How regular is it? Like... do they never vote when they enter? And if that's the case, how often has it happened?

I would say there needs to be a cap before a perma-ban. Either you want to take part, or you don't.

If your only reason for entering is to share your music taste, but not listen to others... well those people can click on my signature now instead.

How about we quantify who's more surprised than others at the outcome?

SHEEPLE

Equinox
pickemgenius
|
|
ceejayvinoya
|
Vi
|
Tammy
[3/4 sheep]

Aristophanes
Natirasha
Empire
Panzerjager
Xtoxm = T-Bone
PranaDevil
InflatablePie
VashtaNeurotic
|
toolenduso
Scigatt = popsofctown
[Midpoint aka Keke]

schadd_
|
|
|
davsto
MiniDeathStar
|
[3/4 snowflake]

Plotinus
|
Errantparabola
|
|
|
Dr Easy Bake
SNOWFLAKE


cjv was the only person whose picks were all within 10 places of where they ended up, but Equinox and peg were both no more than 1 place off on five of their picks.

---

And reciprocated likes?

TEAM ART PICKS: Plotinus <-> Dr Easy Bake
TEAM NOT JUST SHEEPING TOGETHER: Xtoxm <-> T-Bone
TEAM RECURSION: Empire <-> Panzerjager <-> Errantparabola <-> schadd_ <-> Empire
SPECIAL! THE BEST LAVA! Errantparabola <-> toolenduso AND, reaching into fourth pick, Errantparabola <-> Natirasha

It's pretty standard. The last time they openly said they weren't going to vote and submitted a troll entry.

Now I have to think of a way to pander for Vi's 12 again. I have an idea.
I am interested in this product or service.
I was gonna use a song by half.alive but they've already been entered and have won. Going to have to rethink this.

Spoiler: Would have been this one
I can see why you came to this conclusion, but this isn't quite the right direction. You can do it though :D

Literally everytime, on top of being annoying in general (asking people to listen to multiple songs in thread, etc). They don't want to play the game, they want us to tell them how great their taste in music is w/o any reciprocation to the whole song circle jerk. Nobody likes someone who doesn't reciprocate.

Yeah, sounds like they should be perma-banned. If you want to enter a song, you need to play the game.

It sounds like listening to other people's submissions is important to you, would that be correct?

Cause if that's the case then it's even more laughable that you called for me to be banned.

Multiple people this round said they weren't even going to listen to my submission for one reason or another. Cool. So what do I have to lose when my song isn't going to get points because people won't even listen to it.

What fun am I going to have being judged for picking that song, and then I have to smile and listen to their songs and treat them with respect. Fuck that.

It sucks that my vote was counted too. Nati had my 12 slot and would have won. Nati also had every vote of mine so...

As a 20% stake holder in your points (pre-penalty), I am sad to hear this. I hope you will consider returning in the future, after this bitterness wears down some perhaps.

I know it's late at night and my eyes take their leave around this time, but two passes through the thread show one person who fits this description (Natirasha). Who were the others?

o!!!
I actually rated this high enough (on my private rating system, where I don't have a quota per contest that needs to hit this bar) then I won't delete it from my hard drive now that the contest is over. The background music and the sounds in the outro are distressingly disorienting and unpredictable but in a way that emphasizes and enhances the emotions and message of the song.
The failure mode of clever is asshole.

I call for you to be banned because you don't participate, at all, from what has been said. Submitting a song is literally half of the task. If you then refuse to listen to ANY of the music... you're just being an asshole, and deliberately so, and have no excuse for it.

This is the funniest part to me. You are clearly confusing me with vizIIsto in the post above, while somehow understood what was going on in this post:

From the time I have started entering into these contests I have listened to every single entry. From the weeb shit, to indie shit, underground rap shit, black death viking metal, and so much fucking k-pop, but I listened to it all because thats what this is.

When enough people tell you outright that you don't have a chance because they prejudged your song and wont even listen to it, its disheartening, especially when I have voted in every contest prior.

So when you wanna shit on someone figure out what the fuck you're talking about before the words the come out of your mouth make you not only look like an asshole but a stupid one as well.

The guys who wanna bitch and moan about me not voting correctly are probably the same people who looked at Kaepernicks protest and ignored what he did it for entirely.

You're right, the song contest is to listen to songs, so Prana, how do you feel about others openly admitting to not listening to at least 1 entry?

People are focused on me and my protest vote, yet no one gives a shit what I was upset about.

Then Prana tries to rip me a new one by saying i should be banned for not listening to songs, when I didnt listen to the songs because other people had already said they werent listening to mine.

So he's mad at me, for what I'm upset at others about, but instead of sharing my sentiment, he's upset with me. If thats not a clear enough correlation between the two situations then i dunno what else could be. I'm not saying that this is black lives matter, just that your ignoring the source and getting upset with the person who feels like they had to do that to get heard.

But you know, keep on keeping them down, right?

Yep, I confused you with the other idiot as I'd just woken up.

One person chose not to listen to your song, so you threw a tantrum. Grow the fuck up.
