banshiryuu 04/18/24 8:34:05 PM #160 | Yeah, agree with the above. I did miss one already happen earlier that it's kinda too late to take back now (Haste's Blue Desert Hotel) but I would say you can drop it but renomming something else straight up breaks the rules about the five nom limit. That being said, there is very good chance I will revive Karma at some point lololol |

banshiryuu 04/18/24 3:18:09 PM #146 | pyresword posted... Yeah, the video is the one I meant to link. Phantylia is the name of the boss fight the song plays in, and I think what I grabbed was an unofficial upload before the OST with official titles was released. The songs that appear on the official OST ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kQ7WKSGU9ftg8vHOtSVmatWy23a9Xb9ts ) are just the tracks for the 3 individual phases (roughly 0:00-2:00, 2:00-4:00, and 4:00-6:15 in what I linked), which are titled: Yeah as long as it's not like (song playing)-(big pause for story stuff or smthn)-(next phase plays) then I might be tempted to say that's leaning more into separate songs. But if the phase change happens dynamically or instantaneously then I think it should be totally fine. |

banshiryuu 04/17/24 8:59:23 PM #5 | BRACKET PHASE Population and Bracket Design After the closing of nominations, the bracket for the contest proper will be populated by songs in the following priority: 1) Songs that were locked before the end of the first week, which were guaranteed a spot into the bracket. 2) Songs with the highest number of nominations, based on total unique votes. (Thus 5 total/5 unique prioritize over 5 total/3 unique) 3) Remaining slots that are on the bubble will be chosen based on a number of hidden criteria, prioritizing those nominators that were not as successful in nominations as others. ... Bracket Design Once the field of 256 is finalized, the hosts will work swiftly on creating a bracket based on a number of criteria to make the most reasonable and interesting bracket possible. All the while everyone chants "WE WANT BRACKET! WE WANT BRACKET!" from the sidelines! As soon as we release it, a BracketMaker page will be posted to allow predictions to be made before the contest itself starts (provided BracketMaker is still a website that exists and functions.) The contest should start in the first part of May. ... Head-to-Head Matches Once the topic starts, every topic will go up at 10pm Eastern and have three matches. All six songs will be posted and users can vote for their preferance after listening to all the songs. And by "after listening to the songs" I really mean after listening to the songs! This may by a popularity contest on the surface, but we still would like everyone to judge matches based on the quality of the songs, and not just because a song you know and like has come up. If the hosts believe voting rules are not being followed, your vote could be disqualified, and repeated offences can lead to being barred from voting in matches. Winners advance, losers are out, ties get re-run, and double tiebreaks will come down to a special sudden death scenario should a tie not be resolved by that point. ... Retirement If a song does well enough to reach Round 5, or the Round of 16, then said song has proven its strength and worth as a "best of the best", and will be added to the "retired list" seen previously in the rules. |

banshiryuu 04/17/24 8:58:35 PM #4 | NOMINATIONS PHASE Nominations Rules and Guidelines * You have a total of twenty (20) nominations which can be used either on new songs that have not been posted before, or songs already suggested by others that you like. Both cases are counted as a single "nomination". * Of these 20 nominations, five (5) of these can be "double nominations", which counts as two regular votes but only one unique vote. Like regular nominations, these can be on a song you posted yourself, or another person's suggestion. * Under no circumstance will you be able to use more than 20 nominations, nor more than five doubles. * You will only be able to nominate 5 unique songs for each of the first two days of nominations: 5 new, unique nominations on day 1 (April 17th) and an additional 5 new, unique nominations on day 2 (April 18th). All 20 nomination slots and all doubles are available for use beyond five new unique nominations so long as you are supporting an already-nominated song. * This does mean if you hop in on day 2 (April 18th), you'll be able to nominate 10 new songs! * After the end of the listening pause at 9pm on April 21st, you can remove and add nominations and doubles as you wish without limit to the number of new, unique nominations until the end of the nomination period on April 28th. * If a song you have nominated or doubled is locked (see locked section below), then you will not be able to change that vote. ... Song Eligibility and Game Limits * You may nominate at most 3 songs from the same game. * You may nominate at most 5 songs from the same series. * You can't nominate two versions of the same song, including remixes of the same song and alternate versions of the same song. * You can't nominate songs that are on the retired list. (See VGMC total stats sheet listed in the first post) * In short, a song is eligible if it plays in-game, or if it appears on the original soundtrack or material that is meant to be OST-adjacent. A dedicated document for eligibility rules with examples can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1irtq3XJ9d4GMD8XJtmKBUl6zAHQ_zkzXFo0d2jEO-20 * If all else fails, just ask! The hosts will have the final say of if something is eligible, but with new changes that have come in the past few years even stuff that has been denied before could be eligible now. ... How to Nominate We're using a script to automatically tally votes rather than hand counting votes, so there's a bit of a format you'll have to follow so that it can actually pick up your nominations. Please use the following format: + Game_Name | Song_Name | Youtube_Link The "+" can be replaced by a "++" (immediate double), "-" (remove nomination), or "--" (completely remove a double). For example: + Pokemon Diamond/Pearl | Lake | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOmznKTv74M (Adding a nomination, or upgrading to a double) ++ Pokemon Diamond/Pearl | Lake | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOmznKTv74M (Adding a doubled nomination) - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl | Lake | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOmznKTv74M (Removing a nomination, or downgrading a double to a regular nomination) -- Pokemon Diamond/Pearl | Lake | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOmznKTv74M (Removing a double completely) Please try to match the exact text of nominations if you are supporting or altering a nomination that has already appeared before in topic. This includes links; please use the same exact link as the original nomination. Please, please, PLEASE avoid special characters like accented letters or symbols! The script does not like those kinds of things and they're a bit of a pain to clean up. Also don't edit posts to try and fix mistakes or add/remove stuff from your posts, just notify a host about mistakes or you can also fix them yourself with a - and + in the same post. ... Locking Locking system is back once again, but requires even more of a push to lock than last year! If a song reaches 7 nominations, it is guaranteed a spot in the bracket. However, anyone that has nominations on that song will not be able to retract any support on that song under any circumstance. No going back, so make sure that you're completely willing to have that song take up your nomination space! Once a host confirms a lock, the lock is irreversible. Once 128 songs have reached the lock requirement, then that's it! No more songs will lock and nominations will end with the highest scoring 128 songs filling the remaining slots in the field. There will also be a deadline on locks of 24 hours before nominations close, at 9pm on April 27th. |

banshiryuu 04/17/24 8:58:02 PM #2 | Greetings all, and welcome to Video Game Music Contest 18!! VGMC is legally an adult now!! Only a few more and then it can drink in the hosts' country! ....Well, what a great weird way to kick off the contest, huh? No matter, we have more important things to do, like getting this show on the road ASAP! ... What is VGMC? Video Game Music Contest (VGMC for short) is a single-elimination tournament of video game music that we run right here through GameFAQs forums. The community comes together to determine a pool of songs to populate the bracket with, and then run daily head-to-head matches to slowly determine the best of the best of the field. The community, you say? Does that mean I can help get songs into this bracket? Of course! This process of finding songs to use in the tournament is known as the "nominations phase", which is what is starting right now. Anyone and everyone can participate, and the more the merrier! There's a few rules and formats you'll need to follow which will be laid out in the post right below this one, but we'd more than love to see what you can bring to the table! How exactly does the song pool get decided then? Everyone who participated has a pool of 20 songs that they can "nominate", which can be either new songs or supporting other songs people have posted. During the two week nomination period, you can move around these nominations as you please, and once nomination time is over, the most nominated 256 songs (simplified, there's some other stuff that'll go down) will be our field for the bracket. Then your hosts will conjure up a bracket, and a while later the bracket will be released and the contest will begin! Where can I talk to people about the contest? We have a dedicated channel for VGM on the Board 8 discord, which is linked in the first post above! Find us in the #vgmusic channel! What kind of stuff has done well in past contest? Our previous host, azuarc, compiled a playlist of the winners of past contests here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW9O9mntH1RElFQnUIoUjxk4_bi-uLbVQ Additionally, you can see the brackets for previous years linked here: https://p0p0p0p.github.io/contests.html (thank you to PIayer_0 for this beauty of a site!!) |

I knew this past Monday would be when I finally have literally Nothing Except VGMC and could read everything and then I... just didn't! But I should be able to during the noms period, just gimme a lil bit. Speaking of noms, less than two hours away now!! OrangeCrush980 posted... Would Celestial from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet count? It was written for Pokemon, but it was released as a single ahead of time and is clearly more in the style of Ed Sheeran's other works. it would definitely cause an uproar lol but yeah i think it would have to be allowed since the song is clearly more tied to scar/vio than something like the eligibility docs' example of Ace Combat 04 and Blurry |

Topic | [VGMC] Video Game Music Contest 18 announcement!! Noms are 4/17!! |
banshiryuu 04/06/24 2:22:02 PM #1 | VGMC 18 nominations will open on Wednesday, April 17th at 9pm Eastern time (UTC-4)!! Note that the time for rollovers has been pushed from last year's 7pm to 9pm since I am likely to have to work later this year. This year, I don't have any really big things to announce, just some tweaks. But one might be a little bit of an impact so we'll go over that right away! Lock Threshold Change The requirement to lock a song is being bumped from 6 +s up to 7. I debated bumping this even up to 8, but last year locks didn't go super insane so I think a bump by one will do for now. But with our community holding pretty strong after the influx we got after locks were introduced I think it's almost a requirement to raise the number. Those with a good memory may remember I almost did this last year even, but yeah I can't let it go by as it was any longer. The Schedule 9pm Wednesday, April 17th - Nominations open, 5 unique nominations allowed with no limit to supports. 9pm Thursday, April 18th (start +24 hours) - Unique nominations raised to 10. 9pm Friday, April 19st (start +48 hours) - ALL nominations AND supports stopped. 48 hours pause enacted to let people listen to everyone's top priority nominations over the weekend. 9pm Sunday, April 21rd (start +96 hours) - Nominations and supports resume, unique nomination cap completely lifted. Go crazy! 9pm Saturday, April 27th (end -24 hours) - No more songs will lock past this point if the lock cap has not already been hit. 9pm Sunday, April 28th - Nominations close! The main difference here is that noms are extended an extra day to encompass the entirety of the second weekend as well. Like last year, this topic is getting out later than I really would have liked, but that's my fault for taking on other stuff that took up my March (looking at you GENRE-SHUFFLE 4 lol). Regardless, if people were hoping for other changes, since I didn't have much of a chance to hash more things out myself nor get discussion going in the community earlier then I am still open to considering other changes!! There's some bigger ones that I actually would've liked to iron out for this year (i.e. the "drop protection" system UF8 used for BOST 2022) but I'm also sort of in a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset and last year really kept me a believer in the lock system as well. Anyway, get hype!!!!!! |

Incineroar is one of the characters in Ultimate that I was actually kinda of pissed that development effort and time went into *that* character (along with Sora), which is ironic cause then the game came out and incin is SO fun to play and then he tore up VGC and now I love the bastard to death it's actually comical the 180 I've done on it.

Topic | Do you think the FAA should ground all Boeing planes? |
banshiryuu 03/15/24 3:45:58 PM #23 | ra2ah3roma2ma posted...
Those are company issues, not airframe issues. Thats not a reason to ground all planes made by said manufacturer, unless you want to believe there are problems unseen that run deeper into Boeings history, which starts to just get into conspiracy stuff. Maybe not giving airworthiness certification to new planes rolling off the assembly line should be done (again lmao), but grounding a ridiculous amount of planes for this that are unrelated expect for the fact they were made by Boeing makes no sense. Grounding a fleet should be done because of actual flaws with the airframe, not because the manufacturer has turned into giant piece of shit. |
Topic | Do you think the FAA should ground all Boeing planes? |
banshiryuu 03/15/24 11:37:28 AM #14 | No. All Boeing planes is such an overreaching stretch when the problems reside in conceptual design bullshit on specifically planes developed after the MCD merger. Which is basically just the 787 (which has been absent in recent discourse) and the MAX. And if the discussion shifts to United dont even get me started there with how people are freaking out over them because the media decided to start reporting on every single little incident they have like every other airline doesnt have stuff going on every day too. Theyve gotten a lot of mileage reporting on things that seem bad but actually arent to people that only know aviation as I fly from here to there |
