Okay so I just watched the movie Circle on Netflix and I was inspired to do like a 3-5 day long tournament where everybody just votes for someone to eliminate every 2 hours or so depending on the number of participants. No immunity, no challenges, just vote until the final 2 where a challenge will determine who will be the winner.
The rules taken directly from the movie:
You can't vote for yourself.
If nobody votes, a randomizer will decide who will be eliminated.
In case of a tie, there will be a revote.
If nobody revotes or there is still a tie after the revote, all tied players will be eliminated.
The only rule we'll change is that if there is a deadlock tie at F2 then both players will be eliminated.

It sounds basically like another version, slight changes, to Charlie/Sunderland's Last Member Standing.

Also the game will have a definite winner and a prize will be given out.
Can I start it November 20th and open the thread on the 13th |
We are actually cautious and weary of approving another season of CAL for basically two reasons.
1) You as host. We know you and we know you get banned quite a bit. Would you be able to stick around to see this game finished without getting banned right in the meat of things.
2) The game is notorious for being messy AF with many reports, as in posts and the thread itself, with the OP's even choosing to close thread due to the heat. What are these changes you have in store to ensure that history doesn't repeat itself for the millionth time for the game.
We understand that people still really do like the game and want another version back, but with everything that has happened in the past we want to go through the details with a fine tooth comb before even approving or denying a new season.

I think genetic's idea is a good game. I watched the movie, and it's really different from LAMS. I mean essentially, yeah it would be a "slasher" game, but without any superior roles, we're all the same.
I would play.

I think it would be really fun and exciting. There are no challenges other than voting for someone every few hours so noone is safe. I just think it would be really fun!

I feel I'd be able to stay unbanned for this game. When I have a something I'm hosting or something I really want to be a part of, I am not messy. See: ATRL Power 100 and my run in Big Brother. Plus I plan to host this during winter break AKA when I'll have lots of free time, more incentive for me to stay unbanned.
The reason for most of the messiness is due to the charts and I'll admit in the past few seasons I have been a part of that and with me being a host, it'd take away some of the drama. Also, a lot of it was because none of us (some of the main/biggest players) really liked each other. But I've noticed over the past few months with Create a Label having moved to other forums, players from here have grown to like each other more. And if some people do start fighting and try ruining the game for everyone else, I'll have a strike system set up.
Another reason for the game failing a lot of the times is because there's no definite end to the game and I think that with a prize and an official end date/more events happening throughout the season, players will be less likely to quit. Right now I'm thinking of having the game last ten weeks with two award shows, one festival, and a few offers thrown in here and there. Overall, the players will have more incentive to play the whole way through.
With Create a Label currently happening on three separate forums that I know of, it's a highly requested game and one that would definitely have members all around the forum, not just in the game section, talking.

Yesss come through Jax.
I love the idea of having an end date set w/ prizes to keep players motivated, and I def think you're more than capable of seeing a season of CAL through as host. It'd be great to see a return of the game to ATRL.

So will you be playing if it's approved @Pandora? I'm ready for Ari's comeback
But what I'm thinking for prizes will be three prizes for the three labels with the highest overall record sales. Like maybe $15, $20, and $25 dollar itunes cards for the top 3?
And Ima make it so you can only have three artists signed at once because some people REALLY like to hog artists they never use.
Please allow this @Matty. I need to bring a good name to this game! #BringCALBackToATRL #BringCALBackHome

Yep I'll play, and you know what Ariana might make a return now that she'll have tonnes of new visuals coming thru w/ Moonlight.
I really like the idea of the iTunes cards as prizes. Can't wait <33

Why can't I sign-up for an album survivor for Mariah's Merry Christmas album?

I've noticed there's a lot of MC games for various countries' iTunes charts, but I haven't seen any for Spotify yet. Could I make one? I'd use the Global chart so that there'd hopefully be minimal overlap between it and the iTunes MC of any particular country.

Like Matty said, it's pretty much Last Member Standing.
It's more like a Survivor/MC than a tournament, so i'll probably say nope. You can get Matty to take another look, he might disagree.
