Whoops realized I mistitled Unlucky Morpheus' Knight of Sword as Light of Sword. Brain was still thinking of Light Bringer.

Found it; "The Beat Goes On / Switching to Glide" didn't get to added to the YouTube Playlist. Current total stands at 178.

And that gets us to 200/200! Yaaayyy!!!

...and while I really want to make an exception and let a few people keep nominating, I fear the topic spiraling out of control. You let DireKrow add more since they were the first and only person to be openly disappointed by the limit (and I owe them for ranking all of my songs at their ranking topic), then you have to let Mega Man who was a supporter early on and had trouble deciding on a full list get at least five more, and there's the always supportive Se7en... so, with my deepest apologies, I'm just going to lock the nominations here.

I'll keep posting daily progress updates and will tag everyone once the rankings are ready to be posted, which will obviously be a while.
---

Don't worry about me. I've got nothing =P
---

oh wait you prefer origin to say the composer?

should I edit the posts or say the composers here?

also can I change a nomination because I suck?

I dont really care what Origin says (some like Mentos and DAGOTHWAVE are entirely blank), its just something to help keep track of different songs with the same name... though I dont think that came up anyway.

Also, I havent gotten to your songs yet, so go ahead and change whatever.

Just seeing this topic for the first time people because in Discord were talking about it. Not once did I notice it on the front page.

Is it a b8 discord of something? Wasn't aware of it

Just seeing this topic for the first time people because in Discord were talking about it. Not once did I notice it on the front page.

...Heke? Surprised this little experiment is generating any sort of discussion and I'm not entirely sure how to react, honestly.

Aaaanywho, I can't really offer you the full 10 nominations, because I want to make sure this stays at a level I'm comfortable with... but you could have two or three, if you wanted? Two would only be a 1% increase in nominations, which is perfectly doable. Three gives you as many noms as Anagram, could be interesting to see how the two of you compare directly.

Of course, you don't have to nominate anything. I just feel slightly indebted to you? The Reverse Ranking topic helped convince me that I still wanted to rank songs (and it also led me to find one song that I unexpectedly loved).

The nomination period of the big VGM tournament gave me a chance to listen to a large number of noms and make sure that I could keep up with everything. Without those two topics, I'm not sure I'd have had the nerve to try this at all... so, while you're not as directly influential to the topic as Se7en, you're actually still owed a lot of credit. So... if you wanted to throw in a nomination or three that would actually be really, really neat!

Though of course I'm quite happy with the 200, so, your call. (There's also the rather high chance you don't check the topic again and I'm just talking at myself, which is also fine. I like talking to myself. </.<)



PROGRESS: All songs up through post #50 have been listened to at least once.

It is. The VGM crowd was talking about it. Probably no other group in the discord would even notice.

Thank you, but I'll pass. I know what it's like to do a ranking topic. I'll let you stick to your even number. Especially since, as you say, it opens the door for others. Just disappointed, but I don't have anything specific I want to nominate.

i'll give up 2 of my later noms provided they have not been listened to yet

Presuming he takes you up on the offer, which two were you thinking of removing?

Silversun & Rina

3rd and 4th links

@azuarc

Well, uh, okay...I was going to just take a full pass since I didn't have anything I specifically wanted to nominate. I was just kind of expressing frustration at missing the topic. But now I feel like it would be ungrateful to back out, so how a couple old .mod files for something different?

I wish I could find Masquerade, but the only place it seems to exist online is in .s3m format and I don't care enough to find a way to upload it myself.
---

Then it is done; two songs removed from the YouTube playlist, two more added in. And with that, I have now officially listened to all 200 songs at least once! I've used random.org to shuffle the order of nominations around and will now be going through them all a second time, blah blah blah.
---

What? I don't get 5 more nominations!?!?! That's total bulls***!

Joking of course. I totally understand your interest in keeping a smaller list on your first solo ranking. Glad you got a full list finally though. :P
---

Progress (Second Listens): 60/200
---

can i nominate still or too late
---

Too late, unfortunately ; I'm almost halfway through my second trip through all the nominations (just got through the 80th song, should reach the halfway point by this evening) and adding more songs this late in the game would likely complicate matters, as I've been working on the assumption that the list itself was finalized and I that I just had to arrange what was there.
---

Up to 110 at the moment.
---

160/200

Had a lot of time today, @.@
---

Second trip through cleared.

Whoo.
---

whoa

Made a rough version of the ranking, going through and listening to everything again as I do the write-ups... songs are still being moved up and down the list, obviously, but I have enough data to start actually placing songs and doing write-ups.

10/200 songs finished.
---

Sweet. Looking forward to the ranking!
---

25/200. Not as much progress as I would have liked, but a lot of songs in this block kept getting shuffled around and it took me a while to slot a few of them in.
---

35-ish. Didnt get too far today, for reasons I dont want to get into.

No problem. I can tell you from experience that things happen. Progress is always progress though so any little bit is still good news.

Keep up the great work though. I am positive that this will not be disappointing in the least no matter how long it takes!

(Gonna try to push through some rankings in my topic tonight myself. Been like 4 or 5 days since I've dropped a ranking...)
---

Thanks for the support;

45/200 now, had a late start.
---

60/200

Otherwise known as 30% finished.
---

77/200.

Taking a break, may try to get three more in before bed just to reach an even number.
---

but 77 is the product of two primes
---

If this topic had been just a few days later, I'd have had two more songs to nominate. This is the grandest tragedy of our time.

Considering how eclectic your first three picks were, Im curious what you would have done with more picks.

80/200.

Ill make a note of that. Wont actually rank it, but Ill at least listen to it later.

101/200. I lost count and went one over, but were past the halfway point now.

120/200.

Progress.
