Hey, thanks for the praise.  PRC is an older Bro to look up to! 
Good idea!  We could make things easier with a standard Schedule.  On some observations of my own habits for MnP scheduling...  I usually end the round on the 28th each month.  And I vary the voting length from 3-5 days (can make that a fixed thing, easy), so usually spanning to the 2nd or 4th of the following month for Results stage.  If you'd like me to alter that, let me know.  I'm also open to suggestions.  Sure.  Keeping it public works. 
OK.  I'll try not to panic until I see an official announcement from you.  Here's to hoping we continue to get participation. 
And thanks a million DJ Mokram.

I will post the feedback given in the PM’s and the votes in this thread. The winner may choose the source tune for PRC413.
A good number of songs. The next round (412) will start in a few days.

Check the ThaSauce Page to vote or click here to send a PM.
 
I think MnP must continue, it's not destroying PRC or something like that. MnP and PRC are more like brothers. PRC has a long history, but MnP is also doing well for a long time already, I don't want it to disappear.
We should consider to have different deadlines to make sure that they aren't in the same week. Putting MnP on hold doesn't lead to more PRC participants and also the other way around also not.
Currently I'm not considering to stop PRC, the last rounds did well. For now I just keep it up, at least till the end of the year. As mentioned before, if I intend to stop, I will announce it a couple of months before that really will happen. At least I need to reach the 12.5 year PRC organizer milestone (I started after season 5 so this season (17) is my twelfth). So don't worry about that.
I also want this discussion to happen in public, anyone who has ideas to improve the contests is free to share them.
DJ Mokram, your effort is really appreciated.

((...pardon the edits..))
Nice perfect round!!  Gonna go vote now.  We may keep PRC alive. 
By the by, maybe I should set up a poll about how to change up MnP and/or perhaps put it on haitus so the compo scene can stay alive a while longer.  Reason I'm suggesting this is if MnP is hurting the scene by dividing and perhaps overwhelming potential contestants, then I don't mind bowing out.  Just don't want to jump the gun on this, like my usual impulsive self.
BTW Bundeslang, if this sort of participation keeps up, do you intend to keep the show going?  I don't want to shutter my doors and see PRC do the same. 
If you don't want to talk about it publicly, you we can do PM or Discord. 
Voted.

That's what I did understand, but yeah, I do get the misunderstanding here. ^^

Voted ! Nice round, everyone !

I just realized that there's a potential for misunderstanding in my description of my submission. When I said that "I made something totally different from the source melody," I meant that I made a totally different kind of track using the source melody. The source melodies should be prominent and recognizable in my track.

Nice turnout! For what it's worth I also advertised the compo on discord, and if that's cool with @Bundeslang I'll try to keep doing so in the future.

Entry submitted! If I have time I'll do another listen tomorrow to see if I need to do any last minute tweaks.

Bonus Entrant out!

Bonus Entrant out!

Pingas submitted.  In all the wrong places.  Just the way I like it.  Jammin!!
(E) Working on an edit.  Less ADHD.  More pumping.  And airing it out.  Ahhh...
WOW...I assumed this was a Sonic thing for some weird ass reason.  Probably because Sega.  This is refreshing hahahaha.  Stay in school kids.  Don't do drugs.  Actually...do plenty for POTUS 2020-2024. 

McPINGAS.  For Boi's DINNER.  Munf Munf!!

Great stuff! We might get a good turn out this time..

Oh right lol. My bad. 

In previous rounds, I meant to say.  Are you McRibbing me?

You call 4 entries and a bonus entry, a lack of participation?
Get the Mac out of Here! haha.

Oh, I was just being McHammy.  I didn't really want to win, oddly.  Maybe because there hasn't been a lot of participation. 

You still did a good McJob though.
You should be McHappy. lol

I won the 2nd-place Plunger after everyone had the McDumps.  RIP me. 

I also had an idea and started something, thanks to the sample pack!

Don't worry about it, no offense taken or anything. It's all good man. :)

Next round is up.  

Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes)
MIDI: http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/MnP115_supermariogalaxy-floaterlandXGv1.mid
Deadline: July 31st Wed @ 1PM
Vote Ends: August 4th Mon @ 1 PM
MnP ARCHIVE  - made by Trism
submit: http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/MnP115

MISSION STATEMENT
The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required.

MnP Instructions/Guidelines
Covers and Sound Upgrades are permitted. Genre Swaps are fine.  So long as they follow guidelines of rule #3. Most or all of the source notes must be present (but not necessarily in the exact same order), secondly the mood (energy, pacing, feelings being conveyed etc) should also be retained. For example, a source tune that is fast-paced and energetic that's remixed into a mellow/chill-out theme would be a hard sell. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max). Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry. Please don't make any comments about people's entries - including your own - until the Voting process is concluded.  BONUS entries are exempt of this rule. Same rules for PRC voting Stage: don't vote for yourself, be considerate and try to give reasonable feedback as to why you liked X or Y entry.  All competitors and voters must adhere to the rules stated within: Competition Code and Conduct
MISC/TIPS
- When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make ppl's lives easier.
- In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx)

Yay wooden spoon !
GG @Dj Mokram !

Congrats, I've been too busy to submit. Oh well next round yes?
