Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two - COMPLETED

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

I think that's why devonin's advancing the start times by 2 hours each round. The last couple of rounds have started in the middle of the night for me, but the last few will be early-mid morning, which suits me perfectly. Besides, I'd say that anyone hardcore enough to get up at 4 AM for a mental challenge deserves to do well.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Exactly Fractal. by having 10 rounds start 2 hours different, you're covering almost the entire day. The odds are that no 1 person will be able to make the start of all 10 rounds, making it more fair to everyone.

In terms of having speed associated to rounds, this is by far the most fair way of doing it, IMO.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Come on guys, quit whining. I've missed the start of every round so far and I'm still doing fine.

Tass: In my defense I don't have access to the scores table lolol, otherwise I'd be opti-whoring

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Wait, you shouldn't be allowed to use vROFL.

Not all of us have it and it gives those who do a complete disadvantage. (ie mainly because it's passable now without DS )

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

i've already stated what THE optimal path is. vROFL x2 + FN. FN is the highest notes that fits in the time remaining.

And Ravia: vROFL may have 4600 notes in 3 minutes... but to actually get decent PA on it to make it worthwhile over other songs? I don't think even Rubix can pull that off.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Ravia: No you'd prob still need DS to pass it. The problem isn't the fact that it's full of framers, it's just the sheer number of notes. You need DS to offset the lag of the quadholding.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Oh, so even the great Rubix can't pull it off? XD
PS Tass I found the second-most optimal path

[Tasselfoot]

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

At least, you think you have. It's cool. I've found a whole bunch of different paths that are 5800+. Just a matter of which one is best for the individual.

I also am about 99.9% sure I found the 2nd most optimal path. Most optimal w/o vROFL.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Mine involves a Shash file and 2 hi19hi19 files.

Edit: 5836, sup Rubix and I'm comin' for you Tass.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

some of us can't wait around the thread all day until a new round releases...

You know, to the minute, exactly when every round is going to be posted. It was made explicitly clear at the start of the tourney, and I post a reminder in the thread hours in advance.

Wednesday 23rd 4:00pm EST
Friday 25th 6:00pm EST
Sunday 27th 8:00pm EST
Tuesday 29th 10:00pm EST
Thursday 1st 12:00pm EST

There, you don't have to wait around EVER for a new round to be posted, you can be here directly at the moment it comes up.

Friday 2nd, 12:00am EST, surely? If it's 50 hours between rounds, then everything after the bolded part is moved forward one day.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Yeah I think it would be Friday the 2nd 12:00 midnight, Sunday the 4th 2:00 am, etc., at that point...

[devonin]

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Er...yes that's right.

Wednesday 23rd 4:00pm EST
Friday 25th 6:00pm EST
Sunday 27th 8:00pm EST
Tuesday 29th 10:00pm EST
Friday 2nd 12:00 Midnight EST
Sunday 4th 2:00am EST
Tuesday 6th 4:00am EST
Thursday 8th 6:00am EST
Saturday 10th 8:00am EST
Monday 12th 10:00am EST

It would have obviously worked itself out properly when it was actually time to post the rounds, I just didn't make the obvious connection that as of midnight, it's the "next day"

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

anyway I should maybe PM Dev round 3 as well


also it would have been nice to make this 25 boxes round score-based instead of completion plus a minimum score
