Song Identification Tournament!
 


So, I came up with a little guessing tournament of sorts. It's rather simple, and is just a little bit of a see-what-you-know-about-FFR game.

1. You will be viewing videos of FFR games being played, on a keyboard. Based on those videos, you will get to submit guesses as to what you think the song being played is. Feel free to check out the Tournament Tutorial video; the link is under the Videos category.

2. Submit your guesses to me via PM. Some are easy, some not so much. DO NOT POST ANSWERS, GUESSES, OR HINTS IN THIS THREAD OR ON MY COMMENT WALL OR YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

3. I will tell you which songs you got right and which songs are wrong. For wrong answers, you may then guess again. The catch, however, is that you only get two guesses as to what each song is. Choose wisely!

4. For each song or set amounts of songs you can guess correctly, you will gain guesser rank. As we advance through the tournament, that rank will (hopefully) continue to increase. At the end, the FFR players with the most correct guesses will win credit prizes and recognition as FFR's most observant players on step patterns and finger movement.

5. The tournament sign-ups are now open. Due to the fact that I welcome late entrants, they will not close. Round 1 will begin July 1st at 10:00:00 AM (server time) (time has shifted forward due to change in work schedule. The round will end as planned). Rounds last 3 days. This does not mean you cannot guess for previous rounds. It simply means the next two videos are released.

(Videos for the round will be made public at the start of each round.)



Round 1
Round 2
Round 3



Round 4
Round 5
Round 6

A. Please, don't help or give hints...If I decide to, that is up to me and they will be given at times when it will not be unfair to any entrants. Helping others is prohibited. I mean, you want to win, don't you?
B. I reserve the right to at any time, and for any reason disqualify an entrant if I deem it necessary. As there are no divisions, I expect no conflict in that area.
C. Late entrants are welcome, but I'll warn you now that if you don't start in with us, it might be overwhelming to catch up and watch all the videos to have a good shot at winning.
D. There are a few ways to go about narrowing down choices very easily...I ask for the sake of the fun of this tournament, shy away from something that will narrow results of what it could be from the start. Challenge yourselves!
E. Though there are rounds, that is the set date for the release of the next video. There is no deadline for guesses, but anything that has not been guessed on by the start of the final round is considered null and void.
F. There will be six rounds, each lasting three days. Each round, two videos will be released. Therefore, there are six new songs to guess each round.
G. In the event of a tie after the final round, the tournament will be extended in order to resolve the tie. In the extra rounds, only the tied individuals will guess at the new songs.
H. All song guesses only need to include the song title, unless there are more than one in the game. Please, be accurate when guessing so I don't have to guess at what your guess might be.

Status is awarded based on the number of correct answers you have given. The more you get correct, the further up you advance. Here is the breakdown:

Rank = [Number Correctly Guessed] Comments
15 = [1-4] Duh
14 = [5-8] Noob Guesser
13 = [9-12] FFR might be MySpace to you still

12 = [13-16] I'm convinced you play FFR
11 = [17-19] You get on every week or so to play your favorites
10 = [20-22] You've been around a variety of FFR files

09 = [23-25] Observant Player
08 = [26-27] Decent knowledge of files
07 = [28-29] Been on the site a while?

06 = [30-31] You get on daily to play
05 = [32] You've played most songs on FFR. Multiple times
04 = [33] You have 600+ FC's and no bf/gf

03 = [34] You whore the songs I happened to choose?
02 = [35] You have way too much free time
01 = [36] Stalker. Were you watching the whole thing through my window?
As a few of these videos are of songs that should be rather easy to guess, the beginning ranks will be bunched in groups. As the guessing gets into the more difficult songs, the rank is broken down more in order to provide an obvious set of winners. Ultimately, winners will be decided on an "amount of correct answers" basis. In the event of a looming tie, I will create a tiebreaker video of three songs with no hints. Guesses will be submitted and recieved in the same fashion as the normal rounds.



Final Prizes will not be determined until the near end of the last round due to possible contributions. Current breakdown goes as follows:
1st Place - 30,000
2nd Place - 25,000
3rd Place - 20,000
4th Place - 15,000
5th Place - 10,000
6th Place - 1

Total Pot: 100,001


Donors:
justin_ator - 100,001. . . of my 166,000 . . .

And also...I'm not asking for this by any means, but if someone with a bunch of credits wanted to donate, I would greatly appreciate it. I don't have a whole lot to work with. PM me if you have any interest in that or if you do send them, as I might not notice right away.

PS: The Bonus, available at the beginning of Round 4, is up for guessing for 10,000 Credits, not tournament advancement. You may post hints and discuss the bonus, and the bonus alone, in the thread. The downside to this is that only the first person to correctly guess the answer will receive the credits. You must PM me the answer to the Bonus, as with a typical video guess, but you are not limited to two guesses. If I feel you are excessively throwing out random guesses, I will give you fair warning before disqualifying you from the bonus song guessing.


At the end of each round I will update this with the current leaders and ranks.

I hope you guys have fun with this, and good luck.
If you have questions, please feel free to ask me.
I hope this goes well, I put a lot of work and time into this.

Zekramcross 06-25-2011 07:08 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Ah Nice concept. I like guessing games so I'm in.

EDIT: By the way, Video 10 is backwards. Just a heads up.

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
XD we used to do this in the house when it was me, AJ, Frankie and Eric.

In

Guest15937 06-25-2011 07:15 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Since I got the intro video's song pretty easily, I'm in.

One Winged Angel 06-25-2011 07:27 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
at first I was like 'da fuc, I have absolutely no idea, better not join', but then I went through my levelranks and was like 'ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'

in, even though every tournament I join I end up doing nothing lmao...hopefully that'll change since this'll require less effort on my part

SocoNhydro420 06-25-2011 07:30 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
ill participate, sounds fun and i could use the credits :3

One Winged Angel 06-25-2011 07:32 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
also I'm going to be a complete ****** and point out that it'll be kinda easy to get every single song right using some of the resources we have at our disposal on this site :/

justin_ator 06-25-2011 07:38 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
OWA, I realize this, but I would ask that you guys take up the challenge and do it without using the easy ways to figure this out. This has the potential to be fun, but if you really wanna ruin it for yourself, you could. And I don't take any offense to you pointing that out.

Also, Zek, I know. =] In due time, you'll understand.

Edit: I'm foreseeing potential ties in the end, I'll work on a way to do the tiebreakers that eliminates some of the easiest ways to "cheat" on it.

~Zeta~ 06-25-2011 07:46 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
This is actually pretty cool. Definitely checking this out.

EDIT: Love the rankings.

Hate to agree, but I agree. Concept still sounds very fun. ^_^ If I weren't so lazy I'd join.

Zageron 06-25-2011 08:43 PM

in sure

lol got the intro song

In

Also is video 10 upside-down because that chart will be mirrored???????

rushyrulz 06-25-2011 09:44 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
so in lol

Quote me for spoiler on introduction song :)

SocoNhydro420 06-25-2011 10:15 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
try to play each song on an offline engine, or play as not being logged in. that might help with the cheating

justin_ator 06-25-2011 10:23 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Soco, two things:

I did play on an offline engine.
All the videos are already made and up. They're all just set to private on YouTube. =] If I have to do extra songs for the tiebreakers, rest assured they will be done on an offline still.

Ziergdsx18 06-25-2011 11:22 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
sounds fun lol, in.

bballa48 06-26-2011 09:47 AM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Cool, I'm in.

justin_ator 06-26-2011 01:55 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Update, I decided to make a slight change to the videos. I will only be showing

A PORTION

of each of the songs, that way song length cannot be used to limit your options. =]

That being said, it will not be a major change. You will still get the majority of the songs played, so it won't be like impossibly hard to guess them. It will just be enough to throw off those who would try to use song length. =]

(and no, I'm not going to cut the same amount out of them, nor will it be a percentage of the song. You won't be able to calculate the length. =])

And OWA, I would like to speak to you privately in my office for a second.

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
If you are still signing people up then I'm in. Also for each song, do you have the sound turned off or would that make it too hard?

BIGEZAY 06-26-2011 03:14 PM

in :D

I'll try to make this clearer in the OP, but sign-ups never close til Round 6.

And also, the videos will be EXACTLY like the Introduction video there. Feel free to watch it and see what they will be like.

00Razor00 06-26-2011 03:21 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Nice layout, haha. In.

justin_ator 06-26-2011 11:31 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Thanks...took a little while to do =]

EDIT: Update, videos are almost all fixed. Song length will no longer be able to give away files, as the videos are all cut at random times in the songs.

Really cool idea, count me in.

justin_ator 06-29-2011 11:15 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Spread sheet and Videos 1-4 are uploaded and ready to go! Youtube's being dumb, I'll get the edited videos for 5-12 up with plenty of time before those rounds.

Only one more day before we begin!

I'll send out profile reminders to the entrants on Friday before we start.

ChessWizard 06-30-2011 12:16 PM

Intro song was fairly quickly gotten, yeah


In I suppose

megamon88 06-30-2011 02:20 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
I guess I'll try this out.

Tidus810 06-30-2011 02:45 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
In please. :)

ScarletSky 06-30-2011 03:04 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Hmm.. might try this out. By the way your rank descriptions work, I'd be #2 right off the bat xD.

But I play with a headset, so I don't hear my taps... this may be harder than I thought. >.>

GHEZ119 06-30-2011 03:27 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
I'm in, sounds fun. :3

justin_ator 06-30-2011 09:54 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Announcement:

(Also going in the main post)

Edit:

Should've unhid the videos while you were at it. -_-

justin_ator 07-1-2011 07:53 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Okay so, there was a problem this morning with me getting on because my two-year old sister took priority over me because she was watching a movie on the computer...

I am super sorry guys. Round one is up and ready now. The round will end as planned, since you can guess even after the round ends. Good luck, and again I apologize.

Zageron 07-1-2011 08:22 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
I can sing every one of these songs in my head, using the instruments used in the mp3s. But I can't name them... :|

ScarletSky 07-1-2011 09:05 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
DDD:
I give up, count me out.

ChessWizard 07-1-2011 09:06 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Mmm, I'm close to giving up too. Here's my look at the 1st 2 videos:

Video 1: "Hm... not bad, not bad" *gets 2/3*

Video 2: "WAT :shock:"

justin_ator 07-1-2011 09:13 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Don't quit guys. I'll start releasing the hints with the videos.

Video 1 - Between 2 and 8 in difficulty

Video 2 - Rock Genre

psychoangel691 07-1-2011 09:17 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Man I already had almost all of em with no hints. Don't give hints this early :(

I was only missing two and that was the last two on the 2nd vid. And I know I know them just trying to pinpoint it.

justin_ator 07-1-2011 09:20 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
ChessWizard, I'm going to have to take and count your first guess on Song 1. Lucky for you, it was correct.

justin_ator 07-1-2011 09:26 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Okay, I have decided that the hints for this round are out and will be left as is, but the next rounds will not have hints unless there is dire need because nobody can guess them.

ScarletSky 07-1-2011 09:29 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
... Yup I'm out, I don't know ANY songs between 1-9 difficulty.

Zekramcross 07-1-2011 09:31 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
I'm out too. This is too hard for me at the moment.

kjwkjw 07-1-2011 09:36 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
This is harder than I expected.

EDIT: One of the songs just came to me randomly. Four more to go, rofl.

Emithith 07-1-2011 09:38 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Video 1 is pissing me off, but I think I will join since the 1st song was EASY.

YoshL 07-1-2011 09:58 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
i'm out.

psychoangel691 07-1-2011 10:00 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
:( people are quitting way too fast. Give it a chance. They don't always come to you right away. I'm still stuck on the very last one. I did not think it was a rock song and I can't seem to find it. I'm pretty much 100% sure that I have all the others correct though.

justin_ator 07-2-2011 09:59 AM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Alright, Emithith, you're in! Added to the spread sheet and ready to go. Also, updated.

If you guys that quit change your minds, you can always rejoin until the last round, no penalty. Just means you'll have more songs to catch up on. There will be FMO's and FGO's and stuff coming up.

kjwkjw 07-2-2011 10:39 AM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Think I got all 6 of them !_! (Song 5 took me quite a while haha)

justin_ator 07-3-2011 01:43 PM

You did, kjw.

Zageron 07-3-2011 06:38 PM

Too busy to do this. Packing, travelling, programming. Sry. out. :[

justin_ator 07-3-2011 06:44 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Mkay. Out of curiosity, what do you program/administrate on FFR?

stavie33 07-3-2011 07:01 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
don't know when this was started, but I'm in if that's okay, sounds fun!

justin_ator 07-3-2011 07:05 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
You're only two days in, it won't be much of a problem for you. =] Get to guessin!

pretty much this. VC+ I know all of them by heart, everything else I've played them, but I can't call the chart.

so nearly everything.

justin_ator 07-3-2011 07:26 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
C'mon stavie, don't give up just yet. Do some diggin! Try to narrow it down by difficulty, etc...not all of these will come to people right away.

Emithith 07-3-2011 08:34 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
I'm not submitting my answers on video 1 until I know all 3, just so you know. They both sound familiar. I just can't remember what song I remember it from.

justin_ator 07-3-2011 08:39 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Take your time. Just don't end up forgetting! Lol. =]

EDIT: for those of you that dropped out you can still rejoin.

Emithith 07-3-2011 09:27 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
This contest is QUITE like those Chocographs in FF9. lol
Also, I don't know why the hell people know songs 2 & 3 and I can't figure it out.
I'm sure I'll get it though. :P

justin_ator 07-3-2011 10:08 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
I honestly don't even know what you're referring to, so it was obviously purely coincidental. Lol.

stavie33 07-3-2011 10:20 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
I'll try. If I can submit answers for round 1 tomorrow, I'll try, but I started way too late to figure them out by midnight.

justin_ator 07-3-2011 10:23 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
As stated in the OP, you have until the final round to submit guesses on ANY video and round.

megamon88 07-4-2011 12:20 AM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
I can't seem to get the last one... I've spent way too much time on it.

EDIT: Wow I'm retarded

justin_ator 07-4-2011 11:48 AM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Round 2 is beginning!
because I have to leave early again today...

Go go go!

Round 2

GHEZ119 07-7-2011 04:16 AM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
I'll get round to this later, will be hard for me with my limited FFR knowledge, but whatever. x_x

justin_ator 07-7-2011 02:15 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Relative disinterest in this....you guys that are actually trying have a really good shot at winning lol... Keep it up. Round 3 will start as soon as I get the videos up. I'm going to forge ahead and finish this, even if people stop submitting...just fyi. So try, and you have a good chance you'll be in the top.

Round 3

Round three is on!

In about 8 minutes when Video 6 finishes processing :P Lol

justin_ator 07-11-2011 10:59 AM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 


Round 4

All up and ready to go.

DossarLX ODI 07-18-2011 07:33 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Is there any set time when the other Rounds will start?

justin_ator 07-18-2011 08:58 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
They were supposed to be started already honestly, but considering I have had one guess submission since round two, I haven't updated it...I think I'll start the next round tomorrow, and then the final round will last from the 21st to the 25th. You have a decent chance of getting somewhere if you actually guess, seeing as nobody else is still guessing...

DossarLX ODI 08-5-2011 11:41 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
R.I.P.

This was a good tournament idea but submissions were a problem. My first tournament also had lack of submission syndrome haha

justin_ator 08-5-2011 11:44 PM

Re: Song Identification Tournament!
 
Yeah, I've ditched this... Submissions went out the door after the first three rounds. Oh well..fun while it lasted, and fun making them.
