My go to pick for “end credits of life” has always been The Simpsons theme lol My alternate to the one I chose is from a film score, but I decided to save it in case that’s a topic we ever do
Later this week or next week I'll send a survey for season two letting people vote on a few things and submit theme ideas, I'll write up a big wordy post so no one misses it :)
It would be cool if, at the end of the season, the site spit out playlists with all of the songs each person submitted.
I don't want to break your heart, but I think we should probably start Season Two in January. The holidays are going to make it pretty hard for everyone to hit deadlines. I'll be out of town a lot starting next week :/
Alternate idea.... to please everyone. I can have Round 1 be holiday songs, but set the round to last from now until Dec 31. So basically just a really long round, at everyone's own pace so there is no stress, but it gives us some holiday music. Kinda like a prelude to the season?? Thoughts?!?!!?!?
SEASON TWO FORM FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS https://forms.gle/R9HZh5MQGkTXNNrD8 A few things to vote on. If you want to fill it out, do so by Saturday, and I will set Holiday Songs live on Monday, with Round 2 to start in January. Lemme know any questions or if you want to add any additional things to vote on. https://forms.gle/R9HZh5MQGkTXNNrD8
Who is Mariuscjz in the league? ZERO upvotes on any of my submissions for the whole season! Savage! Lol
That’s me yeah lol I never paid attention to the accounts behind the songs though, I couldn’t tell you who I voted for a lot or anything

I didn’t really understand what kind of themes work for this the first time we could submit, but I think this time I submitted some real winners
Amazing league, y'all! Now if only I could be doing this well in my partner's league where I'm currently dead last
Yep! Basically there's room for 5 more, unless anyone drops out, I'll post a join link in this thread when it's time to join. I'll give a heads up before I post it so people can make sure to get in. It'll be set at a 20 person max
Of course the person with the Moving Mountains self titled avatar shows up 12 hours after my Moving Mountains self titled song gets absolutely hammered!!
I'm going to set the league live tomorrow (Friday) around noon PST, first 20 people are in. I doubt it's going to be a race to get in, but just wanted to give a heads up to everyone.
