I'll repeat that things that happened in 2013, or before 2012, or things that haven't happened yet are all fair game. The date is just to keep track of which competition it is.

 

Last year I started of calling it the 2012 competition but people got upset and said "Too soon". This year people (reasonably I might add) can't help but interpret it as being restrictive to the previous year.

 

Maybe I should do a new numbering system. This is the second competition I've organized, so I could call it Root5's second MOST IDM competition but that overplays my role. Going back in time, this may be the 7th or 8th or 9th MOST IDM competition we've done. Does anyone remember?

 

This is what I remember, but I'm probably hugely wrong. Perhaps and older member could correct this a bit.

 

2013 - This one

2012 - Incomplete Skyscrapers

2011 - Nikola Tesla

2010 - Large Hadron Collider

2009 - Antarctica

2008 - Black Holes

2007 - Beards? Docking?

2006 - Deep Sea Creatures?

beards was what won initially, but the comp was dedicated to the clearly superior deep sea creatures. analogue wings then compiled one dedicated to beardstep, not long after. i don't think it was a year later. maybe there wasn't one in '07

Was DSP/Beards definitely in 2006? For all I know, that one could have been 2007.

 

I remember a half-hearted docking comp, but I don't know if that resulted from a IDM bracketology, or if that was from spontaneous enthusiasm on the subject.

DSC comp was released on December 15, 2007 (according to discogs) so Beardstep was probably beginning of 2008. They were close in release dates. Black Holes was probably also 2008

I nominate board games and that includes D&D.

Dungeons and Dragons is IDM.

So is dressing up as your favourite character and re-enacting battles.

is this review of exai IDM ? i cant make it through any pitchfork articles so havent actually read it

So the history of the most idm competition might be this:

2013 - This one

2012 - Incomplete Skyscrapers

2011 - Nikola Tesla

2010 - Large Hadron Collider

2009 - Antarctica

2008 - Black Holes

2007 - Beards (also Deep Sea Creatures)

In that case I might start calling this the 7th annual most idm tournament, or something, to avoid this date confusion.

Haha, thank you. I was hoping someone would do that.

I nominate "Lichen"

"Ocean Acidification"

http://ocean.nationalgeographic.com/ocean/critical-issues-ocean-acidification/?source=A-to-Z

"Pacific Torpedo Ray"

An electric ray, also called a Pacific torpedo, prowls a kelp forest off the western coast of North America. These large flattened rays often lie partially buried on sandy seafloors, where they use a specialized sensory system to detect the electrical stimuli of potential prey and then attack them by ambush. The predator wraps its body around a halibut or mackerel and uses special kidney-shaped organs to produce a stunning electric charge of up to 50 volts.

+1 for Bipolar Disorder

Here are some pictures to support my previous nominee, kelp forests:

+1 For Kelpe

-1 For Christmas Trees (goes against my Autistic Atheists nomination)

Has Autism been formally nominated yet?

Autism.

As a proud Atheist, I take pride in the secular farse that Christmas has become

Has anyone nominated IDM?

There is nothing more "IDM" than IDM.

I share no excitement towards Christmas aside from with family (as none of us are religious). But when I leave my home and have to hear and see nothing else except the glorification of some variation of an all powerful man. I get a small glimpse and sparkle of North Korea in my eye. :(

Same shit, new year.
