Final Results (AKA: HOLY CRAP HE DID IT)

Aeronautical Vigilante · 02-10-2007, 04:08 PM

Five hundred thousand delays, screw-ups, and self-depreciating comments from me later, Dance Dance Revolution: Original Simfile Contest ~the Beta of New Generation~ is finally over. Some things worked (the new rules scheme), others didn't (only having one head admin).

The final poll had two failures: will-i-am sent his in the day after it was due, and sakuraguy failed to follow the format. Sorry, dudes, but I said I'm gonna be an asshole this time and I meant it. No count for you.

And the final results?

Winner:

*drumroll*

*drumroll*

*pagestreching drum roll*

*Yeah, I'm a jerk. A little more!*

Mata Hari

Congratulations, the_ditz, for winning OSC Beta of New Generation!

Both 2nd and 5th place had ties, interestingly, with Karma and Doctor Pressure matching for 2nd place, Love Tropicana taking a mildly distant third, Know Your Xenemy taking fourth, and the remaining entries (Blow Me Away, Metal Queen, and V35) all taking 5th. I'm kind of proud to say that every file was good enough to get at least two votes from people.

The most-mentioned "Aww this one didn't make it" was Paranoia Survivor Min. I'm not sure whether or not to be scared, so instead I'm just going to

and go.

If nothing else, the high point of OSC BoNG was, as always, the entries - we had quite a batch of them, and I want to thank everyone who took the time to make one under the theme.

COMING NEXT TIME:
* New name
* Actual team of administrators
* Better behind-the-scenes organization including backup plans
* All Songs Open (well, subject to our usual pseudo-decency and don't cause pain rules)
* And perhaps a few more surprises which I am not at liberty to discuss and might get yelled at for even mentioning

Enjoy the rest of your semester, winter/spring, or summer/fall (depending on location and employment status), and keep an eye out when new posts start showing up here.

Congratulations ditz

lol first vote. Anyways, congrats ditz on your victory.

Well, that was a pretty obvious winner. Seems to me that pretty much everyone believed Mata Hari to be among their favorite simfiles in the competition. I rated it highest in my reviews for the best overall refinement, but didn't find it to be as distinct as Karma (dj REMO-CON Mix) or DOCTOR PRESSURE (besides, I knew it would rank first, anyway). Still, it nonetheless definitely deserved to bring home a win (much more so than Inspiration or Cheap Trick Kinda Girl, BTW), and I congratulate the_ditz for his excellent efforts.

Now, for Late Night Love with DDRExtreme and TM7 in the waiting process for the next competition here...

Second place is sweet! Congrats to the_ditz and all of y'alls.

cpubasic13 · 02-10-2007, 06:30 PM

Well, unfortunatley I didn't enter, but congrats to everyone that entered and extra congrats to those who won.

Next competition I will definitely enter something. :P Can't wait to see what happens next.

DJ Raijin · 02-10-2007, 06:33 PM

Good job, ditzy! You deserved that one, as it was an awesome simfile.

will-i-am · 02-10-2007, 06:43 PM

Congrats to you ditz! I knew you were going to win. I also knew I would come in last.

Oh well, at least I tied for 5th with 2 other simfiles, hehe. I don't really care that my vote didn't count because I didn't vote for myself anyway. My vote wouldn't really have changed the standings much. I just congratulate all of you who have made it this far and good luck in the next BMS simfile tournament!

P.s. The boogar vote was DQ'ed?

TakeWalker · 02-10-2007, 07:23 PM

Hell YES Mata Hari won. <.< Because it was damn awesome. Mega congratulations to Karma, and further congratulations to all the files for getting two votes each. Because that's pretty cool.

Xythar · 02-10-2007, 09:35 PM

Woo, the one I wanted to win did win!

Congrats, Ditz!

Thanks to everyone for their time.

Ben Speirs · 02-11-2007, 04:22 AM

Congrats Ditz! Although I didn't expect it at all. Your file seemed to be the more quiet one. Well anyway, congratulations to all of you!

the_ditz · 02-11-2007, 10:51 AM

Wow! I only just saw this!!

I am honestly surprised that I came 1st after the first round. I just want to say a massive thank you for all the kind words you guys have given me - I set out to make up for the poor performance (by my standards) of Dream of You in OSC5 and I can now safely say that I have definitely succeeded!

Massive congratulations to Karma, Doctor Pressure and Love Tropicana Deluxe - all three of those were throughly deserving of a place in the top 3 as well!

I guess I'm just happy that at the end of the day, DDR OSC Beat of New Generation was won on the merits of the core file components rather than extras. It proves that the simfile is still very much alive and kicking, and going from strength to strength.

I'm honoured that I can now claim that I have won an OSC contest, and I am most definitely in prestigious company in that role. Thanks again everyone - here's to many more great contests in the future

Actually, you did win DDR OSC 5's ITG bracket with Cheap Trick Kinda Girl, facing 8 more entries than during this competition. Nonetheless, this is definitely where you actually truly deserved to take the gold (not because of extras or a lesser competition), so great job with Mata Hari!

To be honest, I'm not all that impressed by it myself. But hey, thanks to everyone for the kind words.

Crap, that reminds me, I think I still need to code Nihon GO for OSC5 Nonstop.

Congratulations, ditz (for winning the entire competition)!! Kudos to all the other contestants-- although this one was marred with various problems, it all paid off in the end (especially for those who won).
