Welcome (or welcome back!) to our next contest! This time around, we really wanted to see just how much musical talent is out there in Rune-Midgarts!
The first category will be parody songwriting.You can choose a popular or (unpopular) song of your liking and make it Ragnarok themed. For example, let's say I choose "Trouble" by Taylor Swift:
Cause I knew you were Bapho when you walked in
So shame on me now
Killed me in places I'd never been
You put me down, oh
I knew you were Bapho when you walked in
So shame on me now
Killed me in places I'd never been
Now I'm dying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, Bapho, Bapho, Bapho
Oh, oh, Bapho, Bapho, Bapho
This is just the chorus, but I hope everyone gets the general idea. You will need to do this for an entire song. Now for something interesting: if you record yourself singing the song you write a parody of you will receive a CD in mouth with your name on it! Cool, right? We think so! We're looking forward to seeing and hearing all of the talent out there.
Now for the second category of the contest! The way this is going to work is that you can choose any background music (BGM) from Ragnarok Online. Let's say you love "Peaceful Forest"
You would record yourself playing this with some type of musical instrument. Doesn't matter what instrument you choose. If you want to visit Niflheim and bang out a tune on a hollowed out zombie skull, then be our guest! All we ask if that it actually sounds like the BGM you're covering! Anyone that chooses to record themselves playing a Ragnarok Online BGM will receive a named CD in mouth.
- All recordings must include you. You can get a friend to play or sing backup, but we ask that you play a significant part in the recording.
- Anyone caught cheating or plagiarizing someone's work will be disqualified.
- The contest will run from the 19th of March until the 19th of April.
- All entries must be submitted on or before 12am midnight pst.
- To qualify for the song parody contest, you need to change the entire song to be Ragnarok themed.
- Leaving a few lines the same is find, but you can't just throw the word "Poring" in every now and then and hope to win something.
- To qualify for the BGM cover contest, your recording should be easy to identify when comparing it to the original.
- I expect people to behave, but just in case; guild drama, sexually explicit or demeaning lyrics, etc. will not be tolerated.
- You may use your name or a friend's name, but no taking shots at others.
- You may include the GMs as long as you keep it classy.
- Anyone who submits a valid song parody entry and chooses to record themselves singing will receive a CD in mouth with their name on it.
- Anyone who submits a valid cover of a Ragnarok BGM will receive a CD in mouth with their name on it.
- The top three from the song parody contest will receive costume note headphones.
- The top three from the BGM cover contest will receive costume note headphones.
- The fan favorite out of people choosing to sing their parody song will receive costume note headphones.
