The New Rules:

We're starting over and have implemented a few new rules, most of which more closely mimic the real Survivor and a couple of which serve to make things easier and more organized. Please familiarize yourself with these rules because these are the standards by which votes will be counted.


The way the hosts post: We will always post official results in the same manner (+4 Red) and our goal is to make it easy for you guys to follow what’s going on. So if you’re confused, look for our posts. We will announce a) when the voting period has begun and ended b) who has immunity and c) results.

VOTING:

- Voting periods begin AFTER immunity is assigned and ends at 9:00 EST that night. Either rezamatic or I will post an official beginning and ending announcement. If your votes are before or after those posts, then they do not count. See below for how immunity works.

- When you vote, type 1) The round number and 2) the name of the song in your subject line and ONLY that. We will tally the votes by the subject line, so if it ain’t in the subject it doesn’t count! Otherwise, feel free to converse however you like. But please try to keep the constant arguing and back-and-forth to a minimum just so it's easier for people to keep track of votes!

- Votes can NOT be changed once they’re posted. We count your first vote and that is all.

- If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then we’ll have a sudden-death immunity question ready which will allow someone to make the call themselves between those two (or more) songs.

IMMUNITY:

- After we tally the scores, we will announce the results and post an immunity question/puzzle/etc. and await a response post. In order to be considered, the answering post must containing both the following: 1) the correct answer and 2) the choice for immunity. When we get that post, it will then be VERIFIED by us in bright red letters confirming who has immunity this round. So again, if we haven’t posted, nothing is official! Once we confirm immunity, the voting period begins.

The next post will contain the results of the preliminary round and demonstrate to you how the official posts will look. After that, I will post a vote that will demonstrate to you how that will be done as well.

Thanks for playing and have a good time!

I do think Honey Hi is not as good as Save Me A Place, but seeing as there is no immunity this round... it seems safest to vote off a song that could very easily see immunity next round.

Thank you Nancy for getting things rolling!

And no offense to "Honey Hi', I just think it's such a waste. It needs something extra to actually make it a song versus a demo!

So far we're off to a good start, can't wait to see how this plays out! I think the Sara vs. Save Me A Place battle will be the ultimate face-off to watch :-D

Hey, I think we need to get clarification on whether or not you have to put the round number in the subject line to get your vote to count. I know it's specified in the rules. I really wouldn't want this to be an issue when the votes get tabulated if someone does not. Just trying to keep things running smoothly. :) Thanks.

sodascouts
08-30-2004, 11:13 PM
jwd, we tally the votes by the name of the song in the subject line. If that's there, the vote gets tallied. However, we ask that you include the round number as well for clarity.

Thanks for trying to head off confusion!

Once we get through a few rounds, we'll probably get a new thread going just to keep things easy. When things get cluttered, we want to make sure you can still read/follow votes and such. We just don't want to swarm the boards with one specific topic, as Nancy said. Keeping it in the subject line helps out bigtime when we tally.

I can't believe that Save me a place is losing. :shocked: It's not the best song in the album, but the worst?! I don't think so. I love Honey Hi too but if it comes down to one of those two I'll probably vote Honey Hi. :(

::Sigh:: I also could vote off the worst song in the album (in my opinion) Walk a thin line. :shrug:

Desicions, decisions... lol!

I still have until 9:00 PM right? I'll think about it then.

thepoetinmyhear
08-31-2004, 08:20 AM
I completely agree with Saradorna that SMAP is not the worst song on Tusk nor do I give into any SMAP hating around here. Plain and simple: a vote for SMAP is a vote against the possibility that SMAP is in the top three or two or even one simply because it seems that SMAP fans are good with the fast finger immunity typing. I would hate to see round after round of SMAP with immunity when I would normally vote to evict it after the second or third round.

Think of it as a preemptive strike against the confusion of the last game.

Michael

Oh and Dissention: I'm pretty sure rescinding the vote has been declared "against the rules"

Not true, Bryan. I have been trying to get rid of SMAP for a loooong time. I love Lindsey, but I do NOT love this song. It has nothing to do with Sara.

Cristian
08-31-2004, 12:24 PM
I hate strategic votes but I don't want "Save Me A Place" to leave yet (I think it's one of Lindsey's greatest, mind you), and "Honey Hi" is easily Christine's weakest song in this album... although I still like it much more than others.

Michael



The confusion of last game had nothing to do with a song. It had something to do with unclear rules.

It's just brainless to vote for a song because it survived in a game where the rules weren't clear. No. It's an action against posters. not against confusion. How can you strike against confusion by picking a song in a new game??

I hope I'm still in the neighborhood of people who can be proud of fellowfans who fight for a song they totally love. Even if it is not your song.

I don't know about anyone else, but I voted for "Save Me A Place" because it's truly my least favorite song on the album.

I love the harmonies and the arrangement on "Honey Hi"... I love the erotic moodiness of "Brown Eyes"... I love the discordant sounds of "That's Enough For Me," "I Know I'm Not Wrong," "The Ledge" and "Not That Funny"... I love the quirky but beautiful "That's All For Everyone" and "Walk A Thin Line"....

I actually love every song on the album but "SMAP," so I'm voting for my least favorite first.
Which is what I did last time, too. And I do believe that "SMAP" is honestly the least favorite song of at least many of the other people voting against it.
Just as I believe some people honestly despise "Sara," and some people despise "Honey Hi," and some people despise "Beautiful Child," etc.

Either way, my vote has nothing to do with "revenge for 'Sara.'" :)

Sara isn't "so hated." In my opinion it's one of the main favorites of the Stevie fan community. I am not, however, voting for it in strategy, but because it's my least favorite on Tusk. No, I am not kidding, or I would not have just said that. Seriously speaking, it is too slow, monotonous, and exhibits few of the artistic and creative nuances I enjoy in Stevie's work; namely, I miss the emotion, and climactic elements that make her songwriting beautiful (ie Silver Springs, GDW, Storms.) The end result is a bathos that puts me to sleep when I decide not to skip it (which is not often.) Not to mention she says "drownding" :shocked:

Now feel free to fire away, but I will continue to vote until Sara is gone because it is mundane and certainly not extraordinary. (This is obviously my personal opinion or I wouldn't be saying it.)

LOL that's always bugged me too! I do think that she's saying 'drowned in', I'll give her the benefit of a doubt. I'm never gonna let Sevie get away with her 'oo-ahs' instead of 'er' tendency though. "who will be her lovooahh", "it's just like a rivooaah..." etc.

Vote tallying has begun - if you've yet to vote, get to steppin'! Obviously there is a heated race between two songs this first round. Will "Save Me A Place", which lasted so long in the last game, become the Tina Wesson and get the first boot this time around? Or will "Honey Hi" claim the throne in "Tusk Survivor All-Sucks"? Stay tuned...

Not the "sea of love" line, that one's cheesy. I'm talking about the "undoing the laces" line. That blows any "erotic" line from Chris out of the water. She writes fluffy love songs, nothing more, IMO.

I don't know which is the undoing the laces line...I probably can't understand it. I would love it if you gave me a bit more context so i could figure it out, but...and usually i agree she writes fluffy love songs, however, in the case of brown eyes i think it is different, and moodily erotic, or whatever johnny said.

Immunity Question for Round 2:
(the first person to reply with the correct answer AND their vote for immunity in one post will be confirmed by us before voting begins...)

Name a song on "Tusk" that does not contain the title of the song in the lyrics.

Answer: The Ledge

Choice: Sara has immunity

The Ledge?

Inmunity to Sara

rezamatic

Congrats ryan8472!

"The Ledge" is the correct answer - we would have also accepted "Storms" (as she only says "Storm" in the song).

That means that....

Sara has immunity for Round 2

GypsySorcerer
08-31-2004, 08:48 PM
Not the "sea of love" line, that one's cheesy. I'm talking about the "undoing the laces" line. That blows any "erotic" line from Chris out of the water. She writes fluffy love songs, nothing more, IMO.


Actually, I've always thought Chris referred to sex quite a bit in her songs. (Albeit probably not in the "erotic" way Stevie does.) Say You Love Me, You Make Lovin' Fun, Over My Head, etc. have sexual overtones. And "Oh Daddy," "Behind the Mask" and "Songbird" are not fluffy and you know it. :xoxo:

There are not a lot of votes for TEFM. For TAFE. I agree, it's unbelievable that such a beachboy-worthy hymn with great dark lyrics would be in danger in the second round. But thanks to people like you, who vote off the sheer brilliance in simplicity, SMAP, I am forced to vote strategically. Believe me, I had to devide my heart for it.

Seriously though, I love the song. But I can understand why people hate it so much and think it's crap. It can be very grating and monotonous. However I could say the same thing for "Storms". I barely used to be able to get through it in one listen because I felt it was SO repetitive and lackluster. All you Ledgies turned me onto it in the end, though.

The lyrics are fine, but it's the music I just can't stand. It sounds like a 45 RPM record played at 33 RPM speed! :lol: :lol: And that drum beat--ugh!

Storms is not my favorite song on Tusk, but some parts of that song just give me chills--"and not all the prayers in the world could save us".

I agree, Mari. But I just want to hang in there for SMAP, just to frustrate those who tried to get rid of it from the beginning. In the previous game it stood through a lot of rounds. I want to save it a place as long as possible. So that the quick immunitors can save it some more rounds. But therefore I had to go for TAFE. Would you please forgive me? Then I'll forgive you for not be able to vote to save one of them on purpose.;)

The problem with Lindsey's songs on Tusk (at least to me) is the instruments. They sound like crap. Didn't he play/record this stuff in his bathroom and then bring it to the band? I don't know, some of the stuff just sounds muffled or something. I dig his lyrics and guitar playing, but I think that if he would have collaborated with the band a little more, this album could have been alot better.

You're right about the instrument and the sound but I think he did this on purpose.

Let me say this, all Lindsey's songs in Tusk are not comercial to say the least. Where I make a difference between his songs are his lyrics and thats why I think SMAP is much better that WATL , TAFE or TEFM.

How anyone can say SMAP is crap, I'll never know and I don't want to know either! :distress: It's a shame everyone guns for the more interesting songs and defends the safe options. Oh well.

This time it's Never Forget, next time it's Never Make Me Cry on my hit list. :mad: :nod:
Someone else could easily say...How anyone could think never forget is crap is beyond me....It's a shame everyone guns for the beautiful, subtle, songs and defends Lindsey songs...believe me, i love some of Lindsey's "interesting" songs on Tusk, I just don't enjoy listening to SMAP - to me, the "interesting" he tried to do on this one didn't turn out very musically compelling...lyrically, it's ok...but musically I think he accomplished something better on other similar songs....

How anyone can say SMAP is crap, I'll never know and I don't want to know either! :distress: It's a shame everyone guns for the more interesting songs and defends the safe options. Oh well.

I'm totally in your corner where "That's All For Everyone," "That's Enough For Me," "Walk A Thin Line," "The Ledge" and "Not That Funny" are concerned. Those are all incredible and interesting songs, that deserve to stay and fight to the very end.

It's just that I don't think "Save Me A Place" is all that interesting. :sorry:

I don't mind the simplicity of the lyrics... it's not about that at all. I think he very effectively gets his point across with few words.
It's the thumping, plodding tempo that kills it dead in its tracks for me.

"That's All For Everyone" is the song I feel is most deserving of all of our praise, and the song that deserved a battle to save it from elimination.
Instead, it was unfairly sacrificed. :(

"TAFE" so beautifully conveys the genius of Lindsey's 'Tusk' mindset and approach, while "SMAP" falls on its face.

This is all, of course, only my opinion. But, for me, "TAFE" succeeds in all the places "SMAP" fails. :shrug:

Please johnny, put it on and:

1. concentrate on the bassline. It adds a great counterpart to the drifting melodyline.
2. The "moaning" ,irritating tempo is purely used for the also "out of focus" backing vocals (they never start or end in sync.)
3. Think about this: The song really is never in a beat. It's contrasting everywhere.

I can understand that people think that all is irritating, but if you closely listen to what he's doing there the songs' depth can open itself for you.

Not that I think that will happen to you, but it happened to me that way. I hated it at first (in 1979), too.

By 81 I was addicted :lol:

Trust me, Gerald, I have given that song so many chances over the years.
I want to like it... I really do. But I don't. :(

And it's not that I find it irritating in any way... my first impression of Lindsey's 'Tusk' songs was that they were all just a discordant mess. But then, I was struck by what Lindsey was trying to get across... that exuberant and carefree spirit of an abstract painting.

It's just that "Save Me A Place" commits the ultimate musical sin for me: It bores me. :sorry: :distress:

I actually don't take it personally at all - I think it's fun! I pretty much like every track on Tusk, but of course some more than others. Although I admit I can't help but feel disappointed when people call certain tracks crap just because they're not typical Fleetwood Mac songs, but all in all, iI still think it's just a fun game :)

Part of the fun is arguing about what is crap and what isn't! lol

amber
09-02-2004, 04:18 PM
Yeah, but the point is I never said Never Forget is crap but you must admit it's McVie by numbers, at least SMAP shows yet another side to Buckingham. I remember how unique and exciting it sounded back when I first heard it, because all of I knew of him was the shiny Cali-pop-rock for which he became famous.
Plus I think SMAP is beautiful and subtle, much more so than the sappy Never Forget (which I'd just like to add I quite enjoy). At least Johnny Stew just says it doesn't do it for him, but to say it's crap is something else altogether.
And don't dismiss "interesting" either. The reason Tusk is a masterpiece is because it's musically diverse and, yes, interesting.
But this of course is just my opinion :)
I didn't mean to dismiss "interesting". But i just don't think SMAP is incredibly interesting. I think some of his cali-pop songs are more musically complex. And part of the reason TUSK is diverse is the other singer/songwriters. And although I love many of LIndsey's songs on TUSK, to me, they sound similar to each other. Like, I think, if only lindsey's songs were on there, the album would have been interesting, but not diverse...if you can understand what i mean. I'm glad you think smap is beautiful and subtle. I find it hard to appreciate as much as some other songs with a more pleasing melodic sound. I don't think smap is crap, either, but just as you were with the other post I quoted, we're all trying to make a point in favor of whatever we like. I'm glad people like a bunch of different songs, otherwise there wouldn't be millions o' billions o' fans, and we all wouldn't have gotten to see the concerts or be here talking about FMAC. But there ARE many different points of view, so...uh...what was I talking about? :lol: :p

Immunity Question for Round 4:
(the first person to reply with the correct answer AND their vote for immunity in one post will be confirmed by us before voting begins...)

On ‘The Chain’ box set, there is a special remixed version of “Tusk”. What is the big difference between this remix and the orginal album cut? (We’re looking for a pretty specific answer here, so I hope we don’t run into debates!)

The 'Chain' alternate version of "Tusk," omits the first verse of the song.

Immunity goes to "Sara" please. :)

***I just want to point out that I'm adding this part... because I'm not sure if I was specific enough.
The line "Why don't you ask him if he's going to stay, why don't you ask him if he's going away" is what I was referring to as the "first verse."

"Tusk" is structured a little oddly though, so I realized other people might not consider two lines a "verse."
