Subject: November 2008 SOTM RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 12/08/08 at 1:31 am

Note to new participants: Welcome, and good luck. Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by the end of the month. The SOTM is not so much a contest as a feedback exchange. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, either in this thread or via personal message. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

~~Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:
1st choice- 5 points
2nd place- 4 points
3rd place- 3 points
4th place- 2 points
5th place- 1 point.

~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it.

~~Voting continues until the last day of the month ends.

~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.

~~By entering, you are agreeing to read and comment on all the other entries and vote.

~~Anyone who enters but does not both comment on all entries and vote by the end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month.

~~In the event of a tie, the parody with the most first place votes wins.
If it's still tied, the parody with the most second place votes wins. and so on
If the points total and votes are identical, it will be left as a legitimate tie

~~Any entrant whose votes don't show a time stamp prior to midnight on the last day of the month (ie. according to the "inthe00's meantime" clock as it appears BEFORE you log in - not a timezone corrected version) is disqualified, without exception.

~~A medal known as the FUCA shall be awarded to the highest ranking parody which did not make the month's podium and is of an original song which has not previously earned any medal

I'm sorry-Guy actually asked to be removed from this month because he'd be unable to participate, he said something personal came up, and I told him since the comp hadn't started yet, I'd just leave his out--perhaps I should have put a number in his spot with (Entry Removed) sorry about that.

Dave - I only asked if there was a penalty for withdrawing early.  I guess I kind of left it understood that I would have removed it if I was going to not compete.  Sorry.  i guess I wasn't specific enough. I commented and voted on all but Ethan's since it came in after I finished my comments and votes on Amiright.  I had considered staying in since all I had left to do was vote.

Probably one of the best months ever, at least three or four of these parodies could have won several of the other rounds this year, and the battle for fifth was almost as fierce IMHO.

1 Point: "Untrained Dog"

2 Points: "Stunt Guy"

3 Points: "Please Don't Revoke My (Poetic) License"

4 Points: "Wall-E"

5 Points: "Wanna Use Oxymorons"

HM and HNY to all!  :)

******************************************
1. 2nz with "Wanna Use Oxymorons (47)

2. Ethan Mawyer with "Please Don't Revoke My Poetic License" (35)

3. Jeff Reuben with "Rob Me I'm a Tourist" (24)
******************************************

4. Matthias (19)

5. MasonR (15)

6. Agrimorfee (12) **FUCA WINNER**

7. Below Average Dave (11)

8. The Conqueror of Parodies (9)

9. Guy DiRito (3) (Tie Breaker)

10. Peter Andersson (3)

11. Stuart McArthur (2)

12. Max Power (Honorable Mention)

"Call Me" by Blondie has never appeared on the podium, and therefore, Agrimorfee's "Wall-E" is the highest ranked song that hasn't podiumed in the past which wasn't on the podium this month.

Congratulations to 2nz, Ethan Mawyer and Jeff Reuben on the podiums, and yet again to Agrimorfee--winner of the FUCA--his 4th one, the 2nd most of all AmIRight SOTM Contestant--no need to mention who has five, I'm just glad Agri's parody kept it from being six. . .See you all in December

Damn, I forgot Boy Toy placed. I was going to say "Yay! At least I get the FUCA!" but no, just 4th place...

Congrats to 2nz, Ethan and Jeff for the medals.

Condolences to Matthias for again not getting a FUCA, it's a tad surprising (on the positive side) that this was the third month in a row when 4th place wasn't enough for that. What can I say, with together nine out of eleven FUCAs so far it seems two single authors here are in their own private clash for FUCA:er of the year!  :P

With one month left, I know I will be at the least the Co-FUCA--if Agri wins one more we can share the title, it's so odd that me and Agri seem to win them all, I know my next month won't be my 6th FUCA. . .but hey I take on songs outside the box all the time--as does Agri--so it can be expected to. . .

Congrats Ethan and Jeff on two excellently written songs deserving of their medals.

Thank you all so much for supporting my work. I truly enjoy the community here on amiright, it has helped me develop as a writer in ways that otherwise would not have been possible, and exposes me to so much talent and quality work. I originally started posting here because it was fun to make fun of songs, then the comments and the quest for 5s kept me coming back. In the past I was able to find more time to read and review all the new works on the site. I've become somewhat of a slacker since then. I love these tourneys because it keeps me exposed to new works on the site and keeps me on my toes. Thank you all again

-Glen
