Hate it. Dear Season 8 host, please put a casting limit on how many people there will be. Have a literal audition round and let like 30 people through at most. 10 / 5 are really too big for eliminations. I don't think there should ever be more than 3.

I will set the limit to 16 contestants. 24 can sign up but only the top 16 will move past the pre-Round 1 audition challenge.

Waitt the results are coming tomorrow?

Well I've already placed in the Top 3 of the most competitive season of its time, what's one more time?

This one will be a task even for PH regulars. Some of the new guys brought it HARD

One of my highest scores went to someone who's not an ATRL regular and hasn't posted in the thread almost at all, so there might be competition you don't even know of right now

Nothing like your first time

I agree and I even kinda suggested this to TT before the season started

Um... the judges and I have done a flawless job handling 67 sign-ups and 55 entries, so breathe in breathe out

My reviews are coming tomorrow. I can't promise about the results, they were scheduled to come on Sunday, but I had the batches idea and the judges were amazing and fast, so you won't have to wait that long

Of course it will, I'm just flaunting that faux confidence. I've already discussed this (in private PMs ) with multiple other people and I don't think I'll make it as far as I did last season. I mean, statistically speaking, it's very unlikely. And the only way up from where I placed is to win, so.... But it's okay. Obviously I'm "in it to win it" but I'm also here to grow as a songwriter, which is my main reason for signing up again. No matter how far I make it, assuming I even make it past this first round, it'll be good for my songwriting which is what REALLY matters.

BlueM coming hard again though.

I just wanted a reason to use my gifs.

[Bloomers]

I always love to see random GIF usage

Honestly, the batches thing was a great idea. It was the only way dealing with this many contestants could be manageable.

I think TT's coming hard for that #1 game ever. The more contestants that are left in = the more rounds = the more posts and views.

[Stark]

Stop trying to make that gif happen, it's not going to happen.

I'm not saying you haven't done a good job, because you have. I'm just saying eliminations the size of 10 or 5 people just isn't cool, and it'll become more of a problem as this game gets bigger. Maybe instead of having such large seasons twice a year, have smaller seasons more often and really give people a chance to prove themselves. Just my suggestions to the next host, not a critique of you

[Aurora]

I hope I'm in the Top 20!

The secret is to give better advice to the more active contestants so they stay in and keep posting

This was a hit gif like 6 months ago though

The one with the splits maybe not, but my first one is smashing in the Pokemon thread!

I don't care about the #1 game ever. GotSkill may or may not quote that or bookmark it, but I would finish the game and run it even with 100 posts and 3 contestants tbh. Season 6 helped me out a lot and that's my only goal for season 7, to read good songs and help people improve a bit and gain confidence through winning challenges or getting solid placings.

And thank you for the batch praise. That idea, and the fact that the deadline ended like 12 hours ago and 3/4 of the scores are in, proves we didn't need to limit the sign-ups to pull off the game
