Wittenberg

Only a couple months late  ;)

What is this about: https://talossa.proboards.com/thread/13646
What are the results so far: https://talossa.proboards.com/thread/13667/

We'll start the coming days with the category with the lowest scoring winner, which is

Songs released in 2018/2019

As a reminder the results so far are:

1. ?
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. Editors - Hallelujah (So Low)
6. David Guetta & Sia - Flames
7. Cosmo Sheldrake - Come Along
8. Gorillaz - Tranz
9. Miranda Lambert - Track Record
10. Gabby Barrett - I Hope

Will the best song of 2018/2019 be Bury My Bones, High Hopes, Old Town Road, or Radio. Stay tuned to find out... (comments welcome)

This was my own vote on 2018/19 (not very surprising probably):

Radio 12
Hallelujah 10
Flames 8
Tranz 7
Come Along 6
Bury My Bones 5
Old Town Road 4
High Hopes 3
I Hope 2
Track Record 1

This also means High Hopes will be automatically nominated for the next regular TMT20 edition (if there is one).

Next up:

German language songs

Reminder of the results so far:
1. ?
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?
6. Kraftwerk - Radioaktivität (The Mix)
7. Peter Schilling - Major Tom
8. Peter Fox - Alles Neu
9. Mo-Do - Eins, Zwei, Polizei
10. Laing - Nieselregen

This week we'll find out whether the winner will be 99 Luftballons, Das Model, Haifisch, Rock Me Amadeus, or Vienna Calling

Annoyingly, what stopped Rammstein from finally winning a TMT edition (and also from coming second in the previous category) was first round votes, because this was actually a tie. Oh well...

<sub>Own scores:

12 Haifisch
10 Radioaktivität
8 Vienna Calling
7 Das Model
6 Major Tom
5 Nieselregen
4 99 Luftballons
3 Alles Neu
2 Rock Me Amadeus
1 Eins, Zwei Polizei

(though tbh I would rate both Falco songs and everything in between about the same.)</sub>

This also means Haifisch will be automatically nominated for the next regular TMT20 edition (if there is one).
(Rock Me Amadeus was eliminated in the regular tmt in 2018 and therefore does not qualify.)

Next up:

Songs to play while overthrowing the government

7. The Clash - Rock The Casbah
8. Edvard Grieg - In The Hall Of The Mountain King
9. Pussy Riot - Putin Lights Up The Fires
10. Boots Randolph - Yakety Sax

Next week we'll find out whether the winner will be Africa, Fortunate Son, God's Gonna Cut You Down, Know Your Enemy, Mars, The Bringer Of War, or Uprising.

Edit: this was a post that mistakenly claimed that Mars came in 6th place.

Woops, messed that up... Earlier I couldn't be bothered to organise my excel file properly and I knew that was gonna cost me at some point.

Mars should have been 5th.

Real 6th place coming up...

Anyone see where this is going yet?

If I don't deliver now, will there be an uprising?

This also means Uprising will be automatically nominated for the next regular TMT20 edition (if there is one).

Next up:

7. Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon
8. Tina Turner - River Deep, Mountain High
9. Mama Cass Elliott - Make Your Own Kind Of Music
10. Yoko Ono - I Felt Like Smashing My Face In A Clear Glass Window

Next week we'll find out whether the winner will be Chandelier, I Will Survive, Sweet Dreams, The Mother We Share, Waking Up or Zombie

Glüc not banned from New Witt 🎉🎉🎉

Maybe I should ban you instead, for not giving 12 points to Glvschten.

Anyway, this also means Sweet Dreams will be automatically nominated for the next regular TMT20 edition (if there is one).

Next up:

7. Balsam Range - Stacking Up The Rocks
8. Toby Keith - Beer For My Horses
9. David Allen Coe - You Never Even Called Me By My Name
10. Marty Robbins - El Paso

(Note that fewer points total were awarded to this category than the last two, but the winner still managed to get more points)

Next week we'll find out whether the winner will be Big Iron, Calm After The Storm, Copperhead Road, Emmylou, or On The Road Again

This also means Big Iron will be automatically nominated for the next regular TMT20 edition (if there is one).

Next up, the final (and most popular category):

Movie Themes

Reminder of the results so far:
1. ?
2. ?

4. ?
5. ?
6. ?
7. John Williams - The Hologram/Binary Sunset [Star Wars]
8. John Barry & Orchestra - James Bond Theme [Dr. No]
9. Henry Mancini - The Pink Panther Theme [The Pink Panther]
10. Christopher Cross - Arthur's Theme [Arthur]

Soon we'll find out whether the winner will be Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, Davy Jones, Love Theme From The Godfather, Man With A Harmonica, The Ecstasy Of Gold, or The Imperial March

Ok, time for the last category winner reveal (finally!)

The winner in this category not only got the most points overall, but also won with the biggest margin.

This means A Man With A Harmonica will be automatically nominated for the next regular TMT btw (as Ecstasy of Gold was eliminated in the 2019 edition).

That also raises the question

will we have enough people who want to nominate songs and vote on the next edition?

And if so, are people more likely to consistently participate if voting periods are short but the whole  games takes place in a month or so, or if voting periods are longer but as a result the whole game also takes much longer?

Also, perhaps other people are interested in organising the next edition (preferably in the same format as last regular edition, which I think was the most succesful so far).
