When you read the headline, you probably had one of those thoughts:
1) What the hell is a Eurobeat Guessing Game?
2) Didn't this guy do such a game several years ago (on IDFW)?
... Probably the first one.
A few years ago, in the end of 2011, I planned a Guessing Game where you try to guess a whole tracklist of a non-stop megamix album. This was planned for "Best of Non-Stop SEB 2011" which never was released. As you may know, there was not a single SEB in 2012 and so I forgot about my idea.
Now, I want to tell you the rules. You just have to guess which tracks will appear on 235. Yeah, that's all. For each correct song you gain points.
Note: This is not a wishlist! Be aware of that while choosing your tracks.
Song appears on album: +1
Song has the right track number: +3
In my original idea, I've had some additional points like "appears on correct disc". Since it's a single-disc album, this would be useless. If you have an idea to make this system any better, please tell me.
Example:
The player with the highest amount of points is the winner... obviously.A player is guessing:
1) A/A
2) B/B
3) C/C
4) D/D
5) E/E
The real tracklist looks like this:
1) B/B +1 (song apperas on disc)
2) E/E +1 (song apperas on disc)
3) C/C +1 +3 (appears on disc and has the right track number)
4) G/G +0
5) F/F +0
In the end, the player would get 6 points.
You can post you personal lists until one week before release or until the tracklist will be released... which almost never happens more than a week before.
If you have any suggestions and ideas for this little game, let me know. Even if it's just a dumb and useless idea, say it. If we have enough participants, I'd like to play this guessing game the next time a megamix is announced, too.
