Cloyenne 10/29/18 6:37:09 PM #1:	Attempting an ongoing VGMrelated task of casual proportions, having enjoyed similar threads here recently. The premise Each user can nominate one game in the 2D sidescroller/platform genre. As defined, Super Mario Bros. would be an example of an archetypal candidate, but many subgenres and deviations from the basic formula will also be accepted. Nominations are subject to my capricious tendencies and may be rejected or tabled for any reason. For each approved game, I will conscientiously rank each track from favorite to least favorite and assign the OST an overall score from 0100. There will probably be no writeups involved, though dont rule out the possibility of the occasional thrilling remark! Additionally, each track will receive a letter grade of S, A, B, C, or E. There are no Fs in VGM, and there probably arent any Ds eitherthats how good all of it is. The Etier is reserved for OSTs with tracks devoted to quick jingles, samples, sound effects, etc. E for effect! An Eseeming track may be promoted to a higher tier if its particularly important. Whether I include the short stuff will be determined casebycase. The letter grade/tier structure will provide an avenue for comparing/ordering favorite tracks across multiple games, though I have no immediate plans to do that. If, somehow, other users want to play along by providing their own rankings, thats encouraged. I only ask that you wait until Ive posted my ranking for a particular game as to shield me from influence. Its not a big deal, though. Also this might take me a deceptively long time. Spreadsheet link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11iJ-2-VgEujoQtpwO4fTWeDeMHobJr_rYbPgFneSzSk/ Hopefully this works. Rules for nomination To start this off, Im asking for 10 games. One nomination per user, no alts. The OSTs must be reasonably accessible with established, discrete tracks. Once 10 games are approved, nominations will close until all ten have been completely ranked and posted to the spreadsheet. When/if the nominations open again, the rules will be slightly different. I am implementing a quota system at the beginning in an attempt to skew the games toward the eras that I favor. Of the first ten games: - At least 8 must have been originally released prior to 2009. - At least 6 must be from before 1999. - At least 4 must have been released between 19831998. Anything earlier than 1983 is ineligible. Legal disclaimer Thanks for reading. --- Q: What's the difference between an actor and a baker? A: An actor has roles, a baker has rolls.

-hotdogturtle-- 10/30/18 2:49:46 AM #14:	The licensed songs are part of the appeal of the overall soundtrack for sure. I found a different playlist that has longer versions of the interactive music with more variations, do you want that instead? I'm not sure how you'd even rank that music based on your guidelines. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what?

I messed up the cutoff years in the original post but it shouldn't affect anything.) In all likelihood this topic will purge before the next substantial update, which will probably be in like 2 weeks. --- Q: What's the difference between an actor and a baker?
