No Steps Allowed
 

This is a public service announcement to remind people to try to remember to use "chart" and "charting" instead of "step" or "stepping". For example, "I found a really cool song, so I decided to chart it." or "I decided to make a chart for that song I heard on the radio."

This is arguably being pretty anal but we need to start making the transition to break away from the connotation of being some adaptation of a dance game, which we are not. Stepping is an action done with feet, not with fingers. Arrows matter on a pad, which indicate direction of where the button is located, but they don't matter on a keyboard when you're playing spread-style. Our community has been around for many years now, and old habits are hard to break, but I think anything that is outdated (and ultimately detrimental to the game's image) should be fixed, especially if it requires virtually no major effort to do so.

EDIT: "map" also works too, or any other word as long as it sorta makes sense

you're're a sussy baka

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

Lets just go back to simfile.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

Its "Note Scrollie" now, and nobody will change my mind.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I don't care what they're called, they just have to not be trash.

Also similar argument could be made against 'chart' or 'map':
"Don't use step because that's for feet"
"Don't use map because that's for directions"
"Don't use chart because that's for representing different data"
It's overall the same stuff.

can I get me a nice one of them uhhh ummm [12]3[12]4[12]3[12]4s please.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

step, stepping
map, mapping
chart, charting
simfile, simfiling

they are all interchangeable & the same, depends on which section of the community you came from. Osu & Quaver players tend to use 'map' more, ITG/PIU/pad players tend to use 'step', keyboard players tend to use 'chart'.

No, this isn't blanket permission to start treating them as profiling words, because like I said, they're interchangeable.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

i'm still in agreement that "note scrollies" is a good universal term

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

for me it's stepcharm'ps

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I think Yoshl was right in the thread that was from, we should call them stepsharts

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I knew this was a copy-paste.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I can't wait to see all the note scrollies in this upcoming OT!

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I am told we're all out of number [14]s, as they have all been ordered by storn.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

Y'all are beta troglodytes

You tell stories with the files. They are novels. When you are making one you are writing

"Dang this song would tell a good story I'm going to write a novel for it"

You fucks

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I subscribe to files being novels i will now refer to them as novels as they tell stories. Wayward is my spirit animal.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's universally accepted FFR orthodoxy that Excite Bike [Oni] is an adaptation of Eraserhead

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I admit I’m one of those who is peeved by people calling charts as “maps” so I was thinking if terminology could be standardized across various rhythm games so everyone from beginners to veterans from one game to another can instantly understand each other. Of course, with rhythm game communities being so fragmented from each other, there won’t ever be an International Rhythm Gaming Association or whatnot...

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

bro why are you like this

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I propose we don't ruin this thread. Its a nice thread. Lets keep it threading onward without a conflict.

I appreciate your consideration mr Xx{Midnight}xX, I hope you have a nice day!

Re: No Steps Allowed

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

k I'm done now

EDIT:


now I'm really done.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

Cope harder.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

Your other posts made me play your ODIPack3 charts and ... yikes. I don't think you're an authority on anything marting related.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

Maybe an authority on inconsistently placing mini holds to cymbals

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

My argument wasn’t that they were good or bad, I said the quality was comparable. If you think that, cool, thanks, but it isn’t relevant.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I checked the other charts and they at least used consistent motifs. Seems like a pretty easy bar to walk over.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I consistently stuck to the point that it’s comparable without discussing a particular comparison. My work is in well regarded packs, you cannot dispute that. I am right, and Choof over stepped. He can cope in peace. My work is arguably in comparable quality to his.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

cope

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

Goodbye nice thread ;-; saltybois just couldn't let you live in peace...

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

I’ll graciously await Choof’s acknowledgment that he fucked up and over… what’s the word… stepped I think is the right term.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

do you prefer Driving While Intoxicated or Sadomasochism

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

Intoxicated driving is fucking disgusting and fuck the people who do it.

Re: No Steps Allowed

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

you're so old you would call a mart a simfile yet that boomer joke went over your head... right after you tripped over the lowest marting bar in odipack3. are you a midget? is your posting a form of napoleon complex?

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

Ah there it is, the stoop to my level, don’t hit your head again on the way down.

Re: No Steps Allowed
 

We're spreading the good word of Note Scrollies. You know, deep in your heart, that this term is the only way forward.
