The Chrono Trigger Soundtrack Battle

[Lord J Esq]

This is a contest where you help to decide the most popular song in Chrono Trigger. The rules are simple:

First Rule
You get 30 points to use, which you may distribute however you like among the 83 listed songs in the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. For instance, you can give 20 points to "Morning Sunlight," and the other 10 to "Gato's Song." Or you can give one point apiece to 30 different songs. Or you can give all your points to one song. The point is that you can split up your 30 points however you like. But you must use all 30 points--no more and no less.

Second Rule
Below you will find a list of all 83 songs in the Chrono Trigger soundtrack, courtesy of the Chrono Trigger music page of our very own Chrono Compendium. When you assign your points, write them down next to the song and switch that song to boldface using the bold tags. Here is an example of how that might look:

  13. Courage and Pride >>> 7
  14. Huh?!
  15. Manoria Cathedral >>> 4
  16. A Prayer to the Travelers
  17. Silent Light >>> 14
  18. Boss Battle 1 >>> 5
  19. Frog's Theme

Third Rule
You probably will not be the first person to enter your points, so what you should do in that case is copy the most recent list in the thread, and add your numbers to that one. Make sure you get your addition right! Whichever song has the most points at the end of the contest will win!

And now, without further ado...

You didn't follow Rule Three, Corey. Would you go back and edit your selections to include the most recent list?

Third Rule
You probably will not be the first person to enter your points, so what you should do in that case is copy the most recent list in the thread, and add your numbers to that one. Make sure you get your addition right! Whichever song has the most points at the end of the contest will win!

Excellent so far! Keep 'em coming. I'll do mine too, once a few more people participate. I'd hate to skew the results of my own contest!

[Kebbs]

I don't think I like the way this is set up very much, because the ones who post later can give more points to their favorite songs that a lacking a bit and ignore their favorite songs that already have a ton of points. Why not just set up a bracket and have a vote? Also, why bother with the short track,s like goodnight and the short Fanfares and Mystery of the Past? I wouldn't mind starting this whole thing over, but if in a couple of days you have not decided to do a bracket, then I will post my points.

That's a fair concern, but I'm not going to run secret ballots. If you want to make an independent decision, then don't look at other people's point listings; just add yours to the total. If others do want to make their choices based on the trend to-date, then that's their choice. That's also life.

[ZeaLitY]

Is no one following the 30 point rule?
