Sorry for being a noob, but what's this rank bank? Cheers!

Sorry for being a noob, but what's this rank bank? Cheers!

We keep a personal ranking of the lineup... Different people take different approaches, but I do:
# of sets I want to catch (each band plays twice, so 0, 1, or 2) and them my personal ranking of the band on a scale of 0 to 10

[cegr80]

Sorry for being a noob, but what's this rank bank? Cheers!

It is a system to rank the announced bands in terms of your personal preference as far as set attendance goes. It helps build statistics for what people want to see the most.

Although there are several scoring systems here, the general rule is as follows:

0 if you are not seeing any of the sets
1 if you are catching one set
2 if you plan on catching both sets

Some people add additional info, different ranks, etc ... but this is the general consensus. I also add the overall count of sets at the bottom of the list. In this case, since I do not plan on seeing Angra at all, then my current set count is 0/2

No really set format. I just use sets or a set range. For Angra, I'll definitely catch 1 set. Might do 2 depending on conflicts. Some people also add ratings for the bands.

Another meh band for me

I prefer the Razor-Bodom Ranking system (0-5), so I'll use that. Explanation at the bottom.

Angra - 0
Unleashed - 1

1/8 -> 0/4 sets. Lots of time though.

5 - 2 setter, I don't give a fuck who it conflicts with, 2 sets, everyone else can fuck off.
4 - 2 setter, no matter what (unless conflicts with other 4's happen) - similar to '2'
3 - 1 set for sure, second one more than likely but depends on overlappings - similar to '1/2'
2 - 1 set for sure, second one if nothing else interesting is happening - similar to '1'
1 - 1 set only if nothing else interesting is happening - similar to '0/1'
0 - 0 sets, not interested at all - similar to '0' (but might pass by to see how they play)

[MuzakMaker]

1 solid I'll definitely try to see them but I haven't really liked the bulk of their stuff and 1 complete and utter skip (although as Swedish Death Metal goes, definitely not the worst option

Didn't expect Epica to be back on board already. I'm 100% in at this point.

Missed both Equilibrium sets in 2017 since I was SUPER unprepared and overwhelmed on my first sailing. Don't hate them, would gladly fit them in to my schedule

Do I love or even know a singular Warkings song? No BUT their vibe is exactly what I look for on the boat. No false pretenses about being klvt or hard. Just having fun in silly costumes.
