Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

^We are!

If you could send a PM to the judgrors containing a quotable paragraph with YouTube links to some of the examples we talked about, that would be awesome. I'll clean up the rules, make an introductionary paragraph, and the topic could be up today.

Who's excited for this?

Yes, I'm still around from time to time. For quicker response, you can reach me by PM, or drop by Smogon to say hi. I go by "Codraroll" there, because of a bet.

Quote from: MaestroUGC on January 13, 2012, 02:36:14 PMOk, so we have waltz and polyphony/counterpoint to choose from. I think the latter would be more fun to do, but not this early in trying to get the game organized. We'd want something simple to make sure we all know how the game works, judging, rules, etc. Plus with something as complicated as combine two themes is, it may be a bit much for right now.

I was fiddling around on the piano today when I happened to realize that "In the Hands of Fate" from PMD2 and the Zelda: OoT "Title Theme" used practically the same chord progression, so I fleshed out my ideas and made something of a PMD medley accompanied by the left hand of the OoT Title Theme (and right occasionally). I even came up with a spoof game this song would belong to! (see below) Just thought I'd post this here since it could be a good example of combining two themes (in this case, the Ocarina of Time Title Theme with various tunes from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon).

Correct topic. If you read what I was quoting, you'd see it was Maestro deciding whether to do the "waltz" theme (which we're currently doing now), or the "counterpoint/polyphony" theme. My post above was to give an example of the possibilities that lay for us in our next arrangement contest, should we choose to go with the "counterpoint/polyphony" theme. This is the brainstorming topic after all.

Not the exact same, I added a couple extra sentences at the end for relevence to this topic, but I can definitely understand where you're coming from.

Less than five days left! Now's the time to make your final adjustments and turn them in; don't risk missing the deadline, any product is better than no product. Don't forget that you must place your ID number in the "Arranged by" space, and turn in your submissions to Cobra, not me or the other judgrors. The clock is ticking...

Lol, wrong topic Maestro. Post that in the "grand dance" thread.

I dunno if you guys are still worn out from having just finished the Waltz contest, but as for me, I'm already stoked for Arrangement Contest 3! I'm hoping everyone still wants to do "theme combination/counterpoint/polyphony".

I think that would be good, but let's wait until may-ish, since that's around when most of us will have summer break.
