ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME


I ASKED LIKE A DOZEN TIMES

AND NOW YOU FINALLY FUCKING TELL ME THIS IS THE FILE THAT IS GETTING QUEUED FROM STEPCON

AFTER THE DEADLINE

I AM LEGIT FUCKING PISSED


HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS ARE SO GODDAMN DISORGANIZED AS FUCK
CANT COMMUNICATE THE MOST SIMPLE SHIT TO ME WHEN I ASK 800 TIMES
THEN I NEED TO ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES


so fucking done with this system

[hi19hi19]

jesus christ why is it so goddamn hard to tell me what files were queued from stepcon BEFORE THE BATCH CLOSES



i havent been this annoyed at FFR before. ever

[hi19hi19]

not directed at you specifically AJ


not only you and rog yourselves, but Xiz, Prawnskunk, silvuh, any of the fucking game managers who have access to the email


ANYONE could have told me if spinal fluid explosion girl had a chart being queued already from stepcon

and I wouldn't have sent mine in

now I get to waste a submission slot because everyone was too fucking lazy/incompetent to tell me

when i asked


SO. MANY. TIMES.



seriously look at this from my point of view just for a moment

nobody tells me in the stepcon thread which files are being queued


nobody tells me in this thread which files are queued

i have to guess; now after the batch closes i learn that it's a wasted submission
MN has the same reason to be pissed except he didnt also ask very specifically about it like 9001 times

[Xiz]

Not trying to direct blame away from me, but I am not associated with FFR staff.
The second the shit show with the stepcon ended I distanced myself to let those who are in charge take over.

I didn't answer because I didn't know, and was never connected with those who did the batch files.

If it's still my fault, I'm sorry.


(And AJ, he actually has 100% right to be this angry)

[hi19hi19]

I'm pissed because would it have been so goddamn hard for SOMEONE to say:
"as a result of Stepcon, AJ is queueing Spinal Fluid Explosion Girl and rog is queueing _______ (STILL DONT FUCKING KNOW WHAT HE CHOSE HINT HINT)"


Like, say that anywhere at all
so that other people KNOW WHAT FILES ARE IN THE QUEUE

And I wouldn't be so pissed if i hadn't been ignored so many goddamn times

[hi19hi19]

AJ please I asked at LEAST 3 times:

That makes a big impact on everyone else's song choice so I feel it should be public by now...

When are we going to learn which files the 2nd and 3rd place finishers chose to queue?
I know they might still be working on edits or something but can we at least learn what songs they are?

I really want to step one of the songs from that tournament but I also don't want to start a file just to learn halfway through that there's already a queued file for that song.

Lines in bold are there because of the shit-tier communication from the Stepcon.
Still not public which song rog chose to have queued, we really need to know that (it's not public which one AJ chose either lol)

You'd think one fucking time someone would bother to give me the time of day
(see how i get increasingly ticked off as the posts go on? Now I'm fucking legit angry)

It would take like, 2 seconds to confirm which songs were queued from the competition, that's all i was asking...
instead i get to waste 2 months waiting for another submission slot.

And it's not even the slot that bothers me, it's the principle of it:
Nobody tells me then you expect to just slide the files into the queue like
"oh sorry haha nobody told you, guess it sucks to be you doesnt it"

[ilikexd]

Yeah just as you made that post, I had done a post search to find those exact posts and was about to post them. I also made at least one myself, and there was never any answer.

I don't think it's fair that you get to queue your stepcon file over a month after the contest's conclusion, and after two other people submitted their file, and after people asked more than three times if anybody wanted to queue their file.

This also seems pretty unfair to DarkZtar.

i would legit not be surprised if rog hasn't selected a file to queue yet rofl

[Silvuh]

Post from phone because my corded connection picked the worst time to be a butt.

AJ already said it was a decision he only just made (and retracted). This came as a surprise to me, too. I submitted my file for that song, too, but under the Japanese name. Believe me, with how much we care about our files for this song, I would have said something if I knew what was happening. But I never saw emails related to the Stepcon in the inbox.

PS, so now what should be done with the Wheelpower & Go files in the batch? Should they be allowed to compete? The Stepcon reward really doesn't prohibit it how it was written. But if they need to be removed, the steppers will get some time to determine a replacement.

better lock the thread now because this isn't gonna be good

True, I just hated how I handled the event, and hoped that others could do it way better then I could have ever done. So you are right.
It was a bit selfish for me to say that so I do apologize. After that event I passed everything to those 'actually' in charge so I don't fuck up things even more then what I did.

[yo man im awesome]

things don't get done when we lock threads and say "get over it".

Things being done privately has clearly done a great job for FFR /sarcasm

fucking forget it, I'm getting railed over shit that I regret doing in the first place. my posts are deleted, i'm not saying another fucking word.

It's not really your fault. There isn't blame here that can be singularly assigned to anyone. The stepcon queuing prizes were entirely unclear as to a period of time they would be valid for, but at the same time it can be agreed that after this long without any claim, that they should be forfeited if somebody else put effort into their chart and submitted it.

He hasn't, and the stepcon queuing prizes should have some sort of expiration period, becuase >5 weeks is more than enough time to prepare/fix a file and way too long to hold back all other prospective steppers.

[hi19hi19]

SOMEONE just actually take the time to tell us which goddamn songs have been queued as prizes from the stepcon. Like, right now.

If neither person actually chose a song over the past month (i actually cant believe im saying that, how could you not have done so) then in my opinion holy shit you lost your chance when the batch closed
i know that wasn't explicitly stated but like holy shit, it's a month. to literally just write the title of a song in a thread.
while literally everyone else who participated in the competition is waiting for you that whole time.

If you're still going to go ahead and still queue two files (coming from AJ and rog's side i suppose it's fair, they were promised that reward), then at least LET US KNOW NOW and let people send in replacements


And holy shit please fucking fix your communication systems it's absolutely retarded something so simple could go unsaid for over a month with that many reminders.
This isn't directed at anyone in particular but the system as a whole is clearly garbage; whoever can address that needs to.

Like this would literally solve every problem about the batch ever

you and I both know that this would work for about 2 weeks and then no one would update it

Well, if there was a file for Wheelpower & Go automatically queued (i.e. accepted), I can't see there being a legitimate reason for having two more files for it to be pending judgement since any file for Wheelpower & Go is likely to be forcedly similar enough in structure and or/difficulty due to the nature of the track; it doesn't lend itself to diverse interpretations.

And even if more than one could be acceptable, as might be more the case with Spinal Fluid, it is to a degree unfair to the new steppers because they submitted their files under the pretense that they weren't "battling" against another chart that was already 100% accepted.

The only one was mine right after the conclusion. Nobody else officially declared anything up until just now with AJ choosing (and retracting), although he had talked a little bit about improving his This Will Be The Day chart and possibly choosing it, but nothing that was an actual declaration.

I agree. I feel that it's implied if you wait this long, specifically, after the end of a batch period, that you've forfeited your desire and privilege to the free queuing.

when's the next stepcon
