Event id #3365 : Lovebyte 2024
Lovebyte is coming :)
As the C64 is still underrepresented in this sizecoding-dedicated demoparty (a little less last year with my humble efforts ;) ), please consider joining the competitions with your tiny entries :) It would be so awesome to witness more Commodore entries from seasoned, active coders! Our platform really gives a nice challenge when it comes to those tiny intros ;) |

Compos are being created on demand. When enough ppl want to release this and that, organizers will make a compo for it. That Evoke doesn't explicitly lists PETSCII only means: there has been no demand for it.
In the case of Evoke, i'd say over 80% of the visitors are regulars that know the Orgas personally, and for many years - so what you say simply isn't a problem. In particular the (admittedly not so many) people from the C64 scene that visit it all know this. And the one guy i remember from C64 scene, who visits Evoke, that has made PETSCII before would usually enter with an ANSI in that compo (and never with a PETSCII, not on other Parties either).
And none of this changes that both PETSCII and 4Ks are pretty much quite established :) |

Quoting wacekQuoting KrillOkay, so would something like Srpnsk [16 bytes] be a-okay with Lovebyte rules, and does the load address ($0082) count? :) In case of 8b,16b,32b,64b header is excluded. So in fact you'd have some extra bytes to spare ;) So, that'd make the mentioned example a 14-byte entry as per Lovebyte rules, with 2 more bytes to spare, yeah? :) |

(Conversely, only 1 or 2 entries in a compo will cause that compo to be merged with another compo.) |

Actually, at the parties where i was involved into organising compos, it was more like "2 entries" at least - the 3rd would be a silly compofiller (made by me perhaps) :) (This might not work at Evoke, since no more C64 sceners are involved AFAIK) |

I am sorry, maybe there were/are some parties like this, but that is not defacto standard. It's a bold claim that might be true with Evoke, but it's not true with most parties. And we both have similar amount of parties under our belt. |

What happened when you (and 2 other dudes) kindly asked for an extra compo with 3 releases in hand? |

It should also go without saying, that the bigger the party, the more early *before the party* you'll have to approach the organizers. |

Quoting KrillIn which way exactly was your experience different? What happened when you (and 2 other dudes) kindly asked for an extra compo with 3 releases in hand? The compos did not happen. Or in case of parties like Astrosyn or Quast, compos happened but were totally ignored in results and reward ceremony.
Other times "we have no category on the vote sheet" was one of the answers.
I think you and Groepaz have goldfish memory, building your perspective on the last few years where many aspects of the scene (especially platform crossover) shifted dramatically, including approach from the organizers. |
