Z-I-v Summer Contest 2016

Sorry to meddle in, but since when is this a rule? I remember quite a few times when people didn't add points in and just others followed by adding their own totals.

I don't remember other people adding others points.

It's lazy. If you had gone on to play the simfiles and even had time to figure out what points to give to what, then at least take the last few seconds to add them up to a list, right?

Pandykins, ddrstepper is awol. What do?

[Free Week II; The Free Weekening].

---

Set it to free week just to fuck with people.

I'm leaving it to Pandy or ddrstepper to return. I don't want to hog the theme week ideas, though you were all mostly pleased by Combine Week.


Didn't know people would be upset about free week, so I'm kind of avoiding that option.

If they are both not able to respond by tomorrow, then I'll be open to suggestions on what week idea you guys had in mind. Fair enough?

What Quickman said? (Long Version Week. Step something over 2:30.)

Love Week? (Something related to romantic events, complimenting Passport and Food Week)

SEGA/Nintendo/etc. Week? (Step something from a well-known game company. It has to be one, which one it is is up to the host.

SC2010 Week? (History. Restep something from the very first SC. Learn how things were back then.)

DDR Restep Week? (Step a song from DDR that you think really needs it.)

What I proposed earlier? (Step a song with at least one change in key.)

Possibly others... I don't know.

Long Versions Week - Personally I don't like this idea. I like my pad files to stay under 2:30.

SC2010 Week - I had a similar-ish idea I was going to call Deja Vu week which would either have been "Step a song from a previous round of Summer Contest 2016" or "Step a song that placed in the Top 3 of any previous Summer Contest".

Just to throw in my own crappy suggestion, [Short Title] - Song title can't be longer than 10 characters.

---

I need clarification... so something like "Seven". Does the subtitle have to count (so not "Seven (feat. Max)", but "Seven (TK)")?

I would say yes the subtitle counts, so "Seven (feat. Max)" wouldn't count but "Seven (TK)" is fine since it's 10 characters on the dot (also for clarification, spaces count) (also also 10 is just a number I grabbed out of thin air, it could be extended if 10 is too small)

---

Oh goodness, I thought of something.

Mystery Week.

The theme can be something lenient (such as Male Vocalists), but it's kept secret until the voting starts and you have to use your gut in figuring out which song will match the week.

As a mercy rule, and to avoid having people complain that their file they spent a week on got DQ's because they didn't even know the theme at all, up to 3 clues about the theme's requirements can be given out as the week goes on.

Or long version week

---

Can I bring up an idea I had when I was in 2nd during Voiceless Week?

[Remix Week]
Your song choice must be a remix of another song. You must also have proof that your song is a remix and not the original version. Any cover or arrangement is also legal, but again- you must prove that it is an arrangement.

TIC TAC TOE, THREE FIFTHS IN A ROW

I guess I'll throw in my two cents here in too by showing what I would have submitted if I had won [Voiceless Week]:

[Reverse Scrabble]: Like last year's [Scrabble] theme, except the title has to score at most 20 points rather than at least 20 points.

---

Just to clarify, there is no theme yet, so don't work on simfiles yet unless you are a sadistic son of a gun.

The votes of last week are in.



You can all start voting for [Combine Week] in the mean time as well as throw in ideas in case pandy and ddrstepper don't show up.
Apologies in advance for them having school and life to take care of.

I'm agree with this ones
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My suggestion for a theme of the week would be ...

[Soundtrack Week]

Step a song that is part of a soundtrack of any serie / TV show / movie / videogame. It may seem a little easy but I don't know, it depends on each person.

---

I was thinking maybe a week where we have to step a song from a rhythm game that's not a bemani one.
