Welp, looks like the tie breaker is going to happen anyways in D4, lol.

Anyways, I really don't know still about the case with Soulwar. I mean, someone mentioned the lack of good scores via level ranks, so that's suspicion right there.

I'm still 50/50 though, seeing what others have to say.

I also do take advantage of the restart feature since I'm so used to ESCing out of songs in stepmania that are too hard or when I screw up big time (I know some of you do this as well!)

I probably should play FFR more often but I do dislike the choppy playstyle of FFR sometimes. It feels.. not as.. smooth(?) as stepmania. If you guys request some songs I can definitely play them after I finish statistics & computer science finals early next week.

Agreed. It's really weird and suggests that there are skills there which are deliberately being hidden. Also, AAAing Nous in one try - even with the velo engine - is really hard, and that score by itself - if gotten at the start of the tournament - would suggest at least D5. Plus, I gotta say, I don't think it's fair to let someone as suspicious as this take vrofl away from one of the clearly hard-working D4 finalists. I know he got screwed over by bad timing, or bad luck, but at this point in the tourn we really need to consider the other players as well - most of them have been working hard on this for a month.

Normally this would be true. However, this is not acceptable behavior for someone who wants to compete in an official tournament. It's just not fair to others to have to compete against someone who clearly has more skill than they have been disclosing.

I have a good idea who you are. I just hope anybody with a brain realizes it.

And what I want to ask you is, how can you be so suspicious of me when you have 706 games played with 607 AAA scores? Hypocrite much >_>
Also who are YOU? You look like an amazing player but you've been on the website for 0.13 years..

Honestly can't believe I'm getting flak for trying to play and people like you just nag on me whenever I post something..

[mrpreggers]

Someone nip this in the ****ing bud before it gets out of hand and the thread has to be locked again. BMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

So has soul? They've put in scores for ALL four rounds. Then being swicthed midround 4 without notice. Where does Soul's work go? Down the drain? I don't think THAT's fair.

All the hard work of AAA'ing songs way under his or her capabilities. Lots of work there.

My situation is totally irrelevant to this one. I'm not even participating in the tournament this year because I wanted to focus on my skill personally and compete when I feel comfortable enough.
Oh yeah, vet for .13 years. I'm totally a random just like you!

Yes.

Incoming bias: I wouldn't be fair for people that were placed in too high of a division (and when they pm'd people in charge got no response back or acknowledgement of it being read) and were eliminated first round if soulwar was put back in the tournament again to "have a fair chance", no matter who he/she is or if the account is an alt (sorry about the he/she soulwar, I don't know you )

[noname219]

My best solution is : soulwar is back in D4, but still 8 people pass to the next round. (8 out of 16 + soulwar) All the prizes are still rewarded with the 16 contenders in the tournament. (the inclusion of soulwar shouldn't interfere with other's position in the tourney)
Since he doesn't want "real" prizes but only the tokens, we could award him what he would have got if he was still in. For example :
Charu, .Gazelle. and Novelties finishes 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. soulwar gets a score that would have put him 3rd. So, award him the right amount of credits (240,000 in that situation), vRofl, +tokens. Novelties ranked 3rd, so he gets the same prizes.

Dunno if my explanation was clear. But that should be fair for everyone left.

Wow, that's some great mentality for a person trying to focus on improving his or her skill! You don't welcome competition at all, and you ostracize others that might be a potential competitor. In addition, you flaunt the fact that you're a veteran after playing for only 0.13 years. That's pretty amazing and shows your lack of ability to welcome people. Keep it up buddy! I'm sure you'll do great with that mentality in upcoming tournaments. Keep it up.

Anyhow, I don't care what you have to say about me. You're a random just like me on the Internet, one out of billions.

If people are also against me being put back into the tournament, listen to them!! I would be perfectly fine if everyone agreed on keeping me out of the tournament for the sake of everyone else. But I also at the same time, want to raise my voice to say I was taken out, and put back in without notice. That's all I have to say for now.

Enjoy the tournament, and I'm so, so sorry for all the trouble I've caused to everyone.
I don't hate anyone here, and I don't hold a grudge against anyone who has been against my return to the tournament.

Just.. enjoy the tournament since I've been enjoying it a great deal so far. Prizes or not, fun is fun. That's what I'm here for.

Conspiracy theory: soulwar and i heart candy are both alts of the same person.

Dramadramadramadrama...

Edit: You kids play nice :P

I like this idea a lot.

It's not about the work in soulwar's case, it's about the dishonesty of not being straightforward about skill level. In a division-based tournament, if you play against people who are way worse, and win, you're essentially cheating and taking a prize you don't deserve. If he was just another active, well-known player being moved up to D4 in the middle of the tournament for a legit reason (like wanting to be pushed up) I would be all for letting him continue - but this is not one of those cases. Hell, at this point we can't even be sure he won't win D4 if given the chance.

Why would I welcome someone who I know has been in this community? Plus the personality you play does not add up at all. You play innocent (live you've done in the past), then you play the whole stop harrassing me card (so lame), and then you play your final dry, sarcastic remarks card. Sounds like someone I already know who is known for bs. *cough cough*

But then again, it's whatever. This tournament has already fallen apart in my opinion anyway. The people who did placements this year allowed d5 players to sandbag until the 5th round. Congrats you guys!

I was originally placed into Division 1 and I requested to be put into a higher division, of at least division 3. I think I had a very challenging AAA or something along those (even higher I think) before signing up for the tournament. I made sure to play some hard songs. Also, I've been training extremely hard as well, playing through the majority of songs in Xoon and SMG packs, so that gave me a boost as well. I've never been dishonest about my skill, just pretty darn obscure because I prefer playing stepmania over FFR most of the time. I'm not ohmygodamazing good but I did believe I was at least Division 3. I think I would still give it my best if I got put into Division 5, I'm not going to go down without a fight~
