Introduction
Welcome to the reincarnation of collin's game, ATRL's Holy Trinity! This is one of my favorite games I've ever played on ATRL and I wanted to bring it back to the new 2015 Games section. While I'm not going to try to be the wonderful collin and tried to be original with my ideas for this season, I hope we can still have as much fun as I had! I'm expecting this game to take about 10 weeks. If contestants quit, it will be shorter; if life gets complicated for me, the judges and/or the contestants, it will be longer.
Grouping things into threes just feels rewarding. Something about the number is perfect. Apples, pears and oranges. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. conatus, songwriting and homosexuality. It just makes everything roll off the tongue. ATRL's Holy Trinity is working off of that perfection achieved by putting things into groups of threes.
How To Play
Every round, I'll post a challenge. They are built upon a general theme for the contestant to follow. Based on these challenges, each contestant must create a trinity – three songs that work together to represent the challenge. These interpretations should be creative, but not over our heads. All entries will be posted in the thread (not in quotes if it matters for your formatting).
The judges will listen to and read your entries, give short comments and then rank your entries from best to worst. The three contestants with the highest rankings make up the Golden Trinity, and the three contestants with the lowest rankings make up the Flop Trinity. The Golden Trinity then decides which contestants in the Flop Trinity to eliminate permanently from the game. A contestant can go from being in the Golden Trinity one round to being in the Flop Trinity immediately afterwards; consistently staying out of the Flop Trinity is vital.

Working to the end of the game, the final 5 players will participate in a massive finale to decide their final ranks, and the top 3 contestants overall will combine and join forces in ATRL's Holy Trinity. The road to success, however, isn't always that simple. Do you have what it takes to be a part of ATRL's Holy Trinity?
Use this advice to help you make important decisions in the game.

Try not to use the immediately-expected songs. Interpret challenges in unique ways. Surprise us, in a good way! Be unique like the special snowflake you are(?).

When you're in the Golden Trinity, you can eliminate anyone you want in the Flop Trinity, and in some cases beyond just that. Develop stratagem and create allies. Remember your fellow contestants are the ones ultimately deciding who gets eliminated every round.

You might love an idea, but is it going to work out? Is it a risk that won't pay off? Are you just choosing a song because you love it and not because it's the best fit? Keep your best wits with you as you proceed.
