JHF1870 if you give us a shit theme for the 1000th one we will hunt you down

 

[Hydatina Physis]

Going to sound convenient given my nom was just awarded it but should we hold a vote post-1000 as to whether or not we do away with the billy? I doubt it would get over the line but there's a few of us that lean that way I'm sure. The next 1000 rounds could be purely celebratory. Not infrequently do I find myself giving the billy at random if the playlist is decent or all tracks have merit. Just seems pointless sometimes. I do understand it's reason for existing though.

It could help retain participants to do away with it, I'm reckon some people care when their nominations get billied.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Stay tuned for an announcement re: 1000 rounds celebration.

Coming soon.

I obviously can't speak for everyone, but I feel that the general consensus is to keep it. A big reason that it acts as a tiebreaker but, given tied winners are decided on countback, we could just do the same if there's no billy? Keep in mind there's other reasons people want to keep it too.

Keep the Billy but don’t have it mandatory?

EDM round for the 1000th surely

I do agree on the general consensus being pro-billy. Reckon this is the best time to address it going forward and either change or put the topic to bed with a vote. Getting rid of the billy could help freshen up the joint in my opinion. But as I said, I don't see it changing.

 

[Hydatina Physis]

Keep the Billy but don’t have it mandatory?

Yeah I like that.

I like the Billy because it forces everyone to listen to all songs. Also as someone who noms niche genres frequently I’d like to know that everyone will give it a fair chance, even if it gets the Billy.

Otherwise as soon as you know a song won’t be in your top 5 you’d skip it.
