Event id #3294 : X-2024
I was having a discussion with a few guys over beers in X'2023 and the compos. I was telling about my days as OR8 pilot in the RC world where we had junior, hobby and pro categories for the races.
To make it abit more motivational the people/groups who aren't 20 members strong each with 30+ years of demo coding experience it might be worth while considering other options ?
eg. some of the ideas we discussed:
. Having a pro (ie previous winner category) and hobby section so that contributors are compared to peers of similar experience
. Splitting the voting/ranking for 1 filers from multi disk entries
. Newcomer award for those individuals or teams who never submitted to X before |

Quote: Just hand in the demo _after_ the compo like I did with Drinking Buddies at previous X. :D (Tbh I accidentally placed it in the wrong category and had to beg for it to be shown).

As for ordering in a compo, i find it MUCH more enjoyable to watch if its not just a random mashup but has some sort of buildup. It has been common practise on many (even most?) parties for a while, and it works nicely. Totally random sucks. |

Three cheers for the burg-method!
Quoting TDJIt was sorted by Entropy? The group Wile Coyote used to be part of? So it seems he actually does have some kind of influence on the X-organizers .. All of a sudden I'm taking his suggestions a lot more serious!
:D :D :D |

It is a human quality that people who feel excluded demand to be acknowledged by some existing organization of prestige and tradition. Sometimes there are deep moral and basic rights issues which do have to be discussed, but in my opinion the solution in most cases is obvious.
Set up an organization and rules of your own, you'll get what you want and others might even support that. New religions and nations have born this way. |
