Subject: Bringing Idle Back?

Written By: EthanM on 03/13/10 at 10:14 am

Any interest in that? Last time, it was the first time to my knowledge that a contest not judged by the contestants reached completion, and it could certainly improve in another go-round. Especially a small budget can be invested into the contest in order to compensate judges and winners. But even if it has to all be for free, I'd be up for competing again and hopefully the competition could be opened up to everyone that hasn't written a song that was played on Dr. Demento. I'm sure plenty of others would be up to compete - the question is if there are three people willing and able to judge.

I'm up for judging this time!

But I'm not feeling like writing for this again (See that Dave still has 4 or 3 more songs of mine to record)

Due to my abbreviated personal freetime, I hereby forgo judging or participating.

Have fun!

I would love to judge. Like, it'd be so epic that words could hardly describe it.

PLEASE?  :D

So we got 2 judges and 1 participant... I don't see this happening.

I might enter as a contestant... I have nowhere near enough time to judge due to school, spring cleaning, Pokemon SoulSilver.....

Due to school/work/the fact that my computer has all but gone completely out of commission. . .I will refrain from judging this time, and as for being a contestant, I don't know . . . I am a bit stretched out at the moment--but I will think on it.

It's been a few months since this has been mention, but I'm still up for it if everyone else still is as well

Since many of us have won SOTM at least once during our days here, I don't think that we should regulate who gets to be a judge and who gets to be a contestant like last time.
I think if you wish to be a contestant and you have won or had a history of winning then it will be tougher to beat you and will make the rest of the contestants step up their game, which is a good thing. For example if Spaff wishes to enter (which is HIGHLY unlikely) the other contestants involved will have to work harder to beat Spaff.

As for me since I was a contestant last time I really want to be a judge this time just to try it out.

I think you would make an excellent judge, Matty.
