Explanation: I'll post a link to a zip-file which contains 5 short music clips (2-15 seconds). You have 24 hours to send your guesses (interpreter and song title) to me, either via private message or email. Only one guess per clip is allowed. If the music file is the theme of a TV show, it'll be enough to state the name of the show.

Point scheme:
0.5 pts. -> title correct, interpreter incorrect
1 pt. -> title correct, interpreter correct
1 pt. -> If you are the only one who got at least the title right.
2 pts. -> If you are the only one who got title and interpeter right and all other guesses are totally incorrect.

Batch Bonus:
0.5 pts. -> all titles correct
1 pt. -> all titles and all interpreters correct

Winner is the player, who has the most points after Round 100.



Highscore:
1.) Nim (49 pts.)
2.) Vogon Poet (41 pts.)
3.) Futurama Guy (31.5 pts.)
4.) TSN (25.5 pts.)
5.) Cartmaniac (16.5 pts.)
6.) Phoenix (13.5 pts.)
7.) Omega (9 pts.)
8.) Mucus (7 pts.)
9.) Lobo (6 pts.)
10.) The_Tom (5 pts.)
11.) Valles (2 pts.)

Could you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by interpretor?
 
Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
 
Yeah, because one of those in the new batch could have any arbitrary "artist/composer" to it...or in the sake of the one in question, would it just be treated the same as say...a theme song?
