Unfortunately it's true, I wasn't able to commit properly to be a host or a player for this season. However I will definitely make sure to continue checking in the thread to see how things are going when I get a chance!

Good luck everyone and remember that you don't need to be good at writing songs or even know how to write a song. I had literally never written a real song before (I've had ideas but never actually wrote anything) and yet I ended up winning! I gained so much confidence in my ability and became inspired to continue writing.

edit: I will however, provide some #freepromo in my sig

You ever have a dream where you end up waking up and trying your best to move/open your eyes? I just had one of those.

I guess plug.dj won't be a part of this season dd

we'll have to find a new platform

Thanks for the endorsement lovesong. I'll try to do you proud.

Yes. So horrible.

I'd say TC, but it'd have to be an official room and we'd have to give everyone stars...but that's only if people end up being a mess.

I wish there was one that had the queuing ability plug.dj had, that was my favorite part.

TinyChat sucks poor it

Queuing was good, and I liked being able to woot/meh. Let me see if I can find something and suggest it.

lajdfa I wonder if hints will be a part of this season.

Trust me guys the hints can be even more stressful than the actual results. Trying to decode them and then realizing there is a chance that you ranked last from a judge...

Or we could just post in here like the good old days. I thought TC talk was banned on ATRL anyway.

Also, yes, there will be hints. Evil, evil hints.

Oh right

And yaaass the hints are now integral of this game. Definitely one of my favourite things (even with how stressful they were!)

AFAIK, you're only not allowed to link to off-site chat rooms, but that's mainly enforced in the bigger sections of ATRL.

1.) You didn't sign me up fatties

2.) Since I'm new to this game, and too lazy to look up last season -- is the game just submitting lyrics? Or do you have to be vocally and instrumentally talented?

3.) Favorite non-single Madonna song?

4.) What is the elimination process?

Well I'm certainly not going to stop anyone from making a chat for PH8 if they wish.

I think I'll have to give GotSkill and the rest of the judges a poke about the hints. I don't want them giving away rankings like they have done in previous seasons. They are supposed to be hints, not cryptic solutions, and left to interpretation.

you're signed up fat

Yes, just lyrics. No need for you to add vocals/instrumentals, but some people liked to create single covers and stuff which is entirely optional and doesn't affect your score.

"Secret Garden" from Erotica!

I'll let Sam handle the fourth question.

I can answer this one. It's just submitting lyrics. You're allowed to do extra stuff (like sing it, make a beat for it, etc.) but none of those things will count at all towards your score. You also will not be given any extra time to do said things, so a lot of the time, you're better off omitting it.

I want to get to #Page25 to find out the next judge

Post it fat

1) Let me fix it fat.

2) Just submitting lyrics. No vocal or instrumental talent required! That's how lovesong won.

3) "Illuminati", I guess. I've only listened to MDNA and Rebel Heart once.

4) It will change from week to week based on how many contestants are remaining. Some weeks, multiple contestants will be eliminated. Others, further on in the competition, only one contestant will be eliminated. Each song will be scored by each of the judges and I will combine and average out all of the scores. The contestant or contestants with the lowest score(s) after each round will be eliminated.

Speaking of talent, buy my song Predator on iTunes!

Talent?
