Responses to your questions, @Unk_Nown:
Yes, because they are pretending to be more than one person in order to get more entries. In any case, dup profiles are discouraged anyhow.
I’m by no means coming after Mfxxx, but submitting multiple entries does offer you a “blanket” vote entry, by being able to cover more than one listener, and I do think he gained an unfair advantage by submitting more than one. I don’t believe he’s the only one, and this isn’t about singling anyone out. This is merely a clarification of the rules.
It’s easy to make three tracks in different styles and win by the broad spread of voters’ tastes that three entries will cover, but not as easy to do that in one entry. Remember, we’re really not voting for tracks, there’s nothing really special that happens with any one track, it’s about WHO made the track, as they are the ones who become host.
I’m not quite following you here. There’s no talk of a BB comp at any point in the near future. That was BB100, which the boilerplate mentions but only because it’s out of date. Are you saying people are motivated by money? Are you saying you’d like better rewards for being the winner?
It’s been a while since we’ve had BB’s where people entered multiple subs, as usually it isn’t a problem, but when it does, when you’re looking at a list of 7 tracks, and four of them are by one person, it kinda eclipses the other’s work imo. I know MFXxx had a winning streak for a while way back in some of the BB’s before the Great IDMf Server Crash, which isn’t unusual as we don’t really have many entrants, but when someone is on a winning streak and they’re posting several subs, it does kinda feel like they’re blocking others by volume.
I’m really not concerned about Mfxxx and what has happened in the past. This isn’t an accusation. I’m not accusing anyone of anything. I’m not being emotional, I’m being rational. I’m simply managing how the Beat Battles are run.
