(Plz)

Ahahahahahahahahaha xD Hahahahahahahahahaha

Oh wait you're serious.

...uh. Actually no. I type it up then I ask for some input first in case I forget anything (though it seems like I do repeatedly). Oh, also the website is up and it has the next round ready. I'm definitely not showing anyone that until the next round begins though.

On the plus side you get 2 weeks for this one!

Why yes! See, I'm nice sometimes. :) You don't even have any instrument limitation or anything but the theme!

How much are you going to reveal? Is this going to be a strip tease or the whole thing?

I just look forward to revealing myself, giving an author's commentary to my piece and uploading it.

After careful consideration I think Step might be right. It could possibly be 100/100.

Reasons being:
Pros
> You gain potentially twice the knowledge for creating a composition and ideas.
> You gain potentially twice the experience technically, (mixing and mastering)
> You have the ability to check your audio on more hardware for better feedback.
> Negotiation and conceptualization of two heads will spur off better work most of the time.

Cons:
> Possibly more time involved as you depend on their time available.
> You have to go back and forth with a track (unless you are both in the same room)
> Communication is essential for success.
> Potentially your track could be worse off as decision making could be poor from one side or another, they could drag you down.

Overall, I think it's one track and therefore you still have the possibility of the same votes. You take the decision to have someone elses knowledge in your work, and all though we can play the numbers game, I dont think it matters, the decisions made can make or completely break a track. We could use round 2 and 3 as a test and give collabers 100% each. If it proves to lead to a ridiculous win then for the collabers then we can consider doing something about it.

I dunno, I just think there's going to have to be a percentage. Deducting by 2 is too harsh i think. Especially if they get only 2 votes. If they are foreseen as an unfair advantage then a percentage should be taken away, like 25% then give it to each of them. But I think we might need to see it workin in scores to really get an idea of how its going to work.

@CDMusic and @Malifex, I haven't gotten any message from you about your votes or lack thereof. Just thought I should give one last notification since there are only about 3 hours before voting ends.

We have 13 votes, by the way, and a 3-way tie for second place.

Ah shit, I was hoping I would be able to vote today. Started a new job and basically had no time to do anything but work and sleep. My bad, sorry guys.

Well, I think I'd agree with you (though all things considered I think there should be a slight penalty - ergo, the subtraction of a single point. The subtraction of two points would be a possibility when there are over twice as many voting 'points' to score... though I do see your point.

In any case, I agree with what you're saying. 100% for both collaborators due to collabs this time, and if people don't like it then it will be changed in the next contest.

Speaking of which, I'm typing up the next round right now!

The awkward moment when judging takes as long as the actual contest

Indeed.

By the way, we found a glitch in the matrix. The website hasn't actually been updated with the results and round 3 yet!

Would you rather I drop the thread on everyone and link to the non-updated website or update the website first?

I'm going to give it 2 hours to see if Samulis gets online to fix the website, then I'll post.

You're making me tempted to wait until Samulis actually does fix the site before posting the results and the next challenge. It's not like me posting it a bit late will cause you to lose much time (unlike the last round).
