The votes are in (and by votes I mean a handful of funny formulas) and the songs that are making the bracket on the bubble of 4/3 have been decided! These songs will be joining the bracket:

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team - Try, Try Again
Mission T.H.I.N.K. - Level 4
Borderlands 2 - Flamerock Refuge
Zoku Satsuriku no Django - Cold Metal
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Plains of Eternity
Missing-X-Link ~Ten no Yurikago, Togi no Hana~ - The Blue Sanctuary
Kirby Super Star - Staff Roll
Hades - Good Riddance

Which means these 4/3s are left on the cutting room floor:

Fashion Police Squad - The Almighty Tailor
Dragon Poker - Jump-off! [Piano Trio Arr.]
Tekken 5 - Formless Like Water
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse - Battle - f8 One Who Stands Against God
Corporate Lifestyle Simulator - Scream
Phantasy Star Online 2 - Assaults of Mother Cluster
Gamera2000 - The End Of 1996 H.K.
Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6RR - Starry Night
Sonic Unleashed - Endless Possibility
Yakuza 4 - Whiskey & Rhapsody

The spreadsheet will be updated with the full field momentarily, and keep your eyes peeled for the bracket announcement... soon! I'm hoping to get it out a lot faster than past years so it shouldn't be long!

Nominations are now over! Thank you for participating!!! Bubble songs will be announced shortly.

The original spreadsheet entry has that title spelled "Zavied," so the spreadsheet now has a duplicate and lists you as having -1 noms remaining.

oh good catch lol, i'll fix the original nom since Zaveid is correct

MLW already hit 8 before this so you get your support slot back for this one

Lock period is over! Songs that reach 7 points will no longer be guaranteed into the contest, and only songs that reach 7 after this point can have supports retracted.

Dropping

Be sure you drop stuff before your supports otherwise the script won't count your noms properly. You don't have to do anything btw I fixed it already but just in case stuff is going down fast and I can't fix it myself and stuff gets messed up!

leaving myself one left as a treat....

Didn't notice this myself because of case sensitivity, but Alternative Root is getting dropped now because of the 3 songs per game rule. Sorry I didn't catch it before!!

I appreciate if you could give them a listen and a support! Thanks.

Be careful with saying things like this, cause adding things like things is pushing the "no rallying" kind of thing more than just saying "I'm dropping these soon" does. I've been lenient on this not just this year but in past years but I fear it's starting to move towards not acceptable once again lol

These two are getting dropped cause of the 3 song per game limit jsyk

oh my god that was way too close for scrafty, but we'll take being alive

@Neocrimson @MXCM @raidenmon

So, I initially was going to let this go without thinking about it too much, but I have received word that the nominations from these accounts are likely from the same person. While using alts for nominations is not explicity stated in the rules (they are in the voting rules for the contest but I didn't actually think they'd be necessary for nominations lol), it is not allowed for nominations as well.

I looked at archives to see the post history of MXCM and raidenmon and noticed they all tend to post similar or the same votes/responses in topics within a short period of time from each other. This also extends to two other accounts that have yet to post, BSkullX and Scorpionxz. While the timing of posts in this thread have not been out of line, I can't help but notice very obvious timing differences in a number of threads these all have posted in, including the Best Game of 1994 topic literally yesterday where two accounts posted two minutes between each other, and then this morning the two that have not yet posted in this topic did the same. (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80752086) This pattern seems to go back years.

If I am making an error in my belief that these are all coming from one person, I am happy to hear clarification on this whole situation. And even if they are all just your alts I'm still just as happy to keep allowing your participation under just one account as the more people we have the merrier! I just want to make sure people do not get artificial advantage from faking more nomination slots.

For now I will keep the first five nominations in chronological order (because of the 5 songs per series limit), which means these are being kept for now:

+ Mega Man Network Transmission | Zero Gravity Area | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bylo5iC6kkY
+ Mega Man Zero 3 | Cannonball | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqFONBUozrA

i love water types

uh i never make a topic until bracket cause otherwise the important bracket stuff isn't in the topic post lol

and also cause one during nominations would just attract people trying to skirt as close to rallying as they can without doing it

but if one is wanted then i won't complain about one existing right now!

Wily 1 and X vs Zero are on our retired list for their stellar past contest success, and Zero Gravity Area has already been nominated, so you can pick three other songs if you want. I realize I said no supports in the freeze but I guess this is a weird edgecase that I'll accept it lol

Also have new nominations from Geckoeygecko:

+ Arknights | Morning Dew | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU9qCC1dP4Q

+ League of Legends | Pantheon, the Unbreakable Spear | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zub8agQjrw

The listening freeze is now officially in effect! Thank you everyone for your nominations so far!

No supports after this post will be counted until the freeze ends! However, if you are just finding us now and have not made nominations at all yet, you still may nominate up to 5 songs and they will be counted. Otherwise, all activity will not be reflected in spreadsheet updates.

Happy listening!!!!

(Oh also, link updates and what not will also still be counted Ill just be fixing them manually lol)
