should have won the compo

yeah, this rocks

no!

sry, scene & politics dont mix. especially in a bad 4k.

this is not politics.

I usually don't like demos with political messages, but this is an exception, since it doesn't really have a message, just a lot of random words that you can draw your own conclusion from.

disqualified : no , Assembly without disqualified good and original prods is not Assembly

the music really appealed to my tastes

noo
bad idea and too simply

omgsry

synth EARDRUM pain
but nice message stuff.

Disqualified at assembly :


I feel like a computer by Melon Dezign in 2003
Chimera by Halcyon in 2002
Saint by Halcyon & da Jormas in 1997

So it s a good sign to be disqualified at Assembly

nice concept guys... completly simple, a bit "paradoxical". makes you think (and seems some ppl here can't do that)

Ingenious idea to be disqualified at Assembly! That's a concept on itself. Wow..

Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need

Is this the world we created?
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end
Is this what we're all living for today?
The world that we created

You know that every day a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by

Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If there's a God in the sky looking down
What can he think of what we've done
To the world that He created?

preacher we love u man :D

hmmmmmmm politics,,yeah,, but why not also some, africa: zulu vs others, france vs germany..next time,...the 4kb should be about europe, even germany vs turkish.. :D

holy shit! this was damn cool, too bad it got disq.
i hope to see me more 4k's from traction in the future!

In before it becomes a coup the coueur for being disqualified.

well when we look scene-wise it totally sucks. when we look politically or religiously i wanna say fuck religions and politics so both way it sucks.

Nice one. I can't really understand why this would be disqualified...

:(

liked the red-on-white triangles (should have been animated tho), the random zceneboetry with white "shadow" (i don't give a fuck about politics tho),the awfully penetrating sound (i don't dare to call it music) and the simple syncing (simplicity rox). plus, it can't guarantee any rule compliance (yeah). so, a genuine thumb up, really.

Thumb up for the feedback you got :)

guess they were afraid you were ripping lyrics without permission.

this copyright control bullshit is really getting out of hand. i understand asm for not wanting to mess with the law but the law is borderline ridiculous here.

plagium control aplauded, creative restraint, no.

havent seen the intro yet so piggie for now.

This couldn't have been any worse if you tried! It doesn't even have a political message just random phrases!

Was it disqualified for the random "political" crap or the ear-piercing noise that made me press escape after 5 seconds?

Behold, a tired old slashdot joke is about to follow...

1. copy/paste some old code
   
2. add controversial/offensive material about drugs, religion, politics or ear-sex
   
3. ???
   
4. profit (expected disqualification + back-slapping on pouet for being such a brave, subversive rebel artist)
   

Just admit that it was supposed to be a JML prod. ;)

So basically they disqualified it because it was somewhat generative in nature? How about ditching all demo competitions then.. I mean, isn't the point of code to be dynamic.

This is not my cup of tea I am afraid, mainly because the "music" sucks. Sorry.

i give you thumb up because preacher is nice person!

this probably sucks because it was disq but anyway... VOTE FOR JML!

I'll just thumb this up for the sole stunt of displaying once again that some people need to learn the word "serious". Or the opposite.

Boring.

When the code is bad, the idea behind needs to be good.

wasnt a good one:(

For being disqualified for polical and or religious reasons.

<-- serious?




so now? only name voting?

errrm

That is really Crap :P

nuke/s!p: well no but i just felt that i need to give thumb because stupid thumb downs. titan members are giving thumbs up for their friends all the time so if i had been serious who would care anyway?

well no but i just felt that i need to give thumb up because stupid thumb downs--->>>
especially after alien comment i wanted to give thumb up :))

Hmm, sorry.
This prod cannot raise the thumb up though I am a fan of traction.
bad music.
Effect is too simple.


Is it true?

please, vote for the production, not for symphathy of the one or the other, cant you get it?

yea true, but tell it to titan members :)

please, uns3en_ i dont know them, get a rest :)

ONLY BECAUSE I WAS SO RUDE TO PREACHER <3

Elpyminen.

what gargaj said...

thumb up for the most stupid reason of disqualification in a long time. using generative content should be encouraged.

ballsy, yet uninterresting.

When I ran it I expected cool Traction eyecandy but all I got was random words that brought out my prejudices and world view, biased thoughts... damn you Preacher, you made me think rather than smile... !!!

It probably was disqualified because of the low quality in the production. Then they made up a funny reason to tell Preacher who is getting a tad bit arrogant nowadays. He had it coming.

I haven't yet seen this one, but the reason for disqualification is absolutely sucky.

best traction "jumalauta" prod btw ;)

Neither packed nor unpacked version worked here, just got a view of the desktop at a different resolution. Nice music though.

Heh, quite nice actually

0% art.

good concept

ROTFL!

4KB compo
disq The Promised Land by Preacher / Traction
Reason: Random messages - can not guarantee ASSEMBLY rules compliance

Compo organizers:
sivu, Tundrah, jammu

Those guys are persons who behave in an VERY unscenish way (tm) !!!!!!!

My thumbs to Preacher for the message JIT !
about the intro... please use cubes next time :D

ewwww

Some random text doesn't make it good. Even it was disqalified from compo. No pain, no gain.

and btw... amazing that so many people mixes politics and human rights
I see NO politics in this 4K !

would've voted it 3rd

[X] namevoting
[X] assembly protestvoting
[X] that sound is fitting

gay still means happy

It just pisses me off that we have idiots in the scene who can't handle the concept of expressing yourself in a demo.

No politics allowed?

Yay for censorship.

I believe Dick Cheney put it best:

Go fuck yourself.

The Assembly-guys must have been really worried the wrong word-combinations would show up then :)

hmmm

the random newspaper headline writer is a good idea. having said that, i don't like the topic, the message (or the lack of it), the presentation and the technical aspects.

Feels kinda boring even for a 4k.

whats this a traction product that doesnt completely rock? Its a little bit random for me.

should have won (or at least 2nded... respect to fairlight)

Sorry, I expected lots more from a Traction demo.

Very dissapointing, looks like something that could have been typed in out of a your sinclair magazine.

Sound is grating and horrible, there are loads and loads of 256 byte intros, let alone 4k intros that are 100% better than this, just take your pick.

+ idea
- noise

Sound is horrible but idea is good. Hyvät värit.

ok watched it

Sucks - hard!

nice idea

Not so bad...

failed

sorry Preacher

why it was disqualified?
seems to be the best 4k there (after fairlight's)

I don't really know what to think of this. I see it as an attempt to be creative, which is fine. But does it also have to be an attempt to send me to the hospital for ear damage? :(

I really dig the concept. So much I'm giving a thumb up for that alone.

So let me get this straight. These guys are actually, seriously afraid of a... random text generator?

That's so stupid that it is almost hilarious.

Good job at exposing the madness, Mr. Preacher man!! Keep it up!!

(Although the demo is totally annoying, the sound blows and it didn't even exit when I asked it to. But hey. It's an attack prod :))

I'm torn, either it really wanted to be political, but on the other hand the NFO states the opposite - hmm.

Maybe it's a compofiller, nonetheless Traction sure was busy in 2006 so far :)

May future-me decide what to do.

Snore.

wtf is this?

crap

still strong
