Hey, guys! :)

I have an interesting idea for a game. It's called 'Song knockout' and is based on sport single-elemination tournaments.

So, I picked 64 of Linkin Park's songs. They include all the songs from the band studio releases (HT, Meteora, MTM, ATS, LT), as well as HTEP. I excluded the interludes, as well as Tinfoil (as it is basically the same as Powerless). I added New Divide (as a single) and No Roads Left and QWERTY as fan favorites.

I'll be randomly picking 2 songs, which will battle one against the other. The one that receives more votes gets to the next round, the other one is eleminated. We're going to start with 32-finals, then 16-finals, then eighth-finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals, a third place match and a final.

 

Rules:

The first one (me) starts voting for all the matches this way:

(Example) 1) Iridescent 1:0 Don't Stay

2) Somewhere I Belong 0:1 With You

And so on. The second one goes like this, according to his choice:

1) Iridescent 2:0 Don't Stay

2) Somewhere I Belong 1:1 With You

The third one adds another point, for example 3:0, 1:2 and so on.

I guess you got the idea. The only rule is that you have to vote for every single match - you can't have a tie. Even if you love both songs - pick the one you like more.

When some times passes, I'll call the end of the round and post the matches for the next one. I'll wait for an odd number of people to vote, so we don't have any ties in the matches.

 

 

32-finals

2) Victimized 0:1 Numb

I think we did something like this before, but they're always fun.

Well, I remember the song elections, but I guess I missed this. But yeah, they're always fun. :)

 

So, user #3 copies @Castle of Glass' post and changes it with his results. User #4 copies #3's post and so on.

By the way, in case of two people posting at the same time (not very likely, but still possible), the second one has to change his results according to the first one's. If he fails to do that, the third one should copy the first one's votes - he was faster, he deserves it. :lol:

I think the best option was to exclude those instrumental interludes, album intros/outros too.

these instrumentals are not gonna win for sure, but they are songs like the rest and deserve the place in this 'Knockout'. btw, there are some people who like instrumentals songs and songs with vocals equally.

Okay, waiting for one last person to vote. Since this may take a while, here's the deal. If you're not willing to vote for 32 matches, you can only vote for the few ties we have:

 

1) When They Come For Me 5:5 The Little Things Give You Away

5) And One 5:5 Breaking The Habit

24) Roads Untraveled 5:5 New Divide

27) Until It Breaks 5:5 By Myself

 

Of course, if you want to, feel free to vote for all the matches. :)

there's no time limit for each round?

Well, I'm going to set a time limit next round. The time limit for this one was yesterday (although I forgot to mention it :lol:), but every time I get online, an even number of people has voted and there are some ties. That's why I said the next one to vote is going to be the last one. :lol:

Yeah, but this way we can have three semifinals, which means we won't have a final match. Anyway, I'm changing my votes for the four ties, meaning that the songs I voted against continue to the 1/16-finals. Fuck my opinion, the game has to go on. :lol:

 

16-finals

1) Waiting For The End 1:0 Points of Authority

2) A Place For My Head 1:0 Numb

3) Iridescent 1:0 Figure.09

4) Valentine's Day 0:1 Papercut

5) Blackout 0:1 Shadow of the Day

6) Carousel 0:1 In The End

7) Step Up 0:1 New Divide

8) Castle of Glass 1:0 No More Sorrow

9) Wretches and Kings 0:1 QWERTY

10) And One 0:1 What I've Done

12) Lost in the Echo 0:1 No Roads Left

13) The Catalyst 1:0 Until It Breaks

14) One Step Closer 1:0 Robot Boy

15) Pushing Me Away 0:1 Leave Out All The Rest

16) When They Come For Me 0:1 In Pieces

 

This round will end on Thursday evening (European time).

 

The most hilarious part from the first round, imo, is Carousel (a song Linkin Park never played live, at least to our knowledge) beating Burn It Down (their biggest single in the past few years, a song that really got HUGE) 10:0. Wow. :lol:
