2012 Year-End Maplestory Music Awards Preliminary Round

Edit: [b]NOTE: YOU MUST SPECIFY WHICH CATEGORY YOUR SUBMISSONS ARE FOR, OR YOUR SUBMISSION WILL BE IGNORED.[/b]

So, another year has passed. A ton more patches have come out, with a ton more content. Along with this content, some new music has come out as well.

As 2012 ends, with it comes the Maplestory Music Awards!

[b]How this is going to work:[/b]

There are going to be multiple categories to vote for. The following categories are:

1) Overall Best BGM (This is putting EVERYTHING into account, such as if the BGM fits, if it's good, etc. Therefore, your #1 here might not be your #1 in another category.)
2) Best Boss-Battle BGM (Must be the theme of a boss, ex: Zakum)
3) Most Soothing/Calming BGM
4) Most Intense/Epic BGM
5) Most Nostalgic BGM (The good old days...)

and of course...

6) Worst BGM (Most annoying, doesn't fit the scene, etc.)

[b]Guidelines:[/b]
You can nominate your top THREE choices for each category. Your number one choice will be worth 3 points, #2 two points, and #3 one point. Feel free to nominate less than three if you like, but no more than three.

You may nominate the [b]SAME SONG[/b] for multiple categories.

One nomination per person. Also, no insulting anybody because of their choices. If you've got a problem with what they've picked, then vote for something else yourself.

[b]NOMINATION FORMATTING:[/b]

Here's an example. These are my choices, by the way. (If you aren't able to post links on basil, then that's okay. But please do so if you can.)

Oh god, I'm not even going to bother with this category. Pretty sure you guys get how to do this by now, right?
