How are there so many whiny bitches in this thread? How can anyone make an assumption as to people's motives in nominating a soundtrack? and why can't people ever just let the person running the show do their thing and just contribute to the tournaments in the capacity they would like to?
yeah these same people already let John Coltrane get cheated by two schmucks (in comparison) due to a tourney admin decision to revise the rules at the last moment. leave Cube be.

It's a bit of fun on an internet forum not the final decision as to who is the best solo artist of all time.
I'm not complaining personally, it would just be lame for us to go through all this trouble and then have barely anyone vote, you know. It has happened before. I'm still super interested in this tournament and I think CubaZed is doing an awesome job.

If you've got complaints about the Solo Artist tourney, I believe the Solo Artist tourney thread is the place to make any complaints.

Exactly. I'm interested in the tournament, but 96 soundtracks is an awful lot. If a lot of people feel that way, I think it's better that they say so rather than let Cuba find out when the tournament starts. It's not a criticism of him at all -- he can't know how people feel unless they speak up.

:oops: My apologies to everyone. I was trying to maintain a sort of fairness and balance but when more people kept nominating I thought I might as well keep it open instead of taking some of the partisanship out of it. I'm going to leave it be and keep the 96 because I've complicated this enough but I'm terribly sorry.
Please, you have nothing to apologize for. Sorry if my feedback came off as too critical.

Right. 96 soundtracks is way too many to reasonably process in a short term. I don't think I've listened to 96 soundtracks in my entire life never mind in a couple of months. This tourney will have TWICE the number of albums than what were in the 1500+ tourney yet focuses on ONE very specific format.
In the future, for such a niche category, I would suggest allowing only ONE nomination per user. I'm pretty sure a smaller field of albums will paradoxically produce more participation. A field of 96 is simply overwhelming. My brain shuts down just thinking about it. LOL.

I've voiced them there. I'm not someone to be incredibly offended personally by a forum game; merely stating that those who were coming off as such in this thread were doing so in contradiction to their former attitudes and standards for a tourney admin sticking to the original plan.
