Rules:
- Listen to ALL of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

Special rules for the wildcard matches:
- Yes, there are 9 songs.
- You may vote 6 times.
- You may vote a maximum of 3 times for the same song
- The intent is that you will select a +3, a +2, and a +1. This is not mandatory
- DO NOT read the other votes before making (or adjusting) your selection.
- I reserve the right to not count vote changes if I deem them suspicious. If you do change your vote, please be 100% clear in your choice.
- Request: vote in the order the songs are listed (not descending order) to make counting easier

+2 Shop 'til You Drop
+3 Miracle Matter
+1 Cloak of Darkness

So, I've done a fair share of overthinking here. I have a strong feeling that this wildcard showdown will boil down between SnakeEater & Megaraph, two songs I don't particularly care about. Of the two I have a distinct preference towards Megaraph though, and was almost willing to dedicate a decent chunk of my points to it as a result. Then I noticed that this wildcard winner is gonna face off against Alto Endless Desert, and I feel like the wildcard here has a decent shot of winning, moreso than the other wildcards of Division A. Then suddenly my feelings changed, while I would certainly prefer Megaraph wildcard-winning over SnakeEater, if either of them beats AltoEndlessDesert then my disappointment will be more equal, especially if it's the only wildcard "win" in Division A. So, heck that, I've decided I'm just going to go for the 3 songs I particularly care for, and basically, hope for a "Miracle" here.

"defender of dramatic vocals" except actually maybe not because snake eater is here and i'm not supporting itBRING BACK HEAVENS DIVIDE. if it wouldn't lessen the impact I'd go +1 on 6 things here. 6/9 of these things I'd be very very happy advancing. Had to think about this pretty long and hard last night

Honorable mentions (in no order) to:
* Shop 'til You Drop
* In Circles
* Dance With Me
* Eulogia

sorry i did not have enough room to give you points : (

This is legit the hardest day for me. This is a god damn headache and a half as I like all but three songs here today quite a bit.

+2 Fear Not This Night
+1 In Circles
+2 Snake Eater
+1 Cloak of Darkness

F for Dance With Me and Miracle Matter. I wanted to +1 them so badly, but I only had 6 points to go around

This day taught me two things: That I actually still love Snake Eater a lot, and that apparently I think Deoxyribose is winning the A bracket if it only took 2 and a half minutes of the song for me to vote it over SE during my first ever listening of it. Kind of fitting my two +2s lost to it.

Yeah idk. A lot of songs that I'd want to vote for today. One a bit above the rest and then a bunch close to each other in second place, so this is the only way to represent that.

don't really have the time to think hard enough to do proper scoring today (especially since this one's got a fair share of songs i can't make my mind up on that i probably do like but also am not that close to giving points to). probably won't be back to normal for another 2 or 3 days, we'll see...

+1 Shop 'til You Drop
+3 Miracle Matter
+2 Snake Eater

with apologies in probable descending order to in circles, dance with me and eulogia, and well... really, everything except megaraph here actually. again even though i wasn't close to picking any of these snubs i don't necessarily like them that much less

Wow, I pretty much had no idea what I was going to support in advance, except that Snake Eater (and Miracle Matter) s likely getting some points, and absolutely nothing is out of the running! It's one of those days where everything is "good", but nothing "amazing" or "mediocre". Guess I'd better listen to each one carefully!

Fear Not This Night - 6.5
Shop 'til You Drop - 7.0
In Circles- 7.0
Dance With Me - 6.5
Miracle Matter - 7.0
Eulogia - 7.5
Snake Eater - 8.0
Megaraph Fleet - 8.0
Cloak of Darkness - 8.0

Looks like Miracle Matter has kind of shrunk on me. MF, meanwhile, grew on me a lot!

+3 Eulogia
+3 Megaraph Fleet

Was thinking of going 3/2/1 on Eulogia, Megaraph Fleet, and Snake Eater in that order, but I'm not feeling as into Snake Eater now, so I guess I'm fine with doing another 3/3 spread. These are pretty decidedly my top 2 anyway, so I might as well push for one of these to win the wildcard as much as possible.
