That's all good, but you need to keep in mind that you're not just supposed to have stuff that is just perfect for you. Not everyone is going to be pleased by every file. This is a game for everyone.

What I figure is, if you're a simfile artist, write them so that they're fun to you. If they aren't considered good by the judges, oh well. At least you've got a nice home-made simfile to play in SM. =)

Additionally, as with anything, if you enjoy what you're doing, it's bound to turn out better anyway. And with practice I'm sure you'll be able to breach the judging boundaries.

That's my mentality. I mean, I do conciously avoid 3-framers and stuff, but if they want me to do something that I think hurts the quality of the stepfile in order for it to be accepted. I won't do it.

If it has only tiny one problem like just a bit gap off or one note miss and the rest is good, we will + it and fix it. Except this case, we can't do.

It's impossible to make a file that can please everyone.
At least we need to avoid files that many people will hate.

3-framers are only allowed on consistently hard songs, especially classical ones with a good musical reason, this is our stance for now.
If the jack issue is fixed perfectly, this will be changed though.

**brothaice** · 06-14-2007, 04:17 AM

Heh, just played my Canonized file and realized how long its been since I played it. All the rythems are correct, but theres a quite a few missing and miss placed jumps. Sorry Tass, if I would've played it sooner, I would've told you not to play it.

Would'nt say it sucked though.

TD_Twelve · 06-14-2007, 07:27 AM

I'm gonna guess my file failed pretty hard.

BDN, They judge sims off of feedback they receive on older songs. I believe this came up when Hi19 said his file should had made it in cuz the sim to Crowdpleaser made it in, and Tass said that CP didnt go over that well so no more CP-like steps. The people pretty much tell Tass, Shash, and JX what types of songs thy like

Other then that: this thread got bookmarked

Hey, just an idea Tass, but maybe you should just halt acceptions for a while. It seems to me that there is a hell of a lot going on right now, and having over 50 files in the queue in my opinion is far too many at one time, especially with more coming in all the time. Maybe just stop until there is under 30 or something. That would mean that everything could be sorted out in a sufficient time frame, and would also give us some extra time to quality check our files!

One downside thogh; as soon as it's reopened you would have a STORM of files, so maybe limit the number of files from the same person in one batch. Maybe a maximum of 4 or 5, but when people give in 16 at once that's a little over the top. Sure, it means that you have a higher chance to get in, but it just causes so much grief for the judges. Surely you can wait just a little while longer, and release them in smaller bites?

Just my proposition!

**Tasselfoot** · 06-14-2007, 12:19 PM

your 2nd paragraph is the reason why i won't halt submissions. capping it for 1 batch... i may do that. i'll need to review some of the data from this batch after we're done, see how many files were accepted from those who submitted 5+ (3 people submitted at least 12).

This is a really good idea. It'll also shorten the queue by a little bit every week.

**Tasselfoot** · 06-14-2007, 02:07 PM

i think, if anything, we limit it by week. that way, the amount of time it takes us to do a batch is meaningless.

2 files per week max. if you submit more than that, i'll put them away in a seperate folder for the following batch, or the batch after that, etc etc etc. i will also come to your house and flog you with a wet noodle.

**jimerax** · 06-14-2007, 02:15 PM

If you want to set a cap for # of files, that's still a lot.

1 file per a week is fine for me, or 3 files per two weeks.

**Rebirth0** · 06-14-2007, 02:22 PM

That just screws over people like me who finish like 10 files in the same day...

**hi19hi19** · 06-14-2007, 02:22 PM

If you cap it, make it 2 or 3 files per week max. No higher. It'll encourage more testing and reflection, which is also good.

EDIT- Ninja'd by Rebirth. His post has made me reconsider: max 1 per month only please XD

Then do something else that's productive XD

ps. I want to be flogged with a wet noodle first!

**l Endorphin l** · 06-14-2007, 03:09 PM

I really hope R3 will have a better song selection screen.
Something a lot more organized.
That would help a few things. And also, I say you release every song in the batch during some holiday.
That would solve your queue problem.

**brothaice** · 06-14-2007, 03:43 PM

R3 should have a wheel with categories, kind of like it does now, but the songs stay on the wheel like in SM.

Yeah, thats my totally unoriginal idea for ya.

**Tasselfoot** · 06-14-2007, 05:48 PM

his files have been fairly good, from what i recall. i've been pretty happy with this batch, overall. mostly +? type stuff.

and for people like rebirth and hi19, who get 80% of their files in the queue, i'm not worried about a cap. its only for the mortals who need 3-4 revisions on each file before its queue worthy, yet are still sending in 15 files each batch.

i really would rather have 2-3 amazing files from each person than 15 mediocre ones. considering its a waste of my time, and their time.

sammo123 · 06-14-2007, 05:49 PM

you might not be able to play mone cuz i sent it to yuo then got a new computer and didnt transfer my files to my new computer but i dont know
