To be honest, virt has offered a VGMix mirror for Around the World from the very start. He said something about launching it alongside is only solo Dodge Ball album. I'm still waiting on a response from djp and the moderators. If they still allow remix projects to be offered for free, then I'll stay here. If not, then I'm gone to VGMix. I overreacted earlier. I've spend nearly a year on this project, and I don't want to simply throw it all away because of some policy changes.

I am so fucking disgusted by this. Because of OCR's new "remix pay-system", then I wouldn't be suprised if he also charges to download remix projects. Because you, the remixers, mojo, and myself won't see a dime from this, I have no other choice but to cancel Around the World. I'll talk to reelmojo about this. I may reconsider and just move the entire project over to either VGMix, OneUp Studios, or The Shizz (Minibosses forum).

You could do what I did and find someone to contact the remixers and artists for you. I just don't have enough time in my day to contact everybody I need to, and I'm glad that reelmojo wanted to step in and help me out.

The winner of People's Remix Competition #65 will be on the Around the World project! Check the first post and General Discussion for details.

Is it just me, or is it taking forever for patches to download? I started downloading the 1.10 patch an hour and 20 minutes ago, and I'm only at 11 percent. My roommate started at the same time, and he isn't even past 5 percent. Granted, I am behind the ZoneAlarm firewall, but it still shouldn't be taking this long. Edit: Ah, here we go. I was just being impatient. Well, I could delete this post, but instead I'll ask another question that probably everyone asks. Anyone here play on my server? I'm on Earthen Ring.

That's fantastic. I'm a sucker for a good piano player. Anyways, mojo and I have some interesting news coming up. Stay tuned for that.

Piano solo, you say? That's very interesting. Are you planning on using a live piano, or are you going to sequence it?

Last I heard from Robbie, his USSR track was just about finished, but I still don't know if he did any work on Ending/Credits yet. But that hasn't been in a while...

I'm happy to announce that reelmojo has accepted the position of Around the World's new Co-Director. He'll be the guy that constantly bugs the remixers to get their tracks to me so we can avoid the fiasco of the last WIP deadline. Let's all welcome him to the project!

Hey, this is some fantastic news. I can't wait to hear what surprises you come up with for this track. Edit: In other news, I've completely rehauled the first page of the thread, so everybody can read up-to-date project info without searching through the last couple pages of the thread. Smiles!

The last I've heard from Claado was this PM that he sent me back on February 12, just shortly after he expressed interest in remixing for Around the World: It's quite possible that he lost the time for this project as well.

...yeah, I never did that. I think the main problem here is that I can't seem to devote any of my time to this project. I don't want it to end, but I don't want to staginate any more. So, I can only reach one conclusion: I need a co-director. Badly. If anyone wants to help get this project off the ground, then please, please send me an email at alrobi2000@hotmail.com. Then we'll talk about this.

The bottom line is this: 21 of the remixes are complete, 5 are being worked on, and just one 1 is unclaimed.

Hopefully not sounding snide or smartassed, but if you hadn't personally mailed them already, Alan, I'd start. Get your networking skills going! I'm trying, but college life does keep me busy. I'm too determined to let this project fall apart, though. You do have a point, Larry. All I did was mention the deadline in the thread and I sent a PM to everybody at the beginning of February. I'll send more PMs and emails later today or tonight.

I got a WIP update from Rexy. As for the other five...well, I can't make a huge cut like that. I'll make a decision at a later point.

The WIP Deadline is Wednesday. I have not recieved a single WIP between the start of the month and now.

Fantastic. I was beginning to think nobody would take that track. Also, if you don't mind me saying, your old Dodge Ball remix from way back when (which was posted in this thread, BTW) partially inspired me to start organizing this project.

The end of the month is coming up. C'mon, let's get these songs in!

Ahhh! That's quite a shame to hear, as I really liked your All-Stars WIP. Maybe someday we'll get to hear the final product. Good luck with you in the future. Rexy: Yes, March 1st is the deadline. If you think you need an extension, let me know. 'The' Ace: If you want to remix the Title Screen, then I'd be more than happy to give you a WIP extension. That goes for anyone who claims a track from now until the deadline. Everybody, the month's about half over, and I haven't recieved any WIPs yet. Lets get these in!

Around the World: The Super Dodge Ball Arrangement Project Track Name ReMixer Name WIP Title Screen ------------ Team Setup Xelebes Yes Match Start Ichitootah Yes Team All-Stars ------------ Team England Nods Yes Team India ------------ Team Iceland Rexy Yes Team China ------------ Team Kenya Harmony Yes Team Japan ------------ Team USSR AkumajoBelmont/Dimmignatt Yes Team Shadow ------------ Versus Play ------------ Bean Ball Ryan8bit DONE Ending/Credits AkumajoBelmont No Available for guitar work: Wy0StarFox Available for vocal work: Ch|oroPhi|, Rexy Unclaimed Tracks Title Screen Team All-Stars Team India Team China Team Japan Team Shadow Versus Play The next WIP deadline is set for March 1st, 2006. With the exception of Ryan8bit, who's track is more or less completed, anyone who doesn't send me a WIP update will be cut from the project. Unless you have a very, very good excuse, there will be no exceptions. I've waited far too long for this project to staginate any further. The following list of remixers will show who's exempt from the cut. WIP Update (safe from March 1st deadline) Ryan8bit Rexy No WIP Update (possible cut from project) Xelebes Ichitootah Nods Harmony AkumajoBelmont You all have exactly one month from now to send me either an updated WIP or your final track. Let's get this project moving. Edit - Unfortunately, Dimmignatt has informed me that that he won't be able to continue work on his mix due to a number of reasons. I would like to publically thank him for the work he put into his tracks, and I wish him good luck in the future. Of course, that now means that five tracks are as of now unclaimed. Edit - Claado can't take part in the project due to his schedule with the Navy. So Team China is back on the list of claimable tracks.

Art style? Go ahead and be creative, but I am looking for a style that's similar to the SDB box art and Kunio-kun art in general.

...so...how 'bout those Steelers? Again, I'd like to make a request for anyone who wants to do album art for the project. At this point, I'm not picky.

I plan on setting another deadline in the next couple of days. As you can probably tell, I really don't want to cut anyone, but if I have to... Heh, I was already mentioned in like, the third or fourth episode of VGDJ, and again on the RotS release episode, where Aurora confused my project with Shael's.

Thread bump. I cleaned up the Track Listing post and removed the maybe list. C'mon, people. There are only four more tracks left! Let's keep this project from getting left behind by the others!

Me too. I think that's why I keep extending and cancelling WIP deadlines. I know that these artists have lives outside of the internet like I do. Things can get in the way of the creative process. But I also want to make sure that the songs in this project are great. I don't mean like OCR-level great or anything, but something that people will love listening to. I have faith in the remixers to do just that. Speaking of art, I would be very gratful to anybody who could design for me some little Around the World badge sig things like the other projects have. My SDB title sig that I stole from Seanbaby's site is getting old for me, and I'd like to go back to some of my other sigs.
