    Default Farewell 1 Survivor

    Time for the Farewell 1 Survivor, where we vote off the song performances on the DVD / BluRay until we get to the last one standing!

    If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview

    I'm going to list all the songs performed on the concert here. Vote for the performance that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song performance that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for the one you think should GO, not the one you think should stay.

    Note: Do not criticize how/why other people vote. Their reasons are their own and they are free to vote however they like. Also, never attack a fellow poster. You can disagree without making it personal. Sometimes these games can get heated, but remember... it's still just a game.

    Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!

    Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Once the board clock strikes 8:00 pm Eastern on the second day, no more votes will be counted for that round - even if it's only seconds after. Your votes also cannot be changed once you have voted, even if you change your mind or make a mistake. Once it's on the record, that's it - so be careful!

    If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

    If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared. The exception is the last round. If the tiebreaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.

    In order to avoid voter fraud and trolling, we require that you must be "a member in good standing" as defined by the Terms of Service for at least two weeks before the start of the game in order to cast a vote.

    Special note: Due to the fact that there are so many songs, the first 10 rounds will be double eliminations - two songs will go per round. For the first 10 rounds, you can vote for two songs.

    GAME OVER!

    The winner is ...

    I watch the dvd today. It was fun watching it. It's very hard to pick two. Heck any videos to go. Since we're voting for performance, its much harder.

    I'm going to vote for Silent Spring and No More Cloudy Days.

    It's not clear to me whether we are supposed to vote for two songs. Although two songs will be voted off (double elimination), nowhere does it say vote for two songs. I'm sorry if I've misunderstood but I won't vote until this is clarified.

    I probably misunderstood of voting two songs at the same time. I'm sorry about that if its only vote for one songs and the two highest votes is elimination.

    Sorry about that.

    Well, I was leaning towards having one vote per and just cutting the top two vote getters, but since shun has made a precedent, I guess we can all vote for two to go. I imagine it won't affect the outcome much either way.

    I vote for Silent Spring (it isn't really a performance per se) and Wasted Time, since I find it a bit boring live here, although it's a great song on the album.

    So after the 10th round, that's when we vote for only one song right?

    Eeek, I'm an idiot, I don't own this, I'm going to miss the first round! [though I have to say that based on the voting so far, I'm pretty sure I know one of the songs I'd pick]! I ordered it from my public library system, it will be ready for me to pick up at my local branch on Wednesday.

    I missed the 'advance notice' about this Survivor, so I'll have to get my skates on to watch enough of it to be able to vote in round one.

    Voting for two songs in the early rounds is going to make it quite interesting.
