Edited by: Xiozor on 18/05/2011 19:54:23 Edited by: Xiozor on 18/05/2011 19:52:40 It's competition time chaps!
I was poking through my hangar deciding what would be up for the chopping block and I figured I wouldn't offer any second or third prizes and instead offer a winner takes all for first.
The grand prize is a fully rigged and T2 fitted mystery faction battleship for your PvP needs, and all you need to do is sing a song for it!
Rules:
- Post with you main, noobcorps/obvious alt corps will be disregarded.
- You are allowed one submission each.
- Submissions must be in before midnight of 30/05/2011.
- No cheating! You must provide something identifiable in your audio, either the days date, your character name etc during an instrumental or afterwards to prove you didn't rip the audio off a youtube video.
- Songs may be with, or without backing track.
- You have to sing the whole thing.
- You can't sing your own songs, this is Karaoke after all.
- You will be scored by myself and my very own panel of expert judges all of who are musically inclined.
- The winner will be announced on June 5th.
- Only the first 100 entries will be counted. Sorry, even I have limits.
- You will be judged by the difficulty and awesomeness of the song, how much effort you put into it (such as if you want to upload your submission to youtube and include a video of your interpretive dance of the lyrics) and of course how well you perform it.
How to submit an entry?
There are plenty of websites and programs out there which offer voice recording or karaoke such as http://vocaroo.com/ and http://www.redkaraoke.com/search-songs but any will do fine, and all you need to do is post the link up along with the artist and title of your song.
Please note that I reserve the right to introduce "Golden Turkey" awards and prizes for anything which I deem deserves it. ----------------------------------------------- Mr.Kippling just launched a nuclear holocaust at third world countries! ... But he does make exceedingly good cakes. |

Have little to none singing talent, so it's out of question for me. But I really like the idea and will follow this thread closely, good luck with finding participants :3

Just confirming that I will be leading by example and providing an averagely sung rendition of "Safety Dance" by Friday, whether you feel as though you have singing talent or not, you might as well submit because who knows, you might qualify for a golden turkey, everyone else might be worse and it will be a lot of fun ----------------------------------------------- Mr.Kippling just launched a nuclear holocaust at third world countries! ...

you missed a trick here dude.
add a condition that you must sing on SOMEONE ELSE'S teamspeak/vent. ideally as part of an interview or fleet op. all singing must be spontaneous and you must finish. extra prizes for provoking unconstrained rage among the locals.

Edited by: Xiozor on 19/05/2011 10:59:09 Limiting the scope of the contest probably isn't in its best interest as it would generate even less of a response, however I am sure that such a display of balls would win some you some points ;) ----------------------------------------------- Mr.Kippling just launched a nuclear holocaust at third world countries! ...

Edited by: Merkus Letifer on 19/05/2011 13:38:50 Claiming song and lyrics for posterity:
Come gather around people Wherever you roam And realize the universe Around you has grown And believe me that soon YouÆll be singing this song If your subscription is worth savin'à Then you better undock Or youÆll drift like a rock For the times, they are a'changin'
Come wingmen and heroes WhoÆre paying with blood Be wary! Wake Up! ItÆs time to slap the clone DonÆt take it for granted The Nerf is not done And thereÆs no way to tell whatÆll be nextà æCause the balance of the now It will get a lot worse then For the times, they are a'changin'
Come FCÆs and Leaders Please attend to our call DonÆt just stand here in Jita Come spam the local For he who is kept silent Will suffer the most As the storm on the forums is ragingÆà. ItÆll soon shake our stations And rattle our hulls àFor the times, they are a'changin'
Come brothers and Sisters Come glide through the stars And donÆt crucify People you canÆt understand RMTÆs and Botters Are beyond our command All their names are rapidly surfacing Please stop ****ing around And lend us a hand For the times they are a'changin'
The decision is made The patch was announced The ship that was slow Is soon to be fast And the company we know ThereÆs none quite like them And their sign on the wall is kind of fadin' All the flames and the whines Will all soon be gone All the Blobbing and Blotting Will burn in the Sun All the Vets of today Will have Noobs on the way For the times they are a'changin'

Fabulous prizes to be won, may I add that all golden turkey prizes are significant and might be given out for reasons which show no merit of musical talent or ability. ----------------------------------------------- Mr.Kippling just launched a nuclear holocaust at third world countries! ...
