this seems like as good a time as any

hi! i'm bebr. i'm not very active on the board itself, but if you're on the discord, you might know me from the vgmusic channels, or perhaps as a high quality meme poster.

here on the contests board, there's a yearly video game music contest that starts around this time of year. every year i try to listen to everyone's day 1 nominations, so i can be fair about throwing out supports. i mostly succeeded back when i first started participating a few years ago, but more recently i have simply been too busy during the noms period, and can't quite make it through in time. this year, i'm trying to be smart about it -- i have time now, so i want to try to get some of that listening done now.

that's why im taking the initiative. idk when vgmc will be this year, but i am singlehandedly declaring that vgmc season is here, and that means it's time for some potential noms playlists! i'm asking everyone to send in a playlist of your potential vgmc noms for this year! yes, that includes you, the cutie reading this. pick out a couple of songs that you think deserve to be in the video game music contest (and that aren't retired -- see https://p0p0p0p.github.io/retirees.html) and put them up for everyone to see. there's no hard cap on playlist length, but i'd recommend no more than 3 hours total. it's a win-win: i receive cool music to listen to, and you receive impressions about your potential noms.

but how will you receive those impressions? why, through mankind's greatest invention: a SPREADSHEET! you can find that here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_LEtFv5z5j39D2MX5BhcEIyxgFb6AoMjUGZSN3Dszmg/edit?gid=0#gid=0 . it's full of fun google sheets magic. i've tried to make it easy for people to add their own playlists, and to add ratings for songs as they go through others' playlists. i've already reached out to a few people directly for playlists, so you can see some examples in the sheet already.

you can submit playlists in a few ways! if you don't want to put in too much effort, the best thing to do is either put it in the thread on the discord, or post your playlist in this gamefaqs topic. if you're willing to put in a bit more effort, and you want to start seeing ratings without waiting for me to add everything, you can add your playlist to the sheet yourself. to do that, first add your name and playlist link in columns A and B of the main sheet. then create a ratings sheet by duplicating the template linked in E2 and filling it in, and link to that sheet in column C.

oh, and don't worry about having to "lock in" your playlist submission: feel free to add to or otherwise modify your playlist after submitting it. you can make the corresponding changes to the spreadsheet yourself, or let me know that youve changed the playlist and ill update the sheet.

alright, i think that's everything! happy vgmc season!

joke's on you, i'm always locked in

ok that was bad. anyway i added mine for this and next year now. no promises i'll do impressions of everyone else's playlists since i still need to get back onto reviewing the crowdsource songs and then the reverse ranking, but if those look like they're going fast enough i might commit soon

decided i won't be participating in this one after all since i'm already burnt out from the reverse ranking and also the two-part vgmgg i ran this week and potentially another one coming up and yeah (also i finally had some switch games arrive the other day i really want to get started on soon)

but i am cleaning up the song lists for my playlists now (edit: and finished)

also whoever put muse dash for midstream jam is woefully uncultured https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rze8nvBXEeU

  1. I put my first bunch of ratings in the spreadsheet. I want to keep it simple so its based on the question would I support this? and the possibilities are Yes/No/Yes*/No*. Yes* still means yes and No* still means no, they just have additional considerations. I am going to make an effort to support stuff this year, but I am definitely not going to listen to every single nomination because thats way too much (and because I dont want to spoil myself on every song in the contest). So if youve got something you think I might be interested in, put it on the table sooner rather than later.
  2. I will be day 1 nomming Bowsers Inside Story - The Grand Finale. Why? Because its performance last year convinced me that it does have the potential to retire, so I ought to help it get a good seed. For now I dont have other noms planned.

I'm just looking at this spreadsheet for the first time, and...I didn't think you were actually going to add my post to your records.

This works, although it's a little weird. The usual way is to link to the playlist itself; go to the page for the playlist itself and hit the share button, using the "copy link" option.

anyways i know i dont have the temperament to go through all of these and then also listen to a ton of actual vgmc noms (i consider getting through day 1 of those a win on my part) but i should probably at least note songs i know id support just by looking through the lists

- Courtroom Revolutionnaire - Basically definite
- Great Pursuit - Basically definite, though I haven't checked yet, I hope you included the one with the prelude or whatever
- Baladium's Drive - Very likely
- Sinful Syncopation - let's be honest this probably doesn't need my support, but if it does somehow start floundering id probably help
- Curtain Call - it's not my favourite OS song but if i still have room I could see myself supporting it at some point

Took a look at the sheet and started knocking out some listening, trying to get as much ground covered for this year!

I also added myself to the sheet, here's the playlist I'm considering for those curious:

Does anyone on here have just the five songs they plan to nominate day 1? I'll happily get a head start on that.

I mean, I have three blocks of five. The first block is what I originally intended on nominating Day 1. The second block is what I originally intended on nominating Day 2. The final block contains my leading candidates to be replacement noms if I want to sub any from the first two blocks out.

However, I am now intending on moving a song from Day 1 to Day 2 noms and vice-versa.

The first 5 songs on my part of the sheet are my Day 1 picks. I usually have a solid idea of what I'm offering to people before I submit anything for listening parties/feedback sessions.
