My Second PM-Based "Name that Tune"

Heretic_Cata · Mar 29, 2008

Heretic_Cata's Second PM-Based "Name that Tune" - CLOSED

Hi :wavey:

Welcome to my PM-based contest.

First of all, for the noobs out there: you PM someone by clicking on their Username and selecting "Send a private message to ..."

THE ALMIGHTY RULE :
Don't post any sort of answers or hints to the questions in the thread.

Stuff you should know about the competition:
1. Like you saw in my last quiz, i have no idea if a song is easy or hard to identify (for you). So there will be a lot more medium dificulty samples because i dunno. However the points to a lot of songs will change. To most songs you'll get more points if you answer before i post aditional samples and stuff. I will also post more new samples than usual. Oh, and there's 2 rounds and bonus points and stuff.
I am also too lazy to write the stuff i wrote in the other thread so whatever.

This quiz might be harder than my last one, but at least it has more songs per round.

I'm sure I asked you to PM me when you did this :mad:

Recognise far fewer than I should. Will PM with first guesses soon.

I barely finished the quiz yesterday and went to sleep soon after. I was going to send you today. Actually, i'll start sending mass PMs right now to former participants.
Oh, and the quiz actually is harder.

And btw, thx for reminding me about the quiz, i dont think i would've made it if it wasnt for you. :thanx:

Ozbenno · Mar 30, 2008

OK, have submitted a first attempt.

My main aim is to get more than half of Niklas' total, which I think I failed to do last quiz, even though I came 2nd :lol:

Niklas · Mar 30, 2008

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! :bounce:

Niklas · Mar 30, 2008

Ok, let me start off by saying :thumbsup:

to HC, I think you've struck a good balance between easy and hard songs. And a bunch of excruciatingly agonizingly familiar songs that I just should know. You know the drill...

Second let me say that I won't be half as competitive this time around since I have far less time to spend on searching. Doesn't mean I won't give a good fight though.

And last, I would like to motion for the removal of songs 204 and 215 from the quiz due to a GM mistake... :mischief:

First volley will be fired in a short while.

I dunno what you are talking about. :mischief:

______________________________________________________________
Ozbenno is curently in the lead with 34points
Niklas is second with 29p
StickCiv has 12
Lightfang has ... very few points.

StickCiv is the only one who recognized a hard song among you guys. He got 303 right on.

Niklas · Mar 30, 2008

5 points behind from the beginning eh? It'll be tough to catch up then, but I won't give up without a fight. :ninja:

LightFang · Mar 30, 2008

I suck at all these Name That Tune quizzes, and as a result you guys all get abysmal results when I make my Name That Tune quizzes. It's like revenge.

philippe · Mar 30, 2008

I send it.

Now wait a minute! I recognised 2-3 of them, I've just got no idea what they are called (yet :mischief).

Catharsis · Mar 30, 2008

I sent my rather newbish effort.

Japanrocks12 · Mar 30, 2008

my replies were sent

I did better on this one than on your first one

Izipo · Mar 30, 2008

How much time do we have ?
I just clicked on a random link and happened to know it.

So now I'm downloading all the stuff and will have a go tomorrow night.

Niklas · Mar 30, 2008

Going by the first round, you'll likely have a few weeks.

Heretic_Cata · Mar 31, 2008

Yea - this will last a little longer than last time ... dunno how long tho - might be a month. Btw, new samples next weekend.

Anyway, cant rate the new answers now, but from a quick lookie i see 302 was ID-ed by phil, which to my surprise didnt say anything about 305 which he HAS SEEN and is probably one of the (???) that he likes most. Of course me not seeing it is the reason why i've no idea how common it was.
Catharsis got 301

goodjob

and 303 right.

Heretic_Cata · Mar 31, 2008

There we go:

Ozbenno and Catharsis are curently in the lead with 34points
Niklas is in a close second with 33p
Philippe is in 3rd place with 28p
JapanRocks12 has 24
StickCiv has 12
Lightfang has ... very few points.

Grisu · Mar 31, 2008

sent my first submission:
only managed to id some easy songs for now, though I'm sure I'll be able to 208 with some time.

and if I don't lose the last scraps of my sanity first, I should be able to ID 211 and 212...and I have a distinct feeling that I should know 307 :hmm:
