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 :) |

PAL, and of course you missed my point completely ;)
I have nothing against coops, coop demos and same people being in many groups. Hell, at some point in the 90s I was in at least 5 at the same time ;)
I am just thinking that we are at a certain point in commodore demoscene history, where it is viable to ask the question if those two (coop demos and single group demos) are comparable anymore, due to a sheer amount of gunpower. It becomes a bit like a football game played by a standard team on one side, and three teams on the other. Is it fun to watch? Not really. I understand you have a different perspective on that, because you are basically sitting in a different place that I am.
But once again - it's just an idea, don't get so offensive, it's not an attack. And no, 'we are all doing it just for fun' cannot be always used as an ultimate argument against any attempt at regulating anything. I think... ;) If there is no competition, no comparison, no contest - fine, but when you put those in place, you need some common sense and measure in place.
PS. And my use of the words 'offended' and 'offensive' is/was pure coincidence ;PPPP |

reminds me of the (mostly joking) statements by booze accusing of being "unfairly" beaten by OXY and Censor "teaming up" against them in Comaland 100% :)
Nothing against splitting competitions basically, but I wouldn't do it unless 3 or more of such co-op demos are handed in. And as I said before, I do not really find it important to split categories. |

I am 42 years old and just doing something creative with my friends... from my sphere I have all these great friends and like to create with them all... the more the merrier... because they are my best friends.
I never wanted to turn this into us, I never even saw your words 'offended' and 'offensive' towards us in any way.
My point were just simply the title of our Datastorm demo: We are all connected!
Insane people doing insane stuff on an insane platform to do stuff on today... insane it is... far out... we are oddballs all of us - AND I LIVE AND LOVE IT. |

I wouldnt mind about a coop-compo, but I dont think its practical. It wouldnt make things more fair, just shift the advantages. It would produce border-cases to cause new discussions, like people in multiple groups, 2 small groups making a coop, exclusive graphics or music from another group, help with linking, whatever...
I would go for PETSCII and something size-limited for the coders (1K- or 4K-Intro). |

Some size compo would be great, no matter if it is 256b, 1k, 4k, also a fastsize compo would be fun with the rules announced at the party. Like produce a chargrid in as few bytes as possible. |
