In the old days this was quite common (I even 'joined' House Designs on TP4 so I could enter their demo - which then became last), and I guess the organizers of Floppy realize there will be enough 'creators' present anyway to warrant an active compo. |

So, the rule can be easily shortcutted, I just have to have someone into our group for the time of the party... Anyway its a stupid rule IMHO. Times changed since tp4.
Also Im sure the compo wont be the same with/without a resource production.(tunels are 4ever;) Its lame to kill activity by rules like this. I had a sudden impulse to make something cute for floppy, then heard about this rule. Sounds like an oldschool elitist attitude. If I dont have time/money to get there, then also my production/energy spent for the scene/party is not welcome ? |

i have mixed feelings about this rule. on one hand i respect the organisers decision and i do think that if e-mail entries were allowed then eventually floppy would be no different than any other party. it is a rigid gettogether and a rigid deadline. and that is what makes it special. i do not think the intention is to be discriminative against anyone.
however being someone who barely missed the party due to errors in paperwork completely out of my own control, i can't help but feel left out. it is not equally easy for scandinavian/european sceners and me to make my way to the party.
as a result this rule makes my life definitely harder but i think it should stay the way it is |

It's probably on purpose, so you could have a chance to read "nobody makes demos anymore", or some similar statement, later. |

Not much worth watching at least. |

it's as sign of weakness if the organizers of a party accept email entries. that means that they fear that there will be not enough people present to guaranteem good compos. if a party is strong enough it should be possible to have good compos with just the participants who are physically present. plus, i mean, hey that's the spirit! going at a party to actually deliver something! else there would be no difference between parties and online compos... |

You should call things the right names. Greediness it is. And now please send all your entries to my e-mail, thank you. |

what about some parties were you can only found some ppl with their laptops, converting their music and demos to a 5 1/4 inch disk and all those other ppl sending their wares via email and almost no activity on the party self. THAT is a party
