  1. If "at all times" you mean a ReMix has to be arranging from the source material at any point in the track no matter what, that's completely wrong. That would leave no leeway for original writing/sections.

    Club Showdow: That was our mistake in the first place. Once BGC gave a breakdown along with a comparison MP3, the connections were apparent, plus his revisions did more in the first part to connect the arrangement to the original.

    Rhodes to the Past: More of a case of being too close than being unconnected.

    Strolling the Mines: The original additions would have been fine if the melody itself hadn't been near-verbatim and the instrumentation hadn't been practically the same as the original.

    I meant more along the lines that if there's a minute of original material, the melody plays, another minute of original material, the melody plays again with a lot of interpretation, and a final minute of original material, the song would probably be rejected. Maybe my simplification is too facile, but that is recognizable and probably considered dominant if the original is acting as a refrain, but it isn't connected to the rest of the new material. I cited Rhodes to the Past because if memory serves correct there was concern that it was a sweet intro that had little to do with 600 A.D. acting as virtually the entirety of the arrangement.

  2. yeah except they still haven't banned PP and Yami Yoshi

    c'mon if you guys want the site to be more mature then why don't you delete some users too

    sounds like a good idea to me

    we don't break the rules that actually exist. i was warned once in ppr and that doesn't count. i was warned once after accidentally posting a thread in communism i meant for offtopic and it appeared to be a fad thread when it wasn't.

    if i wasn't posting in offtopic it would LITERALLY be just atomic dog. do you want that.

    if certain mods actually want to talk with me in general I am online nightly and always willing to CHAT but some of them are uptight and don't answer im's.

  3. The source material must be identifiable and dominant.
    • Arrangement must not completely modify the source material beyond recognition.
    • The amount of arranged source material must be substantial enough to be recognized.

    from reading the judge's decision threads it **seems** to me this guideline doesn't go far enough. that is different than "recognizable" or even "dominant". my perception is that a remix must demonstrate some semblance of a connection with the source at all times. instances where this has not been fulfilled entirely have resulted in needed revisions (club showdown), near-rejections (rhodes to the past), and being partially responsible for outright removals (strolling the mines).

    precise wording as to how you feel on the issue would be helpful above and beyond the clauses in the current draft.

  4. ...if only I made the title of this thread "vertical scroller soundscape"

    Then half the responses wouldn't be, "YOU NOOB THIS IS NOTHING LIKE NES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    Yes, people. I KNOWWWW that the NES fanboys will hear a world of difference, but to my friend down the street, for example, will say "hey this sounds like an old game"

    GOSH!!! *slaps forehead in disappointment*

    I refuse to listen to them on account of the maker acting like a complete tool.
