[SotW] Song of the Week - Qualification: Quiet Voice -conditional duty-

Would someone be kind enough to change my vote to "Abstain/Don't Care." With all due respect, I thought this was about VGM, not composers. I don't mean to oversimplify or generalize, but this... shit, going on in this topic is kind of striking a nerve with me. The guy has industry credibility, it's suddenly VGM. I mean, that being the case and given we can nominate "original compositions", I have to question the spirit of this event.

In case of tl;dr, I'm saying this is retarded.

How ya doing, buddy?

I realize your internet argument reflex was trigged, but don't worry... I'm better than that. I acknowledged that we can nominate original compositions, and before that stated the logic behind a lot of nominations, Blah. So what's your point?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I acknowledged that we can nominate original compositions, though I can see where you would believe the statement I make on "that line" would imply otherwise, it was a rollover statement that went wrong. To clarify, my line of thinking here is that if we can nominate original compositions, not this composer in question, and if we acknowledge that industry work means VGM composition experience... why is this track an issue now? The man's career seems to be up and coming, I feel that it's silly to really dictate what direction his career is going while having an event based on promoting video game music. It's kind of in the vein of what orion said in his latest post, in my eyes.

Edit: I'm switching because as I saw this unfold, it seemed to contradict the goal of SotW to me. As far as your claim of this being a "Screw you" goes? That's your interpretation, but it certainly isn't a reflection of my feelings. If I wanted to say "screw you", I'd stop nominating, stop voting, and stop acknowledging that this event even exists on the forums. Don't get it twisted.

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

I acknowledge that, but I appreciate any benefit of the doubt. Usually because my wording is a consistent source of fuck ups for me, it isn't the first time and it certainly won't be the last.

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