it's not a problem for us, Mighty. I just put the link here so you could, at least, listen to the music and know about his situation. No one is being forced to vote at all; in fact, I encourage to vote in any of the entries listed on the main site, even in the chiptune category.
Though also as listener, I also give my opinions on the entries, and explain why they are bad or not. There's a handful of music in that competition that is actually good (mainly in that trailer contest, which also happens to be the most disputed one), as well as piece of garbage sounds like the one I posted: a trailer that focuses on mystical and adventure elements such as the girl with colorful clothing exploring the scenery, runes and imagery, knights shouldn't have electronical, boring and poorly-rendered music at all. Vinicius spent like, two entire days solely to make sure each instrument sample was perfectly masterized so it wouldn't sound scratchy and/or artificial. This is why I prefer his music over that; not only the melody is good, he really outdid himself with that piece.
Finally, orchestral or 'real instrument' music is harder to judge because in my opinion, the quality of the piece ends up falling more on the 'emotion' and 'melody' side. Chiptunes can be emotional, yes, but you can clearly hear the techniques and judge what is hard to make and what isn't, even if you don't know a lot about chiptunes.
Just do what you feel it's right. still puzzled at how you liked that noise but opinions are opinions
