As of 11/3/2015 9:39 PM EST The Batch Search Engine has been updated with the following:

The September/October 2015 and High FGO Special Batch Phase 2 closed on October 31st, so we have the song list for both those batches. The next step is ordering Phase 2 of the High FGO Special Batch, which I will give to Silvuh.

**t-rogdor** · 11-4-2015, 01:19 PM

ayy0 you can take Got The Row out of the FGO batch. I did some soulsearching and realized it wasn't hard enough. I'll probably throw it into the batch for the Official lmao

**DossarLX ODI** · 11-8-2015, 09:50 PM

Hello, coming in to say that a Weekly Batch Update will be posted Monday 10:00 PM EST.

**DossarLX ODI** · 11-14-2015, 05:40 PM

Update on the Batch:
- DarkZtar finished Lead Notes for Set 1 in November 2014.
- One Winged Angel finished Lead Notes for Sets 2 and 3 in Phase 1 for the High FGO Special Batch.
- I finished Reviewer Notes for Set 2 in the High FGO Special Batch on 4 of the 5 files -- one file was stepped by me in that Set, so TC_Halogen will be reviewing that file and then Set 2 is finished.
- It turns out even though gameboy42690 finished Set 4 in November 2014, Silvuh apparently still has one more file to review (he's done 4 out of 5).
- I've given bmah the Phase 2 High FGO Special Batch songs for him to determine genres.

Tomorrow I'll go for Reviewer Notes in Set 3 in Phase 1 for the High FGO Special Batch. Concerning the Official Tournament Batch, I'll have psychoangel691 and TC_Halogen give an update about that in the Official Tournament Special Batch thread.

Also tonight I can do a Batch Search Engine Update; I just restarted the server again so the site should still be up.

Edit: The update will be moved to tomorrow for the Batch Search Engine.

**DossarLX ODI** · 11-15-2015, 05:35 PM

As of 11/15/2015 6:34 PM EST The Batch Search Engine has been updated with the following:

There are no updates for the November/December 2015 Regular Batch. Concerning the Conflict update, that file is a pending transfer for the Official Tournament Batch -- it's still currently in May 2015, and psychoangel691 would have to look into if it is fitting for the difficulty slots remaining.

// - Suit Up (feat Southpaw Swagger) - 60's, maaaaaaaybe a borderline FMO - January 2015

Silvuh (Cap: 5)
// - Heartache (Silvuh) - Moved over from September 2015 to Official Tournament Batch and Accepted

- Your Lies was requested by the stepartist to be removed from the January 2015 Batch.

Kraezymann · 11-19-2015, 07:10 PM

I would like to pull my file from the Nov/Dec2014 batch please.

If you're talking about Your Lies from January 2015, I can pull that out.

Kraezymann · 11-19-2015, 07:15 PM

Oh. I thought it was earlier.

But yes please

**DossarLX ODI** · 11-19-2015, 08:08 PM

I've removed Your Lies from January 2015 and sent the PMs to the appropriate stepartists who have Conditionally Queue'd and/or Accepted Files in September/November 2014, High FGO Special Batch Phase 1, and Official Tournament Batch.

**hi19hi19** · 11-19-2015, 11:43 PM

I'm aware that I need to do fixes for High-Priestess. Probably going to get to it on Thanksgiving break, or maybe this weekend if I have time.

Wayward Vagabond · 11-20-2015, 01:53 AM

Reiterating that I'm not going to fix my files for belly dance and lovely city because I don't agree with judges on their suggestions.

**DossarLX ODI** · 11-24-2015, 07:58 PM

Three new policies have been put up on the New Judgment System document.

- Special Batches and Transfer Policy: This covers transferring files over from a regular batch to a special batch with certain criteria.
- Pending Conditional Queue Fixes: This covers how a [Pending] status indicates the email for sent fixes has been seen, but the fixes still need to be reviewed.
- Rating Appeal: This covers what a stepartist can do if there are adequate justifications for making a file a certain way in response to the judge reviews.

**DossarLX ODI** · 11-27-2015, 09:07 AM

Hello, chiming in to say that I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I've been ill for the past few days and slept all day yesterday (putting aside a family brunch) although now I feel like I'm getting back to speed again. I'll work on getting Reviewer Notes for Set 3 in Phase 1 of the High FGO Special Batch tonight.

**SKG_Scintill** · 11-27-2015, 10:30 AM

I suppose Set 2 notes won't be up until OWA comes back?

**DossarLX ODI** · 11-27-2015, 11:16 AM

I stepped a file in Set 2 that requires another veteran judge to look at it (the other five files already have reviews from OWA before he left in addition to my reviewer notes for four out of five files). In this case it's TC_Halogen, and people are probably focused on thanksgiving weekend events right now.

I've also updated the Rating Appeal policy:

Quote:

RATING APPEAL
In the event that a stepartist feels a review for a file is unfair, a civil response to the lead and veteran judge can be provided with the concerns through either a PM or sending an email to ffrsubmissions. A file’s rating can only stay the same or be improved through this process. Disrespectful behavior from either the judge or the stepartist will result in a small loss of SAP. If after discussing with the lead and veteran judge the stepartist still feels a concern, a request can be made to a different veteran judge. Details from the review must be provided with adequate explanations. This policy only applies to files currently in Conditional Queue or for files that were Rejected with at least a 6 rating or Resubmission Privileges.

**DossarLX ODI** · 11-29-2015, 11:13 AM

As of 11/29/2015 12:12 PM EST The Batch Search Engine has been updated with the following:

Other Notes
- Still Pending as a Potential Official Tournament Batch Submission: I UPDATED MY F-LIST (beary605) - [Nov 15, 2015 20:40]
- This means there are currently three pending Official Tournament Batch Submissions. If these match the open difficulty ranges, they can be added to the Batch Search Engine.
- There is currently only an Accepted/Conditional Queue Overview Page for all current batches. I'll be assigning another development task related to creating a new page that splits up files by their status for one specific batch.

**Silvuh** · 12-12-2015, 02:27 AM

Arf, hey, so, uh, yeah ... I'm really sorry for how inactive and absent I've been lately. And by lately, I mean like ... the past four months.

Yeah, so, like, all the way from August of last year, some things on FFR were making me anxious, and it affected my ability to communicate. It slowly got worse over the months as I didn't try to face the things that were happening. I finally did in August of this year, but it totally exploded back at me and made me more anxious than ever. I stopped going on the site, stopped reading or posting anything unless someone messaged me on Skype.

And then September and October were basically full of relationship issues (my anxiety tripped me up even more), and November I was struggling with grad school applications.

So ... yeah. Now I've been on anti-anxiety medication for three weeks, and it does seem to be starting to have an effect. (I also found some better motivation.)

On Thursday, I looked at the regular batch conditional fixes that were sent in (not including my own files). I'll be sending a couple PMs out soon with some feedback. Also, I updated the SAP spreadsheet and the old Queued Files spreadsheet. The SAP spreadsheet now also keeps track of pending SAP for conditionally queued files.

I had stopped updating the information in the OP because the batch search engine pretty much took its place, but I figured I should keep updating it, because the website does go offline sometimes. I'll update the OP when I can access the site again. (I'll also be rearranging some information a bit.)

I'll also be getting back to judging soon. Gotta be working on regular batch and tournament stuff.

I'll be more responsive now. Really sorry it took so long.
