\Hi everyone. It's KC here for your November raffle!

...

What not KC you say? Well spotted faithful viewer. I'm not KC but I'm his assistant this month playing a competition close to my heart. FE Idol!



If you watched last season of FE Idol you saw a lot of songs that were a lot of fun for everyone. This month I hope to get more people involved... mostly because there is CASH on the table!

The winner will get the sweet gift card.

Although this will be a little different than last season due to the fact that we essentially have to fit it within the month. Instead of shortening the length of time you can finish a song (and thus nobody do it!) I'm decreasing the number of weeks to 3. 3 potential songs this season.

There is a difference though. Since this is a raffle every week is free participation. You can skip week 2 or ever 1 and 2 and just do 3.

Every time you submit a song you will receive a single participation raffle ticket. So you can just sort of coast by all 3 weeks and just get 3 tickets in theory. And that is fine.

There will also be no eliminations due to the fact that it is free participation.

Unlike last game where you had to place high in order to get a high place in order to suggest the majority of the themes for the next week we will be doing it so every week when you submit a song you will also submit 3 themes for the next week. The first of which will make it to the next week unless someone submitted the same theme before you and then you'll use the 2nd and then 3rd. And I doubt any more will happen than that. And if somehow less than 16 people participate I will probably use the first submitters second suggestions as well. Conversely if more than 16 submit only the first 16 will be included in the next poll. So speed is key (in theory if there are more than 16.)

At the end of the week we will post all the songs submitted for that week.

You will listen to them and rank them from best to worst. And then after 24 hours we will post the results.

You will get bonus tickets for ranking highly here. The exact number of tickets has yet to be decided but I'm thinking top 5 or so will get 1 extra ticket. Then 4th will get 2, 3rd 3, etc. That might expand if more people participate so don't take that as law just yet.

This thread is also to tell you the theme of week 1 which will end next sunday.

The theme is... ANYTHING

Since it's the first week and we want as many to participate as possible it's free reign to sing whatever song you like.

And place the song on http://vocaroo.com/ or https://soundcloud.com/ or anything really as long as people can listen to it without logging in or having an account somewhere it's ok.

This is strictly audio recording. No video required. Feel free to use free software like audacity to record yourself. That's what I use and I feel like it's the easiest way to go while still having some degree of control over the finished product. I doubt many of you are capable of video but not audio though so that shouldn't be a problem.

Vocaroo you don't need an account for. But Wikey used Soundcloud and just made the songs unlisted and that worked just fine if you guys don't mind making an account somewhere. Or vocaroo is fine if you don't mind that it's potentially going to be deleted some time in the nearish future (as most of the FE Idol 1 songs have been now) Won't be a problem for the contest it's more of an archiving thing. Which some of you might not even want a record of this so it's fine lol.

Once you record and upload your song. Send it to KC.

You have until this time next sunday to send your song in and get your raffle.

Good luck everyone.

Any questions feel free to post them and I will answer them. I think that just about covers everything though.
