Ok, fair enough. Where is the banned soundtrack/song list?

Here's my nomination

Album Title: NeoGeo Battle Colliseum Soundtrack (I got a rip, dunno if a OST came out)
Artist: Don't know
Track Title: King Leo's Theme (Arranged Version)
Source: well I don't remember the site I got the soundtrack from, but I can supply the track if needed.
Track Number: 25 on the ripped soundtrack
Year: 2005

It's under the nomination queue. NeoGeo Battle Colliseum Soundtrack is clear.

Sweet thanks! :D If the song is needed, I can upload it somewhere.

Gah just noticed I missed the boat... :'(

What do you mean? There's still plenty of time to make a nomination before SoTW comes off its hiatus.

Also, I added Manny Biggz's nomination to the queue.

Bracket H, the last bracket of the first round of the BSC, is up, so it's just about time for SotW to start up again. Just wanted to get some advance warning out so that people can get ready for it again.

Restarting it this week would be too soon, so keeping with our pre-BSC schedule, the earliest we'd start up again is Monday, August 21. Is this okay with everyone, or should we hold back for one more week?

No, it's been a month already. Let's get back into it before the participants forget completely.

Yeah, start 'er back up. I need my fix.

We should all make sure to advertise in the BSC too--I bet some current participants would be interested in checking it out.

I'm fine with starting next week. But will it be our regular Week 65 or the Special Week?

Start it up at any time. If we're a day late, that's no problem. I usually don't start listening until Wednesday anyhow.

Okay, so for someone new like me who will probably be joining this because I have been enjoying BSC, fill me in on some things here. I see the list of currently banned games/albums, but can we nominate songs that have been nominated in the far past, or can each song appear only once ever? (I'm not big on seeing songs over and over, but just in case I re-nominate something) Also, if I don't actually have the song, but I just know it from a game, or only have something like an nsf/spc/etc file, can I still nominate it?

Glad to have you aboard!

This is sort of a grey area; offically, only winners and runners-up are banned, but no one has ever renominated a track and the rules greatly encourage you not to. It's never really been much of an issue, though.

Yes, in most cases. Unless a song is hyper-obscure or you personally ripped it, the people who manage the nomination cue can wrangle up a good-quality version.

The full rules are here: http://wiki.songoftheweek.info/index...the_Week#Rules

Very glad to see that we are starting the engines again, thought the 21th of august seems to be so far...

Regular Week 65. After the voting threads go up, the special nominations can come in.

Yeah, as orion said, it's not expressly forbidden to renominate non-winning tracks, but we don't encourage it. But don't worry; if you nominate a track that's been nominated before, I'm sure at least one person will point it out.

Just one more week. You can make it! :D

Speaking of engines, mine's a bit rusty. Okay, I've to get up to speed with SotW real soon. Urgh, the lethargy!

I can finally watch my track win a week!

IT'D BETTER WIN!

So.... uhh.... what's this special week anyway, and why am I the only one completely left in the dust?

Oh fucking A.

My nomination got bumped?

Now I have to wait until after the special week for it to come around? Man, that won't be until September, at least.

This special week had better be the most kickass thing ever.

:(

I want to nominate Max Payne 2 Game Rip - Duty Vs. Passion if that is all so good and jolly.

I wonder if we could get a mod to make an announcement when SoTW begins again--in addition to relentlessly pimping it in BSC posts, an announcement would help get more people (and perhaps lapsed participants) in the know and nominating.

That sounds good to me. Now that I have enough time to post here a bit it would be a perfect time for me to get back into SoTW. I just want to clear something up though. I had nominated a track for the following week in the official thread (Satan from DQ V), but it had been removed. Is this because my nom for the "special" week is going there, or because it was disqualified?

I'm sure I or Kaleb could handle this.


Excrono - If anything was deleted, I'd wager that it's because you have an entry in the special week that's coming up.

The former. If you want, you can renominate it again afterward.

So SotW is starting on the 21st then, right? I'll make an announcement with the date, if Crash doesn't beat me to it.

Okay, thats what I thought but for some reason was under the impression the new nom would appear in the queue. Thanks for the info.
