I was thinking of doing a Survivor for After Hours but since it's still relatively new, I wanted to make sure that enough people feel familiar enough with the album to play. Hence - this poll! It will close after a week.

Do you have to ask, Soda?!

If it happens it will be the most difficult Survivor game I have ever played. :grooving: :hmm:

Of course! I think this album would be a very interesting Survivor Game!

I think any Survivor game would be great.

I could not possibly vote anything from this album 'off the island'! I have my two favorites, but the rest change very frequently.

I love Survivor too and I'm in!

Absolutely I would! I think we mentioned this idea in Dublin last June, did we Soda. I love survivors anyway. This one will be difficult though!

Yes we did, GA, and with such a positive response it looks like we'll be scheduling it soon!

The rules are at the start of this thread, which is the most recent we've played.

Looking forward to it everybody!

Absolutely! I was thinking that it would be a good idea to have an AF Survivor while the album is relatively new so we can compare results if another AF Survivor is held later on. I think that the results could be very interesting.

That being said, I agree that this will be my hardest Survivor ever, as is the case with some of the others who have posted in this thread, I would have a hard time voting off any song. I can't even decide on only one favorite song!

As for being familiar enough with it, I don't think I have listened to it enough times yet to be able to properly play the game. :hilarious: :wink: :wink: :wink: :lie::lie::lie: I guess I will have to listen a few hundred more times before the voting begins!

I don't even read the survivor threads! It hurts my eyes and heart to see the negative comments made on a great song as people try to get it voted off. I realize the intent and that over all, it's being said that a given song is the weakest of several great songs, which isn't a bad thing. I'm just bombarded everywhere with negative things being said about the things I love and care about. I don't need to see more of it!

I can see where you're coming from VA. :)

Actually, there are many positive things said, too. It's not always "let me trash this song so you vote it off." It's also "Let me praise this one so you keep it."

If you did, maybe you'd see what I'm talking about. The negative is there, but it exists alongside the positive.

However, I certainly understand that if someone is upset by reading anything negative about any song that person enjoys, these games would not be fun for him/her.

I have read enough of them to see the comments and to know it's not for me (I seldom have strong opinions about things I know nothing about). I did see plenty of positive comments as well, but the last game I tried to follow was for one of Glenn's greatest hits collections, and after about page 3 I had to stop. I wouldn't say I was highly upset by anything I read, but my time is very limited and I need to pick and choose carefully.

I look at it this way; even if there is some negativity it won't change my own mind about songs.

I've got the CD in the player in my car, to get several days listening in before the game starts!

Whatever people say about the songs, it's just a game and I don't take it to heart. They won't change my mind about how much I love a certain song.

Now, this isn't my favorite type of music, but I certainly can appreciate what a fabulous job Glenn does on it and it's so sweet that he did it for his parents.

Alan Jackson did a cd of hymns for his mother a few years ago and it's also really done well too.

It's a favorite of mine as well.

I listened to AH again yesterday as I ran a bunch of errands. Again, my favorite songs (except for the top two) completely changed from the last time I listened to it. I can't even say it's mood dependent, since my mood was about the same as last time. Anyway, I hope the game is fun and interesting!

I'm pretty much with you, Brooke. Plus, what I find in the Survivor games is usually even if someone says something negative about a song, it is usually with the caveat that 'it's not a bad song - I just like this other one better'. More often than not, folks may say something positive about a song that I hadn't thought of before. Either way - I like the idea of expressing different viewpoints about the band's songs, which helps us all have more informed opinions. :thumbsup:

I haven't actually put mine away since May! Its been in my car all summer. I'll definitely love this although as others have said, after my first few favourites it will be so hard to start eliminating them!

Freypower

Taking the emotion out of it will be the hard part.

I haven't even tried to sort out my order of preference for most of the songs. I have one song which stands out a mile & I love all the others. All I have done is change the song I wish to see eliminated second.

I'm making my list now :) Out of curiosity, are we using the standard edition or the deluxe edition for this game?

Freypower

I can't speak for Soda or Dreamer but surely it would be the deluxe version.
