Song of the Week - WEEK 65 Voting/WEEK 66 Nominating

Great to have SotW back. The Best Song Contest is a nice diversion, but I enjoy SotW more.

I'm gonna forgo the critiques and just assign some points.

3 Points: Civilization IV Official Soundtrack - Baba Yetu
2 Points: Air Zonk (Game Rip) - Punk Cyborg Battle 1
1 Point: Namco Game Sound Express Vol.10 Cyber Sled - Be warped time

An overall solid week to get back into the swing. I didn't hate a single track.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm sensing a trend in the votes. Hell, I was going about my business at work today and caught myself singing Baba Yetu under my breath, and I wasn't even listening to my ipod or anything. That's an infectious track.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wasn't "Born to be Bone" also in the BSC? If so, then your nomination may have been removed to prevent duplication.

Otherwise, I can't explain it.

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

But it didn't win, and no rule expressly forbids losing tracks from being nominated again. There's always been a nebulous code of honor thing against it, but as Aardark's never participated before, he understandably wouldn't know.

This said, I've no arguments with allowing Bricks (Jazzy Final) into SotW again. If anything, it'd be an interesting experiment to see what the occasional renomination can cause.

Of course, Aardark's allowed to change the nomination too.

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

Well, inasmuch as there seems to be a definite trend in the votes and, barring the most miraculous turnaround ever, it seems that the following remark is a loooooong time in the coming.

Congratulations, Mo0

I was speaking idiomatically.

Here's one of those direct link thingies

No, that's pretty much dead-on correct. Can't get much more correct than that.

And I've now been bumped into the week after the week after Percussion Week. Yay!!

Spoiler:

Boo.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It has to do with the nomination queue. As a past nominator, I have to wait until my turn arrives again. If people on this list higher than me nominate, my turn descends in priority.

However, new nominators, such as yourself, get executive priority; your name is automatically placed at the top of the queue and your nomination gets placed in the earliest accessible week.

Whoever has his or her name lowest on the "Next 8 Nominators" list gets bumped from that space and is made to wait until another week to see his nomination compete.

Here. This will explain the process fully.

I'm not mad or anything. It's just last night, I was remarking to CHz that it'd be a tiny bit annoying if one more person came along as a new nominator. I was at the top of the queue at the end of Week 64. Then the BSC came along and generated interest among some new blood. That's a very good thing, so I didn't mind getting bumped as some new nominations came in.

Then there is this week's "Percussion Week", which was a pre-planned onslaught of people who hadn't nominated in a while and had fallen off the queue altogether. Their special event bumped me into next week's SotW.

However, a ton of new nominators also came along, so that I was at the bottom of the Top 8. CHz noticed that it'd only take one more to push me out again, which was you. But fair is fair and your pick certainly takes precedence over mine.

I just think that this may be a SotW record of some type - "Most consecutive weeks in which a nominator has been bumped into the following week's queue."

FELIPE NO
