We were actually talking about this in profile chat a while ago. Possibly the score could be resent by clicking the replay button? The only obstacle i could see with this would be abusing resending a score to whore points, but that could easily be fixed by only allowing one score to be sent with the replay button.

If the connection fails... wouldn't that change you from your username to undefined until you reload the engine? That's what I've been experiencing during the site issues.

EDIT: I was thinking of something else. Never mind.

I tried the same thing OWA did and I was still lagging. Guess it doesn't work for everyone.

[Hakulyte]

I still lag too, but it's not as bad as being connected. I'm assuming he was only getting that specific lag on a specific engine with a specific standalone..

i.e: I can't break 10 goods on excite bike with flash 9 but I can borderline AAA on flash 10 and AAA 1/5 times on flash 11. :monkey:

[badman7772]

It's equally as bad for me. The only solution of the possible lag solving solutions that's ever worked was Game Booster, and I still lag just a little bit after that.

I'm officially done playing this round. If anyone below me can beat 8 0 0 1, congratulations. I will not try to beat you, and you will be moving on. Good game guys.

Looks like that comment about DownTemperature being an Indo No Sobaya round was right

RIGHT. i totally forgot about that

the resend score button would be a great idea. the abusing points by using resend would be a bit of a problem, but it would work the same way as the save replay button : wait until the score was actually successfully saved, have the "score recorded!" or w/e show up when it saves, and then disallow any more scores to be sent until that action was advanced (try again/new song was clicked)

Does the round really end tonight?

[PaperclipGames]

It will end in about 29 hours from now.

darkztar...what the fuck.

So, is plopadop informed of the song choices before the round starts so that he can actually begin writing the fpp on time but it actually just takes that long to write one, or does he not get any info? Because fpp's should definitely come out the day of the round start.

like, let's be serious. Plop's FPP's are beyond phenomenal. But they always come on like the 3rd/4th day of the round, and I'm pretty sure he really doesn't have any choice with that. I think he should definitely get to know the songs earlier than like 24 hours, so he can actually have time to write them.

Now, with that being said, Plopadop hasn't been receiving the files beforehand for the safety of leakage. Giving the files out extremely early runs the risk of files being spread. I'm not saying/making any implications, but it was an issue for the start of the tournament. In any case, with the way I'm handling banners for the last three rounds, it's somewhat helpful for me to know who is and isn't going on at the end of the rounds.

Yes, it's nice to have things happening in a timely manner, but I can't exactly just go hand out files and have them potentially sent to those who had no involvement of the structuring of the tournament. I am trying to handle things in the same manner that the batch is (or should be) handled, and that's keeping things where they belong.

looks like I'm out next round if I'm not out this one, hehu
more time for stepmania and college coursework which i should be more focused on lul

AJ beat me to it, but yeah files are not handed out ahead of time when it comes to tournaments just to be safe. Just like we wont put up previews more than 24 hours before a round starts. It's just for the sake of trying to keep everything as fair as possible and to reduce possible leakage. The only person that even has the structure to the tournament physically is me. Rob looked over the files being a difficulty consultant as well as Ez, but neither know the structure to the tournament at all. It's nothing personal against any person here in any way, it just keeps the possibility reduced significantly.

Plus, it's not as if the front page posts are deleted or anything and once you read it you've read it. Are you really going to read it for all 7 days of the round that it has to be up immediately?
