  1. It's an interesting hypothetical; I think it would be case-by-case, though. Anything so random/generative that it doesn't have a consistent structure to serve as a point of reference obviously can't be "arranged" in the traditional sense of the word, and would thus be ineligible. Anything debatable, well... we'd need to debate it
  2. I'm not sure we made a call, 100%, on that. What I'd like to capture in our definition of a game is that there should be a degree of challenge. If a visual novel is branching and allows for interactivity such that your actions can affect the outcome, especially if some outcomes are more "desirable" than others, I'm comfortable with that. If you're literally just sitting there clicking "next" through a bunch of slides, that's more PowerPoint than game, and I think I'd object. What makes VGM unique in the first place is that it's music for interactive experiences that involve challenge of some sort. If there's no challenge and/or the level of interactivity is REALLY basic... http://ocremix.org/info/Game
  3. It's an intentional emulation of "Friday" designed to generate threads like this. None of us should be operating under the assumption that music, ESPECIALLY on the Internet, is a meritocracy. I'm happy with the exposure OC ReMix has gotten, and want to expand it, but never at the expense of resorting to this sort of scheme, which would undermine our mission to enhance, rather than cheapen & defecate on, the appreciation of VGM. If it's stats you're after, though, this DOES work, case in point being that we're talking about it at all.
