Subject: August SOTM 2013 Voting Thread

Written By: Max Power on 09/18/13 at 11:59 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, while all points will be forfeited, an entrant who has been disqualified may still participate next month if (s)he goes back and comments on all entrants from the month (s)he got disqualified prior to the end of the entry field (s)he is trying to get involved in.

~~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, no exceptions.

~~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

Now that you know the rules again, let's get it on!

Considering how the unthinkable delay that happened, who's here in favor of a week extention?

1st:    21                        -> 2nz: "In Coxsackie"
2nd:  17 (2 5point votes)  -> Blaydeman: "I Swear That Painting Has Eyes"
3rd: 17 (1 5point vote) -> WeirdAbbott: "No, Really, She Can't Stop"
4th: 17                      -> Matthias: "Sugar High, I'd Watch Cartoons"
5th: 13                      -> TCOP: "Wolfsbane"
6th: 5                        -> Max Power: "Rabid Dog"

Congrats to all, and thanks for the nice welcome back. Makes me wish I had more time have fun and write and read on the site.

Sorry to kind of steal that gold from you, Blayde. If would have just accepted being late, you would have been on top. But hey, now you get gold and I go from nothing to bronze! Win-win!

Thanks everyone who voted for me, I'll make sure to tell Miley (when her head stops spinning).

And the FUCA this month goes to both Matthias and TCOP! "99 Red Balloons" has podiumed before, however Matthias parodied "99 Luftballoons" which is technically the same song, but it's kind of not. So I decided to give it to both of you! Hurray!
