BATTLE OF THE BANDS FINALS!

Well, they\'re finally here! Holy Oracle there were a lot of entries. I actually had to work! At least some of you had the foresight to give me a good chuckle. Or maybe that was just accidental. Either way, good work, everyone that entered!
We\'ve narrowed the finalists down, and have 6 finalists for each genre. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the R&B/Soul genre as there were so few entries, entrants from that category were moved into the \'Other\' category to be judged. (I guess Subeta has no soul! Or rhythm. I\'m sure we have plenty of Blues)
Now, to find our Grand Champion, the bands are going to need some support. This is where you guys come in! Have a look through our Finalist Showdown and pick your favourite band, the one you want to support right to the bitter end. That\'s the band you\'re going to be battling for! And how do you battle, I hear you ask in wonder? Well, you need to play Street Team of course! Woah! Much game! Very battle!
For now, scores can\'t be sent - we want to give you a chance to pick out your favorite bands and get familiar with the game for a few hours first. But starting from around noon tomorrow you will be able to start sending scores - and each score sent will go towards your chosen bands total! Users can send 3 scores per day - or 4 if they have a Gold Account. VIP users\' scores count for 25% extra towards their total! (So, a score of 20 will give you 25 points!)
Now, prizes. There are going to be a variety - but seeing as you guys continually impress us with your skills, we haven\'t yet decided exactly how they\'re going to be distributed. There will likely be prize(s) for the winner of each genre, and then the grand champion will be rewarded - along with all the people that supported the grand champions band. There will also separately be prizes for users that submit the highest scores, so even if you are in a team that maybe aren\'t doing so well - you can still work hard and achieve something on your own! The Grand Champion band will get to work with us on designing some items, so all prizes will be awarded after Peka-Boo has come to an end. Score-sending will end on Monday 28th, again around about noon so that we can tally up the scores and announce the winners in the evening!
Every one of you could be instrumental in getting a band to victory. So pick who you want to support, and stand by them! Yeesh, that was a lot of information. I\'m going back to my tent.

Aw man, no metal bands made it? Now I don't know who to support because I don't care for any of the finalists, lol.

No @Listerine. It's okay. We didn't want to win anyway. Winning contests isn't very punk rock. So in a way we did win. We won in our hearts.

I wish my band didn't made it because we had a wardrobe issue cries it actually had potential
About the game: is anyone having a brain trick with it? I mean... The character turns back to the fans and he squats. My brain unconsciously thinks he has to turn left to get up again, but he don't need it, and I lose 3 or 4 lives with that xD

Congrats to all the finalists! I have no idea who I'm going to support. One question though - is there a point cap to the game? Like when we submit scores for the regular games there's a max sp you can earn, so is there a max amount of points we can send our band?

OMG that game is evil... I got a score of a whole 23. I will have to practice this game for a bit.
Having horrifying AC flashbacks. At least it's pretty.
Automatons Ensemble is my favourite! :*

Zero of these bands made me laugh, and the outfits just aren't holding the bad ideas together man. I am deeply disturbed by the lack of high class taste going on here. Normally I would just say nothing but today I'm gonna speak my damn mind on this virtual pet game because my life is in shambles and I want to die, so HEY what the hell do I have to lose? 420 blaze it!!!111100 $$$



Since I don't like any of the bands so won't be playing the game, will there be anything else for the rest of us to do for the next 5 days? Seems like there hasn't been much so far once we've bought what we wanted, fed the goat & made wishes. Some other types of carnival games would be nice to pass the time.
Congratulations and good luck everyone! :)
It is going to be difficult to choose just one band to support.

@riddikulus, @sentinel, @Iridescent, @theladywrath, @Bonju, @Diesel and to all the other finalists who haven't commented (yet) - Congratulations, you all did an absolutely fantastic job. And kudos to the Subeta team for coming up with the Battle of the Bands and all their hard work to bring it to us.
That said, a couple of comments. It was pointed out to me that none of the finalist bands has members wearing zombie coverups. That is disappointing to me in this environment . Of course to be fair, perhaps you didn't have many entries with members wearing zombie coverups. Second, I am very unhappy to see a game requiring coordination as the winner and prize award selection method. I understand that almost any method of user participation will displease someone however, and it is nice that you are letting all the users stay involved. Finally, I do applaud you for limiting the number of game entries per day and also for making the game play at a reasonable speed, thus at least ameliorating the need for coordination.
One last note - if I missing making direct congratulations to any finalists, it's because I took awhile making this comment, and was not intended as leaving you out.

OMG!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! I think everyone did a wonderful job. It was fun participating in this event. :D


Congratulations to the finalists! The Priggles should've made it into the finals, but there are some great bands that did. I'm going to have trouble choosing one to back.

Is there going to be an achievement / prize for playing the game, even if the band you support doesn't win?
I wish users could've voted on the first round instead of the staff. I don't really feel a sense of involvement with the event anymore.

I have no idea how I'm going to choose just ONE band to support! D:
So many of these are absolutely amazing!!

Though my band didn't make it, I would gladly work to vote for another one....if not for the game! I suck at this sort of game, so I'll just sit back and see what happens.


Was bummed my band didn't make it, until I saw the ones that did... wow, these bands are very creative and well put together! Great job!! I see why they got chosen! I think I think I have picked my fav.... maybe! :D Good luck everyone!
I SHOULD HAVE YOU KNOW... I love you guys. That bar slinging game was my favorite when I was kid. Thank you so much.

Wow, that game is a nightmare for those with poor hand-eye coordination. :(
I'm also disappointed that there are so few bands to vote for. And the character limit for the description was so small. Oh well.

@Rah Highscore cumulative? or per one game? or cumulative per band? In this case people will send scores for every band each to get prizes in case any of these bands wins
Oh Christ this is it. The minigame I suck at in every game every invented. I can't get past 40. Whhhhyyyy whhhyyyyyyyyy



The Granny Smiths are the best. Kinda crappy that the link to their album cover is gone though. Loved the "bonus track".

Game won't finish loading for me. Windows 7, FF 30, tried everything.
Time to watch more SYTYCD. :)

@manipulation - we mentioned that there will also be a high score table for people who submit the highest scores, even if the band they are submitting them for doesn't win :)
We can't really go beyond that!

oh ye gods I have NO hand/eye co-ordination! Panic sets in very quickly, sheesh, going to need a LOT of practice.
But at least I have narrowed down my favourite band to a choice of 10, lol

Boo, our band didn't make the cut, but congrats finalists, I see why x)
Also, *cough*slushieslinger*cough*

screaming I'm so excited!! I can't believe my group made it! Also the music is super funky, which caused me to have a celebratory dance!

Was honestly hoping this was going to be like EPICon where everybody got to vote on ALL the bands, so now we don't even get to see most of the bands people made either, which is also disappointing...
Well this blows. I didn't think the staff would pick their favorites. I though everyone would vote for everyone. Just for that I'm voting anyone.

So there are no prizes for people who entered but didn't make it to the top 6? And no prizes for high scores on the game or anything, unless you were supporting the winning group? :/
