Release id #203390 : Unity

great demo! I love the triple fisting part and the one with the big logo swing with that strange color fx (is it by you, Doc?).
I have a question tho (a simple straight question without malignity and bad feelings which I hope won't offend anyone): if you are the organizers of a party should your demo compete against other entries or be set out of the compo?

Appreciate the question. Something like this has happened at other parties many many times before, it took less than a minute to find several other examples here on CSDb.
For us, there were a number of reasons this happened, mostly because the timing worked out. For a new event, there are many risks involved. One of the biggest risks is a lack of release for the competitions. One way to address this is to have your own entry.

Or a combination of both?

I remember when my group Studio Style won the compo on Demobit '95. It was actually a shame, because there were technically much better entries ;-) Problem is that only our demo was running on emulator available at that time and voting system was relying on screenshots of entries (you had voting disc etc. no hand counting). Our demo was the only one that had screenshot(s)?. I don't even know who was doing them and how it was done, I don't remember. Anyway I had a speech at price giving ceremony and I said there that it's a shame that we won. Similar speech was made by Amiga organizer, they also won ;-)))

I would call that good old times now, but other friends in the scene React and Cult groups which were competing were very disappointed about that, me too.

I can't recall if there was still jury voting in 2000, or 1998 was the last time. I believe we won fairly that year, maybe you should check the other entries.

Anyway, if groups can't compete on their own parties, that would be a loss for the scene. Is it fair? Not sure. Unfair? Not sure.

Probably the whole "who won" thing depends on who you ask, so there will always be discussion.

Probably 2000 was the last. I was on 2000, and there was a jury vote.
