You're just too good. In looking for one thing, you found another. Way to go, champ.

So, looks like I'm the talkative one on the forums recently...
But anyway, I was wondering what folks thought about a slightly different contest structure in which voting doesn't start until all the mixes are submitted - let's say people have X days to submit a mix, then submissions are closed, and then people can vote for X days after. That way people will have all their options in front of them when they vote. The way things are now, it might be a waste of time to submit a mix during the last few days of a contest since others will already be thousands of points ahead.
I haven't really gone through all the other contests to scientifically prove that mixes submitted later are scored lower on average or whatever, but it's a thought to consider, no?

Wow, one of your mixes is doing swell in the ratings! But remember, Bob Dole did 'swell' in the primaries...

Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.

Agreed as well, although I think some people submit late on purpose as they don't actually want to win on that particular occassion.

Happy Valentine's day from the MTC staff. We really do love you all. So much so, in fact, that you should probably investigate a temporary restraining order -- we're crazy like that.

Count me in on the whole agreement issue too. I also think that it should sort of be common-law that if you want to participate in a contest that you are required to submit votes for every other entry in that contest. Many of us vote for every mixtape we view, others though ... not so much.
