Cape90 did a terrific James Brown impersonation.


With the judges out of the way, we all learned a valuable lesson.

Battle of the Bands Night 5

Two bands come before you this evening. Tonight, we have:

Lorab vs. Cape90

If you have been nominated, you may not post and may only vote the non-player option in the poll to keep an eye on the results.

Everyone else will vote for the preferred track. Your vote may be based on whatever criteria you would like.

The submitter of the track with the most votes is safe from elimination and will receive a certificate granting a prize.

The submitter of the track with the fewest votes will need to find another venue.

During this process, the crooked poser judges will also eliminate someone from the competition.

After this, the entire process repeats itself.

Here are tonight's submissions:

Night 5 ends tomorrow at 4pm ET.

While we appreciate all the support and enthusiastic participation, we have unfortunately run out of funds. Stagehands need snacks.

Moving forward, there will be no more certificates to winning musical acts. Bands will be playing for pride and survival only.

nutella got cold feet...you might say she was...Chile.


One of the judges had a heart attack and was dismayed to discover that DrWilgy was actually a guitar doctor.

Sheep's audience was all crickets.


The judges checked the fine print and ruled out pyxxy, as the consecutive double X in the band name comes too close to implying obscenity.

This is the Battle of the Bands Mafia.

By participating in this game of Mafia, you agree to adhere to The Syndicate code of conduct.

Trash talking the music is OK.

Mechanics

During the Day phase, you will vote for the person you want to be eliminated.

You will also submit via PM to me one Youtube / bandcamp / soundcloud / etc. link in the event that you are put into the Battle of the Bands showdown. You do not have to change links if you are not nominated (i.e., up for elimination). There is also a strict rule against identifying or hinting about what your possible track is or isn't, as that goes against the spirit of the competition.

The top two (or three or four, etc.) will go into the Night round. They must participate in the Battle of the Bands. Anyone nominated who failed to send a playable link will be eliminated by default. During the Night phase, the nominated players will be restricted from posting (because you're performing, duh!). The audience will discuss and vote on the music (a vote means, "I like this track and want this person to stick around"). When the Night is over, the loser will be eliminated. The winner will receive a certificate that grants an ability of some kind that is related to the chosen track.

Musical ties will be resolved by three children I may or may not know.

Also during the Night phase, the crooked poser judges will kick someone else out of the competition!
