I'm hedging all my bets on CDVV, also please book all bets through me so I can run off with your money

The thing is, dude. That's the point of a randomized contest. You basically just contradicted yourself. The point of the songs being randomized is that it challenges you to edit outside your comfort zone. If you edit to the same stuff all the time, then you really aren't getting any better. You woulld be surprised how fast people will get burnt out of your videos if you used the same genre of song with the same type of editing YOU are used to.

Point is that recieving random songs challenges you as an editor. I had never heard of Starry Eyes until I got the song. It's not really my type of music. It was rather slow. And I would not have edited to it otherwise. And I'm glad I did try my hardest on it. Something really good came out of it and in the long run, I think I'm better for it. Plus I learned something new.

Let's not forget the main point of this contest.

FUN!!

Then it'll just be like every other contest.

If you don't like how it's run, join one of the other 99 contests that run exactly how you want it to.

You had the rules available beforehand. If you didn't like them, you should not have taken a spot from someone else who wanted it.

Hey hey hey lets not be so harsh, sirmichaelvalentine has a long and outstanding history of making quality AMVs. One subpar video (rushed and uninspired, no less) would tarnish their record and they simply would prefer to withdraw than risk such a blemish on their career.

Also, PERIODS, please. Anyway, I hope you get the point... There were so many editors who wanted to participate and now... there's just a blank spot.

Hey can you bend the rules for me because I am a longtime upstanding member of the community (and also a personal friend of the staff), also I promise not to troll the competition with some My Little Pony video edited to the completely wrong song (because anyone who knows me knows that is something I would do in this exact situation (except I won't do it this time (except I probably will because I like to troll like that!))).
