Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[The Ozzman]

For anyone who missed the theme that HBB posted a few pages back, it's SEMANTIC ARGUMENTS ABOUT GEOGRAPHICAL TERMS. I hope my first pick isn't taken.

I was involved in this and I even lol'd at this quote

Baroque's idea to start the playlist (about oceans) by submitting a song about a river that eventually reaches an ocean is creative and the kind of thought I really appreciate in these games.

Once again though, anything short of blatantly obvious is struck down by the small-minded in here. They want a David Attenborough documentary of oceans set to music.

All valid points. Except that your favourite metal band proves he was wrong:

Not an ocean in sight.

 

[CiG]

Hahaha.

there's a fine line between creativity and laziness sometimes - i downrated this and i try to push for and reward creativity. now that he's explained his thinking it seems more creative to me - initially this just seemed like a strained justification. i preferred the song that won though so w/e.

Song about a river that runs into the ocean opening the playlist? Perhaps you ought to promote against laziness of your own thinking, rather than others?

 

[no country for old wainds]

... it didn't open the playlist.

 

[Baroque]

CIG gets it

 

[CiG]

I'm aware. I'm talking about this comment he made and was then criticised for.

It would have made a decent intro to the playlist.

well jesus, don't conflate me with elric and ozzman, i'm not that autistic

Full disclosure I foresaw this entire debate before I even chose that song, and that is Why I chose it instead of something more blatantly on theme. I also planned to act like a pretentious douche about it well in advance. and specifically not choose for it to be first so that the debate could happen. I figured it would be a fun act, fit my forum character, while simultaneously encouraging creativity and outside the box thinking. I'm probably the biggest asshole that ever lived sometimes. But it also makes things a lot more interesting no?

 

[CiG]

Well, fuck.

 

[no country for old wainds]

in a sense you were the ocean troll fed by the forum river.

Not true. I want Samuel L. Jackson.

 

[CiG]

Not true. I want Samuel L. Jackson.

Ocean themes motherfucker do you speak it?

 

[The Ozzman]

Say tributary one more goddamn time

 

[CiG]

Biiiig kahuna river!

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

When the last round was announced somebody said something like "I have a ton of songs about the sea but none about the ocean. This theme is narrow as fuck!" I think it's safe to say that person downrated the river song.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

No, because that person was EspaDa, and EspaDa doesn't rate mixtape games.
