Holy jumping jihadi's!
D does his first comp, and the DRAMA is worse than an episode of Jersey Shore.
Tsk tsk.
( I tried to warn you D. You are deep in the quicksand now buddy. )

At least SQcomp is "keepin` it real" for ya. He groomed ya!

sqcomp · 05-07-2013, 05:00 PM

I was really hoping it wouldn't be like that for D.

That's why I mentioned that I'd buy him a trophy...because some of the sycophants that linger around the "sport" are worse than a flaming case of herpes. They know nothing else aside from competition, their pitiful little world revolves around it...and they desperately try to seem important by showing trophies.

Very few anymore actually participate in it for the love of music. Overwhelmingly it is for what little money there is and the perceived power over those who don't know any better...you hear a "big time" audio name and then never question what they have to say or more appropriately, how they act in the public arena. The nice thing for me is that I noticed it early on while participating at the highest levels available. I took these "people" to task and was summarily ostracized for not towing the proverbial line and having people take ownership for their wrongs.

Something tells me that I'd rather be a person with a clear conscience and morality that is right and true. Think about it, would you rather have someone standing next to you when the chips are down that will sell their soul for a trohpy? Oh hell no.

@ AM - You'd love what I have in the Yaris now! It is almost the polar opposite of what I was running during competition. Does it sound as good? *meh* No, it doesn't image "perfectly" and it has lower power handling...BUT...it took an afternoon to completely install and adjust. It's an "I don't give a F**k what anyone thinks" system. Besides, if I have someone who pisses me off, I have that K3LA to throw a double middle fingered salute with.

SWEET! That's what I am talkin` about!
I'll bet it DOES sound great. Certainly not at the level you are used to, but more than good enough for anyone who enjoys listening to "music" and not going to competitions.

Which is why I am surprised you would even consider throwing him to the wolves, after what you have been through.
We all know D does deserve a trophy. But like you said, it ain't about harvesting trophies anyway.

It's about.... Keepin` it REAL, dawg!

_S7V7N_ · 05-07-2013, 05:05 PM

The guy on Diyma was bragging about buying medals. How much them things cost Sq ?

sqcomp · 05-07-2013, 07:21 PM

I've seen the medals like D has, as low as 80 cents a piece. That's when you buy a buttload though. Heck, if anyone wants a medal or trophy, I've still got some hanging around the shop that I purchased with my own money a couple years ago...I still broke even with a 38 car field for our first show at $25 entry fee (for a 2x IASCA event).

They're probably buing them for a little over a $1 a peice plus the stickers for them. That being said, with MECA, you buy the "Event package" that includes the trophies and medals. The 1x event package, IIRC, is around $250 for the entire event. So, the trophies/medals are ultimately cheap honestly.

Anyone that says they spent a lot of money on them is either lying to you or is an idiot for paying so much for them. That phrase, "a lot" means different things to different people.

My opinion is that if you're bragging about trophies and medals at a 1x or even a 2x, you're full of $hit one way or another.

_S7V7N_ · 05-07-2013, 07:54 PM

Bro rig me one up that says "Clit Boxing Champ". See who reads it. Lollll

sqcomp · 05-07-2013, 07:59 PM

Wow! I'll send you a trophy that says, "I beat herpes" instead...

Reminds me of when a friends ex tried to bash him and say that he had given her crabs, I looked over and told the chic WTF did she expect for a few bucks....Lobster. She throws me the bird everytime she see's me now...SMH.

sqcomp · 05-07-2013, 08:39 PM

Honestly, this was D's decision.

It's very much like a brother who wants to join the military. I'm not going to stop him, I'll just tell him how the game is played.

sqcomp · 05-08-2013, 01:02 AM

Brilliant!

patm · 05-09-2013, 12:26 AM

Hi sqcomp, how you doin. whats all this commotion over scores. In the end the only score that matters is D's score. who cares what others think (its all subjective any way). D, if you are happy with the sound, then thats all that matters. then you are a winner, first place. Save the money and take the family out. in their eyes you are a winner and thats all that matters.
Now i have to go and figure out how to fly my quad.

sqcomp · 05-09-2013, 12:56 AM

...I'm doing fine...

There's no flap over the scores per se. Rather the obvious mismanagement of Derick's classification by what would appear to be either inept and/or crooked show officials...on his first competition.

And you're absolutely correct, what they think ultimately is not the issue.

derickveliz2 · 05-09-2013, 01:52 AM

Nice to see you Patm, haven't heard from you lately.

I can see how they could play around with classification, there was another guy who was very upset because they put him as amateur and this was his 3rd competition.

BTW... I don't need any trophies I just need more time to enjoy my music (O:

I need a good Microphone and a good RTA software.

I'm going to start learning more about RTA...
