Err, actually it's more about having fun and not worrying too hard on the production side of things - so is that more or less similar to PRC then? Minus allowing people to be too liberal in their remixing . I just changed the voting rules to reflect that ideal haha. But it never hurts to try your best and make it feel OCR-worthy...we're just not compelled to do so here
Nevertheless, I am hoping that voters will be giving at least SOME feedback for why or why not x remix worked over y remix, despite the voting rules being quite loose. Regardless, you can always ask me or any1 else in the compo for more feedback.
So...all in all, this competition is still technically a work in progress itself...heck you could call round 1 a "test round", so the rules and guidelines are subject to change (without destroying the core values of MNP, naturally )
Whew...that was a bigger response than intended.
And I must say, that the turn-out was far bigger than I had ever hoped, so thank you all for participating and I look forward to seeing the results. I love this community now more than ever :3
EDIT
sry Esperado I may have misread what you said, I think you nailed it more or less >.<
