Libera Dreams Competition 2012 - Anouncement

[JimmyRiddle]

It's a tough one no doubt. I'm wondering if even those behind the actual songs would get the right answers. Name that tune in one; 30 times over with soloists without any clues. I've not listened to them all yet, so will give it more of a go in the next few days.

[maartendas]

I had two run-throughs of the whole thing now and feel sure of 12 songs, am doubting about 4 and clueless about the rest (so far)

[LuxVenit]

You all seem to be struggling, but fear not! You don't need to answer all questions correctly to win as it will be on a score basis. If you are really stuck then just take the best guess you can, I'm sure many are stuck on more than a few answers. Glad I'm not eligible to enter. Yorkie has made this a tough one. Headaches

Tough? I think that might be just a bit of an understatement on some of these.

Who would think that 1 second clips could be so maddening??? Of course, all of us who are thinking about entering are mad about Libera, so it makes perfect sense in all its madness.

[Yorkie]

Never heard so much moaning. Honestly, I think it's pretty easy

Very disappointed that nobody has tried bribery yet!

[LuxVenit]

Hey now, hey now, I'm not moaning exactly...I'm just not jumping around in ecstasy like I was at first. There's a difference, no?

Now Yorkie, bribery? What on earth could we POSSIBLY bribe you with? *cough* I mean, are you lacking in some sort of pleasantry or sundry at home? Does UPS ship to your house? I'm not made of money!!! I mean, er...

I love this competition! Will you take flattery instead?

[Yorkie]

Flattery won't work because, looking like Daniel Craig, I'm used to it. Beer is good though.

[LuxVenit]

Darn. And double darn. I'm not even a beer rookie. Well, cheers to the one or ones who successfully bribe Mr. Craig's lookalike, because it isn't going to be me. Looks like I'll have to do this the old fashioned way...and hire a hitman, I mean...blast.

[LuxVenit]

By the by, and I know this won't be adding any bribery points for me, lol, but there's a slight problem in the information for the time frame of the competition:

The competition will be open from 24th December 2012 and will close on 2nd January 2013. Any entries received after 12.00am (UK time) on 2nd January 2012 will not be accepted.

It should be ...received after 12.00am (UK time) on 2nd January 2013...etc.

I figure we all know what you're talking about anyway, but I'm feeling a bit feisty so thought I'd point it out. G'night!

[paul]

Just to be clear for our members in different time zones, there is a countdown timer, on the entry thread.

Here it is again.

You are doing well; 2nd run through and I think i've got about a dozen too but I wouldn't say I'm 100% sure about them.

Do you get an extra bonus point if you pinpoint the exact second the clip appears on the original CD track? Is one of them a trick inclusion, I think i've established it as matching my engaged dial tone!

[Lumi]

Honestly, I think it's pretty easy

Well, I'll have to agree with that.. so why are you expecting bribes, again?

[thewhyb]

I've decided not to join the competition (after being intimidated by comments above ), but couldn't help but LOL at this comment.

Have fun, everyone!

[LuxVenit]

Awww thewhyb, you should at least submit a form! If nothing else put Yorkie aka Daniel Craig in every line and see how far that gets you.

I'm driving myself insane with this. Dunno how many times I've gone through, listening, re-listening, turning up the volume, turning DOWN the volume after being on the wrong clip and having my ears blown out by one of those quite high bits, going back and changing an answer, rethinking it and changing it AGAIN...

Not crazy, am I? Hahahahaha.

that is exactly how I do it..

Excellent! Let's hope it works out for us then, eh?
