Topic	[BOST] Best OST Contest 5 - Announcement and Pre-Contest Discussion Thread
xp1337 07/07/19 7:11:59 PM #29:	FL81 posted... If I remember correctly, the first year of BOST had all the songs play in slot order, so people were trying to maximize setlist strength around that. Then in later years it was completely randomized, so people had it listed strongest first all the way down to weakest last. In BOST1 the order was the order the nominator gave and there was some meta-questions about how to best do that. I think it mostly inclined towards weakest-to-strongest but it was also a bit of a free-for-all, with some people inverting the order or whatnot. FWIW, I think my take on the meta was considered to have "won" the day since Ar tonelico II ended up winning (though how much credit goes to my order is questionable, AT2 is just an amazing OST), and my tweak was weakest-to-strongest with the exception that I moved the second-strongest to the first slot to ensure survivability in the first round as a hard counter to the people playing with the idea of leading with the strongest song to get their nom early wins. BOST2 was also by-nominator-order but like I said, my meta had won the war at this point so I think more people followed it this time around. It also saw my continued reign of terror when all 7 of my noms made the field, won R1, and my first actual loss was friendly-fire when two of my noms faced each other. Though Shatter won the contest overall. I forget if BOST3 saw the jump to random order of it that was just BOST4. ~~~ pyresword posted... Is anyone else planning on nominating Trails in the Sky the 3rd? If not then I will do it, but it has a severe danger of ending up with a lineup that is far from "optimal" if I'm in charge of it, even if I'm consciously trying to not have it end up that way. I can't tell if I'm "vgm'd out" right now so I honestly can't tell you what I'll do, including even participation, but for 3rd I think I'd have something looking like this (purely done off the top of my head, could be missing stuff) Cry for Your Eternity Overdosing Heavenly Bliss Determination of Fight Masquerade of Lies Castle of Illusions - Phantasmagoria Dreamy and Boisterous Holy Land Alts/Other Considerations: Fighting Right On, Genuine Devil, Parallel Universe, Illusionary Blue Flowers, A Still World, Labyrinth of Shadows and Light, Aster House, Reminiscence idk something like that. not too happy that that main selection is all battle themes (well phantasmagoria does double-duty) but that's just what i came up with on the spot. FC: Silver Will, Hollow Light, Hoshi no Arika/Whereabout of the Stars, Recapture, Sophisticated Fight, Ruan/Zeiss/Ancient Makes/Those who Protect the Greatest Treasure idk you guys definitely forgetting hoshi no arika lol SC: Silver Will Super Arrange, The Merciless Savior, Fateful Confrontation, Fight with Assailant, Unleashed Greatest Treasure, Fate of the Fairies/Liber Ark/a few others idk i probably put up a SC nom in a past contest with like 6/7 of those lol. I can off-the-top-of-my-head other OSTs I'm familiar with if people care/want a second opinion/are afraid they've overlooked stuff. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:924377904] in [BOST] Bes...
