The...
never mind.
Mega Sackman, don't pay too much attention to Neblix. He's a member of the Church of Zircon.
-
I think Darke was still waiting on some submissions? I dunno, has everyone uploaded their songs already?
-
I really dig it. Keep those killer Mega Man mixes coming!
-
Yeah, bring on the mixes! I'm psyched to see what everyone's come up with!
-
yeah yeah, this is embarrassing. apologies to my teammates for not even being in touch, I really meant to try and put something together on thursday/friday but some stuff ended up happening and I just wasn't able to do it. really, really didn't care much for the source tune either (also regretting the one I picked
), so anything I could've come up with would have been really forced, if not a glorified midi-rip.anyway, yeah. sorry, fellow Beats.
Time Limit...FAIL?

When there is less to choose from, the race between competitors becomes much closer.
With fewer participants, an individual song has less to compete against, so votes are distributed more narrowly since there are fewer choices.
That isn't more competitive. That's just a closer competition.
You could get an even closer competition by only having two teams compete. It still wouldn't be more competitive, though.
-
And it's not elitist to want to limit the number of participants to make the management of the competition easier and the voting more competitive.
I'm fine with dropping it, but I just have one question.
How is reducing the number of participants going to make the voting more competitive?
-
It will be a long while before I do another compo in this format, but the next time I do, I'm going to limit the number of teams to five or six. Twelve teams is just a lot.
I gotta say, I disagree that this compo hasn't been a huge success. There's always some adjustment in a new process, and just because we've had some hiccups doesn't mean that this format isn't working. Yeah, people have been complaining an awful lot, but that's to be expected when you've got this many people participating, and just because that's how people get on OC Remix.
Sometimes it makes it hard to vote, but we really should be encouraging participation, not limiting it. I have to agree with orlouge here that this shouldn't turn elitist, which will happen if participation is limited. There's gotta be a better way.
-
You people always think you can get the one up on me.
You can't get the one up on DR WILY.
Don't you mean "Dr. Wiwwy" (at least in this round)?
-
EDIT2: Lesson learned? Do you think we'd change our number one votes based on who's in the lead?
No, I was talking about the need to vote. It has caused several teams to incur lower round rankings because they didn't vote and get their free 3 points per member who votes.
Blue Bomber Brotherhood was also missing two voters. It didn't affect their placement this time, but it did in past rounds, I think.
Also, Neblix didn't vote, but I think that's a first. FOR SHAME!
-
You need to VOTE FOR THE SONGS TOOOO!!!!!!! HURRY!!!!
Ironically, Block Rockmen Beats probably would have won this round if they all voted (and didn't all give "Dayquil, Nyquil" their number one votes).
Oh, well, lesson learned
EDIT: Nutritious, you can't vote for your own team
-
I was really anticipating Blue Magic's Cascade Capers track before, but after listening to the preview, I don't know if I can wait. Must have now.
Man, they are all great. I really want this album!
-
Less than 10 minutes left to vote.
Block Rockmen Beats is M.I.A.?
-
nah, it was just lost on neblix
and me
I think I get super-defensive about chiptunes because I love using them and have to deal with the actual haters so often
I love chiptunes, too. And I didn't think your song actually used Kirby samples this round, did it?
-
Kirby did not invent chiptune sounds. Nor did the NES, really. It's just barebone synth oscillators (because the sound chip in the NES wasn't powerful, it only used basic oscillators).
I guess my sarcasm was lost over the medium.
Notice the singular "song" in every instance that it is used. I was calling attention to the fact that "sounding like it's from a Kirby game" and "chip tunes" are not synonymous, and that only one song so far actually sounds like it's using Kirby chips
-
It helps that this was neither 80's synth-pop nor Kirby-esque, which helped it stand out. Easily my #1 choice.
Personally, I am also sick of how many song are using Kirby chip tunes. Really, so many song are using it that it's like a fad. I mean, with the huge number of song that are doing it, this should be called the "Kirby Castle Remix Gauntlet".
Srly.
-
Only two voters so far? Is everyone paralyzed from voting because of the pure awesomeness and ass-kickery of the tracks?
Cuz I know I am.
-
I'm kind of hoping MM2 is omitted. There are about 50 billion remixes of stages 1-2, and stages 3-4 have perhaps the worst music of any Mega Man game ever from a remixing perspective.
I'm hoping that reverse psychology works on DarkeSword, so I'm going to ask that he PLEASE not pick Mega Man 4 Wily Stage 2.

orlouge82: you got a sick mind, son
When there's a series of porno DVDs called "Dude, She's a Squirter!", I don't think the sexual insinuation is limited to his mind.
-
Don't worry, it'll be out in due time. Meanwhile, there are a couple of other albums getting ready to come out too, so don't fret!
Don't try to peddle your sloppy seconds Mega Man X album here.
Ha ha, just kidding, yours and this one are at the top of my list!!
-
Lol. And once again we are reminded that the sole purpose of these compos is to create Mega Man mixes for Darke's listening pleasure
Um, yeah, about that. I'm not quite clear on your whole master plan, Darke...
Step 1. Collect Mega Man remixes.
Step 2. ?????????
Step 3. Take over the world.
When will Step 2 be revealed?
-
Unlurking to give an example (which I hope is right), because I would not want to see any of the excellent artists here disqualified or otherwise discouraged because of a misinterpretation.
Team Metool has remixers A, B, and C.
First week: A, B, and C are all available to be primary remixers. Team Metool chooses B. Remixer A and C can also help out B, but not by doing the majority of the work.
Second week: A and C are available to be primary remixers. B is not allowed to be the primary remixer again until the fourth week, but he can help out the others until then. Team Metool chooses A. Remixers B and C can still help out.
Third week: Only C is available to be the primary remixer. Both A and B have taken a turn, but they can help out C this week.
Fourth week: A, B, and C are all available to be primary remixers again, since everyone on the team has gone once so far. Team Metool chooses C for the second week in a row. This is fine and dandy, but C won't be able to again be the primary remixer until the seventh week. A and B are, as always, welcome to help every week.
etc...
Okay, wait, so now each mixer has to choose a letter of the alphabet?
Does everyone have to pick either A, B, or C, or can someone pick J or Q?
Does the selected letter need to be unique among all other participants in the competition, or just among other team members?
Does it need to be from the Latin alphabet? What about a letter in the Greek alphabet? Or a Kanji character?
Can it be a number instead? If so, does it need to be a whole number or can they use fractions? What about negative numbers? Is there a limit to how high or low the number can be?
I guess I'm just really confused by this whole thing. Why'd you have to make everything so complicated, Darke?
-
guess i'm out then
Seriously, no one's picking up Nekofrog? There are two unfinished teams, and both of them should be trying to recruit him.
Neko, if you are trying to be a bit selective, you should look into joining Benjamin Briggs's team. I think they are still short one.
-
Is this just Wily Castle themes, or is it also pseudo-Wily Castle themes?
i.e. Dr. Cossack's Citadel, ProtoMan's Castle, King's Fortress, Mr. X's Castle
That last one technically is a Wily Stage, since, well, if you've played the game you know why.
I hope at least Mr. X's Castle counts because its Stage 1 music is awesome.

I swear to god, because of all of the RadioSEGA ballot stuffing, if Rexy wins this round, I'm never going to pay attention to one of these competitions again if Rexy is involved.
