Sure, I'll shuffle, I'm at the bottom. If it is what I think it is.

When is the shuffling taking place? Right after this week ends?

I don't mind being shuffled either way, though. So YES

Oh, I forgot to say when I'd shuffle, didn't I. :x

Yeah, right after voting closes, I'll shuffle up the names.

This is my first time voting in a BATTLE, and I have to say that making choices was significantly tougher than it is in the normal weeks (though I guess that's to be expected). I like each of the tracks for different reasons, but a few did stand out amongst the others.

Staff Credit Game struck me as a pretty nice track last week, and it still stands out in this week too. The medley aspect of it is nice, especially now that I'm more familiar with the Banana Blitz world themes (thanks again to DH for uploading that Wii game rip). Although strong, I think this track is one of the weaker ones compared to other participants in this battle. Not sure if I'll be giving it a point or not, although it's definitely awesome.

Plok!'s main theme is a really strong song too. The theme is upbeat, and I love the use of the harmonica (which later develops into some nice rockin'). A really infectious melody is present; I don't ever hum any tunes, but this track is definitely worthy of hummage ("hummage", is that even a word).

The piano work in Planet She is pretty great. I can't seem to find any flaws with the track, either. It's pleasant, and I'm definitely awarding it a point or two in this battle. Cool stuff.

I think should like Ultimate Destroyer a lot. It's Saitama Saisyu Heiki... S.S.H... ROCKIN'.
There's something about it, though, that strikes me as unoriginal. It feels like I've listened to this track a lot in the past, even though I certainly haven't. Objectively, it has some good parts, but somehow it's not clicking with me. Maybe it's just that I enjoy the other tracks more than this one.

Heh, I remember liking Izayoi Sakuya Stage a lot. I still love it. The song is a pretty addictive one, in spite of its short length. Once it begins playing, there's almost no way I'll stop it in the middle (and if I need to, it certainly won't be because I was bored of the track).

Above the Treetops has a cool little melody that I enjoy. Unfortunately, that melody isn't present throughout the entire song, but at least it's there for the majority of the track's duration. This one's is a nifty track that makes for some easy listening, but isn't all that impressive otherwise. I can understand how it won a week, but in this battle I think it's a little underwhelming.

Battle With the Devil is an awesome track, and very typical of Mitsuda. I can't get enough of that melody, and the vocals are a nice touch too. Definitely one of my favorites in this battle, and one of the most memorable due to the powerful melody. I see what Crash is saying about the popularity of Mitsuda, so I feel a little guilty in supporting it, but I can't deny the track's awesome qualities. :psyduck:

Bathroom ~ Ending won that really weak week, according to most voters... I don't think I listened to the songs that week (if I did, I've already forgotten them), but this track is a pretty nifty one. The quirky style and simple melody are appealing to me, and I find it to be a pretty addictive track. Maybe not the most impressive, but definitely enjoyable.

"Bathroom ~ Ending" was close to getting the last point.

Quick minor SotW news:

I made a favicon for the site finally.

Carry on.

Double Post:
Also, I'm not shuffling. IIRC, last time I did and got the shaft. I'll sit this one out.

A yes on the shuffling. Not that it matters. If my next nomination gets pummeled (and I'm bringing out a fairly-pedigreed choice anyway), I may consider quitting.

Onto to the voting. A solid group, though no Baba Yetu's or Dance On A Cape stunners here. Then again, two of the songs I've known very well before.

Great!

What's a favicon?

The favicon is the little icon that appears to the left of the URL field in the browser window. GFF's looks like http://www.gamingforce.com/favicon.ico.

Nice work on that icon, K-Cut.

Voting might be open a little later tomorrow because I'm going out with the family for foodz.

Voting's not easy, but it sure is fun.

The final swap list looks like this:



To redistribute the green names, I got a random sequence of the numbers 1-15 from random.org:



Rearranging the names, we get:



EliJaH's the big winner. =O

Oh wow, I didn't even know a swap was taking place. I guess it worked out, though. It's actually best if some people swap and some don't.

And kudos to Planet She and orion for winning the battle. A deserving song.

And I'm the big loser! It'll give me another week to procrastinate putting up a nomination.

No, you didn't get knocked down nearly as many places as I did, or Dr. Uzuki, for that matter. Except it was his goal to delay his nomination, whereas I was hoping to get mine in sooner.

Oh well. Fair's fair.
