3/3, yay go my FIV

Feels bad seeing people celebrating 3/3 days when you voted for every loser. (Hardly the first time this contest.)

It hurt to see Chocolate Missile fight its way back to a tie only to get denied at the end.

But Distorted Happiness won and that's all that matters. you're next gust.

It's an admission of not wanting to go the full distance on the wordplay and making a crass remark about packing fudge.

This one actually made me laugh!

Yay for Autumn!!! Now the question is whether it can beat the winner of Revenger and FCDH.

All nine Pokemon tracks have completed their R1 matches now. Six of them won (even though DPP is only 1 for 3, how sad). I made a pessimistic pre-ciontest prediction that only two of them would win (Sky Tower and Fire Island Volcano), but it's clear now that Pokemon music is much more positively received now than two years ago! Okay, yeah, it did great in BOST, but that was a smaller pool of voters there.

Looking ahead a ways, but have we decided yet exactly how we're going do the Wild Card extra life vote-in?

Something to think about: If we do votes the traditional way in a regular topic, whoever happens to be leading early on in the poll may have a big impact on later votes. For example, let's say Fax Factory has 6 votes and Imbrium is in second with 5 votes early on in the poll, far ahead of the other contestants. This may cause a lot of people to abandon their own preference to support Imbrium because they don't want Fax Factory to get the extra life, or vice versa. So yeah basically, the worst-case scenario is that it could end up turning into a 1v1 anti-voting battle if everyone's votes are visible, destroying other worthy competitors' chances because they were unlucky in not getting votes in the beginning.

I'm not sure how likely that scenario would happen, but the remedy for that might be to have us PM our votes to you. Just something to think about.

You get 6 points to divy amongst all 9 songs, max of 3 to any of them. Ideally you give +3, +2, +1, but you're welcome to make other splits instead.

At least, that's the plan.

Just to clarify, we would be allowed to allocate three points to one song, and three to another, if we wanted, correct? Man, this could get a bit strategic.

A trial run would be perfect. Good thinking.

Oh, man, NFUN beaten to the punch.

Elferia is a track that I like more and more over time (granted, I originally was only aware of the SHORT version), so I don't mind seeing it as a favorite to win it all. Suddenly Flash Frost doesn't look so bad, either. Fire Emblem has been notoriously bad as of late, so seeing DBF win is a pleasant surprise.
