Vote for your LEAST favorite songs!

This is a Survivor game. Vote for the song(s) that should be eliminated in this round. You get three votes.

As we progress the best songs are left standing. Each round is 2 days long. The top ten songs from this series will proceed to the next series, where they compete against the songs from the next album.

Eventually we'll have an overall top 10, and then we'll eliminate those songs one by one until only The Best Iron Maiden Song survives.

For the full rules, please see this thread.

Die, Strange World!
Die, Prodigal Son!
Die, Twilight Zone!
 
Re: Best Iron Maiden Songs Survivor Game

Another Sysyphus jerkoff, eh?
 
Re: Best Iron Maiden Songs Survivor Game

I like this concept.

I go for:

Die, Sanctuary
Die, Iron Maiden
and Drifter.


All not that melodic, and relatively simple, repetitive and overplayed songs from that era.
 
Re: Best Iron Maiden Songs Survivor Game

Prodigal son ?  i love the guitar part.  :notworthy:

Another Life, Innocent Exile, Twilight Zone  my choices.

Don't worry, you don't need to defend yourself. ;)
 
Re: Best Iron Maiden Songs Survivor Game

Did I do this one? :)

edit: that was just a compliment for this topic, and not a reaction on the Sysyphus hehe.
 
Re: Best Iron Maiden Songs Survivor Game

Ah crap, I think I voted wrong. I think I voted for Sanctuary instead of Strange World. Now I'm gonna hate it if Sanctuary dies, because I like that one a lot. Especially live.

Oh well, it's only an internet poll.
 
Re: Best Iron Maiden Songs Survivor Game

I'm curious to see the development of this concept.  :)

Innocent Exile, would you mind to...?
Drifter! You've been chosen to die; a routine like thing, nothing to worry really
Killer, y' did a good job ma' -but I'll 've to kill ya
 
Re: Best Iron Maiden Songs Survivor Game

Another Life -> too repetitive, good slowed down and with more punch (2005 live versions)
Drifter -> nice intro, good live, too average.
Iron Maiden -> bad lyrics, dull music. but it's an anthem and we all know that eddie is going to pop out when it's played live ;)

Here, i don't hate these three songs, i can listen to them and they're pretty enjoyable, but they lose to rest of selection.
 
Re: Iron Maiden Survivor, series 1: debut vs Killers round 2 (July 22-24)

Go to the top of the page and vote for your LEAST favorite songs!
Rules are in first post. Please read them if you don't know what's going on here.

"Winner" of round 1: Drifter
Round 2 has now begun.

Eliminated:
11. ?
12. ?
13. ?
14. ?
15. ?
16. ?
17. ?
18. ?
19. ?
20. Drifter


Curse you all for killing Drifter. That song rocks live. :P

Die, Strange World!
Die, Prodigal Son!
Die, Twilight Zone!
 
Re: Iron Maiden Survivor, series 1: debut vs Killers round 2 (July 22-24)

Huh, I think I misunderstood it. I thought more than one song could have been eliminated in one round, and if some songs had the same amount of votes, only those would come back in a tiebreaker. Now I see all songs (apart from Drifter) again, including the ones who had no votes. What's the point of that?

Well, I'll just vote again.

Sanctuary
Iron Maiden
and this time Charlotte the Harlot
 
Re: Iron Maiden Survivor, series 1: debut vs Killers round 2 (July 22-24)

I'll officially announce that I think this poll is an excellent idea.

My votes:
Twilight Zone
The Ides of March
Strange World (let's go -- win! win! win!)

Oops, I left off Prodigal Son.  Oh well.

The winner gets eliminated. Multiple songs can only get eliminated if they tie for the win. But if eliminating all tied songs would leave less than 10 songs, only then do we use a tiebreaker.
 
Re: Iron Maiden Survivor, series 1: debut vs Killers round 2 (July 22-24)

edit:

I decided to change my explanation, trying to get myself clear.

I thought, if we need only 10 survivors to compete with NOTB (I thought that was the goal), then it can be done faster and more effective than the way it's being done now.

e.g. take the current standings:

Prowler  0 (0%)
Remember Tomorrow  0 (0%)
Running Free  0 (0%)
Phantom Of The Opera  0 (0%)
Transylvania  0 (0%)
Strange World  3 (20%)
Sanctuary  1 (6.7%)
Charlotte The Harlot  1 (6.7%)
Iron Maiden  1 (6.7%)
The Ides Of March  1 (6.7%)
Wrathchild  0 (0%)
Murders In The Rue Morgue  0 (0%)
Another Life  1 (6.7%)
Genghis Khan  0 (0%)
Innocent Exile  0 (0%)
Killers  0 (0%)
Prodigal Son  1 (6.7%)
Purgatory  2 (13.3%)
Twilight Zone  4 (26.7%)

and let's say the end of this round stays like this.

Then there are 10 songs left with 0 votes --> THESE could be the survivors, the rest of the songs are "dead".

If there would be more songs with 0 votes, then there could be a tiebreaker, to see which one(s) have to go.

If there would be less songs with 0 votes, then there could be a tiebreaker, to see which song(s) of the ones with 1 vote can survive.

What does the current system? Only one or a few songs can be eliminated per round.

Anyway, I am still content the way it is, I only opted for a more effective system. Whatever happens, it will be interesting to see how long some Di'Anno songs will survive this poll.
 
Re: Iron Maiden Survivor, series 1: debut vs Killers round 2 (July 22-24)

I totally agree with SMX.  :lol:


Yo, yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo, yo, yo
(i don't think that is well written...  -_-).

:P
 
Re: Iron Maiden Survivor, series 1: debut vs Killers round 2 (July 22-24)

I'm happy with SMX version of doing it.  It prolongs the pain and agony songs like Strange World feel knowing their time is short.  Wha-hah-hah!
 
Re: Iron Maiden Survivor, series 1: debut vs Killers round 2 (July 22-24)

Purgatory--->  you're boring
Strange World--->  not much to be said,  it appears a lot of people here agree with me
Twilight zone-->  again,  doesn't sound that special

That's the idea. One song eliminated per round. Just because I accounted for ties in the rules doesn't mean ties are expected or even desired.

Consider what it might mean to use your system, Foro...
If one person who didn't like Phantom cast a vote against that song, it would get eliminated - when we know that song ought to survive for a long time.

Having fewer songs eliminated per round avoids obvious mistakes like that. And if speed is your concern, consider this: we'll move through each album in about 3 weeks. This Iron Maiden Survivor will probably take about 10 months to complete. It's not designed to move super-fast, but it does have an (approximate) end date, unlike the album elimination thread.

Why 3 votes per person? Only to simulate more voters, which makes Survivors work better. If this forum had more active members, you'd only be getting one vote.

And while we're discussing rules and such, time to announce:
There will be more Survivor games, but I'm going to stagger the start times.
When Iron Maiden Survivor enters Series 2, we'll start the Bruce Dickinson Survivor. When that enters Series 2, Metallica Survivor begins... and so on.
 
Re: Iron Maiden Survivor, series 1: debut vs Killers round 2 (July 22-24)

I understand it better now, especially the Phantom comment makes sense.

Thanks!
