Plus it puts pressure on us. I'm not playing to win, I'm just playing to play.

But Lucavi00 is an awesome guy and I'm sure he didn't intend for it to come across in a bad way.

Brandon's right. Lucavi had been supporting Brandon since the beginning, so surely there was no malicious intent. We'll get this resolved.

That's not the point, the point is posting stuff like that is a real downer for the people he's not rooting for. I'd be pissed if I was in Gario or Amph's shoes. And hell, I'm still a little pissed on their behalf anyway. Everyone who's made it this far has more than proved themselves to be talented musicians, and the rounds are totally up in the air. "Calling it" is basically saying there's mixers who are clearly better than others competing, and that's just not the case here. And even if it WAS the case, it's still a dick move to rub it in someone's face.

There's been a lot of beating around the bush, but I'm just shooting straight. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all," to quote everybody's mother

I mean, come on guys... nobody wants to be undermined. And that's ALL that's been going on lately. I'm sick of it. Everyone who's being a poor sport, knock it off. It's a competition, we're here to be pitted against each other. But we're here to be pitted against each other FOR FUN, not to shit on each other. Cut it out

Nail on the head.

Stay humble, people.

Since when did this turn into a subject of being humble? All Lucavi did was stated a prediction, and I am aware that it was wrong for Gario and Amph, but that's what happens when we're down to the last two in each bracket - it's either black or white.

I'm pretty sure the right thing to do would be to just wait til he comes back in here and address the concerns himself, rather than everyone here just suddenly starting to get defensive all over again. That's not what I want to see in the last 36 hours >.<

This is the main reason why I lost interest in this compo and my last track wasn't that well mixed. It's pretty hurtful to hear people imply that you're not as good.

It wasn't all meant for Lucavi, those were general statements. That post was just the one to make me say "Ok, enough is enough; we're all musicians here with a common interest, and this shit shouldn't be happening, ever."

When people start feeling like this, it's time to speak up. So I did

EDIT: and Rexy.. you can't tell me you wouldn't be up in arms if he'd predicted B-Strade vs. Amph...

:P

Oh come on Wildfire, I know it's a hurtful process but that's what happens with the growth of a musician. I mean, to even go up against halc and defeat him really shows how much your capabilities are growing, and you've been a pleasant surprise throughout this entire contest.
I really hope you'll be able to keep developing as a solo artist

[EDIT: PH, if I was in that situation... I'd keep quiet in here or try and divert the subject :P]

couldn't you have just as easily posted the compliments and left out this part where you invalidate her feelings? people are allowed to feel hurt during competitions; we've all felt that way at some point

[oh, and I don't believe you :P]
