When given the choice between adulting and music, choose music every time.

It's been some days--wondering when the poll will be up.

Olimar12345 does bring up a good point, though:
Quote from: Olimar12345 on March 21, 2018, 03:53:18 PMJust make sure to hide the poll results until the voting is over, as to not influence the judging (or voting).
If we can't hide the poll results from everyone who completes the poll, we'd better have all the judges finish judging before voting.

Cripes D: Sorry! I kinda got carried away with life! It's going on my to-do list for tomorrow!

Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on March 27, 2018, 07:53:10 PMUmmmmm yeah, I can't hide the results until after the voting is done. I'm assuming that's a mod's job, in which case I will poke a mod about.
There should be an option when making a poll to not let people view the results until the poll's finished. I make polls all the time, and that option is always there. Unless you're not talking about polls.

Apparently you can only choose that option after entering how long the poll will run.

The poll shouldn't be running indefinitely or else it will overlap with the Arrangement Contest No. 10 poll, anyway. Maybe somewhere between a week to a month is fine?

Oh. ._. One moment and the poll will be up. In the meantime, I posted links to the files

Regarding my entry, I consider my MP3 to be superior to my WAV. I like the sound balance on the MP3 better.

Hey, Bloop: Would your entry happen to be inspired by Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead? I'm just wondering because of the ostinato and time signature you used, and also because that was one of my inspirations.

Also, I got pretty lazy with this one. When I slowed down Chasm Cave's theme, I noticed it was pretty much identical to one of the motifs used in the Rite of Spring. In "Spring Rounds" there's a part that uses this motif, and then proceeds to use something that sounds like Hidden Highland from PMD2. Essentially, I tried to make up for the lack of content with a double reference.

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

It is, yes! That piece was my main inspiration for my entry; the viola also plays the ostinato from that piece in like three bars or so.
