...will get a one-week bye for the 2023 contest. Everyone else will start on the 1st of December at 6 AM, this group will start at 6 pm on December 8th. Congrats! (Any repeat winners from this group will be excluded in 2024. As contest director, I am excluding myself from the contest. There were no repeat winners from 2022.)
@SamAndreas is being allowed a provisional entry to this year's contest. We don't want to exclude anyone because they live in the boonies, but we also are aware that self-enforced remoteness deserves attention from the rules committee (made up of the previous year's winners and the CD).
Everyone who decides to take the plunge must declare entry between December 1st and December 4th by posting that declaration in this thread.

It has been suggested that we add some difficulty to the game or make a different game of....
Wham!A!Geddon
Same rules as MariahGeddon, but the song is Last Christmas by Wham! Not sure if we should double-up or parallel with players having to declare for each game. What say you?
* Yes, I know the image misspells the name of the antagonist. Grammar nazis need not apply.

- The objective of the game is to go as long as possible without hearing Mariah's Christmas classic, "All I Want for Christmas is You".
- The game starts on December 1st at 6 AM and runs through midnight on December 24th.
- Only the original version applies. You may enjoy remixes and covers.
- We are using the honor system: you're out as soon as you hear and recognize the song. Post here to indicate when you're out.
