          Lamer compo - Really needed?

Once  upon  a time there was a guy called Melan,
who invented the thing called 'Lamer demo'. This
cathegory  took  part in SceNEst '95 compos, and
since  that  time  every Hungarian party has its
own  lamer  compo.  Some  say  it is the best on
every   party,   some  others  say  it  is  real
lameness,  and  has  nothing to do with the real
scene. My opinion about it that it really can be
fun  until  a  limit,  but  when I see outcoming
compo   stuff  from  a  party,  from  which  70%
contains  lamer  demos,  I would like to grab an
axe, and kill all the authors. Lamer compos were
fun until Cache '96, where Controlled Dreams won
this cathegory, first using an FLI as fake demo.
(OK,  I  did it first... :) ) But since than all
beginner groups make some FLI, and contribute in
lamer cathegory with it! Mountains of animations
arrived even on FLaG's lamer compo, and although
we  showed all of them, I hope this was the last
lamer   compo   in   Hungary,  and  other  party
organizers  will  cancel  their ones. I saw many
attenders,  who only copied the lamer demos, and
didn't  care  about the real ones. Well, if this
becomes   a   progress,   real   demos  will  be
forgotten,  and  we  will see parties where only
Doom,   lamer,   and   Duke   Nukem  compos  are
organized.

Please, all party organizers, it was a good idea
when  born, but now it is overdated. Try to make
something else!
