Entry #2? "Ancient Comittee" is a sucky Emo band

[DevP]

Oh, come on. You know that "Ancient Committee" is just the perfect name of a bunch of whinepunk emokids with no talent and dyed black hair. Am I right? I'm right.

Mechanics forthcoming, if I can!

I like it! I like it a whole lot!

One thing to consider would be finding ways to incorporate the theme ingredients beyond the name - Maybe there is a national talent contest adjudicated by a board of grizzled old musicians...

It would be even more emo with a bonus syllable or two in the name:

Ancient Steering Committee
Ancient Committee Soundtrack
Returning Ancient Committees

[DevP]

Lebrante, that's perfect! Part of the game will be changing the band name as the band changes. Adding one extra phrases will allow for a little bit more personalization. As for including the Ancient/Committee stuff, I really don't know if I can come up with clever other way to work it in - I may just have to beat the judges over the head with the gag!

Also, a humourous realization. I was trying to come up with Merits and Flaws to describe the Emo culture (suggestions welcome!) but then I saw this problem where things that by all means SHOULD be Flaws in a just world (bad dye job, wearing a trucker cap, generic angst) are Merits in the Emo world.

[DevP]

I should also be clear: this is both a scathing mockery and a ironic tribute to emo. It's nothing but Dashboard Confessional on loop until this thing is done!
