Demo of the Year

Hello.

I'm surprised this idea hasn't been floated around. In the past two years, we have had C64.SK and CSDb ramping up with up to date information on demo releases throughout the year.

Why not have a Demo of the Year voting in Jan. 2004 for demos that were released throughout 2003? Thanks to C64.SK, we know whose demo entries won various competitions, which ones were released, etc. Why not compile a list of demos that won their respective demo party/competition, plus maybe an open invitation to a demo or two to round up the list?

CSDb or some other forum could then host the list and have a voting function for the C64 demo scene in choosing the Demo of the Year 2003. This would be a nice honor and one that is finally made possible thanks to reliable sources like CSDb and C64.SK. I'd like to write about the winning demo entry in a printed Commodore publication as well. :)

Any thoughts? Ideas?

Enjoy.

Hello, Slator and Steppe-

You both have valid criticism. My main goal is to get more voting efforts out of the C64 demoscene community here on CSDb. I have now gotten 93 votes! Still, I have nagging doubts that some CSDb participants here have changed their votes based on the results displayed here, hence my strong suggestion not to do so. My hope is that these people on the fence (lurkers) will now then be prompted to vote in the endeavor and this is what I'm aiming for.

The final tally will be displayed tomorrow, even if there are a couple of ties and whatnot. I may not like it, but the voting endeavor has to end at some point. :)

Enjoy.

I guess we can conclude that Cycle is the top demo of the year, when we read your in between commentary, Eyeth.

Don't do that again next year, please.. Also, stick to the deadline you set, dont extend it, if only 50 people vote, then we'll have to accept that.

(Coz I was about to vote Dialogue no.1, just by reading your comments on voting so far.. ;))

Hello.

The 2004 C64 Demo Of The Year Voting Chart endeavor is now over! 94 people participated in the voting effort and thank you for participating! I did not get my goal of 100 voters, so this will not be a definitive endeavor and will leave room for much discussion.

Without further ado, here is the final tally:

1.) Cycle 255 points. (Nice number!)
2.) Demode 134 points.
3.) Panta Rhei 131 points.
4.) Borderline 73 points.
5.) Wok Zombie 67 points.
6.) You Know the Routine 55 points.
7.) You Know the Routine 2 53 points.
8.) Dialogue 51 points.
9.) Brief Bursts of Happiness 47 points.
10.) Postcards from Stockholm 30 points.

The full results, including who voted what, etc. will be posted on the demooftheyear webpage soon!

Enjoy.

The gaps are votes for demos that didnt make it to the final round, right?

Hello, Iopop-

I'm not sure what the gaps mean. It could mean that the gaps refer to demos that were already eliminated in the Prescreening round. (If so, this person forgot to vote in the final Voting Chart.) It could also mean that this participant decided to vote on only 1, 2, or 3 demos and not all four at once.

Enjoy.

Hi Eyeth,
if next Year the Votes will be made public, you should announce it (or even better: give the Voters the Option to leave the Votes secret)

Open votes are good, even Eurovision song contest had their votes open.

Quote: Open votes are good, even Eurovision song contest had their votes open.

You seem to be trolling, but the open/closed vote-thing has been discussed til death.
If Eyeth wants more Votes, he should consider that some People will NOT vote, if the votes will be made public.

PS: Germany: 4 Points
