Ngadm '12: Round 2 2012-08-19 16:53:59


After much anticipation, I present to you the Round 2 thread of the Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch (NGADM). Never heard of the NGADM? Go here. But don't sign up. It's too late for that. This marks the end of Round 1 and the beginning of Round 2.

I will be posting a list of all the pairings of Round 1, each judge's score on it, and the winner of the pairing. This year's round had some fantastic submissions and very close calls, including the Bosa vs samulis pairing which has been one of the closest pairings in NGADM history.

After those scores, during the 2 weeks of Round 2, the judges will be working on posting reviews on your submissions' Newgrounds pages. These reviews will explain the scores you were given and will appear whenever the judges finish them (some are already finished!), so keep an eye on your Round 1 submissions!

Before all that, I'm going to lay out some rules.

1.) Do NOT ask why you were given a particular score in this thread. The review will be posted on your song in due time. If you've got something to say to a particular judge, do it via PM.

2.) Please wait until everything is posted before posting yourself. By everything, I mean results and pairings. It may take up more than one post.

3.) Any Round 2 submissions go in this thread. Do not use older threads.

4.) PMs will be sent notifying everyone of this thread. If you have already seen this thread and then receive a PM, disregard what it says in the PM.

5.) Read the RULES again. You never know, you might have missed something.

Also, thanks to RampantMusik for compiling an ongoing song list, Bosa for discovering that one of the NGADM competitors was a thief, LiquidOoze for taking his place upon his disqualification and Artist-Lost once again for making the fantastic logo you see below. Seriously, check out his art and perhaps give it a review! He deserves it, right?

Also, thanks to Acid-Paradox, Buoy, BrokenDeck, Back-From-Purgatory and SkyeWintrest for working very hard on judging your submissions and driving everyone nuts in the Round 1 thread.

Without further ado, the results! Remember, don't post till everything is posted!

If you made it through, congratulations and good luck in Round 2! If you didn't, then at least find SOME comfort in the fact that making it this far is already a massive achievement!

Sorry for the formatting goofs up there, the staff still have some glitches to work on, clearly. And by BrokenDeck I meant FixedDeck. Sorry, didn't know he got fixed. If you spot any other mistakes, please let me know!

Also, I'd like to stress not to ask for reviews or ask/complain about why you got a particular score in this thread. Back-From-Purgatory is watching you all like a Hawk-From-Purgatory and will delete any posts that violate the rules!

And that's it! Posting can now commence.

Also, there was a miscommunication between the judges for this round and Breed posted some scores too. Don't expect reviews from him since he wasn't supposed to score all the submissions this time, but hey, I thought we can post them here anyway, just for curiosity purposes.

Can we call it a tie and Bosa and I be an dastardly duo of death and destruction and waterphones if he agrees to? XD

Yeah, sorry dude. At first we thought you didn't submit anything in time since you didn't post your track in this thread. We only found your track like yesterday and by then it was too late to score it and whatnot so we just let you pass since your opponent didn't submit anything.

I'm sure some judges will give you a review though in due time!

Mr. Tibbetts -- I enjoyed your track, and I will make an effort to review it before the weekend is over; if I'm expected to go up against Bosa in the next round, then I definitely need your support! (And, if you're religious, maybe your prayers, too!)

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to compete with the bloke who beat samulis, but I guess we'll find out as we go forth. Forget pistols at dawn; we'll be bringing out our largest-bore cannons on the 2nd of September!
