Since the old thread has disappeared I just started wondering whether it would be worth playing this game.

Note this is not a thread for quotes just for discussion on whether the game would have interest.

What happened to the old one? Did it just die?

Yes it did.

I would like to play it, but honestly simply almost never knew the lyrics in the last few, which I figure is why people "googled" in the first place...which in turn, provoked a counter reaction among the quoters... :(

I'm in. Hell, I am always in. I didn't respond to the last thread because I didn't know any answers, so why bother to post useless sh*t.

It doesn't work.
It would only work if we had a more extensive line-up of participating music buffs, but as it is now, it's too specialised (some people are most likely capable of discerning every single lyric of Linkin Park, Taproot, Staind, AFI or whatever these mediocre bands are called; but when it comes to the most well known Joy Division song, of a band whose musical legacy will outlive those of any of the aforementioned bands blindfolded, it's suddenly too difficult (?) for them. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ons/icon37.gif [img]tongue.gif[/img]
But seriously, taste around here differs too much to have a "healthy" competition - lyrics posted by me for example are usually guessed by Melusine, Barry, Hierophant or dplax, while lyrics posted by Shadowhound or Bozos attract a wholly different audience. Not taking the odd cheater into account, there's little interaction between such subgroups in this topic (apart from "I don't know, give us a clue") - so when the few posters with a similar taste don't know the answer (or are offline for a few days), no one else will figure it out, either.
So sure, we can give it another shot, I may even participate. I'm afraid it will only take a few days before we have yet another status quo, though.

@Grojlach: To counteract the problem we could have several quotes running at the same time for the different groups. Would it work?

Well I promise that I won`t Google every lyrics wich is posted. I will use Google only if I really don`t know the lyrics. [img]graemlins/littleangel.gif[/img]

... and AlltheWeb for the rest of'em, or..? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You can google all you want, just don't post any answers you've found with search engines - especially not if you haven't even heard the song (or anything the band has ever made, for that matter).
