Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

you will get a [-] because you arent a known stepartist. :P

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Hahaha, true enough. It is a really fun file though, I'm not just saying that because it's my file. Plus it would get dubstep into FFR.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Then how do you become known if you keeping [-] because you're not known? Paradox

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

FFR isn't known for its logic :|

Hoping for notes tomorrow btw.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Well we'd all hope so because tomorrow is the deadline XD

If someone doesn't hand in their notes by the deadline, what happens? Just curious. Do we just keep waiting?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

They reset their Simfile Artist points to 0 and ban them for next batch judging lol

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Wow how painful.

Edit: i c wat u did dere lol lol lol

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

backup judges, >.<

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Now less than 30 hours left until the judgement deadline.

2 judges haven't done it yet, right? (and want to hear from them about current state).

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

It's the usual last two.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

The silly thing is I started them the day we got them and I didn't finish up. All I really have left is the resubmits. I'll have them in no worries.


Sowwy :(

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Well I'm more concerned about Silvuh, since he hardly posts anymore. At least I know you're active.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Judging things at the last minute is just meh =/

PS: This is why i suggested that we make the deadline shorter so that people don't have to wait for a month JUST to see if their file got accepted or rejected.

PS2: Yes, I'm aware why you're making the deadline so long so don't think i didn't get that point but a whole month just to judge some files? Really?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

New batch experiment: 3 weeks instead of 4 weeks

See how many judges still do things last minute ?_?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Doing things last minute is the best though. You're more set on finishing it.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

If that's the case, then why not shorten it to 3 weeks to observe if the same thing happens?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

**** it, make it 2 weeks. Week and a half sounds better.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Three weeks instead of a month is a perfect test to see if the judges will do the same thing on the next batch. Two weeks seems way too sudden.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Tell that to my English teachers then.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

IMO taking it in smaller steps is better. 2 weeks is way too big of a jump since it's HALF the amount of time lmfao

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I don't see why people care whether or not judges do it on the first day or the last day. It's been said the notes wouldn't go up until the deadline anyway. So really as long as the judge gets it in by the deadline they aren't holding anything up are they?


Plus everyone's in such a rush but all that's going to happen if dates are shortened is there's going to be more files sitting in queue. It's not going to put them in game any faster >.>

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Lol basically what I was going to say. Thanks for nailing it straight to the point xD

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Hmmmm.... then maybe consider qqwref's posts about what to do with the files? And Plan B? Their posts got drowned out like nobody listened.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I was just trying to prove a point. I don't care.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

After the next batch, I'll close the "regular" batch for a while.

If you have songs that you want to step, finish and submit them to the next batch.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

People need to learn to have a little patience. At least there are new files going in game. How often did we see anything before the newvember event they held before the site went down? There was nothing going into game at all. Now it's been weekly.

I've seen tons of suggestions at this point and I don't remember them all. I know there's been a lot of people saying skill tokens but personally I don't like skill tokens so I'm not going to advocate that. I hate that some songs are not available to all users just because they can't anti pa or something. Which I'm one of those users it's like I've trained myself to hit perfects now I have to go and get goods/aves intentionally. I can't do it personally and there are plenty of songs I'd love to play but can't get the token for.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Hey guys, let me set the deadline.

24 hours. Go. (I've done that for all the batches so far, lmfao)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

The whole batch process is just plain lol.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

The process is actually better than it has been in quite some time. It's the people who are extremely impatient and are expecting the judges to be done in the snap of a finger that are "lol", as you say.

EDIT: It's also even funnier that people are constantly rushing a date that has been posted multiple times, saying ETA ETA ETA ETA ETA ETA, etc. If there wasn't an ETA, JX wouldn't have posted a date. There's a deadline for a reason.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

You would want to make it seven weeks instead of three in order to see the effect.

But yeah have some patience

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

This is a legitimate experiment to test people's patience 8)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I didn't realize this, my apologies.

PS: Looks like I'm going to do things at the last minute for now on! :D

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Glad to see my point came across.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

This

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Maybe it will reduce the possibility that judges forget about their task, and it's the only merit I can see in it.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

:rolleyes:

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

you don't need 3 weeks to judge all the files really
2 weeks maximum imo

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I just want to point something out:
For the judges this is just another batch of songs, but for people like me who are waiting to maybe get their first song ingame it's a pretty big deal. While what you all say about having some patience is true, people naturally get excited and want to see the results on their files, particularly newcomers. I don't think it's so much that people are expecting you to "FINISH FASTER!!!" but that we're anticipating good results (because I doubt you'd send a file to the batch if you didn't expect the judges to like it,) and want to see what they are. Patience is one thing, but it takes some pretty strong determination to not express your excitement.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

lol, I have my reasons why I think this way but no point in defending myself, not like its going to change anything. XD

Edit: Ill mention one benefit of making the notes due earlier, it could help out not having resubmissions overlap into the next batch and have people judge the normal batch and resubmissions. Sure it isnt a lot of files to deal with, but I think it should all be dealt with at one time. Shorten the notes due date, let people see them and get things corrected and resubmitted for a second look before the next batch opens up.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Gonna try to squeeze in two charts for the next batch...I've got Molto Vivace v2 being worked on, and I started my chart for Cest What (by Terminal11) -- gonna try to me get a REAL 12 in game. :twisted:

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Maybe I'll just put this out there? People will always do shit last minute. No matter what the deadline. If they forget about it, they forget about it, and do it last minute. Duh. So changing the deadline doesn't help at all.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I think this is a pretty good idea. It makes more sense too and it gives all the people who are sending in fixes or who are super anxious to get their files in quicker and not have to wait. Plus, it might keep things more organized so there aren't bunches of new files being mixed with resubmissions.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

lol, you better hope the one submitted in this recent batch doesnt get accepted. :P

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I'm actually going to submit four wip files for the next batch as well. Still need to finish up two of them though hehe.

PS: What Plan B said. Kinda gives me the feeling that you didn't like the one submitted into this batch o.o

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Thank you for the early review notes on my file from you...

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

This.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

@ Zier:

I'm stepping the full version - you only stepped a cut. Regardless of what happens, I'm gonna submit this anyway.

EDIT: I also said "real FGO" because Tageri was a contested 11/12 borderline file and I want to make a 12 that's you know...not borderline.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

for the record, I never look at usernames while judging files


Next batch so far I'm sending:


Blitz Lunar -Mathsma Attack
Blitz Lunar - Heavenly Spores
S.S.H. - Dance and Zeal
MOSAIC.WAV - Futsuu no uta


and some other song I need to step for ffr


edit finished Musicmaker RX by SHE

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

i love you

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

me neither, and I really wish people didn't use their cdtitles for ffr stuff lol

As for the whole judging thing, I know it sucks to have to wait but it is pretty legitimate to give people plenty of time. For me, I don't have tons and tons of free time for this sort of thing, so I do it when I can. I got done really quickly this batch, because I had a couple days with very little to do, but if the batch had started a week later, I still might not have it done because of the stuff I've had to do. It's nice to have a reasonable portion of time so that everyone can fit it in whenever possible. I think 3 weeks is plenty if we needed to shorten the time, but I don't think that there is any need to do so, unless we decided to release a file every day or something (which would be oversaturation IMO).

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Stop speaking in third person.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Regardless whether it's a full version or not, it would still count as a v2, and I am positively sure that you wouldn't "Intentionally" leave out the v2 along side the song name in your previous post even IF my file isn't even on the Queue/Conditional Queue.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I see what you did there ;)

PS: Gonna sig this xD

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

ok I'll set this as a submission rule and remove cdtitle gfx from the batch.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Eesh, sorry for being (one of the) ones to be waited on again.

I won't judge for the next batch, so I won't make y'all wait for me eeverry time...
I also do gotta get some more time with my own files.

I'm just kinda slow at this. I meant to get this done while I was still at home, but, well, being away from college, I ended up dicking around for a good bit. But I did spend time on files ... But like, in a whole afternoon, I'd only get through two files. Because that's how much time I have to spend on these things when I'm not rushing myself.

I got a good bit done the first week of college. Haven't had much work to do yet. For this last week, I was planning on like trying to get some done each day so I could get it all done in time without having to rush at all... But well uh, I ended up having to do other stuff.
I moved dorms, and I spent most of my non-class time packing and moving and being sore and all that for a few days. Had to be out by Friday. And then I had to do stuff with relatives, because an aunt was visiting from out of town... So everything I didn't get done with my free time during the week I finally got done this weekend.
Sorry I did have to rush a liittle bit....
I don't really have much time on Monday and Wednesday anyway, so, yeah. Doing this now.

Summary:
New,Resub
[+]5,4
[+.]5,2
[+?]4,1
[?]3,0
[-]1,0
[PASS]1 (my file.)

Tried to not let subjectivity affect my ratings. So... Yeah.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

My apologies. I happen to like this song a lot, and I wanted to use it for a decently tough chart. If your file gets accepted, then chances are this won't be submitted here to FFR. I'll probably touch it up and use it for an SM release of some sort. For now though, my chart will continue.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

your file isnt in any queue yet so he doesnt have to name it v2 because there is no cest what in game

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Anyone on the blitz lunar train I just grabbed 12 bar bloops, so b/w me and kommi that's mathsma attack, heavenly spores, and 12 bar bloops that are done.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

all blitz lunar songs accepted in the next batch should be released at once for more pixel love

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

LOL carlos just concentrate on making more sick charts for classic songs cause i feel that your La Campanella file in ffr isnt enough xD

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

cool, thanks

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I think I may have been a little on the lenient side with a few of these...

New Files

+ 5
+.3
+?5
? 1
- 5


Resubmissions

+ 3
+.3
< 1

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

That's ok, just review to how you feel, and not according to others. There's a reason why four judges review the same set of files simultaneously. :)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I was probably the harshest judge out of the 12... D:

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Like I said in the DF chat the other night I feel like the Paula of simfile judging lol. I never want to hurt anyone's feelings. I try to find the perfect balance. I don't think I was way off but do feel I was a little generous on some of them.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Couldn't agree more x.x

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

you are so mean. :D

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Simon Cowell ain't got nothin' on me

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Feels like it's the 31st of December and everyone's waiting for the clock to hit 12:00AM ROFL

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Heck, I'm even anxious to see the notes. I'm very confident about one of my files out of the three; I'm just wondering if it was good enough to give me more simfile artist points. :)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I only had my 1 resubmit and I'm wondering if it got enough points to go in game. I have a feeling I may be shy by a point or two though. Who knows :3

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Im looking forward to two things tonight :D. New COD map pack and the notes for this batch XD.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Honestly, I have a feeling that my files are flat out rejected because I'm a terrible stepper and my stepping skill is not FFR-worthy imo. Luckily, I don't really care though :3

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

So are we gonna do that intermission between notes and batch opening?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I was going to finish my first ffr exclusive file since 2006. Then halfway through, I realize bmah already stepped the song for ffr. Whoops

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

lol, what file was that?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

It was bmv.578

PS: I think the version he was stepping was a totally different version than the one in game.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Wanna collab?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

well then, if that was the song, I didn't step it

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Surprise guys...notes are up!
