So, maybe there should be a purely trance competition that runs simultaneously with the current style one.

That more trance in a contest = more people able to score high is a myth. You only need to look at JJ-T1's contest to see that. |

So what exactly have I done wrong with my contest in particular? I put a lot of effort into compiling something which I thought would be fun and interesting, but you make it sound like that was the wrong thing to do and you'd much prefer a bunch of obvious anthems. Criticising the track selection because it doesn't cater to your individual tastes is akin to criticising a general knowledge quiz because you've never studied a particular subject.
I appreciate that this is tranceaddict, but why does that mean other styles of EDM shouldn't be included? After all, I would hope that most people here listen to something other than trance at least once in a while. And if they don't, why the hell not?
I also appreciate that posting scores so early into the competition may put people off entering, but I was only following what had gone before and besides, it's only a bit of fun. Well it's supposed to be, anyway. Evidently I was naïve to think that I could please everyone, so apologies to all who don't appreciate the diversity. |

exactly...i mean i did terrible in those because i don't really listen to much trance...but if you put a large variety...then i usually am competitive...
even still i usually don't get the trance tracks i know are easy points for everyone else because they all sound the same to me |

i hope you didn't take this thread as an attack at your contest MaRt...i think you did a great job with it. this thread was more just to see what people that don't usually enter think about the contests in general... |

i think the diversity is great... i mean even if we made it all "trance" people would complain it was never on ASOT so it doesn't count :stongue: .
I wish i had time to enter more often...
& hearing a track i can't remember the name to absolutely drives me crazy! |

+1
In my opinion, this contest is well done. Even I was able to identify a couple of the tunes. :p |

| Well it does feel somewhat like an attack when the contest's only just started and already people would rather it be swept under the rug in favour of something else. Oh well, and all that. |

well sorry if this thread made you mad. i didn't mean for it too...
maybe i should just delete it. someone suggested we get the oppinions of what we could do in the future, so i started the thread...sorry :(. i didn't really think through that the contest was still on going and maybe we should wait until it's done...sorry i jumped the gun :/ |
