Agreed. Step and I have come to the conclusion that (A) deadlyfishes has multiple people helping him, (B) he has gone without sleep for the past 7 days, or (C) he's cleaning out his folder of WIPs that have been sitting there for months.

Multiple people? No.... The only people that "help" me are the recording studio session players during recording sessions...

Sleep...? Maybe....

Cleaning out folders? Not exactly, I've just opened up FL during the contest a bunch trying to get some stuff fully produced for the contest.

Just because I uploaded stuff doesn't mean I'm making them part of the contest, most of them I think don't even qualify.

Don't be so quick to judge muahahaha.

23 out of your 48 audio submissions have "NATA" written on them. It's not exactly a stretch of the imagination to assume you were planning to submit them, and it's a *bit* of a stretch of the imagination that you made all of them from scratch in the past week.

Heheheh. Like we discussed earlier, they are not all going in and they all do not qualify.

I didn't realize it would pop up like that oh well... It was supposed to be a surprise!

Anyways, that money is going to go towards a contest I'm doing soon so it's for a good cause! If not, oh well, I'll still do it :)

We don't know the categories, looks like everyone including fish did happy and sad for the most part... You know? Some of the stuff he posted is kinda sound like it was made one per day (sorry fishes!) nice effort tho

Stop right there.

BrokenDeck, stunkel, SkyeWintrest and I had a nice long investigation, because making 25 songs in one period didn't quite sit well with us. We have successfully proven that a good amount of those NATA submissions have not been made in the period from 19th to 29th March. We've been cross-checking his NATA Newgrounds submissions to his YouTube profile, which quite conveniently has a tonne of his songs uploaded as videos, and the best part is that each video has a date.

We cross-checked his NATA songs with his songs on YouTube and found identical matches (usually with different but similar song names) that were uploaded to YouTube before the NATA contest was even started. What does this mean? It means deadlyfishes is cheating.

We have successfully proven that 10 of the submissions in the post I quoted have been made before the contest period, and it's highly likely that the rest have been as well (we just got tired looking through his YouTube videos). We have also a folder with screenshots of each YouTube video (including the date) in case he deletes any of them from YouTube to cover up any evidence.

Let's get started. You'll notice that each video was submitted before March 19th, the start of the NATA contest.

Match 1:
Second Day on Newgrounds

Second Day on YouTube

Match 2:
Cakeland on Newgrounds

Caketown on YouTube

Match 3:
Painted Landscapes on Newgrounds

Painted Dreams on YouTube

Match 4:
Volcanic Lands on Newgrounds

Theme of Com-Mecha on YouTube

Match 5:
My Brother on Newgrounds

Tropic Strike on YouTube

Match 6:
Eternal Leap on Newgrounds

Leap into Eternity on YouTube

Match 7:
Homestead on Newgrounds

Southern Pastures on YouTube

Match 8:
Emerge on Newgrounds

Emerge on YouTube

Match 9:
Evasion on Newgrounds

Evasion on YouTube

Match 10:
Delusions on Newgrounds

Lurid Delusions on YouTube

This isn't the first time he's done this. While searching through his videos, we found that he cheated in the Christmas MAC (which he didn't place in) and his Orchestral MAC submission (which he won store credit for) was composed out of two songs he made before the Orchestral MAC started. He unpublished both his Christmas and his Orchestral MAC submissions quite conveniently.

We haven't verified this yet but if we do more checking we may possibly find that he cheated on Dreams of Splendor or Quest for the Crown contests as well, which had real money involved.

That's it basically. I think we have enough evidence to prove that deadlyfishes cannot be trusted.

I found something!

Okay QUEST FOR THE CROWN!

The contest started October 22

Ended NOVEMBER 1ST

I think he uploads videos a couple days after he finishes composing something??

I checked the file of his submission from youtube download link and he made it october 30 and submitted it to NG

How is it possible he made his entry AFTER the deadline of quest for the crown?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6PxVGGZnPM look the date of the video is november 4th!!!!!

How did he win quest for the crown

I am terrible at math shuddup.

Well okay I'm not going to lie

I read the instructions and it says must be submitted no earlier than the date....

I only made 3 songs ever and I made this recently and touched it up for the contest

but technicallyby what the NATA post said we're all in the clear so as long as the submission date is not before mar 19

i look through the whole youtube channel i think a lot of what wasnt post is okay i message him on skype during the contest and he told me he was working on one or two thing each day for NATA

I couldnt find evidence of the other contest I think you are right they are legitmate

Response to - N A T A - Music Contest! 2013-03-29 11:50:27


Welp, that's yet another NG Conspiracy in the works.

We can still submit till midnight tonight, right? or no?

That doesn't make logical sense, there's no problem with him having submitted something and then uploading it to youtube days later. Obviously he would have created it before the deadline, then didn't put it on youtube until later. There's no rule saying that he HAS to have uploaded a video of his composition only a few days after composing it, and neither of those are before the deadline, which is what would cause actual problems.
