Asthe movie cup comes to an end, The Music Cup is returning (same format as this years movie cup).

TheSpecialJuan
Hero
Azzy
Galted
Il ghilablou

I'd like to be in if entry is still open.

It looks like Sodhat has disappeared! He missed the last two rounds of the movie cup, so I would appreciate if someone wanted to step up to the plate and take over the running of the music cup.

Express your interest here.

Have you PM'd him?

Perhaps he is just on holiday. Perhaps, like so many others of us, he has a life outside of v2.

I refuse to believe it!

And you do realise a life outside of v2 is a ban worthy offence?

You wouldn't ban me, Adam. I'm like your brother from another mother.

I would offer to organize it but I am genuinely too busy at work at the moment. Sorry old boy.

Soddy is almost always on, but I haven't seen him for a few days and he missed a deadline for tactics in the sports gaming section, which is unheard of for him. I expect something has come up. Wouldn't hurt to get someone else to run the cup I guess, in case he's not back in time?

Is there still spaces to join?

VDT wrote:Is there still spaces to join?

Yeah, if you run it too.

Soddy is away i believe in Nottingham

If there are still places I'm in

Am I to late?

Yeah, sorry, I spent a few days in a haze in Nottingham. I'm back now and I can still do this in the absence of anyone stepping up.

Gregers/Stella/TSJ/DJ Legless/Kenny - you're all in.

I will get something up a bit later today for the first round. Just need to create some categories...

whooo lets go!

How does it work sodhat, old pal?

I will give you all a category when I am back from a delicious Tesco lunch, and you have to PM me your nominations in said category.

You get your first nomination unless it has already been chosen, in which case I will take the second. If that's gone too, we'll send someone round to bust your kneecaps for wasting our time.

I put a poll up with all nominations, and you fine folk, and cherries, vote for your two favourites. You may vote for your own, too.

Sounds like a blast. Thanks.

Aside from the kneecap busting, of course.

the people who are involved get given a category each week (for example, Song with the word "love" in the title).

You then PM Sodhat with two nominations (in case your first has already been picked) along with a brief reason why your choice should win.

When Sodhat has got the full list of nominees, he posts a poll and the whole forum votes. A few days later, the one with the most votes gets the most points and the next category is given.

Over 10 rounds, the points are added up.

the nominations are anonymous to avoid any bias of voting. however, you will most probably notice my nomination as it will be an 80s prog rock number.

Can I recommend that you do the first two rounds to start and then each subsequent round as you post the next article.

Do you require a reason for the choice as per the movie one?

Do we need to say why we nominated the song/album/band?

What is the prize at the end?

There is no prize but the loser gets banned.

Trussman lost the movie cup......

I won't say it should be compulsory to say why you nominated anything specific, but it would be nice and I'll post anything up...

Agreed Adam, I'll select two categories now and post them here in a moment.

Embarrassing songs only your partner knows you like?

Right category for round one will be:

• Song from the decade you were born

PM me your two selections by Thursday morning, and I will put the poll up as soon as I'm in work. Anyone wanting to enter still can so long as you nominate by Thursday morning (around 9am, or later if you are lucky and I wake up late).

Round two should be sent at the same time, and that category will be:

• A song sung by a female vocalist

Get going!

I'm interested

Sent my nominations soddy. So glad I'm an 80s child

Mine sent too!

DONE

I'm a 70's baby so was restricted to disco, punk and the occasional classic

Done

So hard to pick just one 80's song!

Got them all

Already one song will appear in both rounds one and two...

Someone went with Bananarama then

Yeah that was me. Great night that was.

I know my round 1 isnt in round 2 as its a male singer.

I suppose someone born in the 80s might have chosen my female one!

Did you get mine, sodhat?

Madonna and the 80's?

Stella wrote:Madonna and the 80's?

Looks like it was us!

Yes, got yours Tino

Didn't know you were a 70s birth though. I had you pegged as an 80s man.
