No no its fine! This board is okay to talk in and your grammar isn't bad at all! And gweehhh how could I possibly ignore you when took the effort to write this down D: That would be plain rude of me!!

So for the chorus battle, from how the last one turned out I'm not really sure we want to hold another one... also it seems quite a few youtaite criticized us on twitter for holding so it was just hahahah...orz (brb crying inside)   But considering that groups was randomized + anonymous that might have been a bit off putting yeah...

I kinda think that there are a lot of new youtaites; most of them ask help in the beginner board... A lot of them kind of 'need friends' or 'searching for friends' but they are too shy... So I was thinking,.. 'There are a lot of new youtaite' | most of them can't mix, don't have friend who can animate, don't have friend who can illustrate, they don't have a persona, and yeah... they are complete beginner... no team might accept them joining in a chorus for chorus battles.

Yeah I've been noticing a lot of that recently :O I'm happy those that asked have found friends though ^^ And yeah I can understand and empathize with that. Fufufu at one time I considered making a thread or something where I just accept persona illustration requests (since personas can be so so important!!) but really idk...*looks to the side*

So my idea might makes this isn't really a chorus battle anymore, a battle where new youtaite (set limit for subs or the day first cover is post) are teamed up... well, the team is chosen by the admins.. like... we send a form, telling what can we do (ex. sing, mix, illustrate, etc), then the admin randomly group us up. Hmm that sounds interesting though...I'm not really sure how the turn out would be since we didn't actually get that many applications last times (or a lot quit without warning....) but a lot of people actually told us we didn't advertise enough so hmmm

I'm just worried that because that because the battle will be full of "amateurs" and will "therefore suck" that there won't be much interest in the battle....Also I don't want to be that rude, even if its true, but there is a limit that our ears can handle.

As for the form thing I think that's not a bad idea, I'm just a bit afraid that if a group fails they might say it was our fault since we sorted them LOL.I wonder if people would actually mind that much though or if I'm just overthinking things...

I'm also just a bit hmm about this because in terms of judging I'm sure there many other people that could do so much better than us...well at least me LOL I was the least helpful in judging for the last chorus battle. Part of judging is helping the ones being judged improve and in terms of musical training we're all a bit lacking except maybe a few people (though the other admins gave pretty good comments in the last battle, I was really wowed)....

That could be made up by asking for volunteer judges though I'm not sure how eager other people are....I won't lie and say people didn't offer the last time around though haha

Hmm I do have to say, your idea isn't entirely new as there seems there's been a chorus similar to your idea, though considering...the turnout wasn't too bad?? I was surprised since it didn't quite suck that much even though the battle itself wasn't the best managed;;

Thank you NaYu for your question and don't worry I don't think it is selfish of you to ask this as I'm sure many others that have thoughts similar to yours. I'm always interested to hear how people think about such subjects and how the wiki could make some newbies lives just a bit easier even if may not necessarily cater to those people.

I mean afterall this is a nice central area to discuss such things as so many people visit this wiki ^^

td:lr I'm not sure if I want to hold another chorus battle but I'm open to people's opinions about this (and could be swayed).

If you don't mind, I'd be moving this to the Beginning Singers board as I think it'll be more relevant there and more people might be able to comment on this.
