Haha aww, don't we have a fun little community here :o I'll be sure not to go on Hiatus again... This is all really exciting. I'm also amazed at the variety, I've listened to every entry twice now :)

Sorry Jace.
I've checked more carefully now and nothing should be missing now, but let me know if there is another problem.

Everyone: Download the latest zip file once again.

Sorry that I haven't handled things as well as I should have.

I'll grab the new zip tonight, and I think my scores could use some double checking.

Great showing, everyone.

EDIT: Okay, scores re-sent.

Kungfufurby: examining people's files with a hex editor to work out their identity is pretty lame, since we're supposed to stay anonymous until the end. Interesting, though, despite doing that, you still managed to get all but one of your guesses completely wrong.

The drums in my midi files play correctly on all the synths that I have available to me. That's probably rosegarden's fault rather than my own.
'lituanica.mid' was really just made for a joke. I made it in half an hour just before the deadline, just in time to submit it into the contest. It's not how I usually compose.
I don't know what detuned notes you're talking about in my other song. Which instrument did they play on?

I'm assuming there's a post that's been deleted somewhere... since I don't remember reading kungfukirby's guessing game...?

Why use a hex editor anyway, cakewalk shows all the copyright info on all MIDIs anyway. :p I don't vote because I entered contest and don't want to make any biased looking scores... like say... marking everybody else's scores really low so my own is higher? A judge did that once in a contest here... and all the judges along side him defended him. Was terribly lame but it happens. :p

I was referring to the stuff he wrote in his voting form, which has been made available in the main post in a zip file.

Yo, can we get a list of who wrote what.

Highlights:
I think OrganSong1 is still my #1 pick.
lituanica is hilarious, especially that final chord.
That one section at :21-:40 in anillegaloperation is still stuck in my head.
DennistheRocketCamel is pretty catchy, as is Manflow. I wasn't exactly sure, but wuz dat sum monsquaz?

Alright, see you next contest!

OrganSong1 was really great, and I enjoyed anillegaloperation a lot too.
I'm glad you found lituanica funny. I was laughing myself while writing it.
There's probably something in manflow that sounds like the monsquaz theme, but it wasn't intentionally put in there.

I know the scores don't really matter, but if it weren't for KungFuFurby, 'Manflow' would have placed first. The way it is now, it's placed 9th. I can't help but be annoyed over that, especially since he seemed to treat me harshly with his votes.
