    I know that, dude. He covered his legal azz while pretending to make a fair selection.

    C'mon, they are just forum threads. It's not the Bible.

    Basically this is about treating people well and decent, not fooling them too much or wasting their time. If you guys don't care, it's okay. I have mentioned it, trying to be of help.

    Actually you're dunking me for telling a truth. But you already knew that..

    One of the few fair comments. Right, I thought he would take the top-?? from each year. I bet I wasn't the only one believing that. Then I checked it - far too late of course. I was an idiot, yes, but that's not the topic.

    The wording is double-tongued. Yes, he mentions a selection from the Top 20 albums (then you could ask: since BEA compiles lots of other lists as well, does he use the list that besteveralbums creates by the median of all those other lists or does he just randomly pick various lists from various magazines that are available on BEA?), but also mentions an online randomizer. So I think you have points in pointing this out, but this is due to your personal interpretation of the OP. Others would see it as being perfectly fine.

    But, truly, it's just a game. It's not like he was tricking us by holding some kind of lottery or games involving money.

    Legality doesn't really enter into it. I doubt you would get far with this in court. What is "unfair" about the selection anyway? That you like "Pyromania" and don't like "Boy?"

    Legal talk? He's simply saying he picked a song, and the only limitations were that it be from the top 20. After that...they could be songs he personally liked, songs he thought would be the best competitors, whatever. You keep talking about legality here. There is none. It’s a game. There is no prize. You are taking this way too far. You didn’t have to participate.

    I think he made the selection look rather objective. I think it's ridiculous that the most of the comments won't give me that.

    Well, start with the OP.

    All this drama because Def Leppard’s Rock Rock Til You Drop wasn’t included in a game.

    I think your're spamming with your lame motive based accusations. I pointed out something that I don't think everybody was aware of. Pyromania was an example. The one that got me thinking about it.

    Yes, *you* think. It's your interpretation. Others never gave much about that. I'm sure many here give you your interpretation (I do so), but to many it was clear that some sort of personal preferences would be included because this is what always happens when you wanna talk about things you like, whether it's intentional or not. C'est la vie - science proves it.

    Discussing your personal interpretation of a forum game and accusing all repliers who say that you're exaggerating it a bit of being the 'herd' who's afraid of critizising another forum member - now that's ridiculous, if you ask me.

    What motif do I have? I didn’t start this thread.

    He laid out his selection process quite clearly, even if you didn’t understand it.
    By participating, you accepted that process. Case closed. NEXT!
