"Battle of the Bands"? So, is it just bands?
No, but "Battle of the Bands, Solo Artists, Duos and Other Groups" isn't as catchy. Seriously though, you can nominate whoever you want as long as someone else hasn't beaten you to it. Sign-ups last four days, on a first come first served basis, with 31 bands plus a band of my choice entering the divisions.
Any more questions, post them here. Alternatively, PM me. Obviously, I won't start this without proper clearance. This is just a topic for discussing the idea.
