Default Blitzkrieg II (subs open)

Submissions are open until March 25th, 12am server time. Send your stepmania to bpmblitzkrieg@gmail.com
Graphics and finalization will occur between March 25th and 26th.
Pack releases on the 26th.

Same deal as the first Blitzkrieg, but submissions will be open for a longer period of time and I will hopefully be getting people to help out more with play testing. Instead of having two other judges look at every single chart, I am thinking of asking periodically in the Stepmania discord for help with play testing and decision making.

Click the spoiler if you are not sure what the goal of the Blitzkrieg series is!


Pack Goal(s)
The main goal of this pack is a competition between players that make charts. I am hoping that the nature of this pack fosters some seriously great charting, in both the dump and non-dump camps. It would also be nice to see some ideas thrown around between players, and I'm sure that up and coming chartists (coining this phrase, fuck you) would benefit greatly from seeing what makes a good chart, dump or otherwise.

But mainly, I want fun, healthy competition.

What I (we're) looking for
I am looking to select the top 5 dumps and top 5 non-dumps to be released as a minipack. These charts will be selected by myself, and will be rated internally based on primarily fun factor. I say primarily because there is still technical skill needed to create a non-dump chart that's intuitive and nice to look at, and there is most certainly personal skill needed to create a dump that plays well and is fun to score on.

Rules:
1. 4 submission limit per person, 2 dumps as a maximum. The reason for this is that I know I'm going to get dump charts and that people tend to make those more often because they are "easier" to make.
2. Chart must be less than 5 minutes in length. Why? Because I'm going to be looking at all of the charts and playing them. Having shorter charts means that I get through the charts faster, meaning I go through more of them.
3. Only send in cdtitle. If you send in graphics with your chart, they will be removed in order to "normalize" graphics at the end of the submission deadline.
4. Collabs are not allowed.

And that's it, those are your rules. No BPM minimum, difficulty doesn't matter.

Graphics
Graphics will be normalized. The chart with the highest internal rating gets a gold-colored set of graphics, 2 and 3 get silver, 4 and 5 get bronze. Dump graphics get one set of imagery, non-dumps get another. Cdtitles are mandatory; if you don't have one, get one or I will make you a shitty comic sans cdtitle in photoshop with drop shadow and light gaussian blur (don't test me on this, bubs).
