Ah fuck, I just realized I had some eligible videos, one of which was uploaded the same day this was. I know it's a day late, but would you accept an entry nonetheless? Or am I too late?

[KeysofIDproductions]

@pokesonicddrninja If you can upload it today I'll accept it.

[pokesonicddrninja]

@KeysofIDproductions lol, the vid I had in mind was uploaded the same day as this here contest vid :P Is that still acceptable?

[KeysofIDproductions]

@pokesonicddrninja yes :).

Can it be any song or does it have to be VG piece? =o

[KeysofIDproductions]

@mario7mario3 It has to be from a video game past or present, or you can try for bonus points and choose from the list as linked in the description.

By the way, you might want to put the voting round as a response to this video (and change the description) so more people find it.

[pokesonicddrninja]

@KeysofIDproductions awesome

[pokesonicddrninja]

Actually, I'm gonna pull out of this. My schedule is busy as it is, and I need all the time I can get to work on more important things. So feel free to ignore the video response.

[RehdBlob]

Extended deadline = I should be able to enter ...

[pokesonicddrninja]

Methinks the deadline is gonna have to be extended :P

[KeysofIDproductions]

@mario7mario3 After the deadline.

[mario7mario3]

Do we vote after the deadline, or just whenever?

=P

[KeysofIDproductions]

@RehdBlob Unfortunately, no. I'd rather participants be able to make a new by-ear piece and submit it to the contest. If you're strapped for ideas, you can try and go for the bonus points and compose something from the list ;).

[RehdBlob]

What's the date limit for already-uploaded pieces, or are you going to allow those at all?

[pokesonicddrninja]

@KeysofIDproductions yeah, i figured the max would be 2. 2 is always the best for contests, imo

[KeysofIDproductions]

@pokesonicddrninja A reasonable amount would be 2 at the most, considering the amount of time it takes to transcribe by ear for whichever piece you wish to make, not to mention the bonus piece if you wish to attempt it.

Yeah, 2 max should be fine.

[pokesonicddrninja]

Most definitely gonna enter this. Question: What's the limit on number of entries?

[KeysofIDproductions]

@ElectricPopTart18 Yes. You'll vote for your five favourite pieces.

[ElectricPopTart18]

Ooo :-O This is a cool contest idea :-D The way you will be distributing points is also very interesting. I have a question about the Popularity component though. Is that basically like a voting round for the public where they name their favorites, or something else?
