DVDTalk Challenge #10
Go Your Own Way

A new type of challenge emerges!

The Songs:
Fleetwod Mac - Go Your Own Way

The Challenge: This challenge is open to drummers and guitarists/bassists. The goal of the challenge is to get the highest score while maintaining the lowest streak!

How Long: 1 Week. Challenge ends 12AM EST on Monday, 05/11/09. Submissions can be made by sending me a PM with screenshots.

Still figuring out exactly how to score this one. I'll open the floor for suggestions. Here's what I've thought of so far.

A) Just go by lowest streak. If two people have the same streak, then score is the tiebreaker.

B) Some type of percentage multiplier? Take the total notes possible and give a reverse multiplier (with a max of say 2x). Therefore, if you have a 1 streak, your overall score is doubled. But if you FC the song, your score is multiplied by 0, thus making you a bona fide loser in this challenge.

Shag - what was the final decision on scoring this one? Lowest streak, then score for tiebreakers? Score divided by streak? Score to the streakth power?

Score divided by streak seems to give the best results, so that's what we're going to go with. Sorry if I didn't clear that up before.

If we have any more of these "lowest-streak" challenges, that'll be the format as well.

An interesting selection, but I'm not crazy about any of those artists except for Elvis Costello. I've just never been a big fan of Radio Radio. I'm sure there are some Disturbed fans that will be pretty happy.

Another cover. :p

Now for some real Cash, please.

In for the Social D pack and both Disturbed...

Ring of Fire is originally a Johnny Cash song

In for Steely Dan and Elvis, but would have preferred some of the other, more popular, Social D tracks .. Still, nice to see a mix of songs the last few weeks. Keep it up guys!

In for the Social Distortion pack and maybe Elvis C. Not a fan of Disturbed. I can't take a guy seriously who keeps making monkey noises.

Dammit. I just bought "Black Friday" on GH:WT. I would have rather have had it for RB.

Oh well.

The Disturbed tracks will be mine. Oh yes. They will be mine.

Not a huge fan of "My Old School" but I am a sucker for anything Steely Dan so I will still likely pick it up. Can we please get some better Steely? Pretty please?
