Music Player Game isn't doing well. The trope, which concerns procedurally-generated games based on music tracks (think Audiosurf or Vib-Ribbon), has had only 14 wicks since 2011, and most of the on-page examples are ZCEs. As is, the trope isn't doing very well. The initial TLP was pretty rushed too, launching with on-page ZCEs and just one hat. The last reply even told the sponsor to launch with a bad title:

The title seems kind of awkward, but Just Launch It Already.

MacronNotes mentioned in the TRS meta thread that this isn't really a trope, but it isn't really a genre either, but that there was something here. A few potential solutions were proposed there as well—sending this back to the TLP was one (and I would be OK with yarding if it came down to that as well), and repurposing as an index was proposed as well. Amonimus also proposed moving the concept to a trope possibly not covered by Dancing Bear about different kinds of niche game gimmicks.

I am currently inclined to support sending this back to the TLP for the record (although I wouldn't be the one to do it.) What does everyone else think?

I am good with cutting and sending this trope back to TRS.

Pull it down and get it back on the launch pad for an inspection.

...Anyone planning to sponsor it, or...? That's why I suggested to yard it.

[up]That is true.

My vote is flexible, launchpad if someone wants to take it in, yard if nobody is willing/open.

I can be the sponsor, I suppose.

[up] Thanks. I have no TLP experience (yet) so I can't do it.

I'm with WarJay, if no one clearly states their desire to sponsor it, then yard it. If someone does, they can take it to the TLP

Obviously I'm in favor of yarding if we can't find a sponsor.

Cut and Yard. I'm against sending it back to TLP unless someone in this thread offers to sponsor it, in which case sending it to TLP would be fine.

[up] Were I to send it to the TLP, what would I need to do? (This would be my first TLP draft BTW.)

I saw yard/send to TLP to be interchangeable as the thread would close regardless because the trope is most likely getting cut.

[up][up]I just noticed that Piterpicher offered to sponsor it, so that would work. I overlooked that because I haven't been awake long and need coffee.

[up] Funny you say that, I'm drinking my second coffee of the day right now [lol]

Anyway if Piter doesn't want to send it I could provided I know what to do here.

I do, if that wasn't clear. If consensus is declared on March 4th as such and nobody else insists, I can handle it.

I just meant just in case you changed your mind Piter. If you want to do it by all means be my guest.
