Mario Paint Composing Contest Round 4!! - Part 2

[lordino4]

omg i love kingdom hearts.

[angelica319]

-long pause- ...who won? :/

[shinyespeon25]

Its up

[shinyespeon25]

Already made the vid. I'll upload it in the morning since I don't got school.

[shinyespeon25]

I'll probably start the contest as early as tomorrow.

[blueheat127]

YAY!

[blueheat127]

Wait... What!? Why? Oh never mind it. I suppose this was quite a tense contest. But fun nevertheless. Congrats, Zerx.

And I hope to see a round 5 soon, because I think I'm ready to try a contest :D

[shinyespeon25]

I already got the 4 songs decided =P

[Zerxion208]

Good Game guys :P

[blueheat127]

So, Zerx, what are your plans for MPC Contest Round 5?

[kacelano]

It is to my understanding that Zerxion deffered the contest to shinyepseon25, correct?

[Zerxion208]

yup

[shinyespeon25]

*sigh* I hate it when I lose by A LITTLE bit lol

[shinyespeon25]

Sad face =( lol

Congrats Zerxion208 for winning!

[shinyespeon25]

-_-...

[blueheat127]

Does this mean that the Zerx-master wins?

[kacelano]

*sigh* I guess so; a vote is vote no matter who it is from.

So without further adue, I here by pronounce Zerxion208 the winner of the Fourth Mario Paint Composer Contest!! Congradulation Zerxion208, the masses have said you are the best at Tension Rising! I now thank all of the other contestants for participating in his contest, better luck next time.

[rhythm2beat]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!

I get teh final vote.

1.Zerxion208

2.Shinyespeon25

3.Lihyahm

[kacelano]

Oh you're here... great

[GuruXander6060]

Rock! ROCK, I SAY!

See, my logic is that you blunt the scissors with the rock, you punch a hole in the paper with the rock, and if the other person chooses rock you get a bigger rock and smash theirs to bits. :]

[Zerxion208]

Rock, paper, scissors. GO!

[shinyespeon25]

I use Chuck Norris. He beats Scissors, Paper, AND Rock XD

[shinyespeon25]

Oh my fauking god.

TIED

[kacelano]

I swear to god I did not mean to do that, but rules are rules. Everyone, meet me at my high rise apartment in London in two days. The address is 10 Downing Street. Hahaha aren't I a card? :p

Seriously, I guess it is an indefinate tiebreaker, unless you two can reach agreement that is. Remember, the next vote involving one of you two will be the last vote.

Until, why don't you stop by for a chat, yes? :D

[shinyespeon25]

Hrmm, he said I could host the next contest no matter what but.....

WE STILL NEED TO DECIDE WHO GETS FIRST :O

[kacelano]

Then start on your contest video, and when someone votes, I'll notify you.

[shinyespeon25]

Cool, also...

WHERE DO YOU GET CLIPS FROM VIDEO GAMES? RAWR! lol

[GuruXander6060]

Ohhh! Ohhh! Use clips from the Zelda CD-i games!!! YAY!!!

Did I just say that? I am so sorry. How could I be so THICK and class those pieces of *INSERT MAGICAL WORD HERE* as Zelda games? I AM SORRY, WORLD!!!

[kacelano]

Alright people, my highly anticipated vote:

1. buckyboy

2. shinyespeon25

3. eataninja

Thank you all contestants and participants in this contest. I'm sorry that the dates got mixed up and that the popularity plummeted, but I still enjoyed this contest; I hope you did too. :-)

My best wishes to the winner of this contest for good, veiwful, and active next contest.

[Zerxion208]

When does voting end?

[kacelano]

Tommorow at 10 PM East Coast Time

[shinyespeon25]

Kacelano where do you get video clips from games? :o

[shinyespeon25]

I'll probably start the next contest on the 26th.

[kacelano]

Don't count your chickens before they hatch, I still haven't voted >:)

[shinyespeon25]

THE VOTE PLZ

lol

[shinyespeon25]

Then*

[GuruXander6060]

Why 26th? You must have chosen it for a reason...

!!!... Maybe you're one of the few people in the world who recognises the 26th as Garlic-rolling-down-hill-while­-eating-cheese-with-chips Day! Could it be?...

[shinyespeon25]

Its the day before my birthday =P

[GuruXander6060]

I was gonna say, I did think about asking why it wasn't on the 27th (knowing that it was your b-day :P), but I got my hopes up that I was speaking to a fellow "garlic-rolling-down-hill-whil­e-eating-cheese-with-chips"er. :(

[shinyespeon25]

Well since my birthday is on Thanksgiving I want people to not hog on to the internet. Since its a family day.

[eataninja]

@ Kacelano: I didnt get the Amazing Race reference or the jokingness (at my comment, not the silly stuff) :p. And I think its more of a popularity issue than a schoolwork one - it doesn't take much time to vote, and you did get 7 entries.

@ shineyespeon: I'd say just host it. Zerxion seems very stealthy and quiet. Maybe he's part of the MPC mafia o.O

And I'm really surprised I'm still holding on to third. I wonder how I would've done had this been a bigger contest.

[Zerxion208]

MPC mafia? ... you know too much

[lob31]

Indeed, he must be gotten rid of. *Pulls out notepad*

Dear eatanninja,

I regret to inform you that you are...

Ah, forget it, let's just "silence" him. *Evil laughs*

[shinyespeon25]

Zerxion if you win will you let me host the next contest? lol

[Zerxion208]

yes lol, I don't really wanna host it <_<

[shinyespeon25]

yay thanks

[shinyespeon25]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooo

I might lose now T_T

[kitchenmaniac111]

1. eataninja

2. Zerxion208

3. Lihyahm

[eataninja]

Man, there has been more drama than voting...

[kacelano]

Tell your freinds to stop by for a show then

[eataninja]

Lol.

Anyway, I suggest we take Zerxion and shinyespon and put them on desrted island, Survivor style. The last one alive wins.

Or we could just give it to whoever replies first :p.

So, where have all the votes been? It's not like people don't know about this contest. Are they just too lazy?

[kacelano]

*gasp!*

How dare you rip off CBC's biggest show! At least my ideas were orginal!

I know a few people who have not voted yet. I bet they are being just like me, as in they are waiting until the last day to vote.

Give 'em heat boys!

[eataninja]

I didn't intend it as a ripoff. It's not like anyone actually dies on Survivor, they just get voted off the island. And its not like there's any real danger on Survivor. If there was, the lawsuits would be giant.

So yeah, in my eyes, it's the exact opposite of Survivor.

[kacelano]

You do know that I was joking, and that you could have easily pointed that I completly ripped off the Amazing Race :P lol You gotto believe that everything I say is joke. Except for that. And that and that and that and that, but not this.

Ugh I hate lawsuits. The last time I got in one of those I had to kill off five people. They kept telling the truth so I had to show them some of my truth. And by truth, I mean bullets.

[GuruXander6060]

I can explain! YESH!

Well, having graphed the number of views/ voters/ entries in this competition and its predecessors, I have come to the conclusion that it all depends on whether or not people feel inclined to vote, as votes are in almost direct correlation with views. Having graphed the number of votes on this individual competition also, I also believe that we will see very few votes in the last day and a bit of voting, if any votes are cast at all.

Maybe that was a bit too general...

[kacelano]

I believe I can expand a bit:

The reason for the low view count is due to the amount of popularity I had. If you look at all the hosts, you will see that I am the youngest, least amount of subscribers, and therefore, the least well known to the masses. Another reason, perhaps, is the time of year this took place. This is the first third of the school year. This is normally the hardest and most demanding of times. I certainly know it is the hardest for me.

[GuruXander6060]

My point exactly :]

My graphs definitely showed this. They also tell me the time and when I should do my homework :D

[GuruXander6060]

Ohohohoho... two days.

A lot can happen in two days. Conversely, I've just had the most slow paced and uneventful two days of my life. (No, really, I have)

[shinyespeon25]

2 days...wow

BTW what happens if the tie stays?

[GuruXander6060]

Then a space-time paradox will be created and destroy all sentient life in the universe.

And then we will all eat some cheese happily ever after, the end.

Ernestly, I myself don't know. Perhaps a tiebreaker? Of sorts?

[Zerxion208]

that would be interesting

[kacelano]

No, instead I will make every contestent come to my high rise apartment in London. There I will give them a location to go to. However, I will require certain tasks to be completed and rules to follow (ie. no cars) before they can reach their goal. The last one there will be eliminated and the rest will proceed to another leg of race. The last one standing wins.

If there is a tie after that, then the contestents will engae each of in a bare-knuckle brawl to death.

[shinyespeon25]

I am so glad I entered this contest. Finally some action lol XD

[GuruXander6060]

Action? ACTION?!?!

Mah boi, this contest has shrivelled to nought, we are seeing very few votes these past days, and yet you talk of this... this... ACTION?!?! This is blasphemy... This is MADNESS!

[shinyespeon25]

*kicks you*

THIS IS MARIO PAINT!

[kacelano]

*kicks you*

NO! THIS IS MARIO PAINT COMPOSER!!!

[GuruXander6060]

Ooooh, that sounds like fun! But have you considered the 3500 mile stretch of water that layeth before thee? Or is that the point of this gruelling contest to the bitter end?

[kacelano]

But what you don't know Mr Guru is that I have secret escape pod that only I can access via fingerprint and is located right underneath my chair. So, if you do manage to blow up my lair which is utterly useless to me now, I will not be going down with it. Oh yes did I not mention I had dogs with LASERs. Goodbye Mr Guru, I will be seeing you tommorow.

Wait, that is the wrong script, I was supposed to respond with Shakespeares. But still serves the same purpose. Yes, I do an escape pod.

[kacelano]

Change to the last sentance: Yes, I do have an escape pod that is located underneath my chair, which speeds me to my invisable rocket (!) that can get to London in percisely 57.890023 minutes.

[GuruXander6060]

ROAR! NO! NO FAIR! We'll shoot down your rocket with... with... missiles equipped with ultra-anti-invisible-heat-seek­ing-radar trackers! YESH! And then we destroy your lair. And then... HMMMMMM... I render all of your dogs unconsious with some swift movements and attacks from my martial-arts-orientated mind! ROAR! None shall resist me...

[kacelano]

DARN YOU!!! You have once again foiled my plans for world domination! A curse on your house! The reactor core is meting down! *Boom* (While fading out of exsitance) BLAAAARRGG!!! THIS WILL NOT BE THE LAST OF MEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee.....

[shinyespeon25]

Yum cheese.

[eataninja]

Shinyespeon and Zerxion are tied (2100), I'm in third (1100), and Buckyboy is fourth (900). Lilyahm and Shwighly take 5th (300) and 6th (100), respectively. Honestly, I'm surprised that I'm doing better thean buckyboy o.O .

[Lihyahm]

No one ever can spell my name XD

but I expected to be doing better... D:

[blueheat127]

It's... Lilyham... Right? Anyways, this is starting to look like some tough competition...

And... eh... Go Zerxion!

[shinyespeon25]

I think cause I used a soundset its starting to hurt me in this =/

[lob31]

Hey Kyle, do you think you're going to make a rendition of this song on Mario Paint?

[kacelano]

I had 2 files of it done before I sent my computer in, but now I have back (yay!). I may complete sometime next month, and if I may, I would have won contest and left all of yall's in the dust. :p I did not mean to be derespectful in any way with the previous statement, and I am most certainly not bluffing (aside) hehe those fools...

PS: When did I say you could call me by that name!?!?! I should strike you down as are. jk you can call me anything... except for Shirley

[shinyespeon25]

Alright then Shirley lol

[kacelano]

Alright then your point total is cut in half

[shinyespeon25]

Huh!?! I was just joking! >_>....

[shinyespeon25]

:(...

[kacelano]

Don't worry, I was also joking! =D

[shinyespeon25]

lol Damn it I always get fooled XD

[lob31]

Did I mention your name was on your channel?

[kacelano]

I would take a double take because I do not see my name anywhere on my channel.

[blueheat127]

Kyle?

[lob31]

Well, your name's still on MPH.

[kacelano]

Hmm... what is this MPH? It sounds like a hip and cool place that is a great place to be at. Why don't you tell us more about it. *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* *raises eyebrows* *raises eyebrows*

[lob31]

Oh yes, it's a wonderful place where you can talk and discuss MPC.

[eataninja]

It's also a sweet nightclub.

[Zerxion208]

I didn't think I'd be doing this good :O

[shinyespeon25]

TIED!

2100 Me

2100 Zerxion208

[blueheat127]

1. Zerxion208(He pwned Mario Paint without the use of a soundset)

2. Shinyespeon25(his is probably the best one, but I feel using soundsets defaces the purpose)

3. eataninja

[lob31]

1. Zerxion208 - Original soundfont, most accurate.

2. shinyespeon25 - Best remix.

3. eataninja - Original soundfont, pretty accurate.

[shinyespeon25]

The two people with the highest amount of points right now are me (1,700) and Zerxion208 (1,500)

[shinyespeon25]

This is getting close!

[skatemancory222]

1) Zerxion208 (used default soundset and his notes were spot on)

2) eataninja (also used default soundset, so he's my 2nd pick)

3) shinyespeon (meh, only other good one, besides mine)

Mine is getting no love...stupid lag...

[RehdBlob]

1. eataninja- because he eats ninjas (LOL, it's because his sounds nice, and he used the original soundset.)

2. Zerxion208- because his is nice too.

3. shinyespeon25- Nice soundset use; it sounds close to the original.

[HoodedCobra]

1. ShinyEspeon (he is God)

2. EataNinja

3. Swigly

[kacelano]

darn schedulaing conflicts... Anyway, since lob31 bsck down, start to vote on your favorite composition with the following format:

1. [favorite] (300 points)

2. [2nd favorite] (200 points)

3. [3rd favorite] (100 points)

For example:

1. Obama/Biden

2. McCain/Palin

3. umm... er... John Stewart/Stephan Colbert!

I encourage everyone to vote because, contradictiary to my example, this is popular vote, that means your vote IS NOT wasted.

One more thing, please tell others!

[shinyespeon25]

When does voting end?

[kacelano]

Couldn't fit it all in there apparently.

I would say in 2 weeks on the 16th. But don't hold off until the last day because something might happen like... a grand piano falls on you! Or you might slip on a bananananana peel, those things are deadly! Or even a lamp monster might attack you! Repent! REPENT! The Kingdom of God is at hand!!!

Seriously, vote. And tell everyone else you know and don't know to vote because I like big numbers that end in a lot of 0's

[GuruXander6060]

Like a Googleplex XD

I ran into a lamp post today... I sure glad I voted when I did!

[shinyespeon25]

A lamp post? XD

[GuruXander6060]

Lol. Accidents happen...

But this wasn't an accident. This was an extreme case of Cocacolamitticutious. RAWR! COCACOLA!!! SMACK!

[lob31]

Yes a lamp post, so be careful on those midnight strolls of yours.

[shinyespeon25]

lol I'll try

[RehdBlob]

I have a friend who made a lamp post out of wood. I tried, but mine broke :(

[shinyespeon25]

Yay for lamp posts.

Well good luck next time trying to make one.

[RehdBlob]

I doubt I'll be able to... that was like 2 years ago... But I can always try.

[GuruXander6060]

ROFL, I didn't mean to start a mile long chain of comments about lamp posts when I posted my comment!!!! XD

[shinyespeon25]

That is the magic of lamp posts my friend. xP

[shinyespeon25]

Mah votes

1. Zerxion208

Positively epic, Some instruments could be better but I liked it a lot.

2. eataninja:

Made it sound really good with the original soundset

3. Lihyahm:

Eww at the cats (sorry) but everything else was perfect.

[GuruXander6060]

Right... Who to choose...

3)buckyboy2009 - despite the negotiations made due to the use of the MIDI, it was definitely a worthy entry and accurate to the MIDI used.

2)Zerxion208 - Terribly accurate, and what's more, it uses the original soundfont.

1)shinyespeon25 - Why not? Incredibly hard to fault, did have some "off" parts but the overall effect was profound.

There we go.

[Zerxion208]

1. shinyespeon25 - I don't know, it is excellent. Only thing seriously wrong is that there was no fading out, but it's not too noticeable.

2. buckyboy2009 - Very good on most things, but I really didn't like how some stuff was swapped around.

3. Lihyahm - Good, although some things really didn't fit in (cats) and I heard some wrong notes.

[SuperiorLarxene]

Here's my vote;

Zerxion208- Had a couple of poor instrument choices but his was the most accurate out of the every composition, so he get's my 1st place vote :D

buckyboy2009- despite the fact he used a crappy remix... he used his skills to his advantage and made an kickass remix :D

Lihyahm- Those high cats (mainly the first ones that played) sounded off alittle.. but overall he had a good composition!

Well, that's it

[eataninja]

I'm reentering my vote.

3. Zerxion208: Best use of the original Mario Paint Composer soounds in the contest, although I don't agree with all of the instrument choices.

2. buckyboy2009: Sounds really good despite using that crappy (IMO) VGMusic MIDI.

1. shinyespeon: Amazing. Most accurate rendition of this song in the contest.

[Lihyahm]

So voting starts now then?

1. shinyespeon25 - An amazing remix that still stays true to the original song.

2. buckyboy2009 - Although a few bits are swapped around, left out, and modified, due to the MIDI used, it's still a great rendition of the song.

3. Zerxion208 - Although there is some poor instrument choices and a few wrong notes, this is still good, and the best entry that used the original soundfont.

[lob31]

You know, I don't want to be the guy that holds up everything, so I'm not entering the contest. I will finish the song because working with hyperspeed is extremely fun. I will post it as a post contest response, like the first contest.

[shinyespeon25]

lol lob31 hurry up!

[GuruXander6060]

Lol are we still waiting...?

ROAR!!! Don't let me get my pet Hugo out!

Someone give me a heads-up when we're voting, yeah? Please? I'm hibernating for a decade, see, and I don't wanna miss the voting!!

[eataninja]

I guess we start voting now (if not just delete my comment) so:

3. Zerxion208: Best use of the original Mario Paint Composer soounds in the contest, although I don't agree with all of the instrument choices.

2. buckyboy2009: Sounds really good despite using that crappy (IMO) VGMusic MIDI.

1. shinyespeon: Amazing. Most accurate rendition of this song in the contest.

[kacelano]

No it has not started yet! We are all waiting on Lob31! *angry eyes* jk

[GuruXander6060]

Will there be a voting video or do we just vote here? And when? To my knowledge this contest is closed now XP

[kacelano]

No ther is not going to be voting video. We are just going to vote on this one. But there will be a results video (I hope!)

[GuruXander6060]

Lol now I will be a good person and vote when I am explicitly told to do so :P

[HoodedCobra]

ShinyEspeon25 has my vote. That dude is Godly.

[lob31]

"It's not over yet!"

[SuperiorLarxene]

It's not over for any who needs up to an extra;

that's why i'm not voting yet.

[ertai50506]

Mine is turning out alright, but attempting this song with the original soundset is painful, can't do cymbal crashes, I can almost get the percussion loud enough but I havn't added most of the musical accompaniment, so I think I'm gonna call this one.

[kacelano]

Sorry everybody! I couldn't get to here in time because I stuck with end of term things. Allright I have very little clue who needs extra time so I am giving until tomorrow at ten PM. I need more time say so. Thanks for everyone's participation in this contest!

PS: Go Phillies!

[lob31]

MOAR TIME!

[kacelano]

EXTRA TIME ALLOTED!!!!! GET IT DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!!! but don't rush yourself because, in unison now!: haste makes waste

[Zerxion208]

well now I am upset... apparently my computer can't record sound. Any suggestions?

[Lihyahm]

Get someone to do it for you?

[shinyespeon25]

Mine is UP!

[shinyespeon25]

Err scratch that I just finished mine! Woooo

[shinyespeon25]

I need a little more time. I would like the deadline to extend to Saturday.

[buckyboy2009]

So who's still left (as in people that still need to post their video)? Since (at the time of typing) the contest is supposed to be done in six hours, I just want to see if everyone that is going to enter has, before we actually decide if we're going to extend it by a week, but by the looks of it, we'll need to.

[GuruXander6060]

I'm not entering anymore...

So you can scratch me off that list. :) Probably one or two more entries from other people that still need uploading, mind.

[eataninja]

Mines uploading, although I won't be able to post it as a video response until tonight.

But yeah, I say wait until everyone is finished.

[ertai50506]

Life has been kicking my but I have like the first file done, don't know that I have time to finish by tonight, have to work again today too lol :-P

[ertai50506]

*butt

[buckyboy2009]

Since kacelano isn't here, and since some people are running a little behind, who else says that we should extend the deadline by a week?

[GuruXander6060]

I would be all for it, seeing as I haven't... quite... met... the deadline...

Although, while it would be in my best interests to enter, I think there are some moral issues to consider. We've had quite a while to compose and upload; seeing as I was one of the first to start, I don't really want to enter mine gone the deadline... I just don't think it's fair on those who have managed to get their's in before the deadline.

But again, I would be all for extending the deadline :P

[eataninja]

I'm done, I just don't know when I'll have my video up by. As far as I'm concerned I have until someone starts voting :p.

[lob31]

I am going to need that extra week.

[lob31]

I going to need that extra week.

[GuruXander6060]

I'm scared now. I don't think I'll meet the deadline.

[shinyespeon25]

I will enter my video either on Wednesday or Friday, I'm almost done.

[kacelano]

That's it, I am officially out of the competition! I won't have acess to my computer for two weeks, so I cannot compose. That being said, I might miss this Wendsday, so I won't make a formal announcement for the start of voting. I am counting on all you to start without me.

I give my best wishes to all you want to enter and I still encourage everyone to enter!

[brianLED]

Hi there. Mind if I post my contest as a response to this one? The dates hardly interfere, so that way it would be good to attract people to both of our contests.

Thanks,

brianLED

[kacelano]

No problem, it's a good idea. Thanks for having the dates not interfere.

Welcome,

kacelano

PS Wish I could compose half as well you do. The closest you will see me to it is a catchy loop.

[RehdBlob]

LOL, as usual, it has taken me awhile to notice this video... I don't know whether I will enter this contest or not.

[kacelano]

In my mind you were probebly the most likely to know about it.

*I can give you up to an extra week if you need it

[shinyespeon25]

Good, cause the way my schedule with School is happening I won't be finished with it by next week.

[kacelano]

Try not to slack off too much. I don't want this to be another reason to procrastinate But you got stuff with school to do so do the school stuff first.

[shinyespeon25]

Don't worry I sill work on it little by little each day but I just got assigned A LOT of schoolwork so yeah....

[kacelano]

Ugh schoolwork can be such a pain sometimes...

I wish you good luck and good grades! :)

[shinyespeon25]

Thank you!

[RehdBlob]

I have the same problem with school, I don't think I will be entering, but not for that reason.

[GuruXander6060]

Closes on Wednesday, right? It may be half term, but I sleep like a bat for the best part of the day!

Anyhow, I'm almost certain I will get it in on time. ALMOST certain XD

[eataninja]

Gah, I gave up on this. I can't get it to sound right.

[kacelano]

C'Mon Keep on going, I'm sure it doesn't sound that bad. =D There is still 10 days left I bet you could figure something out

[eataninja]

Well I'm working on something else right now. I might come back to it later if I'm motivated enough. I think I've figured out my problem.

[shinyespeon25]

Half way done with mine

[buckyboy2009]

There. Mine's back up.

[buckyboy2009]

Yeah, I've recieved some complaints on my video, so I'm redoing it. It should be up within the next ten minutes.

[Lihyahm]

Uploaded!

[Lihyahm]

Mine's done! It's easily my best composition so far. But it's taking forever to upload. D:

[GuruXander6060]

Argh. I think I've ruined mine at the part starting 0:48 in this vid. And I've got until the 29th... *counts on fingers*

Hmmmm. I might leave it for a bit and come back to it when I'm more musically inclined to complete it :D

[kacelano]

Don't go entirely by this vid because somehow I messed up and the start got cutoff. I'd go look at different videos to get a real feel for it.

[LittleDude300]

Will I be the only guy with a tempo of under 1000?
