Z-I-v Battle Royale 2017

Might as well follow them since no one can vote for more than 5 files as well, right?

---

What is wrong with changing votes? I don't see a single problem with it, unless people are changing them at the last minute.

When I wanted to shift a point to Pandemonium's TAIYOU SUN SUN file back in Tournament of Immortals 6, Lisek stated:


And he has a point about it causing drama, like, for instance...

I don't think the vote switch would have caused any drama had Feraligatr changed his vote to anything other than Star Trail.
Under normal circumstances I don't think there's anything wrong with switching votes, here it's just kind of... IDK.

---

I do hope it makes it out of the top 23 though.

Cuzco, what the fuck. You're not allowed to do that, seriously. :/

---

Changing votes when other people have voted after you could get really annoying, since you'd have to go back in the thread to double-check that person's original votes to make sure the points still match up

Because this rule wasn't present in recent contests and wasn't marked as "new" like other new rules have been.

For reference, the rule wasn't present in:
Simfile Shuffle 2016

Summer Contest 2016

Tournament of Immortals 6

Simfile Shuffle 2015

So there is a real reason why people are confused. I think that this is a major overlook by Pandy (not including NEW like in all other new entries nor bolding it out). Also I don't remember any contest that allowed you to give more than 5 points in voting (BR2017 allows it).

There has been other problems with this contest like the rules about min. 20 points to vote and requirement to vote. And changing votes - that has never been allowed and I have no slight idea why suddenly this is allowed here.

Point totals are still wrong...

"Brain Power [...] The use of hands [...]"

boi

---

I'm more concerned for this gem:



But yes, Brain Power's "hands" intend you to hit the "jumps" in the freezes with one foot.

Not everybody can hit two sensors with the same foot, especially depending on the pad. And on keyboard, which a majority of voters play on, it would be much harder to hit both keys with one finger.

That's a keyboard player's issue. And if your pad is anything other than complete garbage, it isn't that difficult to bracket stomp.

---

Well, I will just say the idea was unique, but it just wasn't my thing. I don't necessarily think it was a bad thing, but I just didn't like it.
