I just don't even know what can I do. I don't know how to fix any of this. I don't have the mental strength
I just want to cry

Dude, the rankings aren't even do until the 14th. I think you'll have time to think stuff over.
I feel like you're taking this a little too seriously. And if I'm the person saying that, out of all people, then maybe you need to rework how you host the rest of this season.
One thing I do like is that the game isn't taking an eternity to finish like it happened with sumthintoxic hosting it. It seems like this game will finish earlier than all three seasons I participated in before. I think the opposite problem is happening this season. You're moving too fast for players.
Kamil said himself he was working 9 hour shifts for 3 days, which is why he wasn't active in this thread, or on ATRL itself. He's the host of the iTunes Canada game and he hasn't updated that in a day or so, and he's been the most punctual person when it comes to hosting an iTunes game. I'm betting that if the deadline was THREE days instead of two, he would have sent in on time. I honestly don't think anyone would have minded receiving this round's link tomorrow instead of today. It's literally just one day of a difference.
As for the song that was banned...that's your fault for not paying attention to the message I posted earlier on in the thread about songs that were used last season that you didn't put in the banned list. You've been very active in the thread and you've replied to a lot of my other comments. But you failed to update a very important list to the game. I got on sumthintoxic's case about this last season because somebody sent in a banned artist, but the banned artist list had not been updated so that artist was not on the most recently updated list. I'm not gonna condone a failure to make sure that a banned artist list or a banned song list is 100% accurate and up to date, as the host should make damn sure they do all their homework or listen to people that were in previous seasons that know certain songs were used.
You'll be fine, but you need to fine tune some of your flaws. We appreciate all the effort you've put into this season so far, but you need to work on some things to make it even better and more efficient.

MLD, I think he gets it + this is not the time to add salt to injury at all. From what he said, obviously mxtthew is going through some more personal stuff.
Just stop right now and can we actually be there for our friend? If he's overwhelmed, he has a right to be and quite frankly, I don't think he expressed his emotion on here for us to bash him.
Calm down, right now it's about mxtthew, let's be here for him. Mxtthew, what's up?

I semi-agree with this. You shouldn't ask people how many players they want to eliminate.

#3. One of my favorites from the album, this is amazing :heart2;
#4. I'm just noticing how dull
pure heroine

Sorting out all the issues with all the songs and contestants:
1. Luke, you are allowed to participate in the Comeback round. Five people will be eliminated after this round, leaving 24 contestants. Next week's plans will go ahead as Round 4, and after this is Round 5 which will be the comeback round where anyone who has been eliminated + Luke may send in a song to compete for three spots in the competition.
2.MusicLoverDude, consider this a warning because you had me in tears this morning. This was vicious. I never want to be spoken to like this. I am not going to scout through the entire Season 9 thread to try and find any songs that have been missed off the banned songs list because that was sumthintoxic82's responsibility, and if he's missed off a song here and there, it's really not a big deal. So what if you have to listen to a song twice in your life? It's not a big deal. This is meant to be a fun online game. I didn't even care that much about the banned songs list in the first place, I wanted to get rid of it this season and start afresh. If you have an issue with me, PM me. If you have the time on your hands to go through last season's list, then do it. Clearly you're the one who cares about it so much. And don't even think about doing this to me again. It was a horrible thing for you to do for you to shout at me like that, and I feel disappointed and upset about it.
3. Kamil24, I'm giving you a free pass to come back next round if you would like it. I feel bad about it.
4. DevonDreams, Sorry if I didn't use the same version of the song. I just used the version I had on my iTunes. And your wall post was downright rude. So just don't do that. If you feel like you deserve a pass for this round, post in the thread about it and see if the others agree.
5. For SONG 1, you will receive a penalty this round.
6. For SONG 16, that's not your fault so you will not receive a penalty.
7. For SONG 10, you will receive a penalty this round.
8. The original version of SONG 26 was not a single, therefore they will not receive a penalty as they made no mistake. They asked me about the song as it is the original version, and I said they could use it.
Schedule as follows
There are 29 contestants now (including Kamil), and five will be eliminated this round leaving 24
Next round (Round 4), three will be eliminated
Round 5 is a comeback round and the 19 eliminated (+Luke) contestants will compete for three spots.

And to be honest, this isn't a good excuse. I regularly work 14 hour days and I still have time to listen to things and submit everything on time.
