YAYS!!! 89 tracks makes you all teh winners!! Thank you all for participating with this snail of a website. We will not be running another compo (besides OHCs) until the BotB system gets stripped and rebuilt -- these redundant data loading issues are making BotB not so much fun to be around. D=

I tried to vote all songs but it was just too much. I had to do it in just two evenings and in the my head was spinning around. don't get me wrong I love chiptunes and I really loved what I heard but that was just too much. the next day I had to listen to Gabba music to free my head again.

btw: will there be an MP3 release like last time?

I didn't vote at all because of what ui said: I'm getting (or have always been) too lazy. \=D/

I agree with MM, maybe the voting system should be altered. Dunno, though, I really like it how it is. It's just so damn tiresome when there are a lot of submissions. ;_;

i agree... perhaps voting begins as soon as the track is posted. that way, we'll get a much longer voting period, spread out over time.

i voted, but i agree with blank. that is a really good idea.

on the other hand...
people find time to do what they really want to do.
eg. i didn't have time to vote but i watched all three x-men movies.

i see how it gets tiring, listening to all the submissions, but it is part of the fun too... i think.

Maybe you have to have a minimum number of votes for your song to be valid to get a placement... or something along those same thoughts... Just an idea :)

I voted for every song and commented on most AND I didn't even enter!

i'm against Miau's suggestion....

i think having listener's critiques are vital

botb could very well develop into a listener site, as well as a producer site.

--- if a chiptune or re-mix is played in a forest but there is nobody there to hear it... will people login? ----

Nice. (hio)

hmmm, I find it difficult to vote in one sitting 100 tunes. Voting 100 tunes is just time consuming. People are not up for that. The voting system...could be improved (not that I'm suggesting anything) so that voters are at least a bit more organized when voting. Nothing will help voting 100 tunes, though.

For the 8 of us that do vote on all songs, damn, we're a bunch of n00bs! xD

@lilly dunno -_- that could easily backfire on botb and scare/piss people who submit tunes off.

I was just kidding anyway :)
There are still solutions like "vote for the five tracks you like most", but I hate dislike system of voting and can't see how it would work well with the way botb's compos are set up... there'd be a lot of tracks nobody voted for so they all draw at a score of 0.00. :( BAAAD!

Oh, and people might start creating multiple accounts again and vote for their own tracks over and over.
I like blank's idea, though. Let us vote as soon as a track is submitted?! Why not!

This has turned into an interesting thread! =D

Allowing BotBrs to vote on a tune as soon as it is submitted is a good idea. Here is a list I have come up with for future voting features ::
- allow voting on Entrys as they are submitted
- when a BotBr updates their Entry during Compo Submission Time all related votes are trashed (possibly very annoying, possibly not-necessary, or a User Option?)
- a Voting Period still continues after Entry Submission Time is over
- BotBrs can review and change their votes until the Voting Period is over
- Home page should list Entrys with least number of votes AND has not yet been voted on by BotBr

And I'm sure there could be more but damn that's enough for my head now. I need to hurry and figure out this damn form automation module so I can move to them other handful of libraries. Then BotB 2.0 can begin.... MWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!! >=D

*in that case you have to clarificate to the User than, he gonna lost his votes if he "re-upload" a track.

- a Voting Period still continues after Entry Submission Time is over

*totally necesary, i could add... the voting time extend 1 week?... enought time to vote for "the rest" of the tracks, of just vote for all the tracks...

- BotBrs can review and change their votes until the Voting Period is over

*agree

rotfl.... too funny...

I see what you mean anewuser. I was just making a suggestion as well.

I do agree that if we are allowed to vote as soon as tracks are subitted then we should be able to change our votes as some voters base their votes on the other songs submitted.

I didn't enter and I know that, but I have in the past and I plan on entering in the future so don't count me out miau... I will kick your ass... one day! ;) I agree that listeners are important and even though they may not be the best composers (aka Lilly) we do help keep this site and the irc chan running and alive and cute :P

So don't count us out :)

And FTR... I agree that "you banana cock: is the best insult of the year! Who is picking up the award? They called and said it was ready!
