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 >.>

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

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.

**psychoangel691** · 01-30-2011, 08:42 PM

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.

**TC_Halogen** · 01-30-2011, 08:42 PM

Hey guys, let me set the deadline.

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

**Plan_Bsk81127** · 01-30-2011, 08:45 PM

The whole batch process is just plain lol.

**TC_Halogen** · 01-30-2011, 08:51 PM

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.

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

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

But yeah have some patience

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

I didn't realize this, my apologies.

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

Glad to see my point came across.

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

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

Niala · 01-30-2011, 09:21 PM

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.

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.

**TC_Halogen** · 01-30-2011, 09:35 PM

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.

cedolad · 01-30-2011, 09:35 PM

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.

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.
