As stated prior to this thread, VOTING is worth points.  If you vote and did not enter this contest, you will get 3 points towards the overall 5 year standings in the Artistry contest.  When you vote as an entrant in this round, you receive 5 points for voting. . .that means no one who votes ends with no points. . . .

Anyway, the rules are pretty similar to other contests.  This is round 40 so please know that ALL rounds will count EQUALLY toward the final standings, and NO rounds will be omitted from the final total.

1. All participants must comment on all entrants and vote by the deadline, which for this rounds is January 19th, 2009.  Failure to vote will forfeit all points from this round, and if that is less than 20 points, the difference will be forfeited in the following round (No Disqualifications)

2. Voting will take place by replying to this thread

3. If a person withdraws from an Artistry Round prior to the end of a round, all entrants who voted for that person's entry will be permitted to pick one new song to earn a bonus point, all other songs will be realigned accordingly.  There will be no penalty on those who don't change their vote.

4. Once a vote is posted, it cannot be changed UNLESS rule 3 applies OR there was a double-vote by accident.

5. Late entries will be accepted until the 1st vote has been posted.

6. The deadline is a strict deadline, the moment the date has reached the day after the deadline, no votes will count, this is to reduce last minute voting, or sympathy/favoritism towards different entrants.

7. We ask that any entrant who posts a link to his/her original song (source of parody) not be DKTOS for the contest.

8. All other basic competition rules as applied in other competitions are generally followed.  The rules may not be changed or altered unless two/thirds of those voting in a round where a rule change is requested agrees.  Rules may be added by host (Below Average Dave) if it was a rule in the ABC or SOTM contest that was thought to be common knowledge, but not known by a particular entrant.

** Please note that because this round has 5 contests, entrants should vote 5 points, 4 points, 3 points, 2 points,  the one point will automatically be awarded to the voter like it was the last time we had 5 entrants.  Anyone who votes who isn't required will still receive the 3 points for voting in a round when they weren't obligated to do so, but gets to rank all 5 entrants.

Crap, that's it?!  >:(

We need some more competitors!!

5pt=Rex
4pt=Matthias
3pt=TCOP
2pt=BAD

It's going to be a long wait for the 19th....

These past few rounds have been less than stellar artist pulls it seems, but hey Agri, you seem to really shine in rounds where the artist doesn't have a lot of fans :)  aren't you vying for three in a row?  I know the next round will be at least one person larger (Jeff has joined the Ozzy round) but hopeful as more popular artists like Ozzy get drawn, we can get back up to the numbers we had for most of the other rounds.  I really like 8 to 10 people, that is the most comfortable size for these competitions.

5 to Agrimorfee
4 to Conqueror
3 to BAD
2 to Matthias

This is one of those rounds where the votes could have gone in pretty much any order.

5 to Agrimorfee
 
Dave, you may be right. ;) 10q Rex.

5 Points: Rex's Saturday Morning Cartoon
4 Points: Agrimorfee's Chocolate Factory
3 Points: Below Average Dave's Fish
2 Points: T-Cop's Monkey Business

sheeshe, I hope I'm not late. The deadline says the 19th and my calender says the 17th but the change over happened with the other rounds - gah, I hope this counts:

2 points to Matthias Guy
3 points to BAD Fish
4 points to Agri and the Chocolate Factory
5 points to Pinky and the Rex

2 Points to Matthias

3 Points to The Conqueror of Parodies

4 Points to Agrimorfee

5 Points to Rex Ungericht

You guys did good for such a boring artist. . .but to be honest I'm glad to have this round of the list--on to the much more entertaining artists "Van Halen" and "Ozzy Osbourne"

This round really sucked... And I know I finished dead last, but I couldn't care either way.

I know what you mean, I felt the same way in the Vertical Horizon round.  I think those of us in Artistry for the long haul are all going to have rounds that fill us with indifference.  :)

(Sorry Conq, I just wanted to see how everyone's names look Conqueror style!)  Congrats Rex, Agrimorfee and Conqueror on your podium, Matty you and I can go in the "Three Dog Night Sucks" lounge later, on me. . .

If only I could have voted for myself... :D

Good job Rex! 8)

Narf! Poit! Zort! What are we going to do with this win, Brain?

Same thing we do every night, Pinky. TRY TO TAKE OVER THE parody WORLD!

Thanks all, and congrats to AofP and CofP.

Wow....... What a boring round! I'm glad that's over (Not looking forward to the dreaded Gordan Lightfoot round)

(Sorry Conq, I just wanted to see how everyone's names look Conqueror style!)

I don't mind, I find it awesome! It'd only be more awesome if I had come first in a round of a band/artist that I KNEW and LIKED.

Still, 3rd place - quite unexpected! Thanks for the votes, and congrats to Rex and Agri!

(How odd that the placings are the same order as my votes with me jammed in the middle...)
