And as a side note, the Best Song Ever Contest is the reason we need more contributors to SotW. I'm looking at Part A, and nearly every quality track would have been worth nominating here, and the majority of which fit the grounds of obscurity.

At least Princess Caterwaul was dead last...

When was the last time anyone at Chudah's voted?

Week 64, and that was only one person. Losing interest again. :(

OK, in accordance with my post at http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/pr...tml#post188818 I have my next nom:

Well, to be fair, you're lucky to find anyone who actually POSTS at that board, much less participates in SOTW there (exclusively or someone from another board).

First battle result that deserves a big fat :biggrin: .

So what about Super Battle 64?

What? You wanna heap on MORE accolades to "Dance on a Cape of Good Hope"?

Because, knowing the way opinions tend to split in SotW, that track will win just for being the least offensive to the most people.

I'd personally assume that Super Battle 64 would play out similar to how SotY played out. Hell, there's only one new competitor.

Idea: How about the main 8 Battle winners VS the 8 BSC 2006 Bracket winners in single elim format? Nothing new, but would be a cool twist and a cross-promotion.

How would that work, Goldfish? "Dance on a Cape of Good Hope" WAS a Battle Winner.

Does it get two slots?

It's probably big enough to count as two tracks...I personally never thought it was good enough to justify the length it goes on for. Or did I completely miss something and did the SOTY contest actually count as a battle?

But assuming it just takes up one slot, you have 8 battle winners total versus 8 BSC bracket winners (eventually). Or if you want, the top 16 from BSC vs the 8 Battle winners and 8 other SOTW winners that somehow get chosen. Or top 32 BSC tracks versus the 8 Battle winners and...Aw hell, the top 64 from BSC vs all 64 SOTW winners and mad side betting all around.

The only caveat: SOTW allows arranged stuff, while BSC doesn't. But BSC tracks that make it far have to go through more match-ups (a SOTW battle winner would only have to win 2 times...A BSC track needs to win 6-7 pairings to make it as a bracket final...six if it makes the main contest, seven if it's coming from the prelims) So that would even out.

Just brainstorming is all.

I certainly wouldn't mind some sort of BSC/SoTW cross-pollination of the sort Goldfish is suggesting; after all, many of the most prolific BSC posters are not SoTW regulars. And, since SoTW is in effect a perpetual BSC, I bet many would like it.

On another note, I suppose SoTW is on a de facto hiatus of sorts, since the nomination threads at STC and CH aren't up yet (and, without them, I can't create a new voting thread here).

Yeah, I think most people have enough listening and voting to do with BSC going on. It was never officially decided, though, according to CHz.

I don't think we should wait the entire length of the contest. We should kick things back up after or near the end of the first round. The real time consumer is getting familiar with the songs, so once new ones are done being introduced, everything shouldn't be so time consuming.

I don't know if the nominations queue has been updated entirely, but it looks like the disqualified albums list might still need it.

Yeah, we be hiatusing up in here, at least for one week. Of course, it could be only a week if enough people think they can handle SotW and the BSC. Or we could go with a vote extension, leaving the threads open an extra week at least through the first round of the BSC, which we did during Song of the Year.

Speaking of which, since we did Song of the Year, I think that a Battle battle isn't really necessary. But that's just my opinion.

Double Post:
Queue looks good, although the disqualified albums list hasn't been updated with the Week 64 winners and time reductions. Usually I do that when I move the top eight names to the bottom of the queue after making the voting threads.

This makes sense; starting SotW back up once the first round of BSC is over sounds like a good idea.

That's good to know. I was afraid of being out of the loop ang getting the thread up late as a consequence.

If one contest where everyone knows the songs is OK, then why not just do Super Battle 64 for now (If you're going to) and restart regular SotW when the first round is over?

Song of the Year was a big enough shindig that we don't really need a follow up so soon. I mean, we've got the contest going on currently. If everyone is so hungry for some sort of special event, why don't we do something involving the silver/bronze tracks? Gold receives so much attention already.

That's what got me in here, but i'm confused as hell on how exactly to nomninate. I got some tracks I really want in here, but even after reading that wiki, i'm still lost as heck. -_-

Just pick any VGM track of your choice, and post the info about the track (game title, composer, track title, etc.) here in this thread. We can tell you how to go about things from there.

For example, here's how Kyle nominated:

Well the thing that really gets me is Nomination Queue. I didn't wanna post a nomination, and then that get in the way. Ahh well thx for the info, i'll nominate/vote later today. :D

Well, when you nominate for the first time, your name goes to the top of the queue, so your track should come up for voting the following week, barring the case where eight new nominators got in tracks before you. After that, your name goes into the general rotation and your nominations have to wait a few weeks.
