Regarding rules/collabs/entries:
I think we might be making it overly complex. While it's nice to get a win, I don't think most of us are driven by the contest as much as by the sample challenge and the various weekly guidelines themselves. I also haven't found that collabing, or having multiple entries for that matter, actually increases odds of winning the weekly battle. But that's just me. I also find collaborating across the internet to be a bit wonky, but I do think it's a good exercise as well as good for comaraderie and the STBB community, and they are fun to hear.
Lansky and I are currently using a shared studio space and have been a rap duo for 20 years, so I don't think we could stop collabing if we tried lol. When we do collab in STBB Land, it's almost always putting a verse on the other's instrumental. And we enjoy doing that sometimes when the rules allow for outside accapellas, which of late they usually do.
Ultimately, I think we can all agree that we want to have a good healthy competition and a welcoming environment for players new and old, but I also think we do a pretty good job of that already. : )
I support whatever makes the most people happy, but it makes sense to me allow 1 entry per SC page/Forum acct, regardless of who collabs with whom (unless the weekly rules specify ie the Microbeats week)

Hope everyone is having a great week! Lots of heaters so far and I look forward to hearing the remaining entries! - Cheers, Tony
