With day 1 coming to a close, we finish the story of Brian, who has been eliminated with 76/154 votes.

Nightfall, Age of False Innocence, Weird Dreams, and All the King's Horses survive and move to the next wave!

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG! THE ONE YOU WANT TO ELIMINATE!

Alright bards, let’s do something ridiculous. I ran a song contest a while back in the leadup to the release of The God Machine, and with a new album on the horizon, I am back to mess around again. ;)

I’m going to run a full Blind Guardian song survivor contest using the complete song list I’ve put together. The goal is simple: we eliminate one song per day until only one remains.

-How voting works-

Each day, I’ll post a Reddit poll with six songs.

Vote for the song you want to eliminate.

Not your favorite. Not the one you want to save. The one you want thrown into the abyss.

The song with the most votes at the end of the poll is eliminated.

-How the batches work-

The songs will be divided into randomized six-song batches.

Once a song appears in a batch and survives, it will not appear again until the rest of the active songs have also had a chance to appear. So we’ll move through the contest in “waves” to keep things as fair as possible.

In other words: no song should get dragged back into the arena repeatedly.

-Poll length-

Early rounds will likely be 24 hours each so the contest keeps moving.

Once we get deeper into the tournament, I may switch to longer polls for the bigger rounds.

-Tracking-

I’ll keep a public tracker updated with:

*Songs still alive

*Songs eliminated

*Elimination order

*Vote counts

*Vote percentages

*Current round info

--Regarding Ties--

If two songs tie for most elimination votes, I'll run a 24-hour lightning poll between only those tied songs. If still tied, I will eliminate both songs.

--Important reminder--

You are voting to remove your least favorite song from the listed options.

Six songs enter. Five songs survive. Tomorrow we do it all over again.

Let's have some fun and kill some time (and a song, every day) until we get our next album.
