Subject: Artistry Round 13 (Incubus) RESULTS POSTED*****

Written By: skittlesking on 10/26/07 at 5:38 am

As stated prior to this thread, VOTING is worth points.  If you vote and did not enter this contest, you will get 3 points towards the overall 5 year standings in the Artistry contest.  When you vote as an entrant in this round, you recieve 5 points for voting. . .that means no one who votes ends with no points. . . .

Anyway, the rules are pretty similar to other contests.  This is round 13 so please know that ALL rounds will count EQUALLY toward the final standings, and NO rounds will be omitted from the final total.

1. All participants must comment on all entrants and vote by the deadline, which for this rounds is Novemberr 8th,  2007.  Failure to vote will forfeit all points from this round, and if that is less than 20 points, the difference will be forfeited in the following round (No Disqualifications)

2. Voting will take place by replying to this thread

3. If a person withdraws from an Artistry Round prior to the end of a round, all entrants who voted for that person's entry will be permitted to pick one new song to earn a bonus point, all other songs will be realigned accordingly.  There will be no penalty on those who don't change their vote.

4. Once a vote is posted, it cannot be changed UNLESS rule 3 applies OR there was a double-vote by accident.

5. Late entries will be accepted until the 1st vote has been posted.

6. The deadline is a strict deadline, the moment the date has reached the day after the deadline, no votes will count, this is to reduce last minute voting, or sympathy/favoritism towards different entrants.

7. We ask that any entrant who posts a link to his/her original song (source of parody) not be DKTOS for the contest.

8. All other basic competition rules as applied in other competitions are generally followed.  The rules may not be changed or altered unless two/thirds of those voting in a round where a rule change is requested agrees.  Rules may be added by host (Below Average Dave) if it was a rule in the ABC or SOTM contest that was thought to be common knowledge, but not known by a particular entrant.

Deadline:
EST (New York) November 11th at midnight
Central (St. Louis): November 11th at 11pm
Mountain (Denver): November 11th at 10pm
Pacific (Los Angeles): November 11th  at 9pm
Sydney, AUS: November 12th at 2pm
The UK: November 12th at 5am

IMPORTANT: You can enter UNTIL the first person has cast his/her vote. . .it is at that point the entry list is final. . .

Alright Guys, Everyone who votes should pick a top 5, those who aren't in this round but think they may enter a future round or have entered a past round may vote to earn 3 points. . .and remember, if you missed the entry date, you can still enter if it's before the first vote gets cast.

:-\\ My version of Pardon Me will be submitted today. However, for those of you who are on time and wish to vote, PLEASE VOTE. If nothing else, I'll support the contest by giving everyone a shove upwards from the bottom... ;)

Updated as of 4:10 EST: Nix that. Guess I won't be entering. Gotta stay and work late, and since I'm stuck behind a massive firewall, I can't access YouTube to properly pace the rest of my parody with the OS. It would be unfair to delay the contest, so vote away, citizens. This has been a public service announcement.

Guys, if it hasn't already been made clear, I HATED this round.  8-P Incubus, by nature of their song structures and hookless melodies, is just not amenable for parody writing, and for my tastes they have brought our collective parody-writing skills to the ultimate test with very little to show for it. Meh, meh, and meh.

Everyone gets a 555 regular vote just for putting up with this, BTW, whether or not I personally liked any of the parodies.  :)

5pts=B.A.D.
4pts=Matthias
3pts=Red Ant
2pts=Conqueror
1pt=Rex

EDIT: hell, karamel for everyone, too. Maybe Alice In Chains will cheer me up.... ;D

Well Matthias. . .your parody for this round really got me going, but. . .voting for you could cost me a victory. . .so

5th, 1 Point to Matthias The Conqueror of Parodies (sorry buddy it just wasn't my favorite by you)

4th, 2 Points to Matthias Rex Ungericht (Awesome for what you had to work with!)

3rd, 3 Points to Matthias Agrimorfee (Excellent Roast)

2nd, 4 Points to Matthias Red Ant (May not have struck me like a typical RA Parody, but still amazing)

1st, 5 Points go to anyone but Matthias Matthias. . .LOL  Seriously, one of your best to date, I couldn't possibly give anything but a perfect 5 for this, and even after you called last night to let me know my vote could make the difference between the two of our ranks---wouldn't ever let a potential victory for me alter my voting, you deserve this one, Dare is good, but your parody is one of your best to date. . .Congrats as I'm pretty sure this seals your victory!
