Come one, come all, to a place of love, comfort and death's warm embrance...
Woah, that got a bit too real, erm... Anywho, BreakingGround(MMAbulldog) and I are holding a remix contest for his collab with tyrant(CGtoTHEMAXX), "THIS FEELIN'". The contest ends on the 30th of NOVEMBER(yes, I know the promo poster says NOV. 31. Sorry, I'm a dumb XP), so be sure to grab the song if you haven't all ready! Oh, I almost forgot to say, the judges(aside from BG and I) are Breezy-the-Pro and X_DISARMED_PR0_X, so just contact them on LBP or PSN or Twitter or here on the forum or through courier pigeon or whatever works for you!


Where to get the song!: https://lbp.me/v/qny4bv4


RULES:

-SUPER IMPORTANT: Must have (THISFEELIN'REMIXCONTEST) in the title!(it helps us find the level easier)

-Must be published before 29th(the 30th is when we publish the winners)

-Don't spam.

-???

-Be nice.

If everyone abides to these rules, this will be a great contest!

Have fun!
-BG & A/Z

good stuff man. i may actually enter just for fun

I will enter, might be fun! 

Do we have to use the lyrics?

You don't have to, but ut'll be really cool to hear them in it!

should I get on my mic and try singing them into a recorded mouth?

that would be interesting to say the lest lol

ooo I have a legitimate question here.. I thought BG was still confined to LBP2.. is he on PS4 now and I just didn't know? lol

basically what i'm asking is (because it's not specified for sure), the song can be made in LBP3, right?

Yes, he has LBP3 for PS4 and yes, it can be made on LBP3.

cool. plus I know of a couple people that have already started and probably haven't even said anything about it yet lol. this contest is actually picking up a little traction. i'll maybe try and get the word around about it on my end as well

thank you, this will be a great contest!

Just found out that since I have 1,000+ hearts I am not eligible for 1st place. Not entering anymore since I do not have a fair chance at winning because of my status on LBP.

Good luck contestants (under 1,000+ hearts that is). 

At least you have 1,000+ hearts! I'm sorry. Okay. I can't watch this tread progress anymore. I'm in.

I understand your issue with that rule, but you gotta remember this is MMA's first contest, he really doesn't know what he's doing and just wants the unknown acts to be more in the limelight and the rules are still in the works, so we'll probably throw out that rule for this issues like this. Sorry if we've angered you.

-A/Z

hmm.. the "known" musicians aren't necessarily the best or most active at the moment compared to some of the newer people. there was a similar rule with hyps contest and.. honestly, it was pretty lame rule

    As I do understand it is to put out the unknown musicians into a very dim possibly broken spotlight, 1. MMA most likely won't help them anyway considering even he is unknown throughout the majority of LBP who is not involved with music, and 2. I am known for levels and not music. In fact, I have never gotten 100 plays on anything strictly musical compared to my platformers which have exceeded 30,000.
    It didn't anger me specifically, I just feel that it is unjust. I enter a "music" contest but have absolutely no chance of winning because I am judged on my "status" and not my actual song. It may be his first contest but the fact a music contest is not won by music proves a lot.

I feel this side rule should have been added in the first place so I wouldn't have wasted days on end working on a song.

What rule?

yeah, he had good intention of the rule, but we're seeing the issues with it being put into place, so we might throw it out all together instead of the modifier he put on to it(2 contests, one for "big dogs"(more know creators) and one for "little dogs"(lesser known)). I'll speak more with him and see I get this changed. Sorry for wasting your time Zk.



What rule?


it was a rule that was gonna be explained more in a level, but were still working on it. It pretty much says that if you're a well known creator(500+) you'll only be limited to 2nd and 3rd place. It's a dumb rule, we know, but he had good intention on it, we just didn't orchestrate it well enough :\
And the rules in the forum post is just a plain overview of rules every contest has.



Yeah, its a dumb rule but again, he had good intentions of it. Not realizing it messes over A LOT of people.

This post about the contest was made far before I was ready. I hadn't figured out the rules, and I'm still working on a level. This was bound to cause confusion, frustration, and a rough start to the contest, and for that, I apologize. 

I'm going to attempt to set things straight here. The rules from here on out are: 1. Your deadline is November 30th. All entries posted after that will be disqualified and denied a prize of any sort. 2. You may not give out your remix as a prize until the contest is over. Once again, if this rule is broken, you will be disqualified. 3. There will be two divisions. If you are a well known musician (500+ hearts as a creator, team picked gallery, etc) you will be entered in the "Pros" division. If you are a lesser known musician, you will be entered in the "amateurs" division. There will be one Winner in each category, each of which will be awarded a spot on the "This Feelin" Remix EP alongside my VIP mix and Disarmed Pro's Remix, as well as 1 collaboration with me if said Winner is interested (If I dislike the way you act towards me as we attempt to work together, I have the right to dissolve said collaboration and block you). If you have a problem with any of the rules mentioned above, please do not enter the contest.

Hope this helps. Thank you, and have a great day.

Watch Zk yell at you now lmao.

I WILL YELL AT YOUUU!!!   
Nah, it honestly didn't make me mad, I was just bummed and annoyed.

I think this makes a lot more sense now. and now that it's 500+, i'm apparently in the "big dog" category now lol.

I have one more question for you two.. there's an interesting situation here with one of the people entering. SUPERSONICpsiii has close to 800 hearts on that old account... but he was also permanently banned from that account and is now using an account that has less than 100 hearts.. where does his "status" sit? and what about others that are known for having multiple accounts that they release content on? this sort of brings up a strange potential issue.

Hm, we'll need to speak more on that, but we'll probably just make an acceptation for them and put them in the "Big Dog" category.

Ah well, hopefully this helps and you enter, we would love to hear your interpretation of this song!

Well, to be honest that doesn't make sense. Even if he has an old account that happens to fall under the "big dog" category he doesn't have it anymore. So technically he isn't a big dog anymore.

He has shown the ability to acquire a large audience due to his skill, thus having a large quantity of hearts on his other account. That's the whole point of hearts; a badge to pride yourself on for being skillful. His opposite account proves that. In a sense, he is "a big dog." Taking a chef's five star restaurant doesn't revert him back into a bad chef.

I'm pretty sure you just don't want sanic in your category knowing he'll kick it, lol. Good luck regardless.

I'm not entering, I decided that when I found out about the status disqualification. If the rule is added that past accounts count against you as well I am going to laugh. This "music" contest seems to be more about "popularity" than actual music. I can't fathom entering something that is a huge joke. Yes, now there are two winners in two categories. Just more evidence that this contest is a waste of my time. Luckily a few people agreed with me and dropped out as well. I was only entering for fun, I never expected to win. Yet, it is still not fair to enter having absolutely no chances of winning. A tip MMA, next time you have a music contest, focus on music?

Well, it was a joke to begin with in my opinion.

Also, your analogy makes no sense and would be quite offensive to the underdogs if you thought about the way you used it. A better analogy would be, "if a police officer takes your driver's license away you aren't a driver anymore." 
It isn't because I don't want anyone to win, in fact more power to him. I was saying it shouldn't matter how many hearts he doesn't have anymore, I was saying it shouldn't affect him because he didn't enter as that person. He would enter as an underdog account, which by the standards, qualifies him for the underdog position.
I am saying this contest is a joke not because I want to be rude, it truly is. It's unfair, biased, and rigged as much as it can go in a contest. That qualifies it to be a waste of my time.

No need to be condescending about it; let's keep it civil here.

The contest is simply a medium to bring musicians together and admire each other's work. It's about appreciating the skills of your peers and broadening your horizons. If you never cared about winning, yet seem to have a problem with there being no chance of you winning, you're lying to yourself. 

MMA is a teenager, not the head manager of a label. Stop being entitled and cut him some slack. Let him run his contest how he sees fit. There has been a heart limit for almost all other music contests and very few people have complained. You're in the minority.

Also, my analogy works fine. I myself was an underdog for HYPS Contest, and I won. I get it, as do others. A master chef has proven that he is a master, his restaurant being physical proof (hearts). Some may argue their grandmothers can cook (compose) better, yet lack the exposure the chef may have. That doesn't make them bad chefs, just unknown. Isn't that the point of a contest? Exposure? How is that offensive? Learn some reading comprehension please before you criticize others.

EDIT: Except for the fact that sanic is the same person, despite accounts. Same skill. Why do you care about what he is entered as if you don't care about who wins and who doesn't?

Bottom line, MMA has posted the rules in the manner he wants to, get over it. Enter or don't enter, but for the sake of this thread, stop arguing. Peace.

yea.. I don't like the splitting up of hearted versus not hearted, but at least there'll be two categories. but yea.. if that's the rules, I guess that's the rules. (again, it's not something I would have done)

but I think mostly it should be about having fun. for me, it'll be interesting because I've never really tried to remix someone else's track on here.

I get your point though ZKing. being known for regular gameplay levels is different than the music aspect. sort of like how Enigma_0123 is known for his other levels but his music galleries get weird reviews..

Exactly, no one really even knows I make music at all. Just a small percentage of creators and musicians alike. I honestly never expected to win, my boyfriend's song was much better than mine. I still think I should of had a fair chance to win. Why enter when you already know that it won't be beneficial to you in any way? Just because other music contests were biased also doesn't entitle anyone to do it. A contest should focus on the aspects of the contest and not the outside factors. Nonetheless, I don't care what they do really. I just don't think they have thought it out well enough or need to do it in the first place. Also, age doesn't matter, especially when I am much younger and already see all the flaws they made.

After all reading all these complainants and comments, I'll probably just overrule what MMA said about any of the two contest rule stuff and kinda just make it a free for all type dealio and not a "popularity" contest like what Zk claimed it to be. To be honest, when I(yes this was all MY idea, the rules were his) thought all this up, it was gonna be a plain and simple music contest, you know, let people remix the song and just judge on how it sounds and try to not have bias opinion on genre and stuff, but(no offense to MMA, if he ever reads this), he came in and tried to make it more like bringing out the underground musicians, I didn't want to hurt him and be like "no, thats dumb, needs revising" or something like that, I didn't even give it much thought on them in the first place to be honest. Don't blame him, blame me for not helping revising.

If this contest gets further more hate, I'll just call it quits and wait till we're both more professional and have our stuff together.

Apologies.
-A/Z

i think if a contest is open to everyone, it will draw more attention to the "underground" people. that's just my thoughts on it.

Exciting lol
