Rexy

There are 26 PRCs a year (52 weeks divided by the two week duration for each contest). This has been going on for four years now; 26 x 4 = 104. Et viola.

The People's Remix Competition 104 PRCv4-26 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! And this is it peeps, we are at the fourth anniversary! Man, I wonder what reelmojo would think if he saw this compo lasting so long. So yes, having had an entire season under my belt, I can see that PRC faced so many changes in the past year, firstly with the compo preservations (since PRC84 anyway) and the transition to new competition forums, secondly with a transition to using an applet at ThaSauce created by analoq, and thirdly with seeing so many new and old faces plowing on at the compo and providing some polished efforts over the past 12 months. And especially since we're looking at ThaSauce here, they will need an instant way of saying thanks for what they did to help give PRC a bit of a boost start back in May. And so, whoever wins PRC will get their mix an arbiter's pass to Remix: ThaSauce. It may not be much, but at least it's better than bragging rights There were no specifics on source tune provider though; Sir Nuts told me on MSN to go for the most remixed game, and the people on IRC last night clarified which game it was. You saw it coming, lol. Chrono Trigger - Robo Gang Johnny MIDI | MP3 | SPC Well, this is pretty amazing; in spite of it never getting released in PAL territories, it's the most popular game on OCR, so I find that an interesting accomplishment to begin with. And so, let's see if we can make good homage out of this one. Time to get the party poppers out... GOOD LUCK! Fine Print: PRC instructions If you happen to be mixing this song already, start over in the interests of fairness. Limitations at ThaSauce require your image to be 6MB or less in size. Length for length's sake and MIDI rips are not allowed. Entries must be posted in the ThaSauce link by THE TUESDAY AFTER THE NEXT - October 9th at 4:59 am Eastern US Time. You may enter as many mixes as you like and work with as many people as you like on each mix. Do not make qualitative comments on an entry until the results of the vote have been posted. Mixers cannot vote for themselves but if they vote they recieve a free first place vote added onto their score. Doulifée's PRC Archives! If you need help with hosting your mix, contact myself or Doulifée, and we'll help you out.

Right, looks as if I had to break it. Oh well, at least we are now ready to advance to the end of it all - the RESULTS. Total number of votes - 7 Total number of mixes - 4 Highest possible score - 21 Chickenwarlord gets yet another last place wooden spoon with 6 points. Nutritous drifted his way to third place with 15 points. Hylian Lemon only just flew ahead to second place with 16 points. And the winner of PRC103 is DZComposer with 17 points! Well done Adan on your first attmept at PRC and a first subsequent win. It's not every day we see march corps around here, and you managed to deliver for the sake of pulling through as the victor. So, the next thing you need to do is to pick a source tune for PRC105 (yes, 104's anniversary edition is going as planned even though I'm not quite prepared for it yet). It can be anything, as long as the song isn't covered on OCR, whether it be a song from a game already covered (e.g. Starfox 64 Zoness) or one from a game not covered yet (e.g. Starfox Command - Krystal's theme). Site projects aren't counted, so tracks like the ending theme for Donkey Kong Country are still fair game. Hurry up with the source tune - you only have until October 12th. And so, as we are about to leave another PRC season behind, the anniversary is starting to swing by. Check back tomorrow to see it in action.

Whichever happens, we have a THREE WAY TIE and the voting will end in 40 minutes (ignore the ThaSauce timer, it seems to be operating on Pacific time for some reason). Who's going to get in and separate them?

How the Hell is he doing that? I thought ThaSauce has got the votes safely guarded O.o

Well, a part of Russia IS in Eastern Europe, but I was looking more at the Scandinavian regions (Norway, Sweden, Finland etc). I don't know which region in Russia Sleepy Emp is from though.

D'oh, I swear someone in the PRC/ORC crowd was from North-Eastern Europe o_O() Now that I think of it, I think I got you mixed up with Cyan for some reason. Oh well...

It's still being used for storage, at least until when VGMix3 comes out. At some point in the next month I will go back in there and clean it out, so trust me on that. Even now I'm currently in the progress of transferring all finished Dragon Quest project files to my computer, so I will have them ready to pass over to whomever would have the guts to take over the project. But anyway, I uploaded Nutritious's entry myself. I can't believe how frustrating that was, but either way, ThaSauce voting is online!

I only did it that way so that we would give Nutritious a chance to host his entry on the servers. Oddly enough, given his scandinavian origins I thought he would have hosted it by now. Theo, I know that the shirts haven't come through. I have everything ready, but money was an issue for some time. The shirts will come, but it'll have to be after I get into employment and receive my first paycheck, which will at least be before the year is out.

It looks as if ThaSauce is back online. Hylian Lemon and Nutritious, please upload your entries to the server ASAP. So yes, that means that the mixing stage is over. It's time to get to the voting stage. While we wait for Ben and Justin to send their finished works to ThaSauce, you will need to PM me your votes for the time being. Regardless, you will need to pick out three mixes and place them from first to third; ThaSauce requires a reasoning, so I won't be any different. Contestants don't need to place their own works in, as they will automatically get three points for themselves if they vote. The winner of PRC102 (TheoConfidor) gets their vote counted twice. You have until Tuesday, September 25th at 4:59AM EST to cast your vote. I still don't know what to do for prizes for PRC104 (hopefully not bragging rights), though suggestions would be nice. If the 4th Anniversary event DOES go down as planned, then the winner of PRC103 will choose the source material for PRC105! Chickenwarlord - Pocketsized Circuit DZComposer - Marching Through Sky Garden Hylian Lemon - I'll Blow Your House Down Nutritious - Good Night Racers

I never knew that ThaSauce acted as one of the FF7 project mirrors; still this is weird, I never thought I'd see this happening to such a major information site. In the event that you can't get it through on ThaSauce, a direct link will have to suffice; I'll then do the old fashioned way of getting the entries on Doulifee's web server and receiving votes by means of PM, although taking in the current voting system to account.

The People's Remix Competition 103 PRCv4-25 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! And... what the Hell? We're almost at the end of season 4? I don't even know what to do for PRC104 when it comes to the sweepstakes!! Anyway, the previous PRC saw some obscure Sierra material via Firehawk, and admist the turnout TheoConfidor pulled through with his first win, lending his hands to a little bit of a rock interpretation. So for PRC103, he came through with his first choice of source. I know that the titular character in this title had already made an appearance in PRC101, but with Sonic appearing in two PRCs in a row earlier on this season, anything can go! Mario Kart Super Circuit - Sky Garden GSF (library) | MIDI | MP3 So yes, here we go from paper-thin character designs in a cute yet fun adventure/RPG to a solid GBA succession to one of few noteworthy non-adventure Mario spin-offs. I hope you'd find much from this one GOOD LUCK! Fine Print: PRC instructions If you happen to be mixing this song already, start over in the interests of fairness.

A lot of PRCs these days have been pretty quiet, so three is like a good feeling when it comes to getting the mixers to vote as well. But either way, the time for voting is up! Let's see what we can make of the final tabulation, heh. Total number of mixes - 3 Total number of votes - 8 Highest possible score - 24 Alex Smith struggled his way into third place with 9 points. Hylian Lemon took his afro wig to second place with 17 points. And the winner by an unanimous decision is TheoConfidor with 24 points! Well done on your first win, Theo. It took a few breaks into the competition but I'm glad you managed to pull through with a first win. So here's what you need to do now - you need to send me a PM with your source tune choice for PRC103. It can be any song as long as it isn't covered on OCR yet (songs on site projects don't count so stuff like Vegetable Valley in Kirby's Adventure is still fair game). Thanks very much for your time everyone, and I hope to see you all again for the next PRC this weekend.

The mixing stage is over. And now it's time to vote. Here's what you need to do. - Sign up at ThaSauce if you haven't done so already. - Visit the link in the PRC rules and arrange the three entries from first to third. - State a reasoning to back it up. - Click 'submit vote' and follow this tip: never clean up after yourself the minute you wake up as it would make you grumpy and clumsy at the same time. You have until Tuesday, September 11th at 4:59AM EST to cast your vote. The winner will choose the source tune for PRC103! Alex Smith - The Mission with Deadly Consequences Hylian Lemon - Deadly Disco in the Dark TheoConfidor - Thexter's Crusade

Alex Smith - The Mission with Deadly Consequences Hylian Lemon - Deadly Disco in the Dark TheoConfidor - Thexter's Crusade The People's Remix Competition 102 PRCv4-24 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! PRC101's Paper Mario based round seemed to be sparser than Forever Forest itself, though that didn't stop Chickenwarlord from creeping in (pun intended) and taking his first PRC win. So how do you think he could make a mark with his choice for PRC102? Here he's gone for a Sierra classic title, though sadly it's not in the same vein as Quest for Glory or Leisure Suit Larry. I hope you still find interest with it though. Fire Hawk - Thexter: The Second Contact - Mission 3 MIDI | MP3 I really gotta apologise for the late start, fokes. Turns out that my afternoon schedule left little time to get the PRC started, though I swear that this would never happen again. GOOD LUCK!

Voting time is over. Now, who got out of the woods first? >.> Total number of mixes - 2 Total number of votes - 5 (wut?) Highest possible score - 10 The winner by an unanimous vote is Chickenwarlord with 10 points! Not much competition this time around, but I'm glad we saw it shape up in one piece. Well done on your first win. Now you'll need to pick a source tune for PRC102 - I plan to get it started by tomorrow lunchtime, so between now and then I want you to make your choice. It can be any song that hasn't been covered on OCR - can be an uncovered song from a known game, or it could be really obscure, but it's your choice at the end of the day. (Site projects don't count, so stuff like Sonic 2 Hill Top Zone for example is still fair game.) Thanks for your time and I hope to see you all back here tomorrow.

Even though the project has gone on for so long, I'm still in anticipation to hear it all in its released form. Not only that, but I'm now destined to actually invest on Tales of Symphonia once I get my hands on a Wii and a set of Gamecube peripherals

Seems like we're heading into another one of those weak PRC turnouts. Anyway... The mixing stage is over. And the voting stage has begun. All you do is the following: - Sign up at ThaSauce if you haven't done so already. - Make your choice between the two contestants. - A reasoning would help your clarification. - Submit the vote and try and plead for any British Bank Holidays in America, or something. You have until Thursday, August 30th to make your vote. The winner gets to choose the source material for PRC102! Legibles Chickenwarlord - Temporary Forest Radiowar - untitled mix (a remix of the song entitled forever forest) Illegibles Hylian Lemon - Gutsy Ghost

I see what you mean, but regardless though, the competition is still going to see a time extension. I will give you all one more day to try and come up with something with the source, otherwise Chickenwarlord will win by default.

This is just odd. PRC has been quiet for the past 5 days or so, and I see that the forum structure has changed a bit again. Is anyone actually working on something?

I managed to upload it in your place (and changed the name field afterwards). I got the same message as well, though it was nothing that a re-encoding of the MP3 wouldn't fix. What do you use to encode your files btw? Maybe that might be the problem.

The People's Remix Competition 101 PRCv4-23 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! We're plowing into the triple figures pretty well, I think. With PRC100 done and dusted, all that's left is for the formerly anonymous contestants to host their mixes and that is that. Recapping to PRC99, Hylian Lemon scored his second win with what seemed like a cuter entry than the competition but got a lot of brownie points from his peers nonetheless. So it's only fair that that approach matches with Ben's choice for PRC101's source tune. How can you imagine the team behind Advance Wars to make something as colorful as this...? Paper Mario - Forever Forest Theme MIDI | MP3 | USF (library) Let me add a brief word of advice for anyone reading this thing - never, and I repeat, NEVER play it on an emulator. Sure there's the usual "buy it yourself" comment, but a lot of graphical effects are missing as well, making it a little buggy and whatnot. Ey... ramble over. GOOD LUCK!

Time's up. It's time to total the points and see which one swung into first place. Plus, we're also going to reveal who did the individual songs. Total number of mixes - 4 Total number of votes - 6 (wut?) Highest possible score - 18 Jaybell sent Flashing Blue Bits into last place with 7 points. Anorak and his work with Bad Bb Bricolage were assigned for third place with 10 points. GSlicer wrote August and reached second place with 15 points. And the winner of PRC100, with 16 points, is Uncanny Orchestra by Nutritious! Wow, I never thought that an anonymous contest would end up in this much of a pickle Justin, you managed to work well. I'm assuming by Larry's reactions to your work for PRC99 that you could have potential to polish up your track for Dirge, so you know what to do. The rest of the path is all up to you on how to impress the pubefro master. PRC101 will be launched in 7 hours. For now, I will open the ThaSauce link for the contestants to upload their entries to the server. Sorry for any hassle relating to TS's system, and I hope to see you all again this afternoon.

No worries, Aaron. I just never realised the server would act that way to be honest. Either way, sure, I'll discuss with you beforehand prior to getting something launched. I don't even have a clue how the ThaSauce servers might even react, so this is what's going to happen. This PRC's voting will end as normal early Saturday morning, and once that happens I will give the contestants the opportunity to host their tracks on the ThaSauce servers. Due to concern relating to any potential alteration of the standard PRC signature when it comes to timings and whatnot, PRC101 will also begin tomorrow as well. I might as well mention it here before I get any mass mail saying "when's PRC101 coming" and stuff like that.

The problem is, I discovered the fact that multiple entries are impossible at ThaSauce. I did consider trying to make multiple accounts, however in spite of operating with duplicates the system still says that the Anonymous PRC account "has already entered". Odds are the server would sense IP numbers rather than user names, interestingly enough.
