LeVar-ovision aka. SURLAW aka. Reverse Walrus; a Eurovision Style Contest

Welcome to the first SURLAW contest here in Forum Games

For the regulars who are familiar with Walrus, this is essentially the opposite, where the host picks the songs, you lot rate them (via PM) and then the Reveal is very much like how the Eurovision results are done. This will either be a lot of fun or a complete and utter failure, but hopefully its the former and it can become a regular game here, with others hosting their own versions

Why I'm Doing It
Too much free time on my hands due to the whole lockdown and the lack of Eurovision this year is giving me serious withdrawl...

How It Will Work:
-Below I've linked to a Spotify Playlist with the 20 Songs in contention (I'll add YouTube links as well in the next post)
-What you have to do, is just listen to them and figure out which 10 you like the best
-When you're ready Private Message a numbered list from 1-10 of your choices (with 1 being your favourite of the songs and 10 being your 10th favourite)
-First choices will earn 12 points, second 10 points, and third onwards 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points respectively (just like in Eurovision)
-Once I've closed sign ups and tallied up all the points, I'll do a reveal thread, going through how everyone ranked the songs and adding the points to the running total (again, just like Eurovision)

Why I Chose The Songs I Chose:
-Wanted to stick to ones that most people wouldn’t be overly familiar with to make it more of an even playing field
-Went with ones that aren’t actually Eurovision songs, but probably wouldn’t feel too out of place if they did appear in Eurovision either
-Mostly, it was just a random assortment of songs that I enjoy

Probably sounds more complicated than it actually is. Basically, listen to the songs here and then PM (that's Private Message for anyone joining us here for the first time) me your 10 favourites numbered 1 to 10 with 1 being your favourite

Please send me a list of 10 songs ; it won't work if people just pick 6 or 7 and then decide they don't want any of the rest, so even if you're not crazy about all 10 songs you choose, go for 10 anyway

Here's the Official Spotify Playlist for the first ever LeVar-ovision...

I've already ranked my own Top 10 as "Host Country" and they'll be included in with everyone else's points as well

I'll keep the sign-ups open for a couple of weeks anyway (tentative deadline is May 21st, but I may extend that) to give people a chance to have a proper listen to the tracks and hopefully get as many entrants as possible, as the more the merrier, and will announce the definitive closing date once I have a clearer picture
