Here he comes with a great idea of making a BATTLE (note; it never said song contest, it said BATTLE. There are slight differences, the way I see it), and what happenes?
There are like 12 submission (or something) from different artists.
But these "battlers" seem to take things waaaaay too serious. Instead of whta I think Erkie meant with the battle, ppl get pissed on each other for different stupid reasons. All of this because of a "battle". this aint (as far as im concerned?!) an official competition at all, its simply a fun thing for anyone who wanna get their songs listened too and judged by amateur judges.

So plz, take the battle for what it was, and chill the fuck out. Nothing have changed after the judges had done their parts, your songs still sound the same, there never were any big money or land involved in the prices, some ppl might have thought that they´d get the princess if winning, though...

I feel sorry for Erkie, that there are difficult people who messes about and takes out the spirit of the whole thing by complaining, "fighting", and just being straight out assholes. There are positive things though, i´ve seen you´ve gotten much feedback of how to imrpove this contest. That is, if u´re willing to make a sequel.
I hope u do, cause the basic idea´s a fun thing that might push ppl and make em improve their skills.

Oh well, whatever. I´m done.

Well, in a battle there aren't 10 way ties out of 14 peopel with a score of 8. Also, and I'm not trying to be mean to Erkie, but his I don't care/I don't take it serious feelings isn't the right type of attitude needed to run this kind of thing. As Static said earlier, if you want your songs reviewd thats why songs have a review button on the Audio Portal. You dont need something like this for that. I gather that people would like to actaully get a score, and thats why I made the point system similar to what Dwelling of Duels has. Most human nature is to be competative, thats why having top 3 place winners is nice. Most people wouldnt compete in MLB or the NFL if they didn't get a record for how they performed (score) or get to go to the superbowl/world series (placed finish). Also, from what Erkie said to begin this "Battle" as you put it was that the winner/winner's would get a prize or something of that nature and YOU SAID above there was no prizes....well involving a prize turns it into a contest (I didnt see people whining about getting a prize, but placement is importiant). While I'm not offering any points in the peer 2 peer voting thing, it's nice to be able to say "I got 2nd place" or something of that nature. Even of you dont get in the top 3 you can always get there the next time...if there is a next time lol. Also, I heard that the judges in this contest were people who submitted songs and just judged other peoples songs individually. If thats the case there was never a fair opinion or score handed out through the entire odeal. These are all just my opinions though, and yes I write big paragraphs.

time for a new contest go check the audio joint for more details.

I ment Sonic not Static. typo, sry about that.

I didnt write that insult. Prob my room mate when I left my account logged on decided to pull something. Sorry about that, your response is rather funny though.

You dont need to go into calling me names like mr pooper, I appologized for that review as it was under my account name. Chronamut mentioned this in the Abusive Review thread.

damn me and my careless errors.

Just let this thread die already...

I haven't given up. I will do BotAP v2 when I get time, soon.

McPooner, I appreciate you reconciling the previous competition, but I find it hard to believe out of all people your hacker found CHRONAMUT, and his BOTAP submission.

You won't get this done by pulling yourself to their level. Pull your shit together and get this done. Or get out of BotAP altogether.

.....Erkie, you need to learn to read before you start rambling about things that make no sense. #1 I never once talked about a hacker, #2 the review was not on his BOTAP submission it was on some other song and it was my room mate who did that, as he told me this morning he was "having fun" and god knows if he did a review like that to someone else. If there was someone else who had that happen to them I appologize as I allready have done for Chronamut, who did not deserve that review. #3 If what I said had nothing to do with what you are getting at, then I don't have a clue what you could be talking about and as such it probably means you dont know whats going on. Also, saying im going down to their level sort of confuses me as it somewhat implys that they are all at a low level? You have really not done much for BoTaP other than make a big mess by your lack of comitment which in turn has caused flaming and reps to get ruined, I am organizing the mess. If you have been reading the Audio Board you would have seen that I allready set up the entire peer 2 peer voting system (all listed with rules and guidlines which have been followed by everyone perfecly and thus far made a very orderly process) and have had 7 people reply with links to their song allready. That would be 1/2 of all the people who submitted to this contest so far. Please don't give me crap when I am actually doing something to help the situation rather than saying I give up and I dont take it serious. You are probably mad at me because I have done this take over, but you yourself said if someone could do it better to do it, and that is exacly what I have done thus far via a placement process. TY

It would be wise to let this thread die, other than questions pertaining to the peer 2 peer voting that is taking place till 10PM Tuesday night.

I'll admit a miscommunication on my part on the chronamut situation.

But only you assumed they were on a low level, they are on a level of perplexation, you lead the contest and hold the information they do not know, so don't try to bicker at them.

Reputations were not ruined and neither was the "contest", only the people who took it seriously made a big deal out of it.

The only thing you've taken over is fixing the old contest, NOT making a new one. With new songs. Which is something you will not do with the BOTAP title on it.

Here's a hot tip, they're called paragraphs, it really helps to read when you have spaces between new sentences and points.

We can discuss this over E-Mail, Dumpdove@hotmail.com.

I honestly have no clue what your talking about with Chronamut then....in addition what you said about low level sounded like you were talking about a lot of people. You in turn flip it and make it look like I said that. I never said I was going to make another BOTAP contest, if people wanted me to make another music contest I'd be happy to set up a very orderly, fair and simple one with a toally different name. Also, I'm 5 years older than you and an A student in college so dont talk to me about paragraphs. In addition, I am not going to waist my day talking to you over email when there is no reason to. I am only fixing up what you gave up on so some people who put lots of effort and time into their songs and expected a placement system can have that. It's up to them if they ever want me to set up another contest as I stated above. Now please Erkie, no more about this contest as it is going to be over via the peer 2 peer on Tuesday night. You are welcome to make another BOTAP, I dont have any problems with it, you just might not get a lot of participents.

i was kidding dude you don have to go fukin insane.
do you really think im a dickhead?

it wasnt a friendly challange it was a joke, you know, people do that every now and then.
and the spelling of it goes to prove it was a joke, j00 means you, and its called leet speak (elite speak) which is an internet "language"

I don't care about your college experience. If there's a freakin' problem then there's a freakin' problem.

No, I think there'll be plenty of people on the next BotAP.

Thanks.

I'm with any responses in this thread unless it pertains to the peer 2 peer voting, so that gives people a cheap shot on me I guess because I wont reply to negative things said.

Im going to be blunt and honest about everything I say here. I really have not said much about this entire thing, but I really thing MrMcPooner has helped in a very calm and adult manor for the most part in his attempt to get people ranked. I did this contest simply for the competition aspect and not to get a review. There has been far to much immaturity, hating and flaming amongst the people in here. It would take a tremendous amount of change to get me into the next BotAP. Good luck on working everything out though.

i read alotta this thread an this is like internet drama....

i think we are all above all that....

psybot jus so its clear i was kidding with u, good song

extracy i know ur a good artist, i was kidding too, sorry if it didnt seem that way, but damn i joke all the time, does everyone jus think im a dickhead or can they tell? lol

and mrmcpooner (sry if i got the name wrong) i didnt mean to be so rude, i jus thought erkie was giving his best u know an it was a cool idea. then you came in and blah blah who cares its over newayz.

Sorry dude, but to me that 1337 shit is trash talk and not good humor! I'm well aware (or was hoping so) that it was just a friendly challenge, or joke, they're the same thing in this case. I never called you a dickhead. I just really don't see the point of making your words longer. That fad is over, gone! I like your music, man... I just kind of flipped out when you wrote that "pwnz j00" message cause it made your whole persona look stupid.

-Extracy-

the drama attracts no-one but those able to afford popcorn and sit and watch shit unravel.
and i know because in real life, everybody makes me out to be the drama king and i don't even say shit. must be because it's all behind-the-scenes.

L33T and shit went out a while ago from most chat conversations, easy. it's fun to see it in animation movies and whatnot, but it really was only a language that was well worth the time between 1998-2002. it died slowly in vain for most people.

truth be told truth be cold.

Everything seems to be calming down and straitening out.

Let's all just enjoy some titties.

me n my friends joke in leet all the time, be glad i jus said j00 thats only 1 word.
