I'm not sure if there should be so many titles... first consider the judges. Do you know for a fact that we want to be that in depth with our votes? Sure, we'll listen to everything but at this rate we'll be handing out titles and victories to everyone which is not the point of a comp. Otherwise competitions would be called "everyone wins." I think what I'm mostly whining about are the VG and blazing categories. Fact is, I'm not listening for drum and bass. I'm looking for the person who used the break the best. To start to categorize prizes by genre just isn't fair/ competitive. Otherwise you'll need a genre for "emo funk breaker."

I guess what it all comes down to is the age old debate over whether or not genres really matter...

I think we should just keep it as Gold, Silver, Bronze.
Simple, effective, etc.

Like, not everyone can record guitar. They might be able to play a sweet lick over their track, but have no way to record it. So they're screwed.

Also, I don't want to have to judge everything based on that huge criteria.

This was just an idea. But after thinking it for a while. Even i changed my mind about it. It would take a lot of time to judge. Gold, Silver etc would be simple. Also would avoide the evrybody wins drama. And i was about to discuss it with you guys but never got the time to.

Well, I agree with the other judges. A simple Gold, Silver and Bronze is sufficient I think. So what we should do then is, when the deadline is reached, send you PM's that we think should be the 3 winners and you'll total them up yeh?

That's why I'm actually judging three times. The more votes the better!

Also, I'm joking :P

He's probably either taking his time with it or forgot. I'd rather have to wait for something and have it done right then to have it quick and wrong. Fact is, differnet people look at the world in different ways and to some people, interpersonal skills are worthless. Just give it time, You have voiced your opinion, now wait for a response. Fact is, that comment was directed at youri. You could have sent him a message instead of alerting all of us. At the same time, I could have sent you a message but then you have to consider the fact that other people might read this and learn something.

I gave a link a while back in the post. Here it is again incase you didn't read it. If you don't learn something about how other people work from that, then you'll probably learn something about yourself. Unless your learning style doesn't include a little bit of itrapersonal skills. In which case I'd like to ask, who do you think you are?

:P

well

I didn't mean to offend anyone, I just wanted to know if he was going to update the list because in the last post I posted he replied he would update it soon. I'm not trying to make anyone angry for no reason, I'm not that kind of person.

Yeah, I caught onto that. Sorry if I came off like a dick :P

A friend of mine showed me where the sarcastic button was on my computer. I forgot to turn it off and I sounded like a dick for an entire week.
