Subject: Artistry Round 85 (Queen) RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Matthias on 11/17/10 at 11:08 pm

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 receive 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 85 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 December 1st, 2010.  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) December 1st/2nd at midnight
Central (St. Louis): December 1st at 11pm
Mountain (Denver): December 1st at 10pm
Pacific (Los Angeles): December 1st at 9pm

Mark

Does the number that you use in your vote return mean place or point?  - Does 1 mean 1 point or first place?  It's a bit cryptic what you mean - like hanging chad.

That's how I've been treating it, I never even thought about it being ranks, I just figured 5 to meant points, Thank you Guy for asking, I'm glad I've been getting it right, never really thought about it.

I'm just happy to podium this round seeing that my parody is like 5 years old and blasphemous (I'm surprised that Guy, T-Cop and Mark actually gave it votes because I know that they're actually pretty religious).

Congrats to T-Cop and Rex for tying for first this round (For some reason we can't stop Rex from winning. How many rounds has it been now 5 or 6? Geeze!)

Yeah, I've noticed lately, Rex is on quite a streak. . .as strong as he is he keeps getting better. . .I think I've felt his was best or next to it in the last . . .well I've lost count, I know its a lot of rounds. . .

(I'm surprised that Guy, T-Cop and Mark actually gave it votes because I know that they're actually pretty religious).


Good point. Let's just say that I've learnt when to take something seriously (like someone walking up to me outside church and saying what I believe in is as stupid as believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden) and when not to (like a parody on a comedy website). I try to be tolerant of everyone's beliefs, I don't say that they're wrong or try and force what I believe onto them, I let them say what they want, as long as it's not overtly attacking (which I don't believe your parody to be doing - I saw it as being so over-the-top that it went from offensive to amusing, kinda like your "Prude Boy" parody). I'm not a crazy fundamentalist Christian, I know how to take the piss out of myself. This is how I feel, I'm not speaking for Guy and Mark (speaking for someone else without their permission on touchy subjects like this is what is commonly known as "bloody stupid").

I hope that makes sense, I'm not really experienced in this sort of thing.

Matt - Me religious?  With all respect, you have a misguided perception of who I am and what I believe.  God cares not about religion.  This is something man made.  What I have is more like a personal relationship with my Maker and especially His Son.  I voted for your parody because it presented as fair and unbiased.  You started out by dealing with satan and that part was hard to read but then you got down to the nitty gritty and gave God His due.  More people need to believe that there is a satan. 

You did a service by telling people that he does exist because only through the Son can his mischief be dealt with.  We are far too weak and no match for him.  Because you told a story somewhat like a Southern preacher it impressed me enough to vote for your work.  I simply recognize that The Savior redeemed us all and in doing so He left a wrapped gift in every person's life on this planet.  All I did was accept that gift and open it.  It's an easy concept and act to accomplish.  The real test is living up to what He taught us. 

Anyway congrats on your podium finish - I am happy for you.  Also congrats to COP and that awesome writer named Rex.
