Yay! I had you already in the list since you posted you might be able to. But I'm glad you are instead of having to sit out!

Placements will happen tonight and big updates (meaning spreadsheet) when I get back tonight.

About to leave, but I have some things to ask of EVERYONE

-If you have any suggestions about the structure or YOUR OWN placements, please PM me and I will read them.

-To Prawn or any other Staff Member: If you could please help me out with placements so I don't screw them up like I did last time, that would be greatly appreciated!

[klimtkiller]

can i join in d6? im probably mid/low d6 because i haven't played. (although i might forget and not participate...)

[Poison-]

Honestly, you're better off not letting skill drops and such effect placements. It's going to get really complicated and people are just going to complain later on when those people get their skill back and are crushing the rest of the division. Just my opinion.

[sanzath]

Maybe someone's already mentioned this, but some of the attacks are MUCH more hardcore than others. I played 13th, Friday with all of these modifiers to show what I mean.

My current mods are x2.25, screencut, downscroll, no mirror, Delta. I only played the song once with each modifier, so there's certainly room for improvement, but in some cases it's just ridiculous.

Here's my normal run. Meh score, but a good baseline.

Oh god this one hurt. No way I could do sub-200g.

Hyperspeed: The targeted player must play their division song with their speedmod +.5 For example: Speedmod of 2.5 would result in using 3

This one was painful too. Sub-100 seems unlikely, but at least it doesn't have nearly 300 averages and 100 misses.

Note Swap: The targeted player must play their division song using the MIRROR mod. If the player is already using Mirror, they must turn it off.

Actually this one I didn't play, since it's basically a normal run with reversed PR. So we'll take that 18-0-0-5 from earlier.

Re-Skin: The targeted player must play their division song using another noteskin (Of the targeted player's choice). You must save a replay of this!

Ha ha ha what. I guess I should main BM skin now?Beatmania Skin Master Race

Booflag: The targeted player automatically starts off with -5 added to their score. Yes, this does prevent the AAA, but can only happen ONCE PER PERSON. Once someone has been chosen, they will never be targeted by this attack again, but other's can still happen.

Again this is equivalent to my normal run, but with +1 boo, so 18-0-0-6.

So overall the raw scores I got are:
Normal - 137,725
Neo Style - 99,600
Hyperspeed - 130,090
Note Swap - 137,725
Re-Skin - 137,840
Booflag - 137,720

I understand Booflag can be used when scores are really tight for a 5 point difference. But with over 37k points dropped in Neo Style, how can anyone expect to stay competitive?

tl;dr revise the speedmod numbers pls

[Sorie]

Can you screencut to compensate Neo Style? That would also give some kind of counter-play to Hyperspeed at same time if you start with a speedmod slightly lower than your own average. Are you supposed to tell the speedmod you're using in general at the beginning of the tournament for calculations?

[Ghost_Medley]

I am very anticipated for tomorrow. I will finally know what the song I'll be playing is.

[Untimely Friction]

I didnt say this but my most prevolent concern was notification (liably best by PM for those of us (me) who typically wont read backpages for days) of when a users been targetted by an attack, or how this may be handled

[Lavadoom4]

sign me up

[Destroy2777]

I'd like to join the tournament; this gimmick certainly sounds like it will turn these rounds into intriguing warzones.

I'm currently D3, or possibly low D4.
