good day. hope everyone is feelin a little bit more at ease after that rough episode of a morning we had.

anywho...aside from the The Hip, I have a number of other favorite bands, one of them being the Dave Matthews Band. They recently started a spring tour and one or some of their fan forums organize and run this set list game every tour where anyone who wants to play picks 18 or so song or however many they think the band is going to play that night and for every song you guess correctly thats played you get 2 points. more importantly than just picking songs correctly, if you correctly guess in which order the songs are played you earn 6 total points per song then..standings are kept and so on
anyway without getting too in depth. i find its a fun way to follow the tour and even count down to the shows you may be attending. ive always wondered if something like that could ever fly around these parts. Is there any way we could ever organize a game like that here on the base? would any of you be interested in a game like that first of all?

just wondering because i seem to treat these two bands very simmilarly, they both have a good rotation of songs on a nightly basis. both fan bases are very passionate about their band. not only that, it serves as a fun way to count down to the shows you will be attending.

anyway lemme know what you think?

I have thought of that idea before. I will host the code or integrate the code into the site. Problem is I do not have the time to write something like this. Doing this manually would take way too much man power.

I 100% support your idea.

Great idea. Can you get the code that they use on the DMB site for us? And if Lance can't get it hosted, I will.

Can you post a link to the site and I'll dig into it?

I'm guessing this is it:

i personally dont play that one, but alot of people on ants play both. preference is pretty divided. both are essentially the same with the exception of a few small details in the rulebook.

I posted about this a while ago, and provided this link to something similar...
http://www.wisewins.com/points/contests.xhtml
It would be worth emailing the codemasters at <a href="mailto:points@wisewins.com">points@wisewins.com</a>
to see if they would be willing to share such code.
Check it out.

Seeing the recent popularity of the nightly setlist parties where we follow along with the setlist as it is unfolding in real-time, I believe this idea would be a great attraction for the hipbase.
Here is some code that I have altered to fit the format of the Tragically Hip setlist predictor game. If anyone has a better understanding of altering this code into something usable, and would be willing to create the necessary infrastructure to support this event, that would be outstanding. Copy the code, Paste, and Preview in your HTML editor.

I just posted this code online: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.hipfans.com/setlist.html">http://www.hipfans.com/setlist.html</a>

I don't have time to work on it right now, and there is a lot more code missing, but it looks interesting.

Where did you get this from?

See the post before my code post (wisewins). I tried to email them, but their email was down and it bounced back as undeliverable.
