File Testing v3

[cedolad]

With the other thread dead now, I took it upon myself to make a v3 thread, just to give the judges less critiquing and more of fine-tuning a file.

How (and why) to Add Silence to Your Files

Not sure who's active anymore, so post your information (AIM,MSN, Email etc.) so I have a good idea of who's available for this. I'd copy and paste the other thread but like I said, no idea who's active.

An idea I had would be to use Jx's point system in the Queue thread.

[How to get Simfile Artist Points]

Having a file (or more) in the game or queue -> +10
Getting 18/20 or more points in a file (11/27/2010 batch or later) -> +2
Getting 17/20 or fewer points in a file, which is accepted (11/27/2010 batch or later) -> +1

* collaboration files won't add points for you, but when you submit a collaboration file it's counted as 0.5 submission for each stepper.

[Bonus/Penalty] (on 4 judges/team system)

Getting 20/20 in a file -> bonus +1
Getting ++ from 2 judges -> bonus +2
Getting ++ from 3 judges -> bonus +5
Getting ++ from 4 judges -> bonus +10
Getting 4/20 in a file -> penalty -1
Getting -- from 2 judges -> penalty -2
Getting -- from 3 judges -> penalty -5
Getting -- from 4 judges -> penalty -10
Submitting more files than the cap intentionally with alt account -> penalty -3
Apparently stealing steps from other simfiles -> penalty -10

ex) A file got (++, ++, +, +), then +2 for 18/20 or more, +1 bonus for 20/20, +2 bonus for got ++ from 2 judges. Total +5pts.

Figure it out yourself. I'll be using this instead of LONEvvolf's color key. I'll still be using his boarder key though, and I'll try to make it more visual and less of an eyestrain.

Get crackin' so I can update this.
