Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
was there really a suggestion for an 8th division
brb killing myself |
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
If you get placed in division 58 and there are 5 other people in it someone is still going to lose in the first round, and the way things look right now there would be complaining about that too.
"Why am I in d58 I haven't played a 58 in like 4 years I should be in 56 because it's way easier for me." No |
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
the year is 2038. ncaa march madness now has so many rounds of play-in games, they've come to be known as "the regular season"

every year it's the same thing you put all this work into creating cutoffs gathering files and placing people and then a bunch of ungrateful shitwits whine about how they didn't draw the biggest longest straw and how life isn't fair and how if the system was more rigged in their favor maybe they'd win too i've said this every ot since 2008 but the function of a tournament is to produce a winner who given the structure and format of the tournament can be reasonably assumed to be the best among the pool of contestants it's not to hand out a hundred trophies and shoot off fireworks and fanfare in celebration of everyone pressing the signup button the fact that you get something even remotely between the two at an incredible expense to the tournament organizers and then still complain about it is just fucking shameful jesus christ ps. please don't whine about any skillgaps within divisions other than d7, in every other division 8 weeks is enough time for the worst player to close the gap against the best player assuming the best player stagnates in skill |
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
Also can you folks just stop with the placement talk until after the tournament and just enjoy it? I'm sure that the organizers would be happy to field suggestions/comments/concerns about placements or any other tournament business when it's over and they have time to worry about it again.

The bolded part is funny to me because I was just saying over here about an hour ago how I was actually a bit miffed that participant badges were created. Because the whole reason that profile badges came about was me looking for another prize to obtain for the officials since we didn't have anything like T-shirts and stuff to give, (so it was something for the winners back then, not everyone). All we had were the same old tokens and credits to give. Now everyone gets one just for coming in and to me that's kind of meh. |

Probably because the game of placing divisions is a losing one and at the end of the day we really just want to play the game instead of arguing over divisions. People will deal. They seem to have so far. |
Re: 11th Official Tournament

If people feel the need to pride themselves in having participated in several officials and/or being in certain divisions during each one, they'll list the ones they participated in. The badges just give them a way to do that. If they placed and earned a top 8 badge or what not, they'll have those. Having a badge does not somehow make what it stands for more important or devalues other badges just because its not that important. It really just makes a list of accomplishments slightly more compact and better on the eyes. |

To my knowledge you can't list only specific ones, I'd personally rather not have the participation badges on mine. Either you show the whole block of badges or none last I knew and I just looked at my profile and saw no way to select specifics. |
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
hi guys i hit an arrow and submitted a positive score i want a participant badge please
EDIT: lost internet mid-edit, nice! I see nothing wrong with having participants listed somewhere, but having them in the same place as top x badges is a bit strange to me. In a location where achievements are collected and represented by visual indicators, having participant badges makes them inherently less elusive. Certainly nothing wrong with having them from an archival perspective, but that should be sported elsewhere, haha. |

Maybe this is from the perspective of someone who has never seen profile badges as elusive, but it doesn't feel like you're giving out participation badges as an award for participating (and you shouldn't). It instead feels like you're certifying that someone has participated. In the same way you certify that someone was, in fact, the winner of a particular division. |

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
Here's my hot take on participation badges.
Even if you don't get Top 16 or whatever (my personal best placement is 30th) it's nice to see that you have, in fact, been getting better over the years. It's a testament to all the hurdles you've overcome, all the personal bests you've set. And when you get stuck, just know that with diligence and determination, this too shall pass. Just probably not as fast as you'd like it to. |

1/ I didn't put words in anybody's mouth. Yes, it was PsychoAngel's -opinion- that 'getting participation badges is meh' therefore, to characterize her position as "participation badges are meh" seems 100% in keeping with her stated opinion. I didn't say she was presenting it as a universal fact, I quoted the -sentiment- behind the statement for -comedic effect- 2/ It was a joke, see the end of point 1 3/ Quote:

my opinion is we should ban jokes in the main OT thread and create an OT jokes thread, top 8 posters get profile badges

I feel it's a step in the right direction I think we would need alot more than 2 charts though, maybe like iono... 100? consisting of all difficulties and have varying patterns and lengths maybe they could have a weight distribution system so our skill level can be reflected by our greatest strengths so others around our skill levels can possibly be better at different things than we are, and significantly worse at what we are good at. Making tournaments much more dynamic and interesting hey...wait just a darn second >:C |
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
I have no real right or place to say this buuuuut---
There is no better way to have a tournament this size other then a gauntlet style tournament. AKA what we do There is no better way to make everyone feel welcomed despite their skills/rust then having divisions. AKA what we do. There is nothing that messes with the format or end results by having songs in said divisions being harder then what said division is use to, as they are only playing the song against people near their skill level. To be honest, even if D1 was harder then D2 all that would change is what the funniest thing about the site was that week, and not the results of the divisions. And while I am at it if you can't raise you re score in an entire week then by the nature of tournaments you kind of need to be knocked out. I'm not trying to resort to "git gud scrublord" but in a tournament we gotta have losers if we want a winner, and we gotta start someone. Now pardon me as I get wrecked by D2 again. |

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
no one in d7 has a aaa yet? :O

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
Yeah personally I muuuuch prefer not having to AAA the first 4 rounds to stay alive. Nice to have something of a challenge right from the start instead of a few weeks of "Ok there's my score.... come back to this in a week I guess?" Just my say on it.

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
Definitely steaming a bit. I had the AAA run on oppIrish up to 2800, and then had the issue that I'd been having on Microsoft Edge that I'd been having earlier. It's intermittent, but it's stupid noticeable when it happens:
![]() Near the top of the screen, pretty much right where the taps start splitting, I got a micro-lag that suddenly caused all of my inputs to fall behind -- I don't know why the hell this keeps happening, and it's so frustrating because this is the only browser I can use that has good framerate, since I can't find a version 21 .dll for Chrome's Pepper Flash. -___- ![]() |
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
like, fuck off - seriously, I can easily AAA this but i'm playing fucking RNG with browsers at this point ;___;
|
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
Are you not using standalone? :/

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
Quote:
When I trashed FFR back on the 9th of June, I was playing on Chrome + Flash 21, but the version of Pepper Flash got updated and I can't seem to find 21 anywhere. 20 runs like garbage and 22 is just as bad. |
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
same for me cool game
|
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
actually i guess the difference is the game runs flawlessly in my browser im just too lazy to spend more than an hour a week on this

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

I saved the computer that brought me up to D7 skill just in case I ever get sick with the instability that Flash is causing or the screen tearing that causes arrows to be cut in half because it runs at like a fraction of the power my currently computer has but it ran FFR in-lack-of-a-better-word flawlessly I know it takes time and energy to dig the older rig out (if you even have one still) but it might benefit you, who knows |
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

I'm interested as to why Edge is having these random input hiccups, because aside from that, it runs even smoother than Chrome did for me... EDIT: AAAAAA found v21, let's see if it's not just coincidence |

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

I don't have input or audio/visual lag, but my game frame-skips every two or three plays and I have to refresh the browser. I can still sorta play when the game's frame-skipping (I AAA'd this round's song that way, actually) but though it doesn't seem to compromise accuracy, it definitely compromises reading ability. (On a Mac, by the way) |
Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1
even v21's not working as well as it should, this is fucking ridiculous
i'm about 5 seconds from just not even bothering anymore, this is stupid -- i've no problem admitting having issues when i'm actually incapable of doing something, but when i'm contending with computer issues that are a result of the game's platform then i see no reason to even bother this is not worth the frustration. i'll probably try a bit more to troubleshoot and get things working properly but if this is going to be the issue that i contend with the entire tournament, then i'm not even gonna try. i'll try the standalone + OBS thing - the fact that something like that even needs to be considered is pretty stupid but i'll give it a shot |
