[AditTechno]

It's up!

 

[Svetli]

Great, @StringStorm @GhostOfPast @Brambleclaw - We're here now.

 

[Brambleclaw]

Ghost of the past your piece is really haunting with that start type whistle sound

 

[stan0033]

"Welcome to the hive" sounds very friendly and fresh. I vote for it.
Reminds me if Battle Mages

Arthas is also good one

 

[AditTechno]

@StringStorm Uh, you can't vote for yourself?

 

[Unregret]

I vote for GhostofPast this time. Easy to get in and easy to get out. Glorious.

 

[deepstrasz]

Please remove @StringStorm's vote from his own entry. It might be a mistake.

 

[Michael the Boombringer]

The Arthas song is by far the best one.

 

[Naze]

Please remove @StringStorm's vote from his own entry. It might be a mistake.

Unhappily, individual votes can't be removed. It just won't be considered in the end, when calculating the scores.

Since it's a first time offence he won't be disqualified, just like we did in previous contests. Anyway, @StringStorm and everyone else who's not used to these rules, please pay attention to them:

• Each user can only vote once in the poll.

• You cannot vote for yourself. If a voter has the same IP as the author then the vote will not be counted and it may result in the disqualification of the entry.

• You cannot create multiple accounts to vote for an entry in the poll. If a voter has been found to be using multiple accounts none of the voters votes will count in the final result.

• You cannot bribe users for votes. Contestants who break this rule will be disqualified and given negative reputation.

Why aren't Multiple votes allowed?

 

[Naze]

This is a matter that is mostly up to the host to decide. I merely went for how HappyCockroach ran the lastest model/texture contest, on which the number of votes allowed in poll = 1/3 of total number of entries.

In our case,
5/3 = 1,66 ~> 1 vote

 

[Svetli]

You decide.

 

[Svetli]

WOW, my entry has the most downloads. ^^ Thank you for your support, dear people!

 

[AditTechno]

Dude, you double-posted.

 

[stan0033]

Boy, the number of downloads don't matter. The votes matter.

 

[obie]

GhostofPast nailed the theme. Good job!

 

[Michael the Boombringer]

1,66 is closer to 2 than to 1

 

[Svetli]

Dude, you double-posted.

I know, but it's allowed in the rules.

 

[Michael the Boombringer]

??

 

[WolfFarkas]

I hear the music themes like 4 or 5 times it was really hard to decide, good job to all the participants!

 

[stan0033]

Pick the most addicting

Oh shit. I thought everyone voted for themselves so that everyone will have 1 vote per. Makes for a more even distribution of votes.

 

[PrinceYaser]

Voted for @GhostOfPast. His/her entry is the best imo.

Good luck, guys!

 

[RED BARON]

Out of all of them Arthas by Brambleclaw, felt the most fitting for the purpose. It was also in my opinion the most varied of them and one that I could actually listen to for the whole track. As such it gets my vote. Unyelding started out very well, but didn't really feel much change after the initial splash. As for the others its my preferences (not much techno) and the idea of it being an official soundtrack that needs to be heard repeatedly, that makes me avoid a vote.

 

[Michael the Boombringer]

The Arthas one was really good. It showed a story, unlike the other ones. At the beginning, it seemed like the Lordaeron Council sent Arthas on an important mission, by hitting the ground with their staffs. The next part represented the journey through different lands, then the longest part showed the fight against the undead and the bravery of the soldiers who won even though they were outnumbered. At the end, after this great victory, Arthas returned to Jaina.

I liked something about all of the themes. Had decide between #1(which is normally not my type of music at all) and #3, which I then voted for.

 

[Naze]

*AHEM* the results are out!
