    Welcome to the KolidoVision, a SURLAW game

    For regulars who are familiar with Walrus, this is essentially the opposite, where the host picks the songs, you rate them (via PM) and then the Reveal is very much like how the Eurovision results are done.

    Why I'm Doing It
    Hosting a Walrus looks like too much effort, this is the next best thing.

    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:
    These songs are not my favourites of all time but rather picked especially for this game. Some I've found recently and some I've liked for years. My music passion lies mostly in the genre I grew up listening to, 80s rock and pop. In the 90s, I started listening to dance music and tried a little rap and hip hop. At the turn of the century I moved more to pop music, but all these genres I regularly revisit and are a mainstay on my playlists.

    Sign up will be opened until I get enough entries to run with.

    This is an excellent soundtrack so far to my morning. Only knew two songs before and there's definitely some class songs here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,596 ✭✭✭lassykk


    First listen was enjoyable. Was concerned when I saw Sophie Ellis in there but it's a great collection of tracks.

    Will take a few listens to rank!

    A very nice mix of songs and a few that I didn't know and I should as they are right down my alley.

    Thank you for organising this Kolido!!

    Up to 6 entries, including my own. No rush on this, plenty of time. Though I dont want to hold up the queue for too long.

    Had my first listen over the weekend and I've now got a list of 13 to whittle down and then sort, so will try and get that done and fired off this evening.

    EDIT: Done.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,822 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Was about to say I forgot about this and will enter soon...... Alcohol!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,359 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    We have 11 entries so far, there is 1 pending, would hope for a few more.

    I will probably run the reveal this Saturday evening regardless if we get any more or not.

    I have not done the scores so no idea which song is winning, but I can say there is a good spread of votes.
