Threw in a quick vote as well!

My vote is in.

Ok i'm giving this a few extra days to allow for more late entries. The round appears closed, but the box is open for submitting. 

If i had like 4 participants then sure, this wouldn't be needed. But everyday i look at this and think to myself. "Why am i doing this if nobody is gonna show up?". I tried to hold out, but in the end, i said sod it, and made the decision to pull the plug. 
By the way the poll isn't saying should MnP be gone for good. It's saying, if an On Demand model is better than the current model. Basically if you want to remix a VG Source, you message me, and i get the round up for you. That's basically it. So you'll still have the opportunity to make a MnP round, it just won't be regularly. 
Thanks for the support man, you've been amazing, i really appreciate it. Here's to the future.

Truth is, it's becoming a bit draining making rounds for what is gonna be no entries. I have a lot of stuff going on in the real world, and unless there was significant buzz, i feel like this is just getting popped up for the sake of it. So the poll i've made was kind of asking, if it's fine with the current format or if it's better on demand, and so far from the results, it's very likely it will be on demand. This means if you want to remix a video game source, you message me, and i will set up the round, compared to what it always has been, which is a round ever month. You could try the discord, but i think i'll just let it run it's course. It's been a fun couple of years running this, and even more fun participating when HoboKa was around. Maybe i just don't have the drive i used to, because of how many people are not entering. Thanks for the support anyways. 

The last round yielded no results. I tried to prolong this for as long as possible, but it seems nobody is interested, so i eventually decided to move on. This was meant to be on the 1st of October, but i had a lot of commitments on, and also, i was stubborn enough to give it one more shot in hopes of receiving any entries, but it wasn't meant to be. I've finally managed to get my act together and prepare the Halloween special. Better late than never.
As you may know, October time means it's Halloween! So it's time to do another one of our Halloween special rounds! As i did with the last round, this is gonna be completely different, and it's gonna be one hell of a show. Let's see what we have in store!
Ok so in this round you will be tasked in remixing any Halloween based theme from any SONIC or MARIO game. This can be in the form of a level, a boss theme or even a track that's not a stage theme, but plays a significant role in the game. To help you here's what i'm looking for:
Any musical piece that is a main proponent of any SONIC or MARIO Game, that is very spooky and embodies the themes and ideas of Halloween. The track must be a main part of the game. So no minor cutscene music, jingles, or small elements that don't make up the game. The music and the stage must be related to the concept of Halloween related items, like Ghost's and Vampires etc. I cannot accept normal video game music. It must be deliberately spooky. The track is an official part of the game, i won't accept Fan Hacks or Fan Made games. No crossover games. It's either a Mario source, or a Sonic source. Any source from any genre, in any length is accepted. It just needs to be a Halloween type piece from a Sonic or Mario game.
These rules are there to ensure that this is a Halloween based round, and some user uploading a random Sonic remix, if you catch my drift. Halloween encompasses many ideas and traditions, so you will definately not be short on musical ideas.
Conditions in regards to submitting:
None of the rules in regards to source/remix selection apply here, since it's a Halloween round, however the standard uploading rules for ThaSauce (20mb size, MP3 etc...) remain as normal. You can remix more than one source in this round, but i will only accept a maximum of 3 submissions. This round and any other special rounds bares no relation to any of the sister compo's and/or it's affiliates (Such as PRC And that's it really. I'm here for any questions you may have, and i'm willing to guide you into opening up your own creative ideas for this round. There will never be a limitation of the music you can make that is based off the wonderful traditions of Halloween. Good luck guys, and remember to have fun!
Here's a concrete list to any levels featured in the SONIC series:

Here's a concrete list to any levels featured in the MARIO series:

MIDI files for Mario games:
https://themushroomkingdom.net/midi.shtml
MIDI files for Sonic games:
There isn't a database specifically for Sonic Games, but if you go to https://www.vgmusic.com/, find the video game system your game is from, and then scroll to your game you'll be able to find it. CTRL + F is also a good way to search for things.
Note: Make sure you write down the Game Name and the Source Name in the description so we know who did what. There is also no rules in regards to any duplicate sources. So i'm ok with 3 people doing the same source etc.
Because there were no submissions in the last round, Double Dose will not be applicable.
Deadline: 31st October @ 1PM
Closing Date: 2nd November @ 1PM

MnP ARCHIVE  - made by Trism 
submit: https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/MnP142
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
Guidelines:
Modifying the Source is fine, so long as it doesn't sound completely separate from its original intent.  If you're gonna do a genre change, at least make sure the original aspect of the source is not lost. Tempo changes are fine, as long as it's not a big change. I'm talking like, going from 80bpm to 140bpm.  Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max), and submitted as a MP3 file. Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry.  Try to avoid making quality-based comments on submissions until after the Round is concluded.  It is to avoid a Bias in Votes. For this round you can remix more than one source. Do make sure you let me know which source(s) you've picked in the submission notes. MISC/TIPS
- When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make people'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)

I was sick of making rounds for one entry or non. I kept asking "Why am i doing this?" when nobody was entering.
The MnP Round 141 had almost like a full 2-3 months of extensions, and nobody was still submitting. I felt the day's of at least 3 entries were gone.
People are probably not as into the PRC and MnP scene as they used to be, probably because they grew up, got a job, or had other musical projects they need to commit to. They probably didn't have the time or the drive to do this anymore. Thanks for the support man, anyways! A part of me didn't want to do it, but in the end i just...gave up. It was a lot of fun though, thanks all for sticking with me! Your compliments are commended, and i appreciated the support you've given to me, as well as the opportunity. Thanks for everything! Here's to the future!

Thanks everyone for their input in this topic. It's very much appreciated, also good to see some of the participants in early PRC rounds still being around here and checking it out.
I'm pretty sure I made the right decision to make this a final last round of the competition. And of course I will enter myself as well, but (as always) don't expect a remix which will pass the OC Remix judges without a NO vote. Good to see that the first song is already there.

The feeling is mutual. Yeah, not really feeling it either. If it's time for PRC and MNP to pass on into the ether, then it's time. Pretty burnt out myself on the compo hosting thing, so I know how that feels heh. Thanks for filling in for me TVG - and whatever happens, happens - as they say. Cheers~

Btw, I'll enter this round with my alias, BRKPNT.
Submitted one real quick. Not the last one I'll post

@H36T
Sad day
But I'm down. I've got an older remix that I'll put up and I'll see about doing another.

what?
Damn..
I think that one of the reasons for prc ending really has to do with the weird/complicated songs people choose. Waaaay back a lot of the source songs were a lot more simple, catchy and just easier for newcomers to try out mixing for the first time. Every month i pop in to see what the source is, and it is always just something i dont like, or something so new that no beginner is going to show up and think they can do something with it. I dunno, i really liked when ORC was around, mixing each others original music was a lot more fun to me. 
I'm not sure how to really explain it better right now. this is just my opinion
Since it really is the last one, and a free round at that, i'll try to make something.
 

(EDIT...I hit enter too soon LOL)
Sounds fair. Sucks it has to be this way, but the compo scene was definitely in a downturn since probably as far back as 2014, though there were some definite upticks here and there. I'll defer to your decision with MnP, TVG.
As for PRC, it has been a wild ride and some seriously good times and kick-ass remixes. Thanks for being such an awesome host @Bundeslang
(EDIT 2) I'd like to add that you were very patient with the more difficult participants (myself included, at times). You've shown nothing but class and aimed to keep the experience a positive one, despite the BS that came your way from time to time lol. You are a true gentleman and scholar Bundeslang. Pardon the 2nd edit, I am having a hard time gathering my thoughts and overcoming my anxiety all at once lol.
I was planning on just coasting along and doing nothing for the rest of the year, but that will have to change, considering the situation... I'd be remiss not to add an entry. Hopefully Bundeslang will be joining in for the fun too!

I feel like that the notion of PRC ending, has brought upon a massive reunion of both new and old participants which makes me both sad and happy. Let's hope the final round goes off with a bang.

damnnnnn the last round?! this compo taught me so much about music making. i never even ended up being a posted remixer but this compo was a great one. kudos to you for keeping it going so long. Its been a long time, but i finally have ableton again and ill try to get a real gem in for this 

We're getting the band back together 

Can't say I've been very active, life going on, kids, work and stuff like that so I couldn't have enough time for this.
But I'm quite glad I could participate a little to those rounds.
I'm in. Down for a last one.
Strap in guys. I'll make multiple entries I think.

It's been fun making music here. It'll be a last goodbye for me too, my everyday duties take me way too much time to continue making music so I need to step down and this feels like the perfect way to end this.

*Staggering out of foggy internet cave with undone tie and pizza-stained-shirt* I'm in for the last hurrah! Composing for PRC was a great experience and I really appreciate the community for making little events like this, it was great to mingle with other artists, so thanks to Bundeslang and everyone else involved with running this!
