Kelp Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Welcome back everyone to Arbitrary Song Contest (ArSC)! If you're new here, this is a spin-off of ATRL's Song Contest (ASC), where the rules become increasingly random and arbitrary as you go. If your favorite part of ASC is searching for songs that meet the criteria, this game is for you! THIS GAME WILL FULLY BE ON DISCORD, DM ME OR POST HERE FOR AN INVITE # How It Works Each round, you send me a song of your choosing via Discord. Then, you listen to a playlist of all the songs, and rank your top 10. The person(s) who sent the song(s) with the lowest ranking/least points is eliminated! This goes on until a winner is crowned. Every round, three specific criteria will be selected. Let's say the themes one round are (1) song must begin with V, (2) song must be by an American artist, and (3) song must be a #1 hit on Billboard. I could send Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo, because it fits all the criteria given. But I could not send Lovin on Me by Jack Harlow, because it only meets 2/3 criteria # What's New If you have played before, here is what is different from last time: ## Review Visibility **This is the #1 biggest change, if you don't read anything else read this!!** This season, you will not be able to view critiques until you send ranks. Once I receive your ranks, I will unlock the reviews channel for the round to you and you can post your reviews. If I am not around to let you in, you can also send me your reviews and I can post them for you once I'm online. You cannot change your rankings after this!! This will be a bit of an experiment and if we hate it we can change it. Reviews are still mandatory, please still do them! ## Winner's Reward Winners will be rewarded by knowing the themes ahead of time. Because you know the themes first you can also submit early. I guarantee there will be at least 8 hours between when I send you the themes and when the round is posted for everyone. ## Redemption Island Instead of a traditional comeback round, we will be doing a redemption island twist! Every round pre-merge, the eliminated contestants will compete in their own mini-group following the round's theme. The bottom half of the entries will be fully eliminated, while the top half will remain on Redemption Island. This will continue until the merge when two contestants will get to come back. This will be a bit of an experiment so let's see how it goes! If it flops it never existed and we'll do a normal comeback x ## Banned List Like most similar games, we will have a ban list. Once an artist has been sent TWO (2) times, they cannot be sent again. Once you send an artist, you cannot send them again. Additionally, songs can only be submitted once, and the banned song list from last season will be used again to start. I am also banning all songs sent in the most recent seasons of ASC and VL. ## Confessionals Confessionals are back! Your confessional is a space to discuss your entry ideas, rant about the game, and generally use however you want. All viewers will be given access to your confessional unless there is a special request, but no other contestants will ever see it. If there is any information leak out of confessionals, the viewer will be removed. If you would like a confessional, let me know! # Other Fine Print If you haven't played a song sending game before or want to know finer details of the gameplay before we start, read below. ## Pace Rounds will be posted with a 24 hour deadline to send me a song. Then, there is a 2-3 day deadline to listen to the playlist and send me your top 10. If I do not hear from you for either the song sending or ranking, you will be eliminated :/ ## Points and Winning/Losing I will be using the ASC point format for this game. (1st place = 12, 2nd place = 10, 3rd = 8, 4th = 7, etc.). Every round, the contestant with the most points for the individual round (not cumulative) wins. The contestant(s) with the least points for the individual round (not cumulative) loses and is eliminated, so they cannot play anymore. ## Rule-Breaking I will not be checking if your song meets all of the criteria myself! It is up to you to be responsible. If your song is found to not fit one of the rules, you will receive a 50% reduction in your points for the round. Also, please do not tell ANYONE ELSE in the game which song is yours!! This is very much against the rules!! ## User Bans As the host, I reserve the right to bar users from competing due to bad behavior in this or previous song games. This includes things like misogyny, racism, and harassment. I want to keep the game fun, and make everyone feel safe in the server. That's a looooot of text I know but we will have a lot of fun I promise ❤️ let me know if you have any questions and let's have a good time! AGAIN THIS GAME WILL NOT BE ON ATRL, ONLY DISCORD, DM ME OR POST BELOW FOR AN INVITE 1

Pretty obvious now given I was left on read not once, not twice, but THREE separate times that this rule was put in place to keep me from playing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know what y'all think you're accomplishing by doing this - there's no money at stake, I'm not really friends with the majority of the people that normally play (because it's not anyone actually took the time to get to know me over the years aside from a few), and I play other games outside of ATRL anyway with different crowds of people without this type of toxicity attached. I'm blunt and aggressive and abrasive at times, and I said things I regret (yes, I will admit I was in the wrong when I dragged Kelp's singing voice or when I went after Julia Fox for calling my music taste tasteless). But when you then add this twisted narrative that I'm some "racist" and "sexual predator", it's like you guys are asking for someone to be ostracized. Just because I don't blindly stan every Amber Mark, Rochelle Jordan or Victoria Monet song sent in doesn't mean I'm racist. I legit do not understand where the sexual predator comment came about either - I make ONE sex tape joke, Kim Kardashian style that was intended to make everyone laugh and have a sassy sarcastic atmosphere and suddenly everyone wants to scream sexual harassment and kick me out of Discord servers. You guys were just looking for anything to latch onto at that point. Sorry if that offended you guys but ATRL is known for everyone wanting to be messy and BRAT like and I feel like if anyone else had made that joke, no one would have batted an eye. Well, anyways, your loss this season. This doesn't affect me in real life or in other games I play outside of ATRL. Whatever twisted perception you have of me because of your guys's mean girls antics isn't shared with the outside world. Enjoy your season everyone.

Between personally attacking me (and others), and making sexual comments that made everyone uncomfortable (especially me), this goes way beyond just not liking Rochelle Jordan and Amber Mark. I really could not give less of a **** what music you like. There's plenty of people playing that do not stan those people. We have put up with your behavior for years and years and my patience has completely run out. There is no reason we have to include you in this game and you know exactly why, I owe you no explanation. If you have other games to play elsewhere that are less toxic to you then just go play those games and leave me alone.
