pokemoneinstein is the next person to take on "Rate the Composer!" Results:Round 1: SuperiorLarxene - 95% Round 2: lala19357 - 97% Round 3: LugiaDialga - 93% Current Nominations:flameheadshero - 5 hnturs12 - 28 REGlROCK - 6 MeanGreenLuigi - 1 Pokeneon7 - 10 Sonicwave1000 - 9 Dasgust - 19 AlmightyArceus - 4 tobinus - 10 pokemonmastertriplex - 1 xxseenyweenyxx - 2 utuber6061 - 3 ---------------------------------------79% Honestly, none of his works have really stuck out to me. :/ I mean, don't get me wrong, his stuff it good, but it doesn't really wow me. For some constructive advice, I feel like your compositions/arrangements should have a little bit more variety. Not like do different songs from other games, but like at a certain part of the song, add a calmer section or increase the tempo and go nuts. You know, make something epic out of it. I also feel like you haven't made enough original compositions. Haunted Grotto was nice, but it didn't really fit the title. It was a bit too upbeat for something 'haunted.' Maybe if it was in a minor key or some accidentals, I dunno. Low strings also helps in haunted songs. So do low choirs. But, like I said, there isn't really much to change in your songs. There really good. Just don't stick out much to me. But, if you add more variety, I'm 100% sure you'll improve and get a +90% rating when round 10 comes! Noms: +3 tobinus +1 Pokeneon7 +1 Dasgust

...eh, I guess it would be fair to decline a nomination. It's like actual elections I guess. If you don't want to be rated at this time, that should be fair.
At the same time, it's not fair if you're just doing it because the ratings are lower. (i'm not saying you are, I'm just saying it out of a general rule to be established.) The whole rating thing is both about compliments AND constructive criticism. Ratings should be taken where ever you are nominated. Then, maybe later, you may be re-evaluated.

I'm dearly sorry for voting you lower because of what I though of you.
The Good: Great songs. I would 100% take a look at his channel if you like orchestra remixes.
The Bad: Could you a bit work on the 8-bit stuff. If he improves on that, I will add 9% to my review.
Forgot my noms: 1+ Lala19357 1+ LugiaDialga 3+ Hnturs12

Okay pokemoneinstein, maybe it's because I slept for less than 9 hours or maybe it's the fact that I just woke up, but this irritates me. I nominated you last week and after your first review you are hittin' the deck! My position on this as a nice person says you should wait it out and see where this goes. My say as I feel right now, however, is NO WAY BUD. You were nominated just like everyone else, and you shall be reviewed like everyone else! Sorry I am such a grump, but this kind of stuff pushes my buttons. Oh and it's not my decision to make on this issue, I wanted to get my two cents in. This has been taken care of and now we need to move on. Thank you tobinus for finishing what Larx started. Much appreciated! hnturs12 +1 Dasgust +1 MeanGreenLuigi +1 AlmightyArceus +1 tobinus +1

I think everyone should be rated. It's good to get constructive criticism. You don't want to be rated because of the lower ratings, right? Well, you can improve yourself and get better ratings next time. As for myself, I would've given you way more than 80%. Nomnoms: Pokeneon7 +1 Tobinus +1 AlmightyArceus +1 Sonicwave +1 Flameheadshero +1

Can I actually request my review be postponed? Don't worry about anything. Members will be able to evaluate again on round 10.

Thanks. I'll fix that right now. (I forgot to do that.)

I think everyone should be rated. It's good to get constructive criticism. So far I've gotten "nothing stands out" and "I don't like what you do." Nothing is constructive about that. By the way, I really don't think 0% is fair. it's about skill of the composer, not genre preference of the critic. True, though if you take a look at the last round (and maybe the one before it, I can't remember) you'll see my nominations drifted to other people. I don't want to be postponed because I'm afraid of low ratings. In fact, I requested it only after a 79% and that's pretty high. Not in contrast to others, but it's pretty high.

Gah, I'm trying to fix the broken quote. Whatever, sort of too late now.

Well, if you want some constructive advice, I'll edit my first post. But, I have to walk to the store, so It's going to have to wait. But, like I said, it doesn't really matter because there will be re-evaluations.

True enough.
And as a supplement to that, I just realized, I've only nominated myself between 4 and 9 times. Much lower than I thought. Anyway, I don't really know if I was trying to make a point with that, but whatever.
