Well...the rest of us can vote still, right?  Do you want us to vote for our top two?  If nobody else finishes?  Or rank all three?

I was thinking since we only got 2 people to write anything for this round do you want to scrap this round and add a round 11?

Mixed emotions.  For MY sake...it's a great idea.  ;)

But, I feel bad scrapping the efforts of those of you who actually DID the assignment.  HOWEVER...it does kind of suck, too, to have such little competition. 

What if those who submitted for this round get some automatic bonus points, for their efforts?

I say we still vote on this round and these 3 people get the points they deserve, BUT we add a round 11 that would be of a MUCH easier genre of music than Hip/Hop and Rap.

Well, an eleventh round kinda deflates the point of the Decathlon, but this wasn't much of a round, so it evens out, yes? Now: to voting!

5 points to One 2nz To Rule Them All
4 points to Matthias And Hobbes

Well, that was fun.

What if I make it a bonus round? Instead of an 11th round? (Gotta love them loopholes  ;))

Or, we could retro-actively declare this round as the Super Fun Happy Challenge Bastard Round, and just have a normal ten rounds. Either way works for me (though I do have a preference for my idea...mainly cuz it's mine ;))

Sorry guys, I've been on vacation the last week and never had the time to do this one.  I'll be back for round 3.

Here's mine:

5 points: #1. Matthias with "Calvin And Hobbes" (Woot, Calvinball)

4 points: #3. Conqueror of Parodies with "Bloody Sick Of Twilight" (Makes me glad I missed Twilight :c])


Soooo... in reviewing the math... 9 point bonus for us three?

Also, I second the Super Fun Happy Challenge Bastard Round.

Am I seriously the only other person who's going to vote?  Man...

Well...

5 points for 2nzy
4 points for Matty
3 points for Conq

...and 100 points for me...if nobody else shows up with votes.  ;)

Come on, everyone else in the "too lame to get one written for this round" group.  These three totally kicked our butts...just by finishing.  They deserve to be read and acknowledged.  Seriously.  I can't judge anyone for not submitting for the round...but EVERYONE can vote.
