[SeattleVertigo]

Congrats everybody, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to so much diverse and interesting music. Thanks!

 

[Zoots]

Thanks to the critics for the picks. I did enjoy this competition too. The best part was getting exposed to a whole bunch of new music!

 

[LMP]

Can we call these the Screwtape Awards?

 

[Canadiens1131]

I still had the best covers in my never-accepted two-disc, dance-oriented submission.

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

Congrats to everybody!

 

[phanan]

Can we call these the Screwtape Awards?

Yeah, interesting results.

 

[phillyfan26]

I think the e-mail may have been rigged. I'm investigating. The investigation shall henceforth be known as the Screwtape Letters.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

wow, i placed third for most unique and best songs! i didn't expect to place at all.

 

[LJT]

Can we call these the Screwtape Awards?

I don't know how Screwtape hasn't won this thing yet...he did best in the awards last time to...surely if all the awards were combined we would have to conclude his playlist was the best...yet it does not win...puzzling

 

[angelordevil]

Congrats everyone!

I'll kick your arses next time!!

 

[Screwtape2]

I think the e-mail may have been rigged. I'm investigating. The investigation shall henceforth be known as the Screwtape Letters.

I'm going to have to have someone else do the awards before people start thinking they are rigged. Believe me when I say I was more surprised than anyone else.

I don't know how Screwtape hasn't won this thing yet...he did best in the awards last time to...surely if all the awards were combined we would have to conclude his playlist was the best...yet it does not win...puzzling

There was only a certain number of people involved with these awards - not everyone who participated in the game and voted in the polls did them, so there's the major reason for the difference.

 

[phillyfan26]

I keed. I keed. I absolutely believe it - your playlist was great.

I just think a lot of people who vote in the polls don't listen to the playlists, but the critics do, and that's where the differences come from.

 

[Screwtape2]

I just think a lot of people who vote in the polls don't listen to the playlists, but the critics do, and that's where the differences come from.

I think that is a big part. Hopefully, the covers and concepts in the Symphonic Album Game will get more people to listen.

 

[phanan]

I would disagree with that assessment this time around. We typically had around 15-25 votes in each heat, and there were 19 people involved in the game, plus a few others listened.

I think the voting reflects everyone's opinion who listened, while the awards are from a select few, or several (I can't remember how many were involved off the top of my head).

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

Yay, I finally won something!

But that makes me wonder, was it too diverse?

It definitely was a better turnout this time than before in the real listener: voter ratio. Congrats to everyone who participated and thank you very much for exposing me to some new music. I was jonesing for some more.

I was one of the critics, btw.

(Meg'sLegs, check your mail.)

 

[corianderstem]

This was fun. Thanks to the organizers!

 

[LJT]

I know...but Screwtape did perform quite well in the previous awards to...and those were open to everyone to vote in weren't they?

I'm not suggesting any actual conspiracy though...I am just quite surprised Screwy has not won yet!

 

[Axver]

No, the last Critics Choice was actually more closed. The only voters were the contestants. This time, anyone could be a critic if they signed up.

 

[LJT]

Was there not less critics this time though? I thought more people voted last time round?

Ahh well congrats to all the winners

 

[Screwtape2]

In any case, we should have more critics.

If you want to be a critic in the next game say so in the Album Game thread. Let your voice be heard.

 

[Axver]

Was there not less critics this time though? I thought more people voted last time round?

Ahh well congrats to all the winners

Yeah, there were less critics this time. I think that was simply because the requests for critics got lost in threads.

 

[Screwtape2]

Yeah, there were less critics this time. I think that was simply because the requests for critics got lost in threads.

Yep. I'd like 10-15 critics to be honest. I don't understand why people don't do it. It is so easy.

 

[LJT]

I would have volunteered but I thought you guys were limiting the critics to 10!

 

[Screwtape2]

I would have volunteered but I thought you guys were limiting the critics to 10!

Sorry. We never reached ten people by the way.

 

[LemonMelon]

Can we call these the Screwtape Awards?

Well, I guess it's better than the Axver Awards, which is what I was expecting.

Damn Pla for getting the song award.

 

[Tiger Edge]

Damn Pla for getting the song award.

Ya know, I can't tell if you are just facetious all the time or you are just extremely bitter about everything.

 

[LemonMelon]

Ya know, I can't tell if you are just facetious all the time or you are just extremely bitter about everything.

The first one.
