Can anyone explain to me what's so amazing about Stormzy? His music's not for me and not awful, but it doesn't sound particularly unique or ground breaking either, yet he's treated like the fucking second coming or something. I don't get it.
 
He's British, and probably from London, so as well as being trendy, there's a home grown pride thing going on. Which means the BBC and the like are comfortable to jump on the bandwagon and overdo the hype while pretending to be relevant to anyone under 30.

Unlike my other two games, I'll update regularly as the number of voters won't be a problem.

Album elimination thread

Here's another simple game. Each album starts with 100 points. You can give one point for particular album, and take one point from another albums. Only one give, one take, and of course, no consecutive posting. When an album reaches 0 points, it's kicked out of the list. The goal of the game is...

Wow, Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a great movie but I don't think he needed to dedicate an entire 15 spots do it...

Don't you bring up that monster again. If you could have a fistfight through the internet, that thread would have started it. :innocent:

Just to set the record straight: that album elimination disaster wasn't actually related to starting Survivor games here. Source: I'm the one who started Survivor games here, I know what I was doing. :p

All of them ending with exclamation points!
Just like the text in the old 1960's Marvel Comics by Stan Lee!
Excelsior, true believers!

Naaaah, we haven't had anything remotely similar before that. Other games started to appear en masse during this game's final hour.
The name was different, the rules quite different but the concept (elimination) was the same. No doubt you were the one to establish the Games but not the initiator. This was 7164.

Album Elimination Thread started October 2008 and ended August 2009. Other Survivors started towards end of July 2009 days before the final curtain of that game and when only 2 albums remained.
Now that I see it again, Powerslave did a huge run against TNotB covering a difference of more tan 400 points in 20 days. Oh and we were in finals since 20 February 2009!! And I switched sides to piss you off wow :devil2::edmetal:

Too little too late. Laughably little.

EDIT: I saw your spoiler and thought you were talking for here. My bad. There are some laughable measures of "opening" up so I thought you were refereeing to those.

Some friends with TV noticed attempts of reverse brainwashing i.e. local coverage of World Cup via national TV contains considerable time of showing crowds. I'm watching from internet there are no crowds almost. It would take quite a few World Cups to reverse brainwash that Covid isn't the end of the World, I'm afraid! :D
