View Full Version : 'No Fun Aloud' Elimination Game

05-11-2010, 07:53 PM
May is what I call ‘Solo Album Release’ month because it is the only month of the year in which all four current Eagles released a solo album. I thought we could use this opportunity to experiment with a new game for one of these solo albums. This game is similar to the Survivor game in that all the songs on the album will be eliminated until there is only one standing. However, since many fans aren’t familiar with a lot of the guy’s solo work, it is not practical to play a Survivor game for any of these albums. So we’ll give this a shot and see how it works out. I am choosing Glenn’s ‘No Fun Aloud’ since it was the most commercially successful and probably has the most recognizable songs of any of the other albums released this month. We’ll see how this goes, and if we have enough participation, then we may try it again for some of the other guy’s solo albums.

This will be an incarnation of other ‘Elimination’ games played on a lot message boards, but I have modified the rules to try to make the game move more quickly. Every song will begin the game with 10 points. Each time you post, you will select one song to add one point to and one other song to subtract two points from. When a song reaches zero (0) it is eliminated from the game. Anyone can play at anytime except you must allow at least two other players to post before you can play again. Before you post, first check the previous player’s post to make sure they tallied the score correctly in their post. If it is necessary to make a correction, clearly state why you are doing so in your post. Then, list the song that you are giving a point to and the song that you are subtracting two points from. You must then copy all of the songs in play from the previous post to your post and revise the tally to reflect your vote. The game ends once there is only one song remaining. Here’s an example:

Songs in the game:

Song A – 10
Song B – 10
Song C – 10
Song D – 10
Song E – 10


Player 1

Song B: +1
Song E: –2

===========

Song A – 10
Song B – 11
Song C – 10
Song D – 10
Song E – 8


Player 2

Song C: +1
Song E: –2

===========

Song A – 10
Song B – 11
Song C – 11
Song D – 10
Song E – 6


Player 3

Song E: +1
Song A: –2

===========

Song A – 8
Song B – 11
Song C – 11
Song D – 10
Song E – 7


Again, anyone can join in and play at any point in the game as long as you allow two players to post in between yours.. So let’s begin and hope everyone has fun with it. Here are the songs on ‘No Fun Aloud’:

I Found Somebody – 10
The One You Love – 10
Partytown – 10
I Volunteer – 10
I’ve Been Born Again – 10
Sea Cruise – 10
That Girl – 10
All Those Lies – 10
She Can’t Let Go – 10
Don’t Give Up – 10

If you need to refresh your memory for some of the songs on this album, then pull out your NFA CD and get busy listening. In addition, Soda has most of the album’s songs available for download on GFO. You can find them on The Grand Index of Multimedia Downloads (http://www.glennfreyonline.com/downloads/multimediagrand.htm) page, Unfortunately, the beautiful I Volunteer and That Girl, as well as, Don’t Give Up aren’t there, nor could I find them anywhere on YouTube.

I Volunteer – 10

She Can’t Let Go – 10
Don’t Give Up – 6

EagleLady - you only give 1 point to a song and take away 2 points from another song. You have to keep the previous person's vote. So, if you give 1 point to I Found Somebody and take away 2 points from Don't Give Up, your talley (which reflects my previous votes) will be as follows:

I Found Somebody: +1
Don't Give up: -2

=======================

I Found Somebody – 11
The One You Love – 10
Partytown – 10
I Volunteer – 10
I’ve Been Born Again – 10
Sea Cruise – 8
That Girl – 10
All Those Lies – 11
She Can’t Let Go – 10
Don’t Give Up – 8

Well, hopefully, after a few more people play, and we iron out all the wrinkles, it will be clearer. I'll try to monitor each post in the beginning until people get the swing of it. Everyone, please ask if you have any specific questions.

Well, I will give it a go, although I don't know if I will do it right!

That Girl + 1
Sea Cruise - 2


I Found Somebody – 10
The One You Love – 10
Partytown – 10
I Volunteer – 10
I’ve Been Born Again – 10
Sea Cruise – 4
That Girl – 11
All Those Lies – 11
She Can’t Let Go – 10
Don’t Give Up – 11

I think that's right (I agree about Sea Cruise....)

WT, if you gave a point to Don't Give Up its total would now be 11. That's right isn't it?

The only problem I have with this game is it doesn't give much of a chance to discuss the songs.

All Those Lies – 11
She Can’t Let Go – 10
Don’t Give Up – 11

I think that's right (I agree about Sea Cruise....)

FP - I'll try to explain this better. Sorry, it's confusing, but I'm sure everyone will get the hang of it after a few tries. When Wildthyme posted, her results were:

I Found Somebody – 11
The One You Love – 10
Partytown – 10
I Volunteer – 10
I’ve Been Born Again – 10
Sea Cruise – 6
That Girl – 10
All Those Lies – 11
She Can’t Let Go – 10
Don’t Give Up – 9

So you must take her results, and then add your scores. So, if you want to vote as follows:

That Girl + 1
Sea Cruise - 2

Then the new score after your vote is:

I Found Somebody – 11
The One You Love – 10
Partytown – 10
I Volunteer – 10
I’ve Been Born Again – 10
Sea Cruise – 4
That Girl – 11
All Those Lies – 11
She Can’t Let Go – 10
Don’t Give Up – 9

The only problem I have with this game is it doesn't give much of a chance to discuss the songs.

Re: Don't Give Up - WT did that correctly - EagleLady took 2 points away from that song, which made the score for the song as 8 points, then WT gave it back a point to make it 9 points.

You can discuss the songs if you want, but this isn't intended to be an ongoing discussion game like Survivor.

I thought you weren't counting EL's vote because she didn't do it correctly. When I was looking at it the scores had not been changed (Don't Give Up still had 10).

I will see what happens after a few more votes & then perhaps I will get the hang of it.

05-11-2010, 08:48 PM
Okay, I can now vote again since at least two other players have posted since I played.

I Volunteer: +1
Sea Cruise: -2

=======================

I Found Somebody – 11
The One You Love – 10
Partytown – 10
I Volunteer – 11
I’ve Been Born Again – 10
Sea Cruise – 2
That Girl – 11

Yes - I counted EL's vote. Every vote counts in the game. The next poster can make a correction if someone makes a mistake, but their vote will still count. After I corrected yours, I voted again and included your votes. Hang in there, and hopefully, it will make sense after we get going. Like I said, if there's anything you're confused about, just ask.

So since I am the last person to vote, the next player will take the results of my post and copy to their post. Then, they should revise the list to reflect their vote.

BTW: Sea Cruise is on the way to elimination, so if you like the song, you'd better vote quickly to save it. :wink:

OK, I will try now:

That Girl + 1
Sea Cruise - 2


=======================

I Found Somebody – 11
The One You Love – 10
Partytown – 10
I Volunteer – 11
I’ve Been Born Again – 10
Sea Cruise – 0
That Girl – 12
All Those Lies – 11
She Can’t Let Go – 10
Don’t Give Up – 9

This eliminates Sea Cruise by my reckoning - my least favourite on this album & in the top 10 of least favourites by Glenn.

So EagleLady - does this make better sense now? If you want to try to play again, give it a shot. If you make a mistake, no problem - I'll fix it for you, and then we'll move on.

And Wildthyme, since two players have posted since you played, you can vote again too if you're still signed on.

FP - normally you would be ineligible to vote at this time since two players hadn't voted since your last post. But I'll go ahead and let your vote stand since we're all still learning.

You tallied the results correctly, so the next player will take your last results and add/subtract their vote. They can actually drop Sea Cruise from the list since it's 'already gone'.

Yes, I'm sorry, I just rushed back here to apologise for doing that. I will now wait for the next two people to vote. :shh: to me.

Well, it's certainly been fun reading the last couple of pages seeing everybody confused by the new game! Oops - Sorry - No Fun Aloud! Hee Hee!

I wish I could play because I actually think I understand, but I only know two songs on the album.

Ive always been a dreamer
05-11-2010, 09:37 PM
Well, PM (and anyone else) - go on over to the The Grand Index of Multimedia Downloads (http://www.glennfreyonline.com/downloads/multimediagrand.htm) page GFO and give them a listen when you get a chance. I think this game will last for a while so if you aren't familiar with the songs, you can give them a listen, and then chime in when you're ready.

And FP - no problem. It looks like we'll get things smoothed out. Hopefully, we will get enough participation to keep it going.

:thumbsup:

Well everyone - sorry that the game got off to such a rough start, but it looks like we are on a roll now. Koala, you played it exactly right in your post. But, if you are going to try to eliminate All Those Lies, I'm going to have to disqualify you. Of course, I'm just kidding about that part. :wink:

Anyway, hopefully, everyone is on the same page now, so I'll just put in reminders if necessary. For anyone playing from here on out, remember to allow at least two other players to vote before you cast another vote. Also, be sure to check the last player's vote tally and correct any mistakes before you play. If you do need to correct an error, be sure to provide a clear explanation as to why you made the change.

So let's charge on and have fun!

( :oops: I forgot - No Fun Aloud!) :lol:

Maybe, maybe not, but I do think the fact that people only get one vote per round in a Survivor would probably alter the outcome. This game is controlled by the people who vote the most often. That's not intended as a criticism - that's how American Idol does it, and there's nothing wrong with that! What's important is that people are having fun. I'm just saying that the outcomes would probably vary as a result of that fundamental difference. I could be wrong, of course.

Well, I agree with Soda. I think we should do a Survivor for NFA. I love That Girl and I am very surprised by the support for All Those Lies, good though it is. No way, however is it the best track on the album. I'm glad I got a chance to vote before the game ended because it has gone much quicker than Dreamer expected.

To me a NFA Survivor game would be a bit redundant at this time. In addition, it would probably be about the same people playing that played in this game, which is not very good participation for a Survivor game. I'm sure the results would be somewhat different, but I'd be suprised if there were significant differences. In any event, I'll go along with it and participate if we do one.

As far as what the best songs are, once again, it's all subjective. FP, you say that there is no way that All Those Lies is the best song on the album, but I happen to think exactly the same thing about That Girl. I believe that All Those Lies is a far superior song to That Girl, and is the best overall song on this album. But that's just my opinion.

Anyway, back to the game ...

It would be an interesting experiment to do a NFA Survivor now. Perhaps we should do a poll to see if there's interest.

I wish I could play because I actually think I understand, but I only know two songs on the album.

At first I thought it was interesting that the two songs I knew were two of the three songs still standing, and then I thought, "Of course they're still in the game. You know them for a reason. They were the hits that were played on the radio. They're good songs." Those two songs are The One You Love and All Those Lies. Not that the other songs on the album aren't good - I've just never heard them because they didn't get airtime on the radio.

BTW, I do remember I Found Somebody now. I first heard it when we played Glenn's Solo Video Survivor Game last year.

There is a mistake in the addition here going back to my last post. My tally was as follows:

I Found Somebody – 7
All Those Lies - 8

EagleLady voted as follows, but then added incorrectly:


I Found Somebody + 1

All Those Lies - 2

I Found Somebody – 9
All Those Lies - 6

So her correct score should have been:

I Found Somebody – 8
All Those Lies - 6

Then Brooke voted as follows:


All Those Lies +1
I Found Somebody -2
----------------------
I Found Somebody – 7
All Those Lies - 7

Since she didn't correct EL's mistake, her vote should be:

I Found Somebody – 6
All Those Lies - 7

Whew! Hope that all makes sense!!! :wink:

So now, I'm going to vote:

If we were to play anything similar for other albums, I think we would definitely need to do some 'tweeking' first.

Rats - I'm home, but about 20 minutes too late! I can just tell you 'I Found Somebody' lovers that if I had been home, then 'All Those Lies' would be the winner!!! :wink: But I'm not too disappointed cause I love 'I Found Somebody' too. As far as I'm concerned, both of the final two songs are worthy of winning the game. The problem is that this album is so good that every song on it is a winner to me.

Congratulations I Found Somebody!!!

And I declare this game officially over.

Thanks to everyone who participated and I hope you enjoyed it in spite of the fact that there was No Fun Aloud.

I love them both. I am very fond of All Those Lies because of the more edgy lyric & the guitar work, but IFS is just Glenn paying tribute to his beloved Memphis R&B so it has the edge for me (and any song which has him proclaiming 'you got me singin' this song' is alright with me).

I was going to post this earlier, but there has been so much happening in the last week or so that I haven't had time. First of all, just for grins, I thought I'd recap the order of elimination of the songs in this game:

1.) Sea Cruise
2.) Partytown
3.) She Can’t Let Go
4.) I’ve Been Born Again
5.) I Volunteer
6.) Don’t Give Up
7.) That Girl
8.) The One You Love
9.) All Those Lies

I Found Somebody outlasted all the others and, therefore, was declared the winner.

Well, as I said at the beginning of this game, this was an experiment and I implemented some rules in order to move the game along quicker than what I had observed on other boards. However, I think I may have gone overboard on this. Honestly, I was expecting this game to take between 2 – 3 weeks to play. Instead, I was totally surprised that we completed the game in about 48 hours! I wanted the game to move along, but I didn’t want it to move that quickly because anyone who didn’t visit the board for those couple of days completely missed out on an opportunity to participate at all. I’m still thinking 2 –3 weeks is a good time frame. If we were to try this game again with another album, I definitely think we would need some more ‘tweeking’.

For what it's worth if it had gone the way I wanted the order would have been:

Sea Cruise
Partytown
She Can't Let Go
Don't Give Up
I've Been Born Again
All Those Lies
I Volunteer
I Found Somebody
The One You Love

which would have left That Girl as the winner, it being my favourite track.

Well, for what it's worth, I'll post my list too. FP, as you can see, it is very different from yours. However, I would reiterate that I love this album. I think it is strong from start to finish, and don't think there are any bad songs on it. I never skip any of the songs when I listen to this album. But, if I have to choose the order to eliminate them, it would go like this:

1.) Sea Cruise
2.) Don’t Give Up
3.) The One You Love
4.) She Can’t Let Go
5.) That Girl
6.) I’ve Been Born Again
7.) Partytown
8.) I Volunteer
9.) I Found Somebody

As I said while playing the game I wanted All Those Lies to win. IMO, it is the best song on the album, overall. To me, it is a great song in every way - great lyrics, music, vocals, harmony, and melody. And besides, I believe it is the only one of Glenn's solo songs that he wrote all by himself.
