Release id #203390 : Unity

Submitted by Ze Smasher on 25 April 2021
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.

It's also a tradition that drama emerges when organizers win the compo of their party :)
What's the problem again? :) |

As long as there is public voting and not a jury deciding, there is no question of credibility, is there? :) |

Organizing Gubbdata and all; what to do as an orga then? Voting at Gubbdata has always being transparent, and counting and results summed up by Triad or LFT, so noone could call me or GP cheaters. |

And as for juries:
X'2000 -> Xenon 1st
Hard to find out these days when X started to have a jury and when they decided to abandon that practice, but i'm glad they did eventually. =) |

That's a great practice <3 it. I want to be clear, I wasn't accusing you at all, just one of the first parties that came to mind that had (great) releases by a group of one of the organizers. I don't mind this practice at all, especially when it is handled so well. |

topic is not about cheating or else. Public/transparent voting is a fantastic thing. and no drama at all here.
I was just wondering if adding a rule like "organizers can compete but not win the compo" or "organizers can have entries but not compete in the compo" could make sense. |

Why would that make sense? I don't understand. |

organizers can compete and win if they make a better demo than yours, solution is to be better. rest is just whining. ez. |

Why no rule like: "Famous people/groups are not allowed to enter compos because of name-voting"? |

because you are the prize giver AND the prize taker.
you gave us examples that this happened many times and it's common practice. I'm not whining nor complaining and I have no problems accepting that.
It'd be cool to have different examples: parties or csdb compos where the organizer says "we cannot win and/or partecipate". |
