The contest is free entry. Simply use the e-mail on the contest page. That same e-mail is also on the 'Contacts' section.

All I need is a nickname, six characters max. If you win, I will need address info to write out a check to you.

And yes, all you need is the game title.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Tunes 71-80 are up as of now. Due date may be extended till the 20th of June. That gives people time to find the hidden stuff and what not.

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

For those keeping track, 3 things:

Tracks 71-80 are online

Tracks 81-90 will be up on Monday. Even though it is Memorial Day, the contest tunes will still be uploaded as scheduled.

For those who want additional updates from what I post here, there is now a subscription page availabe for future updates.

Thanks a lot, and hope that everyone has a good holiday weekend.

Hello Again,

I'm here to put up a long awaited update of my music contest, which started shortly after my tournament back in May. As of now, ALL of the tracks are released. All that's left are the Hidden Songs, which are available as well. That's a total of 125 songs to choose from!

Currently in first (subtotal wise) is NXS from SRK, followed by 198One from Soundtrack Central, and Todd (unknown)

29800pts - NXS
23800pts - 198One
08300pts - Todd

This is subject to change, and I received a batch of answers that will radically change some scores around.

----------------------------

Here is a recent question I received:

> Hello! I am submitting an entry for the tune contest with some guesses.
> I would like to go by the name "RDan" in the standings list.
>
> Also, a couple quick questions: If I guess wrong, am I allowed to make
> another guess? And if so, how many times can I do this? Also, songs
> that subtract points as a first guess bonus, are those only if guessed
> wrong? Also, is anything lost on an incorrect hidden song guess?
> Finally, can I go back and guess a song is fan made even after
> guessing the game it's from?
>

--You can make as many guesses as you choose, as long as you don't make
multiple guesses per submission.

--To promote more educated guesses and less spam, the negative points and
multiplication was put into effect. You are correct: if your guess is
INITIALLY wrong, you are subject to losing points from your subtotal at
the end of the contest. Likewise, + values add on an initial correct
guess. The only cumulative penaties is guessing wrong on Fan Songs and the
Booby Trap Song.

--Points won't be lost off a hidden song. The challenge moreso is to find
the song. Only Track E is the challenging one. Also, the hidden tracks are
only valued based on the foundation of your correct guesses.

So if I guess Hidden Song E correctly, and have 200 points, it's only
worth 100 points...the ends don't justify the means. However, if I have
32000 points, it's worth 16000. Correct Hidden Songs are
cumulative...meaning I can multiply my subtotal by 1.1 and then THAT total
by 1.x

So...if I guessed B, C, and E correctly with again 32000...

32000 x 1.2 = 38400
38400 x 1.3 = 49920
49920 x 1.5 = 74880

And with a matter of 3 songs, my score has more than doubled. That is
where the genius of the point system comes in. Look at the rules (or
download them) to find out the final analysis when the contest ends.

--You can correctly guess a title and return to submit the Fan Song Guess.
It's also possible to submit a correct answer and get the Fan Song Guess
WRONG. It has been done...so be careful: 250 points lost for each wrong
Fan Guess.

----------------------------

One more week to go!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just a reminder, the last day of the contest is SUNDAY.

Between Midnight and 3AM EST, I will be online taking last minute entries. Please look at the current high scores to see what you have to beat to get to first. Good Luck!

PS: If you send your answers between now and Sunday afternoon, I will NOT tally your points, but I will tell you your incorrect answers. That way you'll have time to correct them in time for the deadline.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Compiling the final results now. The winner will be officially announced later today along with the answers list, and more 'surprises'.

How ya doing, buddy?

Congratulations to Nothingxs, who wins the Music Contest once again.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

There are 5 Fan Songs total. The actual versions of the Fan Songs are on the answer list as links. 106 is an advanced midi version...once you download the actual track, compare the two and you'll hear the differences.
