Composers Hall of Fame Game.

[The Emperor]

Mmm Sibelius, i like him, i guess Mozart is my next target 

[Bogey]

Yeh, it's basically a new game, no problemo

You may want to start a thread that lists the hall of famers and the ones ousted and lock it each time you update it to prevent tampering.

Bach 12
Beethoven 14
Mozart 10
Dvorak 9
Tchaikovsky 12
Mahler 11 
Stravinsky 9
Bartok 10
Shostakovich 13
Sibelius 10 (added)

Looks like a fine collection to me.  Add Proky, Debussy, Ravel, Rachy, and a few others and it will be just about right!

[Don]

Bach 12 + 1 = 13
Beethoven 14
Mozart 10
Dvorak 9
Tchaikovsky 12 - 1 = 11
Mahler 11
Stravinsky 9
Bartok 10
Shostakovich 13
Sibelius 10

[The Emperor]

We can update it here from time to time, or we could have a sticky with a list of the hall of famers and the losers.
So far.
Hall of Fame - No one
Purgatory - Handel

So you don't like Schubert? Or is he one of the unmentionable others?

Schubie-doo's okay--and well-ensconced in the Austro-Germanic Hall of Fame--but there are easily a couple of dozen others whose works I reach for first, many of whom were also not mentioned (though hardly unmentionable).

I think we better change one rule, to reach the hall of fame should be 20 points, 30 points is a lot for 10 composers a round, there's too many to choose.
So it should go Losers(0) -> Default(10) -> Hall of Fame(20)
It's fine right?

[Dancing Divertimentian]

Couldn't we have at least started off with composers not on the other list?

Right!

Those can enter later, just vote on those you don't like and eventually you'll have the chance to put yours in the game.

The goal here is to keep rotating, and of course, survival of the fittest!

Okay.

I presume these will all stay roughly even for the next couple of years.  Still, I wonder how we start with 10 composers with 10 points each (100 points total) and now have 10 composers averaging 11 points each (113 points).

[karlhenning]

And Stravinsky and Mozart are the laggards at 10 apiece . . . .

Yes, but I would never consider either below average Karl.   

[karlhenning]

No, indeed, Bill!
