So I managed to pull out of the last term with my 4.0 still in tact. I was really worried after taking the hit I did on that assignment. I had also been invited to The National Society of Collegiate Scholars which I joined just a few weeks ago. Today I found I was elected to be the VP of Public Relations. ^_^ So for now things are going pretty good on the school end. The new term starts on Wednesday and I have some networking class then decided to take a management and marketing course as electives. I need a little break from all the IT stuff. Plus never hurts to have a little business under your belt.

It really sucks how FFR is now. A lot of people know that already but there's some newer people here that never got to experience how it was before. It really is obnoxious that you post your accomplishments and everyone ignores you unless you did some insane ass file. People used to actually acknowledge people's improvements even if they were only a D1 player. This is part of the reason I just have no motivation to play anymore, unless I'm insane and AAAing FGO's it's like there's no point. I miss when everyone used to encourage one another :(

Edit: Going to clarify here because a lot of people keep going on about individual scores which isn't what I'm talking about. If someone is putting up tons of stuff that's normally within their range or whatever then yeah I don't expect people to be like omgsh you're doing so awesome. But when someone pulls out something that's not like them at all and it gets completely ignored that's different. I've seen players that are like D2 come in with something that's say an sdg on an FMO and a significant increase in skill for them go completely ignored.

There's also a general sucky attitude around the site now. Unless you're part of one of the cliques that developed here you either are shit on or ignored. Yes there's always been elitism to an extent but it was not nearly as bad as it is now. I used to have so many people I'd chat with here and was close to, none of those people will come back to the site because of how the forums are now. People don't want to be around it.




That score back like 4 years ago would have gained a lot of attention.

There's been a lot of speculation and such as to my leaving so I figure maybe I should clear some of it up. Yes, there have been some incidents on FFR that have upset or frustrated me but that's not my main reason for leaving. I'm dealing with a lot of things in my own personal life right now that's bearing down on me really hard. It's affected how I've been able to handle other stresses (such as the things that come up here on ffr). My grades are even starting to slip for college from all this stuff which is really making me feel even worse because I was proud to know that I've been able to keep a 4.0 GPA. I'm pretty sure after this term I wont have that anymore. I just got an assignment back that I lost 15 points on, that's the most I've ever lost on anything thus far. I haven't been able to concentrate on things, nor just function normally. I need to break away from this place and work on fixing all the things that have gotten screwed up in my life. I did decide to stick around and finish the Official tournament because I felt it unfair to just dump the project after starting it and I do care about the people in this community whether you all believe that or not.

I should also note that I did remove most people from FFR from my facebook and skype, but it's nothing personal. I'm just trying to get my focus back on these things that I need to take care of. I do want to stay in touch with the community but I need to do it within a limit so I'm not tempted to stray away from what I need to do. I'm sure most people can attest that FFR is in fact an escape from the real world and a great way to procrastinate. Anyway, that's enough of my rambling. Feel free to leave me PMs on here I'll check from time to time and I am still here until the end of the tournament.

Removed all my titles myself. I decided to come back in hopes to actually make a difference, obviously that's not going to happen. Been fun FFR.

I never really do these things but I'll give it a shot. I had to put myself in D5 this time around which really does kinda suck cause I'm by far an underdog lol. I'll try my best but I am going to be lucky to pass the first round.

Round 1 Retro City - Love the song, love the chart but I can not do well on it for the life of me. Going to thy through the week for the AAA so we'll see what happens but I feel it's unlikely. Hopefully it ends up not being AAA or die considering only 11 have managed to AAA so far.

1/25 - In 53rd right now with 3/0/0/1. Not sure I can do much better than this and there's still 11 people who haven't even played yet :/

1/26 - bleh still no improvement and movin closer to the line. I really don't think I can pull out a better score. Just have to hope that 12 people don't improve over me in the next few days haha.

1/29 - Been sitting in 57th only 9 away from the elim line. Hopin that I don't get knocked under later today, but expecting to.

More 1/29 - Got knocked down as far as 61st bleh. Played and played manged to only take off one stinkin' boo. Over 120 plays on this song. No more time to play now need to prep the next round. I hope my 3/0/0/0 holds.

Round 2 Oops - Haven't played it much being tied up with other stuff lately. I can hit the ending so I just need to pull it all together in one good run and I know I can get a decent SDG on it. Just not sure what the cutoff is going to end up being considering what D5 can handle.

2/2 - Finally played it again and dropped down to 8/0/0/4 that only puts me 6 above cutoff though. I'm happy to get that but don't feel safe. I think the cutoff is going to be around 6 or 7 goods.

2/3 - Only one person between me and the elim line. Gonna have to find some time to play.

Totally slacking on this, doesn't really matter though who actually reads it? Round 3 is Undiscovered Colors, easy round for me. There's no reason I shouldn't make it past the next few hours with my 1 good score. The next round is Sleep and I already know that I'm out because I can't jumpstream and pretty much everyone else can lol. I made it further than I had hoped in D5 though.
