I have no problem with that.

Probably was asked already but it's not in the OP so: Is there a limit to how many songs we can chart for the pack?

Just curious.

XelNya: nope, go for it!

SKG: Hype! I'll get to it tomorrow night!

I also have one of my own in the works that I'm currently getting checked out.

[Wayward Vagabond]

[Kraezymann]

Awww yeah!

Gonna go through submissions tonight and hopefully get reviews done before I leave the city tomorrow keep 'em coming peeps!

[James May]

Might send in a few easy charts that I have lying around...

[Kraezymann]

SCORE some midi files would be sick

Updated the reviews. DDRNGGin do you have a cdtitle? If not, would you like one?

And what do people think so far? Opinions on the pack, how I'm running it, me? I'd appreciate any helpful thoughts and tips!

[DDRNGGin]

I do not have a cdtitle, and I don't mind having one.

[Kraezymann]

Awesome. PM me some ideas what you'd like to have

also probably gonna step Nicki Minaj oops I hope this isn't a bad idea

[SKG_Scintill]

[blindreper1179]

1. Would be nice to have a little more specific reviews. They seem a bit vague.
2. Forcing files to be on any specific difficulty is gross. Probably should have users submit them on the difficulty they find most appropriate and then if there's two charts play them both more than two, play the hardest two and skim any extras for smaller things. Because if the files are only the equivalent of a beginner and heavy file it will throw off some of the audience I think.
3. Might want to add the whole "chart as many songs as you'd like" to the OP somewhere to save yourself in case it comes up again.

But, you're keeping up on reviews and interacting with the users submitting really well and aren't changing anything on your own and you're letting the file makers do what they want with their work.

tldr: You're doing a pretty good job imho.

Gonna toss out what songs I'm doing for this pack atm:

Magnolia (M2U Ft. Guriri) {4 Charts}
L: Liberation (ICE) {2 Charts}
Cosmos (Emergence) {4 Charts}

Also I saw in the OP you were getting some comments on one of your own files. I'd be willing to comment on it if you'd like.

[blindreper1179]

YAY! Updated OP. I'm fine with the cutting, I'm bad at it, which is why I never do it. lol

Hoping to find another song to chill out on the difficulty with. lol

[Kraezymann]

Awesome, more Scintill files!

XelNya, those are some proper good points. Regarding the Hard chart requirement, I thought keeping everything uniform would keep things simple and never thought it might actually hinder things from a vets perspective, so I'll definitely look into fixing that. And I do have multiple files allowed mentioned. As for the more specific reviews, I did mention that this is my first time, and reviewing is a new experience for me. I have regarded simfiles to be more of a fun way to experience/complement music than I did in any sort of proper musical theory or hardcore competitive gaming, and so I'm probably not the BEST choice to actually really go in depth to review a file. That said, I think I'll take up someone's volunteer offer so we can get more than just my less-than-experienced opinion?

Appreciate everything you guys! Blind, looking forward to another one.

I should also give you guys a heads up that I'll be out of town for the next few days, so it could be about a week before I catch up on submissions. Keep droppin' 'em though, I like what I've seen so far!

[Wayward Vagabond]

middie you do know this is a beginner pack so restricting difficulty is kind of the whole idea of this pack. since it's targeted at newer/lower skilled players.

[Kraezymann]

I can see where he's coming from though, it is a bit different than what most people are used to. That's part of the reason I included the 2 chart minimum. After that it was just semantics I think... Having a specific chart on Hard was just to keep it organized

[SKG_Scintill]

stepping is easy, don't complain
