Topic	B8 helps azuarc rank OSTs [reverse ranking][nominations]
azuarc 01/02/18 12:37:53 AM #1:	I know there are two active VGM ranking threads, but doesn't that just make the rest of you wish you could rank stuff, too? Still, who wants to commit to the massive overhead of listening to and separating 100 songs, doing write-ups, plus dealing with obnoxious people obfuscating your rules about what to nominate, etc? (NFUN, Jeff Zero, and maybe zyxyz0 do.) Fortunately, for the rest of us, there's a solution! You, along with 23 of your peers (plus me) can rank just a few short lists of 5, and then we compile the results into overall standings. It's simple, really. ...okay, it's a smidge more complicated than that, but I do most of the hard stuff. It has, however, been ages since I've done a reverse ranking thread. People usually like them. The idea is pretty close to what I describe above. 1) People nominate five songs. 2) I assign a number to every song. 3) I make several lists of those numbers, partition them into fives, and dole them back out to the board. 4) People agree to take a block, rank them 1-5, and then have the option to do more. We keep going until each of the lists are complete. This will be the nomination thread. For this particular reverse ranking, we will operate with a simple twist: * I will accept the first 25 nominations. * If you nominate, you MUST nominate five songs. * They must all be from the same game. * You may not pick the same game as any other user. * There are no series restrictions. * I humbly request that you either agree to rank five blocks, or tell me up front that you would prefer more or fewer rankings, to help me decide how to split the lists. In the end, I will matriculate the scores not just for the individual songs, but also for the soundtracks, so you might consider viewing your nomination as a chance to decide what game has the superior soundtrack (because I've totally never done a contest about that or anything), or you might take this opportunity to see what the board thinks of five different songs from the same game in case you were, say, debating what to nominate for the next VGMC. Does that cover everything? I hope so, but ask away. And to demonstrate format, here's the first nomination: Nom: Divinity: Original Sin 2 Main Theme - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1APFIJN-ubU Rivellon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BksokWc3Da4 A Part of Their Story - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LGg2Z8B91w Sing to Me (Lohse version) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p8bC0zk3hI Sins and Gods - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aQNWk-1bQw ranking preference: standard 5x5, but will do more as needed --- http://imgur.com/ekqlssN <cite>azuarc posted [p:893268943] in B8 helps a...
