This is one of the big things I was worried about seeing from a lot of people ^^;; Is it the increase in amount in general or if there was a longer time period submissions were open would you be more likely to listen to more noms? I think there's a few things that could manage this. Longer nomination period would help, or maybe restrict these added 10 nominations to supports instead of new nominations. I'm not familiar with what proportion of nominations tend to be supports vs. introducing a new nom though, or how much of the nominated field gets into the contest. --- azuarc is quite good at predicting GameFAQs bracket battles. <cite>DoctorJimmy133 posted [p:952453918] in [VGMC] Vid...

I think the difference we have here is that you see it as a redone soundtrack as you said, while I see it as the original tracks, that were then put into a lower quality due to system constraints. So if the original soundtrack uses those pre-compression versions, then that's what is intended to be listened to without actually deviating from what the game's version sounds like too much. this sounds to me like you're ascribing intent without any real evidence that the intent exists --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -transience I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris <cite>th3l3fty posted [p:952454233] in [VGMC] Vid...

pyresword 04/04/21 5:22:28 PM #55:	One other thought is that if you want to have 30 noms instead of 20, you might consider doing noms in 3 tiers instead of 2. ie. Day 1 you allow 5 noms; day 2 you open it up to 15 or 20 for everyone, and then day 3 you open up whatever nominations people have left. Or some other scheme like that idk. If a lot of people are worried about 20 vs 30 noms being the difference between listening to everything and not, then this would at least allow everyone to have most of their noms listened to and to prioritize them if they have ones they care more about.

HasteDeux 04/05/21 8:47:36 PM #65:	I would be able to listen to more nominations if the nom period gets extended a couple of days, personally!!! What if we did two weeks total? I get the feeling some people would hate it lasting that long... or maybe it was already that long? Limiting original noms to 20 wouldn't do much to decrease the overall unique noms. I'm expecting a lot of users to increase their original nominations from (e.g.) 10 to 15, though... even I'm thinking about doing that. If we wanted to really limit total nominations we'd have to limit them to 10 originals per user. That's probably not a good idea. We had a grand total of 620 songs nominated last year by 66 users... The year before that was 627 songs from 69 users. ~30 hours worth of music. Crazy. If we get an increase of users we might be seeing ~40 hours worth of music? Here's an idea if we wanted to limit the total number of unique noms: have a unique nomination cut-off of, say, 500. After that you can only support stuff. That might mean people will be racing to get their music in, but hey. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"

Is there anywhere the explicitly outlines the nomination and contest process for newcomers like me? I'm sure Deo and Tox will have something longer in the days to come, but here's the short version: You will have 30 nominations/supports. Note that new tracks you're nominating and other folks' tracks that you're supporting both draw from the same pool. You can spend 5 of them on the first day, and any/all of the rest on the succeeding days. To nominate a track, simply post it in the following format: GAME_NAME \| TRACK_NAME \| YOUTUBE_LINK (Other sources are permitted, but youtube is strongly preferred. Additionally, that's the pipe character being used to delineate.) You can also double some number of your nominations/supports, which make them count twice. During the first week or so, all tracks that get above a total number of supports, including doubles, will be "locked." This means that they are guaranteed to get into the contest. All remaining slots will, after the full nominating period, be assigned to the tracks with the highest number of supports. Ties will be broken by number of unique nominators. (E.g., a track with 6 supports because three people doubled it [which we denote as 6/3] will lose to a track that was supported by six different people [a 6/6 track].) After that, there'll be a week or two wait while the hosts handmake the bracket, during which it is tradition to regularly say to them "WHERE'S THE BRACKET" and "WE WANT THE DAMN BRACKET." This is very important. --- Nonsense. "Testing" is for when you're still guessing--and now, I have no need to guess. -- Agatha, Girl Genius <cite>dowolf posted [p:952507876] in [VGMC] Vid...

HasteDeux 04/10/21 9:44:06 PM #93:	Let's discuss how to make the most of the 14 (15 if you count partial) days. How to listen to the music? One way to prepare yourself is to find a way to put yourself in the right mood for listening. For me it be relaxing and reading a book or playing a game with high-quality dialogue for 20 minutes to lighten my mood, then listening to a favorite vgm to engage my music mind. As for how to get the most out of your first listen of something unfamiliar? It seems like focusing on feeling the meter often helps you get more out of the music... of course, with metal or loud rhythm ostinatos that may not be necessary. There's a lot of other stuff I could mention, but that would probably be over-thinking things... But if you don't focus on certain aspects or details of the music your brain gets lazy and doesn't absorb much. But maybe that applies only to me being ADD and all.... I naturally have a harder time focusing than others do. Any advice to get the most out of first listens or to increase your vgm-listening endurance on a given day?

I suppose you could make a very technical argument that Vah Ruta's dynamic changes happen such that you would never have to interrupt the song so you could very plausibly have it run through all the variants unbroken so long as you don't leave the dungeon whereas with, say, Tarrey Town, you frequently have to leave to do its quests so an unbroken version of the song wouldn't exist in-game. ...But with the relaxed eligibility rules I don't imagine you'd have much to worry about. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:952701328] in [VGMC] Vid...

kaonashi1 04/11/21 1:03:31 AM #99:	I think in most reasonable cases multiple variations would be accepted as a single submission, especially if they appear that way on the game's soundtrack. In the case of Ryoshima Coast, it was actually nominated as one track (instead of two separate tracks Ryoshima Coast I and II as on the soundtrack) in VGMC6 (as Ryoshima Plains). If you're referring to the soundtrack version of Reach for the Summit (with all of that stage's music phases), both Resurrections and Confronting Myself got in with their soundtrack versions, which are also multi-phase. Other cases of clearly multi-phase/variation tracks that got into VGMC without eligibility issues include the Blue Reflection all phase mixes and the 13 Sentinels battle tracks. I say 'most reasonable cases' above because I think there are scenarios where the eligibility of multiple variations as one track would be less clear-- for example if someone tried to nominate an all-variations mix of Toad Town from Origami King, that might not fly (and that doesn't sound like a great idea anyway). (To expand on why this might not work-- no soundtrack pretext for it, and wide gaps in gameplay between hearing one variation and another, with no real way in-game to flow between variations organically.) <cite>kaonashi1 posted [p:952701921] in [VGMC] Vid...
