Hey guys,
Last week, FWANGER suggested we play this game again. I agree it would be fun to see how our opinions have changed over the last 10 years or so, so I created a thread in the GAME ROOM. I list every Aero song and you play each day, and assign points to songs you want to eliminate, and songs you want to save, until we get down to one song as the ultimate favorite.
I assigned each song 15 points, and each player gets 12 points a day - 6 to add points, 6 to take away.
I admit it’s a bit overwhelming due to sheer volume of songs in their catalogue, but should be a fun game for us to play over the next several months - hopefully several people play!
Coop, I hope this is OK with you as mod!

Without going to check, I thought last time we had more points to take away than to add. I see certain songs getting 'locked' in battle otherwise with no resolution.

Same as last time? 2 up and 3 down per person per day.

Yes, you definitely need more points coming off the board, or else the game goes on forever. 15 points is probably too many to start each song with if you don't want the game to drag more than it has to. I checked the last time and it was 10 points per song, but with this many songs, I'd consider starting each song with even less. Each vote takes 1 point off the board. The total catalog is about 185 songs, so at 15 points per the board is starting at 2775 points. Spot checking the 2017 games, we got about 5 votes a day. At that rate the game would run about 550 days. Even starting each song with 10 points like last time, that's 1850 points and the game would run for about a year averaging 5 votes per day.
To speed things up, you could give people multiple votes per day and/or lower the initial points on the board. I think multiple votes would lead to a lot of manual errors, since when voting the voter has to reply to the previous vote, remove their up/down votes, then cast their votes in a colored font to make it easier for the next person to find.
Either way is daunting, but after thinking about it a bit, if we started each song at 6 points, +1, -2 each vote (still a net of -1). This would make it 3 uncontested votes to eliminate a song (down from 4 last round). We'd start with a board of about 1,110 points. Averaging 5 votes per day the game would run about 220 days, or 7 1/2 months. Still keeping people engaged for that long could be tough, as would getting them to scroll through such a large list of songs at the start.

Thanks everyone, for the suggestions. I reduced the total points per song to 8, and changed the rules at Coop's suggestion of each player having 5 points to use a day - 3 to eliminate, 2 to add to songs. It should be good to go - let's play!

I don't usually frequent the game room but I am addicted to this and abouts to start getting nasty! Would be good to have a few more Aero peeps throw in their input too. Doesn't have to be an every day commitment!
