We're going to make our own list of the 1000 greatest metal albums of all time.
Here's how it works:
When you vote, you do the following:
1. say who you're voting after, like this: "after CrimsonFloyd"
2. copy the board and paste it into your post
3. add 2 points to one album on the board, add 1 point to another album, and subtract 1 point from an album
4. list the albums you've voted for in that order, so for instance: "Paranoid / Nightside Eclipse / Number of the Beast" means you've added 2 pts to Paranoid, 1 pt to Nightside Eclipse, and subtracted 1 pt from Number of the Beast.
5. A player cannot use the same positive vote (i.e. +2 or) for the same album on back to back turns. For example, if I vote +2 for Master of Puppets on my first turn, I cannot vote +2 for Master of Puppets on my second turn, but I can give it my +1 vote.
6. A player can use his or her negative vote for the same album as many times as he or she wants.
You can vote every 5 hours - at least 5 hours must pass between your votes. If you use clones to cheat at this, you are taking it way too seriously, loser.
Some more rules:
- When an album has a lead of 7 points over all the other albums on the board, it is enshrined on our list of greatest albums OR if an album gets 30 points. The first album to achieve enshrinement is our #1 greatest album; the second is our #2 and so on.
- The board can never have more than 20 albums on it at once.
- If the board has less than 20 albums, you can add an album to it just by voting for it. You can use your +2 vote or your +1 vote to do that. Obviously if an album has already been enshrined, you cannot add it to the board again, so watch out for that.
- If an album on the board is voted down to zero points, it is removed from the board, but it can be added again.
- The 2nd post of this thread will have a list of albums enshrined on our "greatest" list.
- Real albums. No "greatest hits" or whatever. Lots of great bands don't have albums. Too bad for them.
I did this before on a nonmetal forum and it was fun and started a lot of good debate. I'd like to try it in a metal forum.
