As for the time allotments, it's apart of the contest, I can make exceptions, but I'd like short songs so it's to the point so that we can make a clear decision.

I can understand the short point stuff, I wouldnt intend to throw any 4-5 min songs at you. I'll try to make it close to 2 but it will probably end up closer to 3 min.

Awesome. I should visit the forums more often if stuff like this goes on.

Count me in!

Oh yeah, a question for you (anyone that can answer): Is the rating system going to be all, technical and stuff? I mean, are the tracks going to be rated by Quality, Originality, use of instruments, depth, rhythm and such; some weighted more than others? Or is it going to be more simple with just a grade on them?

No worries if you don't really know. I don't even really care. I was just curious is all.

I'd use an in depth rating system just like that so it can be detailed to the artists if they didn't win.

just remember TenchuX - ORIGINALS - or remixes of ORIGINALS you have done. No video game remixes.

One Song, original or remix of one of your previous songs.
1 to 2 minutes in length.
No general genre or theme you need to follow. <== I concider VG music a genre

In my opinion remix's of game music are original as long as they do not conform to the same exact melody. I have previous VG songs I have yet to put on NG also that I could remix. He did say any genre and I allready started working on the song 2 days ago..its a videgame remix. If Erkie, who is in charge of this contest would like to ban the use of any videogameish songs he should say something soon so that I dont put all my effort into nothing. So Erkie if you have anything against the use of videogame remix's please say something and I guess I'll drop the song I'm on and make a new one. No heard feelings either way I just wana know lol because that was made unclear I guess.

VG is, yes, in fact a genre, but note I said original, it has to be your own video game song, which seems to be just as you planned.
