[2018 Holiday Postcards]

2018 Holiday Postcards

Still not sure how many people here would be able to participate, but it was a lot of fun the last time we did it so I'm excited to try again!

For all those unfamiliar with the process, here's a rundown:

• Sign up to be part of this year's holiday postcard exchange with a reply to this thread
  • If you're wary about sharing out your address, you can choose to simply send out cards with only your name on it.
  • Of course, you wouldn't be able to recieve cards yourself if you don't put your address out, but if you'd still like to participate from the giving end at least, then that's always an option.
• PM me your address (either on the forums or Discord)
• On Dec 1, I will send out a list of addresses to every participant
• Mail out postcards by the dates below (...or if you can't send them by those dates, just write them off as New Year's cards instead)
  • The title of the thread says postcards, but you can really send anything you feel like sending. No need to hold back!
  • Please send me money.
• Wait anxiously for mail from all your favorite pals here at NSM
• Recieve said mail. Either be very happy or very disappointed. Hopefully you'll be mostly happy, but it's not like I can tell you how to feel.

DEADLINES:

• Signup End: by 23:59 PST on November 30th.
• Mail Internationally: by December 5th
• Mail Domestically: by December 12th

PARTICIPANTS:

[What are "NSM Performance Videos"?]

What are "NSM Performance Videos"?

• To help give exposure to all the talented pianists in the VGM community, we will be creating YouTube playlists of people performing our sheets and posting them in a news post on the main site. If you want to see your own cover featured on the main site, we welcome you to submit them!
  

How do I my submit videos to be included in these playlists?

• Create your own topic in the NSM Performance Videos thread, and post links to your videos there! There is no limit to how many videos you can submit.
• Make sure to title your topic "[Name]'s Performance Submissions" so we know where to look! If your topic is not named in this format, we will not consider your videos for our playlists.

How many videos will be in each update?

• We are aiming to have about 10 videos in each update. We will include no more than 3 videos from a single person in each playlist, to give more people a chance to shine.

How often will these playlists be updated?

• We don't have a set schedule yet, as that will depend on how many submissions we get. We are currently aiming for at least one update per month.

What kind of videos are allowed?

• There are a few guidelines your submission must meet in order to be included in an NSM Performance Video playlist:

• The cover must be played on a piano.
• The arrangement must be played from (or based on) a sheet hosted on NSM.
• To make the sheets easy to find, please include the following in in the title or description of your video(s):
  
  • The song title as it appears on site
  • The game title as it appears on site
  • The arranger's name
• The video(s) you submit must be of your own performance(s); You may not submit videos of another person's performances (Although you're encouraged to have them post their videos here themselves!)
• Please post links to specific videos, not just a channel link. We need to know which videos we have permission to include in these playlists.
• Old and new covers are both welcome.

• It does not matter how good you are at piano, and perfection is not a requirement. Whether you are a YouTube/piano veteran or just starting out, we welcome and value your submissions just the same!

Why is my video not included?

• It could either be in a backlog for the next update, or your submission may not have met the guidelines as outlined above. This includes old submissions. If this is the case for you, please edit your submission to meet the guidelines and notify me so I can add it to the next update.

"Superlative performance is really a confluence of dozens of small skills or activities, each one learned or stumbled upon, which have been carefully drilled into habit and then are fitted together in a synthesized whole.

This is very rough, will fix it up later because I don't have time to right now. Just need to have this here so nobody arranges the same song.

Click here for the full OP listing including:

• Track number
• Track title
• Original composer/arranger
• The person who claimed the track
• Level of completion
• (Green: Done, Red: In Progress, Orange: In Submissions, Blue: Accepted to Site)
• Whether or not it's a duet/two piano arrangement.
• (Green: Yes)
  

Arrangements in the submissions board of the forum will be linked.
Arranger profiles will be linked in case you want to PM them.
Track names are also clickable and will lead to a YouTube video of that song.

[CURRENT DESIGNS]

We're starting to work on designing a shirt for NSM!

I obviously can't do this all by myself, especially seeing that this is a shirt meant for the entire NSM community and not just for me. But that's where you all come in!
*cool flashy transition*

I encourage everyone to make their own designs and post them here. Otherwise, you can pitch ideas!
Even if you can't do the above, I would appreciate if you could take the time to give feedback on the designs. Think to yourself, "Would I wear this?"
I look forward to seeing everybody's ideas. Let's make something happen!


To start things off, here is a design I made, largely influenced by sports design. Please feel free to let me know your opinions on it.

==My own interpretation of the song; less of a transcription, more of an arrangement

For those unaware, Blade & Soul is a free-to-play Korean RPG that got released to western countries recently(Jan 19, 2015).
This topic is for all discussions related to this game. It's an amazing game and you should definitely check it out if you haven't already.

You can find the game's website here.

Join me on my quest to drawing all the Pokémon! Don't worry it'll only take maybe 3 years.
I'll post the name of the Pokémon we should draw everyday and it'll be in order by region/number, so that we can keep track of our progress easily.
There's no need feel pressured to do a great job; it's just practice.

If I ever die, feel free to bump this so that I remember about it lol

Ever wanted to just store away quotes that you like somewhere for future use? I think it would be nice to just put them all in one place, so everyone feel free to post their favorite quotes here

Here's where I'll post my stupid stories that come to me on the toilet. Disclaimer: I'm not a storyteller.

I started up a YouTube channel today. I'm going to try to upload covers of arrangements on NSM and stuff. Critique is more than welcome.
