THE RULES

The game is simple:

The person running the round posts a list of songs, all of which have a shared theme but one. This theme or shared element could be within the lyrics, within the music, or something about the history of the songs. The players guess what the theme is, and which song is the odd one out.


Here are the rest of the details:

Rounds:
- Songs can be posted as titles only (artist optional, no other details)
- Each round will have at least four song titles, and no more than eight
- All songs must be available on SoundCloud or Grooveshark
- The theme must be discoverable through listening or research-- It cannot not be something specific to the submitter like "I listened to them all on my birthday" but it can be somewhat open to interpretation.
- The winner of the previous round may post a new round. (They should coordinate with me, so the post gets edited.)
- I will submit the first round, and by default any others.
- New rounds will be in the first post, plus as a new post.


Guessing:
- You are encouraged to listen to the songs (unless you already know them) before guessing.
- No referring to transcribed song lyrics. (You can use the internet to look up history and theories about songs.)
- A guess consists of one theme answer and one odd song out answer. (Both, and only one of each.)
- You may not guess again unless someone else has guessed in between.
- Please put the word GUESS in bold and red in your post so I can see them easily.
- You are encouraged to post links (SoundCloud or Grooveshark) to the songs, in your guess.
- If you win a round, you may post the next round. (Otherwise, I will.)

Winning:
- The same person cannot win two rounds in a row.
- You can collect a prize after one win, or save up for a bigger price.
- ONE WIN: 100 gold
- TWO WINS: 250 gold
- FIVE WINS: Currently available CI


TLDR:
- A round is a list of song titles
- Guess the theme they share, and the odd one out that doesn't
- Include "GUESS" in your answer
- Each player can only guess once per page
- You also need to wait for someone else to guess before you can guess again
- Don't look up the lyrics
- Win stuff!
