Here are the results for the Round 1 Voting Period, congratulations to the winners! I did say that the number of dropouts would affect the number of eliminations this round. We were originally supposed to have
Four Eliminations, but the high number of drop outs made that initial number impossible. Thus, only two eliminations this round.
• lemon | Sinc-X | 204
• PictionaryTitleScreen | Torchkas | 174
• ElectricMike | Nameless | 161
• zinnia | Wakana | 156
• Nagisa | Kouhii | 153 (originally 163)
• route10 | Wavee | 143
• aquarius | Lui37 | 127
• 1000ab | DrTapeWorm | 125
• CyberspaceSanctuary | Daizo Dee Von | 97
• oyvey | MercuryPenny | 93
• BCKPDL | ergazoobie | 81
• gandrayda | Darius | 81
• OverWorld | Un8y | 50
• mountainfactory | Darkbones | 29
Results updated, fixed "Oy Vey", I don't know how that happened. I must have misclicked in the Calculator input. I had a lot I was handling at that point in time. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Kouhii would have made it in 4th place if the user submitted before extension of
Note Deadline. Also,
"B C K P D L" and "gandrayda" were in a tie, so I had to compare votes to see which one had higher votes, and as much as I love the "gandrayda" song, BCKPDL had higher votes. There are a total of
2-Eliminations this round, so really gandrayda and BCKPDL (Backpedal?) have nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, users
Darkbones and
Un8y have been Eliminated from the Idol Competition. Thank you so much for playing, better luck next year fellas. The rest of the competition will move on to the next round.
Also fun fact, I would have given "Gandrayda" a
14 Score, because it's my favorite of the tracks. I've been listening to it constantly ever since it got submitted.
Speaking of the next round... it begins
NOW!
Round 2
FIGHT!
CHALLENGE #2 :
You are to either port or compose a song. There are no limits to what you can do. HOWEVER!!! Here's the twist:
You must make a dark version of that very same song.
==>
In before people get confused: You have to port one song, then make/remix it into a darker variation. You don't have to port two different songs.
Rulings:
• An excellent example are the stage themes of
Tetris Attack SPC, take a listen to the regular and then the panic versions of the themes. This is an example of what we're looking for. Another example is
Agon Wastes and
Dark Agon Wastes. Use your imagination!
• You
ALSO have to make a dark version, this means
both versions must be submitted.
• You are
allowed to use custom samples.
• You are
allowed to use vanilla instruments.
• You must loop your ports/compositions properly.
• You are
not allowed to submit your composition/port to SMWCentral's Music Section until after the voting period. If you submit, you must use the #optimized sample group.
Submission will be handled via PM.
Private Message Skewer with the following:
TITLE : "IDOL SUBMISSION (Song Name:UserName)"
This is done for my convenience for voting.
•
.txt of your port/composition
•
sample folder
The contents are to be zipped in a .zip
folder.
Elimnations are
ENABLED for this round. There will be a total of
Two participants eliminated following the results of this round. Any questions you may have should be asked in the Discussion Thread.
Note Deadline is Thursday,
October 27, 2016, the moment I wake up. You have until then to complete this challenge. Afterwards, voting will be opened for five days and
Two Eliminations will be drawn.
Notice: You may not ask for an extension of
Note Deadline, as we've had an extension last round. Should you fail to submit, you will be counted as
Skewered Eliminated
