Back to the game after nearly two years

wait a second

is this really necros? because da real necros wouldn't ever say "gets a hug"

If you want to be up to date with simfile packs, check out my post here with a cohesive listing and links.


I'll summarize everything that has happened after you left in point form:
>DCP2 merged with FFRCP3 which then merged into Xoon 5
>Light Chancellors were created and I lead it for 3 megapacks
>I got tired of all the elitist bullshit that was driving away people and basically yelled and bitched at everyone. In the process, I disbanded the Light Chancellors and destroyed almost all remnants of elitism created by the Chancellors. Basically the Chancellor era took SM into the wrong direction and I needed to do something about it before it got way out of hand.
>More simfiles and packs are being pumped out than ever before. SM isn't dead and anybody that says it is is full of shit and doesn't pay attention to anything around them.
>The real issue is that more people are leaving the game than starting it. To solve this, we need to prioritize getting new people into the game.
>People have begun to chart multiple difficulties after I started enforcing the rule with the FFRCP Season packs. The concept of having beginner friendly charts isn't completely foreign anymore.
>I've also enforced the usage of the Notes Per Second (NPS) difficulty rating system since LCP3. It's a much more accurate and objective way to rate difficulties than any other scale—the scale the Chancellors used is complete and utter bullshit and is the dumbest thing to ever come to mind.
>Megapacks don't really need a panel of judges anymore once I started doing the sole judge gig since LCP3. I'm extremely open-minded to stepping styles/choices and am reasonably lax. Sole judge work allows me to avoid any sort of judging drama and I can work at my own pace without people dragging me behind if someone on the panel disappears like it happens with every pack in existence.

I'm basically one of the only key people still assembling community megapacks, along with Kommisar and a few others. Go check all of the following if you want the most recent and latest megapacks

tl;dr the simfile side of the community is booming—we are pumping out MORE simfiles and packs than ever before. Dumpfile megapacks only take up a small fraction of what has been churned out in just the past couple of years. Naysayers that say SM is dead clearly don't pay attention to what happens around them quite frankly.

Do you guys still remember the ol' Necros? I stopped playing keyboard for a long while (and played a lot of ITG instead), but i'm glad to see that everything seems to be still alive and kicking around here I think i'll start playing again and who knows, maybe i'll try to make some simfiles for the game too.

Can someone enlighten me about the latest dark chancellors sheningans? latest good simfile packs? The community? What's going on in the arrowsmashing world?

First to give a legitimate answer wins a hug

I have become a very lovely molo in the meanwhile, you know.
