Honestly if we take bias towards certain stepping styles as "collusion", where does the line get drawn? Is my opinion that harder charts are more difficult to do well and therefore deserve more points collusion? Is having a bias towards rock music collusion? I don't get it.

Is voting for each other every round (3+ points only, truthfully) enough to account for collusion? YES or NO?

Not really, no.

Approximately nobody asked for this song to be included. Least popular decision by the Japanese since Nintendo released the Wii U.

They also voted for hooky and Pie-kun a similar amount of times. Seems like a classic case of they just have very similar tastes.

Just want to say I'm sorry to Pandemonium X. That Summer Contest turned into this.

For those not in the ZIv discord, XxForCeDnAtuReXx is the one who PMed tak/vaneden and he's now saying:

forcednatureToday at 4:25 PM
let the contest leaders decide this, and rather not us

forcednatureToday at 4:25 PM
I did not decide ANYTHING, nor do I have any impact on their decisions

To elaborate on what tamtamino said, I only tipped off talkion about the mere possiblity of collusion. I did not directly accuse anyone of rigging the system, and truthfully -- I only gave a comment about all of this. I have no power in any of these decisions, nor did I call for a ban or a suspension or anything similiar, also I do not bear any responsibility in this contest in any way, shape or form. Leave me out of this.

The disrespect that the contest leaders have been met with for dealing with this hard & controversial situation is mind-boggling. Really says a lot about certain people.
You know what? I agree. Both the people who accused others of collusion, and the very many more who are angry about this whole accusation business, have to have taken a toll on the officiators.

You know what, this thread's already a disaster so I might as well bring it to the table.

This is Haley's voting sheet. Something that for some reason, she hasn't posted publicly except for the week 1 votes in a separate .docx. Some things of note in Week 2:

Quote: after school NAVIGATORS review
The song destroyed my soul too hard for me to complete it. Chart is good though (I assume).
And then of course, after school NAVIGATORS? You didn't finish the file just because of the song? Why? You're supposed to judge everyone fairly.
Okay, I never said I wasn't the fairest person on Earth. But you have to know that I have a strong visceral aversion to this sort of aidoru music with uguu desu nyaa voices. I pushed myself to make it about halfway through the song, but I had to quit out because I simply could not take any more of the mental torture.

A little anecdote for context: I set out to get 99% on all songs on DANCERUSH STARDOM, but couldn't bear to grind for that on any of the Bitchika corporate mandated loli Ichika songs, so I played other louder songs that share their BPM over my earphones (e.g. A Milli by Lil Wayne for Love Kira Splash, Up All Night by Blink-182 for Midnight WAR). If it's any consolation, I looked through the chart on ArrowVortex afterward with the sound muted.

Quote: Rave ‘til the Earth’s End review
DQ’d for not quoting 4 measures from a BEMANI chart.

I don't know about Rave ‘til the Earth’s End but you could've at least gave feedback.
Okay, this one is just bull. The whole theme of the week was to quote 4 measures from a BEMANI chart. I contacted the charter via ZIv PMs, and they admitted that they weren't aware of that part of the rule. I'm not required to give feedback to officially disqualified entries.

Also, everyone check out my feedback sheet (fittingly titled "Haley's Biased Opinions") if you care about what one snotty Japanese girl says about your file.

I vote for FILES THAT I LIKE. In a contest of around FIFTY PEOPLE there are approximately 10 PEOPLE who make files in a similar style as me. In my OPINIONS, those files are the ones that I LIKE, thus I VOTE for them.

I know everyone's really bitter right now, but I'd still like this simfile contest to finish all the way through, and we can start "fresh" at the next contest when the time comes. I really don't see myself making it into VIP, but I'd feel really dissatisfied if the contest were cut short because of a large amount of chaos. No reason it can't go on.

Fair enough, I guess...

Anyway, at this point I'm just waiting for VanEden to at least publicly acknowledge this drama and defuse all of the bile and vitriol being thrown in all directions (this is also going on in the Rhythm Maniacs Discord). In the contest or not, we're better than this.

Bruh, I too vote for 10 people every week and turns out I voted for 30 people in total. You sure you're good to walk by yourself out of that echo chamber?

I'm not really sure why the total amount of different people you've voted for really matters, but I guess we're pissing in THIS bush now, so fuck it.
