Can we please have another spinoff?

Any suggestions for spinoff themes? Once we have a few ideas we can open a poll and try to revive this

 

[dogmeat]

Genres 3 (The host picks a genre. All entries must be of that genre. The previous two were folk and industrial)

 

[dogmeat]

Some other themed spinoffs I liked:
- Anything (A spinoff where you can send literally anything, as long as it's technically possible)
- Effifestivalen (Everyone sends a different song for each other participant, trying to send whatever they believe they'd like most)

 

[Ewigkeit]

Melodic Picture 3 (?)
AATW

 

[Stargazer]

Year Randomizer (Participants suggest a year each, which are then randomized and you must send an entry from the year you're given)

(Not sure how many times this theme has been done, if any.)

 

[tuorem]

I'm not familiar with spinoffs and whatnot, but I told myself why not help you to find ideas. Sorry if it's been done before.

Rainbow Rumble (every participant has to send a song whose title has a colour in it)
Life Is A Movie (every participant has to send a song featured in the soundtrack of a movie)
The Alphabest (randomize the alphabet and give each participant a letter according to the list. Every participant has to send an artist whose stage name starts with that letter)
Number 13 (every participant has to send a song that must be the thirteenth track of an album)

Languageception : the entry must be sung in neither English nor in the mother language of the artist.

Brilliant idea! The first thing that came to my mind was some of Weird Al's Japanese stuff

I actually got this idea thanks to Japanese singing in German.

Haha I actually went to a Hatsune Miku concert not so long ago. Surreal experience. Didn't know she sings in German too, that's awesome

 

[berlyda]

Yes, absolutely! Covers & Remixes has been a pretty popular spinoff category in the past

Ah no, that was someone else Actually there are Vocaloid German songs, but I don't know if they're official or not.

Is there a way to hide poll results until closed on the new forum?

Is there a way to hide poll results until closed on the new forum?

I think no (or not yet?). There are only 3 options: "Allow voters to change their votes", "Allow the results to be viewed without voting" and "Display votes publicly"
I didn't choose the last two, but still the results can be seen after voting.

 

[theditz83]

Hmm that's an issue - perhaps good to let Trece/Matt know in case it's a setting they can adjust quickly?

 

[Veronika]

Ok, I already messaged Trece. Let's see.

 

[Veronika]

Yaaay, I think we managed to solve the problem and it's working fine now!
So, please vote!
