O-OKAY
WHY HAVEN'T ANYBODY TOLD ME EARLIER
Fine then, thank you for warning me

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

Okay, so maybe we were all being dickheads, but it certainly wasn't one sided. Everyone was at fault here, and for that I apologize.

with that said, there are a few issues I still have with the pack and I think I speak for quite a few people when I say the following

One. Change the pack name to something original. Discussion was somewhat civil before the pack name changed. Discussion from here on out is going to be minimal anyway because of le banhammer droppu !! but regardless. Pack name needs to be changed, for everyone's sake.
Two. Be more open to criticism. I won't even elaborate on this one since it should be pretty obvious.
And three. If you're not going to take yourself seriously, why should you expect others to take you seriously? There are examples of this in the OP, and interspersed throughout the thread. One example that comes to mind is
It may not seem like a big issue, but you have a history of dumping packs out the window.

Make a banner, push for judges to do reviews, rework OP, change pack name. I'd submit something serious, and I'm sure other people would as well.

I'm still voting for High Impact Sexual Violence 1.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

This would be absolutely worse than Dark Chancellor Pack for totally separate reasons. How about a name that's, you know, a bit more mature than rape jokes.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

Alright, Well. I'll try to think of something less dumb later. I never liked DCP2 anyway, but it isn't really up to me.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

At this point it isn't me holding up progress, its every one of the other judges. Sent the email information out two weeks ago and not one of them has downloaded any files

Anyone want to replace some judges?

Reviews


Kaerimichi (Rebirth) - Very oldschool. I think the hold lengths could possibly be cut. It's got a good difficulty distribution though. Not quite sure how I feel about this. I don't think it's good enough for the pack but I'll hold that judgment for now. Pending

Battle of BRS (XelNya) - Pretty straightforward and nothing special. Solo section has a few technical mistakes, and generally all of the holds and miniholds need to be adjusted. At the moment they feel strangely thick, and the few times they layer it's hard to separate the intensity of the minihold hits, making the chart feel sort of muddy. Durations of long holds could also be adjusted slightly to match the music better. A few stream and trill patterns are questionably bland. Rejected

Catastophie (XelNya) - Minihold usage is very sporadic, sometimes intensely used and then nowhere to be found later. You don't need to make the entire chord all miniholds. Difficulty distribution feels really strange, as the more exciting parts of the song are easier. In a few sections, generic patterns start appearing when you can't really discern anything interesting in the music and you don't really have a way of addressing that. The part where the piano comes in, the piano part should be the focus, and you muddy it by trying to layer the drums too, and it kind of ruins the section. Rejected

Rydeen (Bursurk Lurk) - Cute. Glad you didn't just follow the 16th ostinato the entire way through. Not sure if it's good enough to be in this pack but otherwise no real reason to reject it. Accepted

Funny Shuffle (bmah) - This is groovy as hell and totally fun. Only have a few minor points to make: Don't let holds get in the way of people reading your chart. A lot of heavy hold usage starts to obscure some of the sections, making them hard to read. The rolls would be much nicer if they weren't constantly pushing to one direction. Make them rattle around a bit, switch it up. Fix that and you're good to go. Pending

Oriens (Gundam-Dude) - Plain, but done pretty well. Nothing too special, but nothing to pick out for a rejection. Accepted

Warhead (blindreper1179) - Overall it's got the right feel, but sometimes there's a lack of distinction of chord size, and the thick chords makes it feel like some parts of the song were cheesed and done in a lazy way. A detailed look into this chart might salvage it, but for now it's just not up to par. Rejected

Bodom Beach Terror (Rebirth) - Clean and overall really nice and structured well. However, if I were to pull apart the chart technically top to bottom there are a lot of minor technical mistakes. They don't break the chart but it would be nice to see them cleaned up. Accepted

Cruise Beast (choof) - There are a couple of nasty patterns in there, and some sections are really spiky in terms of difficulty. I personally don't like the hold section either. It's got a few redeeming qualities but they're completely obscured by a messy overall feel. Should be fine after a good clean-up. Rejected

Like a G666 (choof) - Jesus. Only thing I can really remember from this mess is that the [12]2[12] pattern bugged the crap outta me. Otherwise I suppose it's kinda varied and not too bad. Not sure how I feel about this yet, cause it's odd and not very palatable. Pending

Thorough Pinata Dicking Amateur XXX (choof) - Obnoxious and full of the kinds of rolls and chordstreams I hate. Rejected

Gundam-Dude's Oriens was accepted and released in Untitled Stepmania Pack

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

Would sure like to know why the fuck he submitted it here then

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

because he doesn't give a fuck
also if you need a judge i'm free, i fully realize you probably don't know who the fuck i am tho

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

I will download this! I trust in submitters, judges, and playerbase.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

Not sure if I should send Minuit here...I could fix up The Divine Comedy Reverse some more but that'll probably take a while to get everything right...

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

i've played through all the submissions i'm just yet to review them properly. something along the lines of what sg accepted tho

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

Finished stepping The Divine Comedy Reverse, gonna go over the file and probably send it whenever I have the chance.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

dropping in again:

good job getting stuff going, guys. :)

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

sent a file.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

I may or may not have the time for reviews this weekend. I mean, I did explicitly state in my post about volunteering that I wouldn't be doing this gig often—I'm basically a part-time judge.

I sent it there first and it ended up in conditional queue and I figured I wouldn't have the time to make any edits so it'd end up being rejected which is why I sent it here instead (plus you wanted submissions anyways).

I ended up making a quick and very minor edit and resending it to them before release and it just happened to get in. So if you're all anal retentive about having unreleased files, you can just drop it out of this pack and I'll send other unreleased shit I have lying around.

tl;dr I didn't give a fuck

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open
 

Damn, all of these fucks not being given.
