The rules for nominating can be found here.

Additionally! No one responded to anything I said about Yuletide Week, so I'm going to assume that means no one is opposed to it and am therefore scheduling it for Week 195, which is the week containing Christmas day. I suppose you can all start nominating for it now (reminder: eight tracks), but I'd like a clarification from Crash about what kind of tracks he's looking for. I have a vaguely "icy" sounding track I could nominate, with bar chimes and some swirly synth work, but I can definitely defer to someone else if you're looking for more solidly winter/Christmas themed tracks.

(I'm planning on nominating a different track from the same game in the future anyway.)

Additional Spam:
Double additionally, this is Battle 24, not 23!

I had in mind tracks with a definite Christmas or winter tone to them. Other tracks may be icy (for example, Jet Moto - Ice Crusher) but aren't necessarily Christmas-y or don't evoke a sense of winter celebration. The nominations should feel appropriate to Christmas in some way.

If, for some reason, we are unable to amass 8 Christmas tracks, I have at least four extra that I can "loan out."

That said: Week 195 Nomination

Here's my Christmas special nomination:

Game: Daze Before Christmas (SNES Game Rip)
Composers: Kim M. Jensen, Geir Tjelta
Track: Santa's Workshop
Year: 1994

Since the individual composers were never specified for the BGM portion of the Canvas2 sound track, just put "Elements Garden".

Okay, that's fine. VGMdb may wish to make a similar note since that's where I sourced the composer credits.

3 points - Perfect Selection Dracula ~New Classic~ - Theme from ''The Legend of Dracula''
2 points - Shikkoku no Sharnoth Preorder Bonus Original Soundtrack - Tar slan
1 point - Chaos World - Ares' Theme

"Tar slan" was a nice surprise for me when I first heard it back in week 0188, and is a great track. My nom is still my fav of the bunch though.

Looking for that Junkie XL Sims track, and then I realized it lost on a tiebreaker. No matter, this is a decent group, if not spectacular.

How do bonus points work again? Had I voted, it would've looked like:


and the top two tracks would've been tied. Would that have been enough to change the outcome? If so, I'm terribly sorry and I vow not to leave it till the last minute ever again*. If not, well this BATTLE wasn't so great anyway.

*this vow will be broken next week

Do you really want to know?
