Use it as your final song since you love it so much?

What mistake? What is going on????

It looks like Scorpio King is planning on dropping out of the competition. And from the "cryptic" "many reasons" and "", I'm sure my direction or judging or something will be one of those reasons...

[Jackson]

If we do go to the finals we should keep the challenge though

[Nait Phoenix]

Yeah, whatever. Let's just see when Scorpio is done what he'll say.

I swear I'd rant if I wasn't feeling like **** right now.

No.

[Nait Phoenix]

If the challenge is too difficult, I can make adjustments. Nothing is set in stone!

[Jackson]

I really like this challenge though
Fefe can go suck a potsticker

If we have a finale this week, assuming we do the same reflection thing we always do () I don't think we should make a song.

What does that mean?

Usually we write a reflection at the finale instead of a song. It always has us just write a little about why we should win and then sometime we pick our best/worst songs and explain why.

I don't mind writing a final song, but I don't think this challenge is finale material really. It's fine for a regular challenge, but the finale challenge should be more... Pow. Or if it's an open challenge type thing, LacksSkill can use the song he wrote already.

Shouldn't we win based off a final challenge though? That makes more sense to me. And having 2 songs (like they did in season 1) for the finale makes sense too.

And I always win the open challenges so bye Felicia

I can't take it anymore. Look, I don't try to make it difficult, but I assume that everyone wants the ante up every round to make it continually interesting. If a challenge is too difficult or you don't agree with what I have said, tell me dammit! I'm not some coldhearted monster who commands you to write songs or styles you don't agree with; last time I tried to be strict, I got a page full. I've tried to be lenient and got minimal results. Now I'm in-between and I still get flaky people and unhappy contestants. I'm not here to hold your hand or baby you, but I don't want quiet conspirators constantly disagreeing with me when they can just tell me what's bugging them. I don't need cryptic ass goodbye letters on this thread, okay? I'm sick and tired of the complaining and bitching that could be fixed with a simple PM; that includes the judges. I don't want to assume you're against me, so if anything bothers you, tell me. This is my first time doing a game like this, hoping I can run it smoothly. It's so damn frustrating, but I never let on how much it's affecting and running my life, because I want you all to be elated coming into this thread.

Please... I just need your support. If you don't support me, how can I be expected to support you? That's all. I'm signing out for tonight. Hopefully I'll get some input by tomorrow...

[Jackson]

I'm always up for any challenge. The last one looked hard but I didn't complain and I got right to work. The language one was difficult but I stuck with my language and slayed it. There has been literally one judge comment I haven't agreed with the entire season. I'm always active in the thread and I've never considered dropping out. And I agree with Nait. If you have something wrong with a challenge or a comment speak up, don't hold it all in until you drop out in the last few rounds as several people have done. It ruins it for the rest of us contestants that work hard every week, trying to get to that finale. I'm here for whatever you guys decide, but please let me finish this game whether I'm eliminated or not. I've been working at this for 2 months now and I'm not ready to give it up that fast.

Hopefully you don't take our current discussion as complaining, Fefe and I are fine with the challenge, we're simply stating that if this is the finale we wouldn't want to have this challenge along with it.

Unfortunately there will always be unhappy contestants which totally sucks and I get that but you can't be hung up too much on the outliers who aren't happy with the game. For some reason, Platinum Hit is the type of game where a lot of people tend or don't submit or get banned. It's not your fault, really...

[feelslikeadream]

I can't speak for everyone of course, but I think those of us who are in the thread a lot (me, GS, Adam, Euphoressay) are happy with how things are run. Just because a couple people aren't happy with the game or have their own personal reasons for not being invested, don't think we all feel that way.

And while it's nice of you to say that you're open to criticism re: challenges and all, I actually think that as host, you have the right to make a challenge as demanding as you want and that it should be our job to make it work. And if we can't, we get eliminated. I wouldn't want to play if every challenge catered perfectly to my strengths, and am glad that some of the challenges this season have forced to me to write in different styles.

So personally, I think this is a great season of the game, the challenges have honestly made me a better, more diverse songwriter, and the thread has been continually exciting and fun to be a part of. I guess that's not really input, except to say you don't need to change anything. You have 3 (and probably 4 ) contestants who are happy to continue and work with whatever challenge you come up with up.

Euphoressay hold on to your wig.

I'll think it over when I get off work and reveal my choice. Honestly, as of now I'm done with this game for multiple reasons but like i said I'll decide when I get off.

The way he worded this made it sound like he already said something in the thread... did I miss something? Maybe he just thought he posted something an he didn't?

BITCH I was rooting for you to win.
Now imma want Fefe to snatch it up real good just to make you pissed.



WAIT.. what's with all these essays though??

[UFO]

Okay so I've read the pages back and messssssssssss

This would've TOTALLY been my round btw, interpretive and third person narrative

[The Original High]

OKAY! First thing's first: let me address any of you who may have any type of feelings from my post earlier. I probably should've put a viewers discretion is advised tag on it. I didn't have time to write a whole essay on what I was feeling. I was at work. I stopped for a second to check the results and I only had a short amount of time to reply which is why I CLEARLY SAID I would reveal more when I got home. So as for that, I'm unapologetic .

Secondly. You. Nait: That was not a

cryptic ass goodbye letters

. IF I was for sure dropping out I would've said it right then and there. Point blank and unreserved. I said what I said. Also, for you and anyone else who thinks I was just complaining about the challenge, this is my FIRST time even seeing the challenge. I have no problem with the challenge. So there's that.

I knew exactly what I was getting into when I signed up for this competition.

HOWEVER I was unaware of how my personal life would interfere with the game and my performance. If anything, I feel as if I'm letting myself down because I don't have the time to really sit down and write a song at this point in my life. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR THREE DAYS AND I STILL SUBMITTED A SONG. I GOT MY WISDOM TEETH PULLED AND I STILL SUBMITTED A SONG. DRUGGED AND ALL. I WORK 65 HOURS PER WEEK, GO TO SCHOOL FULL TIME AND TAKE CARE OF MY HOUSEHOLD AND I STILL SUBMIT SONGS. I have been nothing BUT a team player and supporting and invested so how dare you.

I signed up for this competition one week after spending one whole month in the hospital. I told myself I could do it and yes there have been times where I was ready to give up, but I stuck it out and I took bad comment after bad comment from you judges in stride to better myself as a songwriter because it's something I'm passionate about. If you haven't considered giving up, fine! Hoorah for you. I'm genuinely excited and happy for you. Two thumbs up from me. Wooparty and all that! I'm me and my decisions are my decisions.

One of the many reasons I've stayed and am -/continuing to stay- are because first and foremost I'm proving a point to myself. Secondly, I've made it this far already. Thirdly because I don't think it's fair to the other contestants for me to just drop out abruptly dangering the competition.

So before anyone thinks I'm a cold-hearted bitch, I do think about the other members of this competition. Just so we have no other misunderstandings like this. I hate having to address folks and get snappy.


Thank you all and you have a lovely evening.


And remember....Make your song sing.
