R^n: Shifting Paradigms

Re: R^n: Shifting Paradigms

I agree with you there Duk. The main reason I was excited is because it's hard as hell to sift through all the **** to find the good original files. AP is knowledgable enough to make a pack where I don't have to do that- it would all be right there. That's the bigger reason I'm disappointed.

Re: R^n: Shifting Paradigms

what is not good is bandwagoning and not thinking for youself. just because originality is good does not mean everyone needs to be so non-comformist that non-comformity is the new conformity.

Welcome to Stepmania. This is the new fad.

I'm still pissed that this is getting called off though. It would have been fun.

for a while anyway.Then we'd all find a new fad to whore out.

Re: R^n: Shifting Paradigms

Getting called off? If you all want it as badly as you do, how hard could it be to appoint a new judge (or judges) to assemble the pack?

[Zaghurim]

Re: R^n: Shifting Paradigms

Because people have certain expectations, and most judges can't meet those expectations. It doesn't matter. People know what's up by know.

DukAmok, Reach, Hayden and Toph, I choose you!

huh? Why them in particular?

Re: R^n: Shifting Paradigms

No real reason, my post was not 100% serious . Add a few Zaghurims and a couple of million blurks to that too and they will have some kinda party I believe.

Edit: Since Duk seems to be online now:
You could probably make something nice out of this, talk to ap.

Re: R^n: Shifting Paradigms

hayden's too freeform. otherwise he would've stepped mei correctly.

although i agree that even if ap isn't willing to continue hosting/judging off of ffr, the pack isn't dead

Re: R^n: Shifting Paradigms

I could host this pack if I ever decide to get webspace or not.

Who are you, then? I know like 0 about #machogang and the old #a0. I apologize for my ignorance and rash judgment.

Duk, originality isn't really a fad. With Stepmania, we've always had fads of genres of music to whore out because someone stepped something unique and everyone liked it. Originality is too broad a term to become a niche in itself. That is, unless jazz is the universal definition for original. >_>

Originality is something I'm looking for. However, for me, it's just another basis for evaluation of simfiles (and how much I like them). It goes along handily with fun, difficulty, and so on. I think what the community needs to focus on is single simfile releases. We haven't had very many since pre-F4.

Re: R^n: Shifting Paradigms

I'm glad originality is a fad! What is everyone complaining about? What's so wrong with people doing their own thing and trying out new stuff?

[Zaghurim]

Re: R^n: Shifting Paradigms

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing.

"yeah originality will become the new fad and everyone will whore it out"

"wait isn't that a good thing?"
