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 :) |

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

Quoting FungusJammer: go join the fucking PC scene then.
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. |

To give you a helping hand with reading comprehension skills:
Quoting Jammer The Helping HandTHE ORGS DO ALL RECORDING from delivered entries at party place
As Burglar has already stated no prerecording will take place, all above is not valid anyway and I'm perfecly fine with that. Your dumb, delayed statement was just unnecessary - I hope you realize that.
Apologies, Burglar, for trashing on my side in your merit thread. I won't go any further ;) Peace and cheers! |

Jammer - Yes your delayed statement wasn't dumb at all, NOPE. Now fuck off.
Burglar - sorry m8, I shall cease and desist. |

we are still in winter, so open the door and chill down men :)
my idea for the compo (already said, but perhaps it got lost): intro compo! 60" max each entry... |

Quote: 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...
Yes, but those decrunch screens and flashing and whatnot are part of the demo. A menu to swap disk images is not.
I can accept it, whatever. It's all fine, but it's not my personal preference. (: |
