X2016 Competitions: Your Input Wanted!
The 28th of october is still far away but getting closer and closer. The organizers have been getting busy and are now well underway to get everything sorted out for another smashing X!
Since entry delivery and running the compos at X14 went quite smooth and voting is now done in realtime, we believe we may have room for 1 or 2 more (small/fun) c64 competitions. Like a PETSCII compo or a 4k compo, or maybe you guys have an idea?
Or perhaps you think the straightforward demo/music/gfx compos are enough.
Let us know :) |

pffft... back then we had demos with ugly decrunch screens, flashing etc (One Year Camelot 3) and now the sissy scene cant even accept disk selector menus popping up in a compo... |

thing is, depending on what kind of stuff is going on in the turn disk part, it will simply not work at all. and yes, its butt ugly too. |

+1 for real 1541. We will try to run multidisk demos from real 1541, but it's not a promise. For practical reasons we may switch to 1541U or chameleon...
One of the reasons X14 compo was so smooth was because we used a 1541U. And the only crashing demo, crashed because we used a real 1541 (and the disks weren't written on the same drive).

didnt it crash because you inserted the wrong disk in the first place? (or no, that was the year before..... =P) |

Join your braincells together to produce some gray matter perhaps :P Those are comments I love the most - nothing interesting or constructive to say? Have a big cup of yummy STFU then, dude. |

"And suddenly whole thickheaded bunch cries how it kills spirit of christmas. So I guess it's best to fuck all additional compos and go as usual. No 2SIDs and any fancy faggotry. So why to put any idea here at all? ;) I'd really love more logical objections to the above instead of crying over kid's years when grass was greener and demos were crashing :P"
Says the crybaby. |

@Fungus: And...? Anything wise to add in order to oppose my statement? |

It's already been said. A compo is a *LIVE* event, not some pre-recorded perfect conditions on your own equipment. It has always been this way and there is simply no reason to change it. If it we're to be changed, then people would surely begin to exploit it and just make demos in flash or fake things in other ways where it cannot be verified to run on real hardware.
Now, pull your singular braincell out of your ass. Have a day. |

let's keep unrelated stuff out of this thread. its not about prerecording or what not, it's about 1 (maybe 2) additional competitions. |
