Hypothetical contest

[Lempillsk]

Notice: we now have the bare minimum number of people (3) to start this contest. I will probably start the contest on Friday, but I'll still wait for more people to join until then

List of participants:

1. Stepson
   
2. Fortysevens
   
3. The FIAS

Warning: wall of text incoming

I'm seeing these contest threads, but I feel like they're a bit flawed. I've been tempted to host a contest myself with regard to the stuff below:

---

1. The current contests are a bit too rigged in favor of the person who can appeal to the OP's musical tastes (unintentionally or not)

Here is a possible solution: make the judges the contestants themselves, i.e. each contestant would have to listen and score each submission. This might be time consuming, but considering that this site is ded I don't think it's much of a concern at this point

Additionally, song and score submissions would probably be anonymous so you can't nuke the song of that guy you think is a mofo
This can probably be handled through PMing the contest host

2. The whole "edit this premade song!" format kinda sucks

It just seems a bit constricting in terms of creativity. It'd be cool if there was some vague theme to go by instead. As a somewhat lackluster example, a possible theme would be like, "make this song sound sad" or some *****

tl;dr: online sequencer contest - DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM edition

ALSO post in this thread if you would participate in this because I want to gauge how many people would actually sign up. After all, this probably wouldn't work out too well with like 2 guys
