Vote for the Orchestration Challenge 12!

[rbowser-]

Gary--You're so right, that Debussy and Ravel are alive and well.---SOrry you're still messed up with your "uprgrade"--Dang!

ANd now--I gotta quote myself, what I said at the end of the thread where this challenge started--I'm still this stoked, and have No idea how I'll vote.

--12 for #12--!

OK--I'm just pretty much blown away by this outpouring of music.

I've been impressed with this Garritan group ever since joining last November, and it's a constant joy that I'm now part of it--but I haven't ever been as thoroughly excited and in Awe of what happens on these Forums than I am now after hearing these 12 FANTAStic pieces of music!

To hear this outburst of agile creativity, sparked by the little experimental motif I came up with makes for one of those magical moments that happens once in awhile and just makes me HAPPY TO BE ALIVE--!!

Rule change--all pieces are hereby chosen as The Winners. OK?

Well this is all great stuff!

I have questions on the voting, perhaps it's assumed but i don;t know

Can you vote for more than one? Can you vote more than one time? If you are a participant can you vote?

Great stuff. It's making me think a lot harder and broader.

Good questions, Johnny

I'm jumping in here to answer since I'm here seeing your post, but Sean is The Man In Charge.

You can only vote for one entry.

Once you've voted, a pop-up will say "Um, you've already voted buddy!"--and so it's impossible to vote again.

Participants may vote also.

These orchestrations are indeed great humm?

Participants can vote.

You can only vote once, but I'm not sure how many votes you actually have since it looks like there are check mark buttons instead of the radio buttons, or whatever you call 'em. Sometimes in the past the poll was set up to allow 3 votes per person. Since I have yet to make a voting decision, I'm not sure what will happen if you vote for more than one in this particular poll...

Wow, what great examples of diversity. I haven't voted yet, I have an entry, but there are sooo many good ones, I may vote for one other than mine (is there a rule that I have to vote for myself?) Congratulations to all the contestants.

I just spent part of this evening listening to all twelve Orchestral Challenge entries. It was a great pleasure. Know that I am very pleased to be associated with this community. You are my kind of people!

I just voted and it let me vote for 3 (I didn't try 4, though I could have easily put down 6 or even 12!).

So, you can vote for at least 3 choices.

I don't know if you can go back once you voted and add more if you originally voted for only 1 or 2. Anybody know?

"...I just voted and it let me vote for 3..."

Well hush my mouth! That's surprising, Trent--Thanks for letting us know.

During the last challenge, this question came up, and the unequivicable answer was posted that we could only vote for One entry. I wonder why this would suddenly change-?

And also last time, after you had voted, when the thread was visited again there would be a message saying "you have already voted" so there was definitely no chance of voting again. I imagine that would be the same--otherwise someone could visit constantly and vote for the same entry over and over--problematic.

Interesting though---Voting for more than one sure makes it at least a Little easier to make decisions!

Point of Reference: If you look at the bottom of the poll to the left you will see: "Multiple Choice Poll", so I guess that means we can make multiple choices.

2 weeks might be a hair long - how about if we vote on the 12 entries for challenge #12 within 12 days? Maybe have voting end at 12 noon (Orcas Island time) on Sunday 5/20 and talk about winner on that Sunday's chat?

Or does ending at 12 in 12 days with our vote on 12 entries for Challenge #12 just seem like too many, well, you know?

i say we stop voting on december 12, 2012 at 12:12:12. that will give everyone a chance to vote, so i think its the only fair thing to do.
