Song of the Week - BATTLE 11 Voting/WEEK 89 Nominating

It's much easier to vote when you've heard all the tracks.

3 Points: Suikoden - The Divine Oath - Dreams Come True Someday (Orchestra Version)
1 Point: Sword Maniac - Mad Buffoon
1 Point: Let's Make a Pro Baseball Team! ~ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK~ - Forty Year Plan, are you finished?
1 Point: Wild Arms the Vth Vanguard Original Score Vol. 1 - Seeking the Blue Sky

This is a great set of winners and the quality is quite balanced. Nothing is so singularly head and shoulders above the rest that I'll feel poorly for backing my own nomination, and then scattering the other three points amongst those that provided me the most smiles along the way.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

For what it's worth, Mo0 struggled similarly. He was deprived of the gold for weeks on end, and lamented openly on the subject. However, his luck changed when he nominated "Baba Yetu", which swept its week and the subsequent Battle.

So, I wouldn't doubt that lightning can strike twice and it could happen to you too, Goldfish.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But was the bonus point system in place so early in SotW's history? If not, then the results should remain as they are.

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

Maybe we should have people keep statistics on the amount of time between their first nomination and first gold.

I actually like this idea, just out of sheer curiosity's sake. I know that Secret Squirrel has nominated only one track, "Graveyard Labyrinth", and it took gold.
Technically, that gives Secret Squirrel a 1.000% batting average, which is obviously as good as it gets.

I'm sure that others have decent numbers, as somebody obviously won Week 1 and took gold on their first attempt. Likewise, this probably held true for the winners of Week 2 and 3, depending upon how long it took for the nomination queue to recycle itself.


And the Suikoden track finished higher up than I thought it would've. Thanks for the last minute support, Liontamer!

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

But we haven't even finished up the Best Chiptune Contest.

I also recall seeing rumblings of discussion over another SotW "One Year Battle" like we had last year.

I'm beginning to wonder if the community's getting a little burned out on all these drawn-out song contests. Participation seems to dwindle with each successive event.

(Also supporting a SotW statistics thread.)

I was speaking idiomatically.
