@azuarc Douse Shinundakara which is the tied most nominated song getting an expected seed of 12th really doesn't make sense and "listenability" + "interesting" seems biased if it's just you. Why not use Challonge or something to determine the seeds and then adjust from there?

Douse Shinundakara which is the tied most nominated song getting an expected seed of 12th really doesn't make sense yeah it's too high <_< In the past, I think azuarc has talked with others to help determine seeding. Though even if he isn't now, I don't think it's a big deal. Most nominated song also isn't actually the greatest metric to seed by. Most of us who have been around for a bunch of these will not only ignore songs that we consider safe, but will even pull support from them and drop them down to the edge (and in some hilarious/tragic cases below) the cut-line. Like, for instances, I wouldn't bother supporting songs at 5/5 because they're totally safe. Scrum Debate is a song I would hypothetically back but it needs no help. also azuarc underseeding my nominations only for them to dunk on the competition is one of my favorite vgmc pastimes >_> except when he underseeds them too much and they end up like 16 seeds that almost upset the 1 but don't quite make it --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

Relax. The time will be later in the day. I'm borderline busy up until I finish work at 8:30 EDT, so I can't do it before then, and I'm sure people would appreciate having some time to absorb the status after I finally get home and update what's been posted. Thus, it will be the end of Monday. Which, I imagine, is what most of you probably assumed if you had to guess.
So that's midnight Eastern Daylight Time. (That's GMT -4.) . Kikoman589 posted... @azuarc Douse Shinundakara which is the tied most nominated song getting an expected seed of 12th really doesn't make sense and "listenability" + "interesting" seems biased if it's just you. Why not use Challonge or something to determine the seeds and then adjust from there? Kikoman589 posted... ... While that's fair, I feel I should discuss how the bracket is designed. First, I listen to everything and take notes. What you saw was only a scrap of preliminary groundwork in that regard. I want to know what I have to work with before I start plopping things into places. But I determine a song's seeding mostly in terms of how well I think it would perform in the contest. So there are no other factors considered, like how many people supported it in nominations, or what style of music it is. I look at my own (as-objective-as-I-can) evaluation of it and maybe it's past track record in the contest if it has any. But that's really only my starting point. From there, what I have done in the last two years is name the top songs 1 and 2 seeds, and maybe I'll continue to 3 and 4. But at that point, I'm more interested in looking at pairings, contemplating sound styles, avoiding saturation of a particular series or genre in one division, and generally doing my best to ensure each area is as interesting as it can be...while recognizing that the stronger songs should ultimately bubble to the top. That means that seeding (a) can change from start to finish, and (b) I don't post it publically until well after the contest begins, because I don't want my perceptions and evaluations to influence voters. If someone sees 4 vs 13, they might vote for the 4 because it's the higher seed, or they might vote for the 13 just to stick it to the man. While the rules state that you should be voting singularly on the songs themselves, subtle influences can sometimes sway matters, so I'm not going to introduce additional factors. (This is also why vote tallies are prohibited during matches.) Before I finalize the bracket, I do ask a few people to glance at it and do their best to objectively point out where I've screwed up. I'm not immune to error or bias. I sometimes overseed things I like and underseed things I don't. I fully admit this. I do my best to avoid it, but last year, all the songs I supported except one ended up as the higher seed in their R1 match. Statistically speaking, obviously, that's unlikely unless you believe I only support songs that will do well in the contest. (Though there is some correlation there.) Last year, I aimed for 80% of R1 going according to seeding, and dropping an additional 20% with each successive round. I pretty much nailed that goal. Whether or not it was the ideal bracket, it at least met my expectations for it. I'm open to constructive criticism if anyone believes my methods in the past could be improved, but I am definitely not interested in bracket design by committee. Partner, maybe, but having the community decide is a recipe for disaster. --- Video Game Music Contest 12: Now in progress! ... Copied to Clipboard!
