The Best of BEST-mix Artists Community Pack

So, I got this neat idea this morning... as we are doing it for last time, why not make it even bigger? :)

Here is the thing - I would like to create a little special pack for all those who have been with BEST-mix for some time. I was thinking that it would be a great idea to create a pack containing our best simfiles - not those from BEST-mixes though - those that we think are our best in our whole simming history.

In previous BEST-mixes I couldn't find 'the awesome song', but somewhere between them I have created some awesome songs that has been released. The main idea behind this pack is to grab those files and put them for a showcase.

Please think about up to 2 of your best files and send them to me, I will create a little pack which will be released together with final results as a little bonus for us all.

Files won't be judged in any way. The main purpose of this is to bring a little more fun to us all.


So here are the rules about this pack:

[list][*] file must be ALREADY SUBMITTED SOMEWHERE and CAN'T BE FROM BEST-mixes, new files go to this BEST-mix and about files from previous ones - we have them already :)
[*] file must be pad song of course
[*] 2 files max. if you have problem with selecting - select your favourite one and one that your friends play most
[*] file need to be high quality - at least 3 difficulties and must follow main guidelines of BEST-mixes (sound quality, graphic quality, etc.), 30MB file size.
[*] only people who have already been in BEST-mix (min. entry in two diffrent BEST-mix contests)
[*] files due: Friday, September 7th

Let's make it memorable :)

Number of artists participating (artist who submitted files): 17

file submission is over

Can it also be from DDR OSC, just for the sake of it?

Lisek is looking for our best simfiles that were not submitted to the BEST-mix series, so I would presume DDR OSC files are acceptable. At least, I would hope so, as I was thinking along those lines as well.

I do have a question of my own, though. Are updated versions of old simfiles acceptable, or should they be the original version?

Yes, files from all other contests are acceptable.

About updated files - yes, complete remakes - no (that would qualify as new file).

Would having only entered BEST-mix #4 and #5 count? lol

Hey, this sounds fairly simple and stress-free. Submitting two pre-released files? I suppose I'm capable of doing that. Now, to determine those two "awesome songs"...

Me sure! Although I'm considering to do some changes to them

Don't we all? Minor changes to the steps, making it not-so-awkward...

Though a cosmetic revamp won't hurt, right?

Oh btw. if anyone needs more time we can push it just the same way as main contest was pushed. Also, BlueSS could you include information about this pack in newsletter if you will be sending one later?

This is an amazing idea. Just submitted two of my fav files from back in the day, with updated graphics and vaporized left-face-syndrome (goddammit, I REALLY had an issue with this...).

I know two potential simfiles for this, one being a simfile I enjoy while the other is one loads of other people compliment. I'll try to send them in tonight when submitting my official entries.

By not previously released on Best-MIX does it aso include Community packs?

It would be nice if there was an extension, since I won't have access to my complete sim collection in a couple of days.
