I want to try to set a couple of requests on the basis of scoring:

1. Please rate on a scale of 0-10, and try to center your ratings so that a score of 5 represents a song you are neutral on. A score greater than 5 is a song you like more than dislike, or think does more things right than it does wrong, or something along those lines (not a song that is better than some ephemeral 'average'). This is recommended

2. Please try to use the full range of scores available to you if it's applicable. Some people (like me) tend to rate high on average. I'd usually give a song that is ok to listen to but is completely unnoteworthy and doesn't stand out up to a 7. In this system, it would be more like a 5.5. This is recommended

3. Please try to have a flat scoring curve. You should like a song that gets a 3 as much more than a song that gets a 2 as you do a song that gets a 10 compared to a 9. This is highly recommended

I know these rules are annoying to work with, and perhaps contradictory (which is I specified that the third rule is the most important) but they necessary to help make scores comparable between different users to get a consensus rating of the games' soundtracks (which is in principle the purpose of this project). Most of you aren't rating too many songs and you have a month to do this, so I'm sure you'll be able to try to follow this guidelines.

Feel free to include in your score report your ratings of the songs according to your preferred system and I'll include them at the end. Writeups are also, of course, more than welcome.

I'll be sending out songs now (over Discord if applicable; let me know if you'd prefer it over this site's PMs). My final request is to refrain from sharing what songs you received with other people, or the scores you gave. I want these rankings to be a surprise, and I'm going to present the results like a normal user ranking topic. Return the rankings in the same file I sent you, or a new spreadsheet or Google sheet. If you can't access the sheet, of course let me know.

Please message me "Olivier is the hunter of love and he has captured my heart" or some message stating you have read the rules before rating any songs. I won't count them if I don't get some kind of confirmation that you know what I want for the scoring system
