Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Lyrical Leanings - The Inaugural Game
-
15-07-2019 3:10pm#1Thanks to the wonderful 'tayto lover' for sponsoring this game.
There's a fantastic thread over on AH where you write out some lyrics that should give a song away, and people like it if they know what it is. If you haven't checked it out, you're missing out! https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057986558&page=91
Well, we're gonna gamify it now! With the inaugural Lyrical Leanings game (please help with better names :P )
How it works:
Step 1: PM me 1 line of a song lyric that you think could win you the game by having the most participants know the song.
Step 2: I'll post the lyrics so there's a level of anonymity for the reveal.
Step 3: Participants like lyrics that give the song away for them.
Step 4: Profit I mean win. The winner is the participant with the most likes. All player/lyric combos will be revealed at the end of the game.
Le Rules:- Only one entry per participant. If you wanna change, only your latest entry will count.
- Lyrics must not contain the name of the song. i.e. you can't submit 'And after all, you're my Wonderwall'
- Each participant should only like those lyrics that give the song away for them.
- Non-participants shouldn't like the lyric posts while the game is ongoing. You may like them once the winner is declared.
This is a first shot, so I'm keeping it open in terms of genre etc. And I'm sure we'll learn a few things as we go along.
Hopefully people are interested. I'd like to hit at least 15 entries before closing the signups.13

Shall we choose alternate songs? Say the first in gets the original song and the others choose alternates? Or everyone choose a top song, with 2 alternates, in case the first was picked already.
There's plenty of good songs to choose from
I am happy to change mine if needed. 0 -

I'm weary of people having to resubmit, but if you want to add an alternative just in case, then that's grand.
Maybe a rule we can implement going forward, and for future games. Good shout!0 -

Wow! 25 Sign ups so far!
I was not expecting this to take off as much
I'll leave sign ups open for the day. Then we can do the reveal thread tomorrow.
I'm thinking I'll post all the lyrics in the morning, and give people until the evening to get their likes in.0 -

I'll be posting all the lyrics myself so they're anonymous so people would be able to thank them
Right, didn't think of that.
Why can you not thank your own lyrics then. Whats the reason for not doing it.
You clearly know what song it is.
You thank the post if you can ID the song from the lyrics. If gerry and rosie posted the same lyrics, and you psoted those lyrics, neither gerry or rosie are allowed to thank the lyrics, even though they can ID the song.
It makes more sense if everybody just thanks the post were they can ID the song from the words in the post, never mind if they contributed those lyrics or not.0 -

Fair point. It was something I wasn't sure on. But you've made a clear case for it.
Learning process for the new game and all that
If anyone has any other suggestions please feel free to flag them. Like I say this is the first try, so I'm making it up as I go hahah0 -
