| Topic | Raetsel continues ranking 631 songs (+ extra songs) [Rankings] |
| Raetsel_Lapin 01/15/21 5:19:17 PM #90: | And weve reached the final Round! =============== Congratulations to everyone who managed to get at least one song into the final Round. Double congratulations to FL81 & Mega Mana for getting the most songs into it with three each. Interestingly, theyre both Neutrality nominators who got two songs from their albums & 1 song from their Extra Songs in. Im rather pleased that while Chaos is the most represented nomination type, theres still a fair amount of Order & Neutrals around. Since I dont often listen to entire albums and tend to get easily bored with similar songs in a row, I was a bit afraid that Order would be a trap; but all three paths were viable ways to the finale, so that worked out well. So... this year there wasnt a clear winner. At the first topic, it was obviously going to be Maclir in first and Focus Tous in secondeach time I think about that topic, I feel like I should have had the rest of the top 10 in a different order (and likely never give the same order anytime asks), but the top two were set in stone early on. Last years topic, but the time it started, it was pretty obviously going to be Kafs song in first & ...well I still dont fully remember what got second, but it should have been Carly Rae Jepsens song and Im reasonably certain it was, so lets just go with that. The rest of the list shuffled a lot, but the top two were pretty well locked in. Here... the winner of the first pass through all the songs was not the same as the second which was also not the same as the third. The top of the list has been in a state of constant flux, so well be doing things a bit different this year: Finale Rule Change Ive gone through the list of the top 24 songs a full seven* times. The songs will have their placements from each trip through the list added together and that will give a final score to determine their ultimate placement. The best score would be a 7 (coming in first place all seven times) while the worst score would be a 168 (coming in 24th place all seven times). [No song has a score at either of those extremes.] As such, its not necessarily the song that amuses me the most right now that will win, but the song that most consistently got high placements. This also means ties are possible. Also, I havent actually done the seventh trip through the list at the time of this writing (much less added the scores together), so I dont actually know which song (or songs) has won yet. ...as an aside, placements in this context are only considered relative to the other 23 songs in the final. If there was a song that I hated on the Initial Pass through the list and it came in at, say, 533rd place then that would only count as a 24 in rankingbecause it was 24th out of the 24 songs actually in the final. Which is a big deficit to try to make up, but not one thats beyond the impossible like if I actually had the song start at 533 points. In retrospect, I wish Id included more songs and done fewer than seven trips through the finale list, but hey. Its my first time actually taking past rankings into account when deciding a winner. Its a new experience. --- Temporary Signature ... Copied to Clipboard! |
