Yep! Well it always feels great to get positive ratings, but it doesn't really mean much about the quality of the tracks.

Either way, it doesn't have an effect on the competition other than with perhaps morale (don't let the numbers affect you!).
As far as I'm aware, NGADM is a friendly environment. Surely support and encouragement will be there!

F*** me for trying something new right?

Don't worry about that crap. As a mod, I see almost all of my catalog zero-bombed on the regular by sour grapes -- and sour grapes aren't that relevant. They come and go, so who cares? Like @Chrononomad and @Ectisity said, the judges, myself included, don't give a hoot what anyone else thinks of your song, even amongst ourselves. Our individual opinions (scores) will be averaged out, and that'll determine your ranking. Also, after this round of judging, I intend to review most if not all of the 270+ tracks. Been short on my review quota this year, and what would a competition be without judges pointing out your room for improvement?!

If you are worrying about zero bombing in a contest, you are not in the right place.

I grow weary awaiting the demise of my foes. Our precious time runs short!

We are still awaiting scores from some of our judges, so it will be a while. But take heart! The end of the beginning is near...

Prepare yourselves for the beginning of the end!

It is ironic that I would be commenting on a zero bombing.... Hell I have a hole thread on my rant about that!
But, learning and growing has taught me that, being happy with what you create is more important than worrying about a score or stars.
Just have fun at making your music and play around with it as much as you can!

Holy shit dude.

Oh man, you've really been busy! I've got to start writing up mine at some point. A lot of times I'll listen to a song 2 or 3 times before I type up a review though. I suppose at least if @ChronoNomad lets us keep the spread after the compo, that'll be a very neat and tidy resource to up my monthly reviews for the next while!

this takes forever...

No worries there! The spreadsheet will stay right where it is, so feel free to use it as a resource for those reviews.

We're still busting our butts, trying to finish up these results in a timely fashion. But man, you guys sure gave us a lot of work to do!

Amazing. You have written a full length novel in your reviews.

Seriously. 50k words = 1 novel.

AHEM

Sorry, I need to pull out of the competition. I don't have enough time to compete if I happen to make it past the audition.

Things have changed, and I can't dedicate myself to music at the moment.

Sorry!
