Well, even not participating (don’t wanna submit my poor self to such “torture” of having to choose between Rox songs lol ;P), I must say I’ve been enjoying these “Survivor” threads of yours *lots*! Definitely nice ones to keep track of! :) Yet, hmm... for trying keeping each contest the least subjective, and the fairest (for the voting, and each song’s chances, that is ;P), I was wondering if you’d allow me (hope this is not too “intrusive” of me?...) to tip you a little “rule” for them?... Well, I’d suggest, why not set a fixed number of votes for *all* “Survivor” threads? I don’t know, say, 30, 40, 50, it’s you the boss here. :) Yet, the *same* for *all* contests. (To make it easier for you to control the number of votes, each voter could even just simply number his/her vote.) Perhaps the end result would come out fairer this way?... Coz, well, guess you’ll agree, it’s not the same share of fairness to, in one round, send a song off after 20 votes, and in the next, after 40, huh? ;P Well, it was just a humble thought... :)
Oh and btw, hope that, after the (hopefully?) following rounds over the rest of the Rox original albums, we may also get one for all the previously unreleased tracks from the Greatest Hits packs (JA, YDUM, SDLHA and IDWTGH from DBU-GTTC! + ATAY, “Breathe”, TWOTW, IH and ED from TBH + ON, LMS, “Stupid”, MLTY and BBBBB from TPH)! :P And perhaps even one for all the singles’ B-sides/original demos (“Turn To Me”, “Pearls Of Passion”, “The Voice”, “The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye”, “One Is Such A Lonely Number”, “Don’t Believe In Accidents”, “Crazy About You”, “Seduce Me”, “Happy Together”, “Better Off On Her Own”, “See Me”, “Entering Your Heart”, and... hmm... someone help, missed any other?...) and another for the videos also? That should be cool. :) And then, yeah, as girl7twenty7 suggested before, why not later go on over TWATG and even all the other non Rox but still related albums (PG + MF + GT) too? Would sure enjoy seeing all these in contest too! :P

@sweepi: for your 1st question: I cant do that cause if i say for example 30 ppl will vote its unfair for the rest of us...if i say 50 ppl i’ll have to wait forever cause usually there are 30-35 or even 40 ppl voting...but it varries from time to time so i think its fair to keep it open no restrictions...
Usually when i decide to “lock-close” a round is when the participation has faded and the thread starts going “down” and most of the times the song that goes out its been voted by far the most votes...but in the end dear sweepi..this is nothing official or serious...we do it just for the fun of it! :o)
Of course i will include DBGTTC, TBH & TPH...as for the bsides, rare, unreleased someone else can do it cause im not sure what to include and how to make a survivor game out of that..
thanks for writing

@ vaxjoe
I understand your point. :) Anyway, this was just a thought crossing my mind, which I guess comes still from that round, if I remember right it was one of those for LS!, which ended after, I guess it was 13 votes and... well, it just didn’t seem so much fair for, guess by then it was “Paint”, to be out of the game that way, if you get my point aswell. ;P But then again, yeah, perhaps you’re even right in the end, wanting to keep the game rules-free... it raises the “suspense” for the final result, which is the main ingredient in every contest, right? ;P All in all, one thing is for certain: will sure go on having fun, following the games! :)
And thank you! :)
P.S. Oh and please: consider the one for the videos! Can’t hide how much I’d love having that one! :D
