About the comment:
You are now allowed to comment anytime EXCEPT during the voting stage..
that mean that once a mix is posted, you can feedback it, until the submission process is over. Remixer are able to fix/enhance it until the deadline. The date in the PM/Email will be used to upload the most recent one.

About a draw in the result:
It happen sometime. Both remixer are still officially Winner, but i'll ask the remixer with the less "Win" to send me his song.

...And I just killed orc once again

[JH Sounds]

I'd enter, but I'd hate to potentially ruin a winning streak.

[Gario]

Woo Hoo!

I didn't know if I was gonna enter, but now that I've got something sweet moving along, it looks like I'm gonna have to!

Yay, ORC115 is moving foward!

just wondering, if whoever wins the next round - can they make their midi much less complex than this one? T_T

[Doulifée]

i dunno if i'll continue the contest due to the few entry and the quasi-non-existent vote. :/

Consider that this midi was submitted right after the winter break, it was probably just bad timing for everybody (celebrating new year, starting school/work again, presidential inauguration, etc.). You can also notice a considerable slowdown in the forums in general because of these things. Regulars are coming back to the forums in greater numbers again, so they will probably give this more attention than this last month.

Edit: Looking at other competitions, it looks like it has a lot of periods of 'ups' and 'downs'. What would you expect? Unlike the PRC or anything else out there, the things that get posted here have absolutely no restrictions, implied or not. Thus, the music that needs to be mixed may sometimes be very difficult to do so (as was the case this time around, due to the relatively complex harmonies and disjoint melody). I'm not saying that anything posted here is bad, just difficult to remix. Imagine if someone posted this for the PRC. Few (if any) would mix it due to the difficulty of remixing it, and the competition would die that time around. That's why fewer of the PRC's die out like this - people don't post much music there that would be ultimately too difficult to do.

(I'd get a better quality one, but can't find one right now :P)

ORC, on the other hand, people make what they can, and if it's too difficult to mix, tough! They can't generally help what they write, so there are many cases (like this one) where the mix is too difficult to handle, and the competitiongoes down that month.

I'm just saying, don't let one bad competition ruin the entire thing for everyone... I just found this, and I love it. It would be depressing if it died out now
