HAY GUYS

As Moguta stated, my personal stance is to pick something from over a year ago. I just don't want to get in the habit of nominating every great new song I download off of #gamemp3s. Chances are that a lot of other people are already actively checking out these new soundtracks (many in more legal methods). A lot less are going back to listen to older, obscure albums -- and that's largely what SotW is about.

Since SotW has always relied on the participants to shape new rules, the majority will have their way regardless of what I propose. In this case, I shall go ahead with supporting my 1 year waiting period. However, I feel Crash's 6 month waiting period is a lot more reasonable for the majority of people.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As for as the distinction between game or soundtrack, Japanese or American/European/etc. release, and other nonsense... I think the waiting period should just be started at whatever comes first.

Honestly, the only time I feel a distinction should be made (and this has happened before) is if someone plans to nominate a track from a game rip when the soundtrack is scheduled to be released in less than a month. Then they should wait for the release of the soundtrack. But that's more of a different subject.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

At this point I don't want to consider making limits based on particular release groups. A soundtrack's release date is pertinent to the soundtrack itself, whereas an external MP3 release group isn't. While this isn't to say that the groups don't have influence (note the BSC), I think it's more of a subjective measure.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I didn't realize this hadn't been resolved yet.

I've already stated my opinions, but I did want to touch on the arrangement issue. I think there's possibility for a little more leeway, but like any piece of music, there should be a cool-off period. For now I'll stick with my grand "1 year" wait, just to keep things consistent.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
