Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5!

Private messages have been sent out to everyone still remaining in the tournament. Congratulations to all of you making it to round 6.

(d4u: FissionMailed1 stepped it, and it's his first file. It's a fantastic first file to be in FFR.)

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5!

I pretty much use the front page as a means of navigation, even though it does seem like im the only one who does it (forever alone?) but anyway, suuuper hype for this round, cant wait to play 44 Edit. If the file is nearly consistent as the preview shows, I feel like it could be my first FGO AAA. Although, i know how the rest of the song goes, the beginning and the end around the preview are both more dense than other areas... who stepped the file?

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5!

That's the two of you, I never literally meant no one but compared to the amount of users that are active on the site only a few actually use the front page. There was a thread that someone was asking about TGB even though the FPP was the top post on the page and when it was mentioned it was on the front page he's like who even uses that anymore? When I said like everyone a bunch of people came in there and basically laughed in my face for saying that. The overall result that came out of that thread was that most people don't really bother with it.

Plus on top of it there's been I don't know how many times that I've announced things on the front page and I still would get messages pertaining to whatever it was even though it was in plain view. The overall point was that a FPP doesn't get noticed by everyone anyway. The best course is PMs which was what we were planning on anyway. There were already PMs sent out to those who would be involved in a tiebreaker, and there will be more going out.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5!

I think it's funny that people are still going on about a FPP when one's been up for like an hour. Shows how many actually notice it, which was something that came up not all that long ago in a thread about how no one really uses the front page anymore. Most people go straight to whatever it is they're doing.

Frame fixes are done for D6's tiebreaking file.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5!

In that case... 6 hours hype!

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5!

Well it's looking good for tonight. AJ said that his file was okayed so that will be D6's tiebreaker and also become the top 16 token as well. Lets hope that the issue's resolved and that we're in for a good week.

It's a very nice front page post. I enjoyed it.

always better to be clear

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5!

Just be like "The next round of the tournament is postponed due to server instability. We are not sure when it will be fixed. Check ____ thread for more info."

Simple as that. There are still people in D1 who haven't posted and might be wondering wtf is going on.

It never hurts to communicate what's going on, and it always does seem to hurt you in the opposite case.

Just because they don't post doesn't mean they don't check the thread. I can't even say server instability because I don't know that's the case for sure. I was told the server was being relocated to try to resolve the issue, that's the best I know. If anyone's going to announce what's going on with the site it should be one of the admins not me. (Which I did ask Zag to say something to those who were speculating DDoS and he never posted anything)

So if the site has no flaws in terms of the site going down and such, will the round start at midnight server time?
