If this thread doesn't blow up idrc but it's senior year and all my classes are boring as s*** so I want to give hosting a label game a try. KTT2's live response function make it perfect for a new rendition of the label game and I will try my best to keep this as professional and updated as possible.

WARNING: This is a TOUGH, RIGOROUS game that requires PATIENCE AND DEDICATION. If you choose to play, JUDGE OR LABEL OWNER, you must commit to playing the WHOLE WAY THROUGH. If you cannot commit AT LEAST 1 MONTH to this game, please do not play. You will be taking a spot away from somebody who is actually willing to be active and participate. Label Owners and Judges should view this thread multiple times per day throughout this game. IF YOU ARE NOT PRESENT ANY OF THE AUCTION DAYS WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, YOU WILL BE DROPPED AND REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.

In this game, get fake money, bid on real artists (and producers) and then create tracklists (albums) for the artists on your label! Judges will decide the winner! To join, say IN and specify if you want to have a label or judge!

1. PM me at alpha.ktt2.com with three artists, three producers, and your label name.

2. Everyone will start with $500M. Once an artist/producer is won, you can return the artist after the current draft day at a 75% sell back rate.

3. There will be no cap on any artist, but you CANNOT raise bids by more than $30M per bid.
(min. increment is set at $5M). Bidding starts at $10M for in thread auctions.
(Please do not run the bid up purposely)

4. Any artist that has multiple talents can be used in any manner so long as you have signed the artist to your label.

5. Artist features & production credits can be sold to other players or traded in exchange for other features. All trades must be close to, or equal value. (No unlimited features/production credits allowed). PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO REPORT ANY TRADES TO ME DURING AUCTION PERIODS. YOUR REQUESTS WILL BE IGNORED UNTIL THE ROUND IS OVER.

6. After the auction phase, we will enter a freebie draft. Everyone will email me a number between 1-100 and the person closest to my number will have the first pick in the draft. There will be 5 rounds and you will chose up to 5 artists of your choice that hasn't already been auctioned off (with the exception of dead artists). The draft will be snake style.
1st Round (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) 2nd round (8, 7, 6, 5, etc.), etc.

7. Periodically throughout the game, labels will get to buy unclaimed artists at $10M each (five at a time).

8. After the draft, players will have time to get features and start creating their albums. You'll be judged on 3 different rounds:
Round 1: 2 solo projects, the album MUST be an album from what artist/grouping only, no collabs or label albums
Round 2:1 collaborative LP from with a randomly selected partner
and 1 Final LP, this may be any album of your choosing (label album, collab, solo, etc.)
EACH ALBUM MUST HAVE A TRACKLIST.

9. Album covers are a must, but they won't have any significant effect on the final score,
(not everyone is a photoshop master) and it's purely for aesthetics. (be sure to include a dope album cover though!!!)

10. Judges will determine which albums are better based on quality, originality, use of features/production, and creativity. Need active, open minded judges. Judges must be just as active itt as the players. There will be no resubmitting of scores once they have been posted

11. Commercial Success: After each round, depending on which of your artists drops an album, you will be rewarded money to buy more artists, features, and production (example: a Drake album will probably earn you a lot while a Raury album will probably earn you not so much) This has no effect on your album rating, but rewards people who go out to get the A-List artists. The artist, production, features, and stand-out songs will all factor into how much money you will receive. Now let me add something to this section, the release of singles and/or promo of any sorts will boost these sales. Note: This is extremely important given the new increase in price of freebies.

12. Label sponsorships will be open sporadically, which will be free funds, artists, and collaborations.

13. REMINDER: Albums turned in past the due date will be labeled as LATE and receive a deduction in final score.

All results will be added at the end (mario kart style) to determine the winner:

1st Place 🏆
2nd Place 🥈
3rd Place 🥉
