So, how long does it take you to try and win your scoring championship back? A day? A week? Never?

I've been dethroned a few times, but I'm lulling my opponents into a false sense of security for the time being.

there's only one option for me if I know I am capable of beating the one who beat me; Beat him as soon as as I notice it(unless the song is completely bullcrap- -). I believe that gives my opponent the will to fight back, instead of simply admiting defeat(Atleast that's how I feel when it happens to me :().

Only if I care about the song.  Like True Love Waits I'm gonna be on as soon as possible.  The rest of them?  ::shrug::

It's become always a daily ritual for me when I get up in the morning to check my email for Dethroned's. I take 10 minutes and deal with them over a cup of coffee, then head off for work. Usually takes me one try, unless I hit a damn grey.

I get maybe one to three a day, though the music I play is on the more obscure side so the competition isn't as stiff as it probably could be.

Depending on the song really.  If it's a song I'll enjoy listening to over and over to get that spot back, then I'll try asap, but if it's a song I don't want to listen to over and over, then I wont care.  All in all, I don't care if I get dethroned.

I was really surprised to see a dethrone on a Mannheim Steamroller tune.  Got that back in one try.

The other one that took me about 6 or 7 runs to do was Filter & Crystal Method - Trip Like I Do, which is quite a fun song. :)

I got dethroned on Whatsername -- Green Day. Which I wasted no time in taking back. I got it back on my first try, and in the first 5 minutes of being dethroned. Poor sucker didn't even have a prayer.  ;D
Defeat, Eh?..........Never Heard of It..........

It depends, but if I have time I'll usually try to reclaim it immediately. It's fun having competition.  ;D

It kinda depends on the song for me.  If it's a song I really like and is fun to ride, then yeah I try to get my #1 back.  But if it's a song that wasn't that fun to ride I pretty much let it pass.
