[SotW] Waiting Period Discussion

Since the NiGHTS 2 thing, I've taken to just looking at the year of the release and making sure it's 2006 or before (or "current year -2", if you prefer). I understand the reasoning behind this rule--when we talk about obscure stuff we have to say obscure by game music aficionado standards, so stuff that was recently posted on #gamemp3s wouldn't qualify.

But I do believe that there could be exceptions, for example for freeware games that get almost zero attention. In those sitations the nominator should make a case for it. More or less what happens now with obscure games in series that are deemed too popular.

So yeah I support the above-quoted sentiment. (But 3 months would be okay for me as well, it's not like new music is rotten or anything.)

I also think it's probably best to keep things simple: 6 months from the first release of the actual track. So if it's from a game rip, it would be counted from release date of the game, and if it's from a soundtrack, the release date of the soundtrack.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
