Semi-Pro FFR Scores

Re: Semi-Pro FFR Scores

This thread would be 9-10 AAAs, because as psychoangel said, AAAing 9s is hardly amateur. 11-12 FCs, and 11 SDGs. I would call that the line for posting in this thread.

Re: Semi-Pro FFR Scores

This thread isn't needed whatsoever; it's just another way to segregate parts of the community and to promote elitism.

Not to mention, it's just going to get a bunch of people who end up doing well on 11s/12s and then the whole argument of people not belonging in the thread starts again, etc. If you can AAA 9s and 10s, you should be posting in the FFR scores thread, no excuses.

Personally, I'd like to see this thread locked. If newer/intermediate players would like a safe haven to post (i.e. Amateur Scores thread), that's fine. It'll help them build confidence as they move up within the ranks of that thread. But having people who are probably better than a good majority of the community (note: not just forum members) take up a thread is absurd.

EDIT: I'd also like to add - most of the people posting in the amateur scores thread aren't amateurs - AAAs on 8s/9s, SDGs on 10s, halfway decent scores on 11s...

etc.

I don't condone the current usage of the amateur scores thread, at all.

So the amateur thread allows for a total of 9 difficulties to be AAAd up to.

Then this thread is only for 2 levels of AAA's one of which is already covered by the other thread technically.

Then the normal ffr scores thread is just for FMO and FGO AAA's or super good scores since not many can AAA 12s.

So what about all the newbies that the amateur thread was originally made for? They're completely overshadowed in there. Everyone wants to talk about fairness but it's never really a fair balance is it? I actually feel like this is all going to become more confusing than anything for users that aren't around so much or are new to the forum.

Re: Semi-Pro FFR Scores

This isn't elitism, the point is I see there being a group of players who have no where to post their scores. Lock the thread if you want, don't really care.

Re: Semi-Pro FFR Scores

no, you have somewhere to post your scores.

You just choose NOT to. Stop being worried about being over-shadowed by other players. Here's a little tidbit - I was actually posting in the amateur scores thread when playing one-handed because I feel like it's a skill I should work on. Being proficient with both hands is key to being a strong player.

I was barely FCing 8s, and I posted in there without being afraid of how pitiful my scores were. Lo and behold, within a week, I FC'd two 9s. Use the thread for your own personal accomplishments, not comparisons!

There's no point in "bragging" if you're not impressing someone, is there?

Re: Semi-Pro FFR Scores

Re: Semi-Pro FFR Scores

lol attention whores

I was tempted to write something less blatant but honestly this pretty much sums it up.

I see lower level players getting comments in the FFR scores thread, and I see some of my scores getting ignored from time to time. Do I care? No.

Re: Semi-Pro FFR Scores

See this is what I figured was going to happen. I'm going to close this up before it goes any more crazy. I'm going to grab a bite to eat then maybe I can brainstorm with a few people to find a possible solution to this problem since it's something that has been brought up before and we seem to still have no real conclusion for it.

I am completely open to suggestions on this just leave them in a pm or comment or IM me or something if you have one.
