[SKG_Scintill]

I'm a terrible person, I can judge

[Wayward Vagabond]

Hello my name is wv. I've been a member of the judge crew since 2009 and I would like to take time away from my busy schedule to say that I support rogdor as a judge. He and I have campaigned together for many years and I know first hand what he is capable of. He is a strong candidate and I would put my reputation on the line for him because I know he can do it and do it well.

The batch will open very soon, but I'd like to bring a small addition in the rules to everyone's attention:

Postponing Files:
You are allowed to postpone any accepted file you have in the queue if you want to send file fixes in the near future, but are currently unable to do so. You must declare the length of time that you want to postpone. The maximum allotted time for postponing a file is 60 days (2 months). If you fail to make any fixes after your declared time period, your file(s) will be released from the postponed list and will become eligible for release as is. You may not postpone a file more than once.

This rule has been devised as a result of a select few people postponing their files for an unreasonable amount of time, despite periodic reminders.

Rogdor as a judge? I think that'd be pretty neat to see. As a stepper? Personally I can't stand your charts at all. I could get behind you being a judge.

Also yay new batch soon.~

[Razor]

hurry up so i can send my 5 dubstep files

[04im]

knock knock

is there a chance i could get SAP for the file Steel for Pappa that i stepped under the alias onehandnow onto mi40 so i could submit 4 files instead of 3 files next batch?

i'm 1 sap short and that would be awesome if i could get credit for the one song i stepped under onehandnow

choo choo hopefully i can fix up some of my files, don't know which to send

prob: masodik galamb, dishevel, my so-called life, ultraviolent junglist (hopefully i can finish this in time zzz)

Minor rule change:

13. You can use any (4th - 192nd) notes, and BPM changes, but you cannnot use stops.

Thank you.

to 04im: that file was accepted in an easy batch and you didn't get SAP from it at that point, iirc.

[04im]

oh cruel world what is this hideous curse you have unleashed on me !!!

1 sap short of 4 files zzzz

can we auto reject any file with stops in it?

That's pretty much what it implies. Unlike another rule in which we previously auto-rejected additional charts in a file (which has since been amended), judges cannot readily delete stops and judge properly without being a huge inconvenience.

So yes, that'd mean the presence of stops would auto-reject the file.

[dore]

why is that an issue, out of curiosity?

brb checking to see if I used stops for my files for this batch

[bmah]

When a file is converted to .swf prior to being added to the game, there are two ways of doing so. One way is fairly fast and convenient, but is incapable of converting files with stops. The second method of conversion can handle stops but is a more long-winded process. Overall it's a matter of convenience. We don't get many files with stops anyhow, so it should hopefully not inconvenience many users.

[dore]

fair enough, thanks

I have a chart in the works (so I probably will never finish it) where I was gonna have a couple hundred stops but I'll do it as BPM changes I guess

[size=8388607][b][i][u]THANK YOU SO MUCH[/u][/i][/b][/size]

now my judging periods don't have to stop because I'm too lazy to move a file from DDream to SM because I need to see it with stops (although, tbh: a SM converter needs to be made because DWI is primitive and it inconveniences both DDream users and SM5 users).

Submission Cap definition was changed due to submission system change.

[Submission Cap by Simfile Artist Point]

Maximum number of files you can submit in a period (2 months):
(1)Jan-Feb, (2)Mar-Apr, (3)May-Jun, (4)Jul-Aug, (5)Sep-Oct, (6)Nov-Dec

Negative pts - 1
0-9pts - 2
10-16pts - 3
17-39pts - 4
40pts or more - 5

For example, if you have 12 SAP then you can submit maximum 3 files in May-June period. After Jul, you can submit 3 more files.

Also, when the judgement is done and your SAP/Submission Cap is increased, you can submit more files in the next period.

[04im]

yo what?? does that mean the batch is perpetually open now??

(aka stricter judging) ?
