Themed Mixtape Game

[Caecius]

Honestly, it should be on the theme selector to filter qualifying tracks. If the person who selected the theme allows the track, it should be rated according to theme adherence and taste of the person rating. Just to get everyone on the same page and stop down rating non-metal tracks.

You all flogged me when I did that in non metal when I found @Satanstoenail song inappropriate. And I just wanted the songs to stick to the theme.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

People should rate however they feel and stop being such whiny fucks all the time.

 

[CiG]

Of course you would say that, you whine and downrate shit constantly.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I whine about having to listen to overtly shitty music, but I don't really whine about other peoples ratings.

 

[CiG]

I whine, therefore I support everyone else whining. Just want the game to improve.

Winning is already enough work. I think it's a much better idea to let people submit what they want and let everyone roast them in the ratings. People are going to have a moan anyway, who cares.

My submission did stick to the theme, that was the problem. If the theme can't be open to interpretation, then the game basically sucks.

This.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Yeah but sometimes open to interpretation means "I like this song so I'm gonna make it fit". Meh.

True, and people should get called out/downrated for that.

 

[CiG]

That happened like twice.

On the other hand, necrophilia is an interesting take on love. People still bitched and didn't get it, because they're small-minded. Meanwhile some songs with no lyrics available get rated higher because... I don't even know why. It makes no sense.

 

[Krow]

I love how if your choice is too obvious it gets downrated and if it's not obvious enough it gets downrated.

 

[Satanstoenail]

if it's not obvious enough it gets downrated.

Except that doesn't happen.

I agree it's up to you to accept or decline a submission. But that track seemed to fit so thus the backlash.

 

[EspaDa]

That theme was about psychical burden, not physical. Maybe I should have highlighted that.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Ya but shouldering the literal weight of being a fatass becomes a psychological burden. Easily.

 

[CiG]

Except that doesn't happen.

Yes it does.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Yes it does.

DOES NOT

Actually if you mean like Necrophiliac then yeah I guess so.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

So you're going to make a specific interpretation out of a vague theme in order to limit the possible interpretations available? That's moronic.

I'm of the opinion that if the song is about loving alcohol, it should go deeper into the love aspect than simply saying "We love alcohol!" If the songs lyrics suggested that the singer is actually "in love" with alcohol, or that his love for alcohol is more meaningful than any other love, or the lyrics as a whole sounded like a parody love song with alcohol as the object of his affections, I would accept it as a legit example. That song is more just a general celebration of drunkenness that happens to feature the word "love" in the refrain; they could call it "Fuck yeah, alcohol!" and it would be pretty much the same.

 

[CiG]

That's a fair criticism, I wasn't really talking about that song though.
