I can't agree more! This is a really friendly community. My first submission ever, which was OSC 58, peeps of OSC were so very kind to vote me into first place.z.prime wrote:Not at all, nothing to do with you, there's just be an ongoing sentiment by multiple people that the regulars win because they're too good or people like them or whatever (and I don't really think that's true exactly, personally I have lots of stuff that is just not at all good). I am just super happy someone won who wasn't a longstanding regular. It just goes to show there *is* some fairness in this competition, no matter what some people say to the contrary. And also that not-exactly-mainstream genres can win. I just hope this month quells those conversations and serves as a reference that those arguments are just completely invalid, that the OSC is as wonderful as I've always thought it was, regardless of the stupidness in discussions that go on sometimes.Mechanought wrote:...

Agreed, it was an EDM'ish track, but since then, whenever I (irregularly) participated, I submitted something that was all over the place EXCEPT "EDM", people here voted me into top 5 most of the times. So while I know that people will vote naturally for electronic sounding tracks, being it a SYNTHESIZER contest (duh!!!), I'm absolutely convinced people here have an open mind for music in general, whatever genre it may be you're submitting.
And let's not forget to applaude for one of the kindest admins to ever roam the net, our very own bj porter
