Just figured I'd bring up the idea of constant improvement to avoid stagnation. Something something people keep leaving :/ Last edited by Bach96; 08-25-2020 at 10:31 PM.. |

Re: 13th Official Tournament
People leaving has nothing to do with the OTs though.

This site is never going to be what it once was because of how poorly run it currently is and your refusal to accept help from anybody competent.

Re: 13th Official Tournament
I think that's a bit harsh, it's one thing to say "please take constructive feedback" and it's another to "throw the baby out with the bath water" and say FFR can never return to some lost glory days because of a few blips during and OT. Seemed to me to go quite smoothly, and one or two songs out of place isn't ruining the entire site or something.

This post is hilarious and I love how you only ever come out of the woodwork to talk nasty about me. 1. Yep, we'd all love to see it at it's former glory, me running tournaments is hardly the reason for any decline in the site. Blame the almost year long downtime then lack of progression that followed for quite some time because a lot of things COULDN'T happen. 2. Really? You'd love to be in my position? Go ahead then and do it lmao. I don't have a "tournament organizer" title. Please name all these people who have offered to help, I'll wait. And then tell me how many actually have when I'm like okay come help. 3. Complain about very evident problems, well lets see half of them were "I'm mad cause I'm bad at the file" complaints. Some are just beating a dead horse of a mistake we realized we made. Guess what, at the end of the day we're all still human. There's no way to 100% perfect this, especially with how much players are changing. We're adapting as fast as we can. 4. Yeah, I do think people should be more appreciative of all the time and effort people put in to keeping FFR alive. We could have all easily walked away when synth was gone for a decade, instead we did our best to try to keep it going and the community engaged. It becomes less and less worth it the more people sit here and badger us over simple things. 5. Aj rated circle pit a 72 initially, so yeah he took the blame on it himself. I didn't shove it off on him. I love how you took me taking the blame for some of the early stuff as me making it clear I had 100% of power. So you're mad at me for not taking blame when I was taking blame, lol. I mean just admit what this really is, you've never liked me and you're going to always twist anything I do into a negative. 6. Admit I don't do as much as I claim to do? What? 7. Refusal to accept help from anybody competent? Hmm so you mean because we didn't put Rob back on difficulties right? Cause that wasn't just my decision. I tried getting more judges, people fell off quickly that did apply (not that there were many to begin with). You talk so much crap but literally have no idea how many times I've tried to get help, only for the people to get their title then do absolutely nothing, or be here for a short while then poof away. What's even funnier is I left for like a year? Year and a half? I can't remember. And nobody stepped up, nothing was getting done. Someone could've run an OT, nobody did. You also seem to forget I haven't run all of them and the complaints have still flown when others ran them. Do you even remember all the super old tournaments and how those used to go? Lol, there's been HUGE improvements but everyone wants to harp on the negative rather than try to make a positive experience, and THAT is what's going to kill things. Stop trying to push off all the blame on me as if I'm the downfall of the site when I've put in countless hours at this point just trying to scrape by and keep it as active as I could with what I'm capable of.

In regards to the second statement of yours, Kayla has made it very clear how she feels about me over the years. I would love nothing more than to help. I know with certainty she would never "allow" me to be on staff.

@ everything else -- I love how you're actually trying to speak for me as if it wasn't my fault. I took the blame because I was helping with estimations and putting things in place, and I made a mistake marking the file. I was tasked with trying to at least give estimations for things and I legitimately felt like the difficulty for the file wasn't as high as it was perceived by the community. But hey, if someone makes a mistake, it's alright for you to conveniently pounce on it as a measure of any claims of partiality. Anything to cling to make any sort of point.

Re: 13th Official Tournament
Despite my earlier criticisms mentioned in the thread (which I still stand by), the official tournament was still a ton of fun. Coming back from hiatus really forced me to rebuild the skills I once had and balancing that with real-life duties was a fun but stressful challenge. The competition was extremely fierce and I had a ton of fun overall.
Thanks to all of the organizers and the stepartists for their contributions! I know that it isn't easy to organize a tournament and how producing many charts can be a very time-consuming process, so your time and effort really made the overall experience fun to be a part of. It reminds me of my nostalgic days when I used to be extremely competitive, so thank you for reminding me how fun FFR is and how great the community is. Thank you to my D6 competitors for making the challenge exciting and fun. A small handful of you guys recently got D7 status, so although I don't see myself competing with you guys in the future, I hope that you continue to do well and have a ton of fun in future OTs. I hope to see the rest of you and some potential D5 current players in the next OT Congrats to all of the winners! Thanks again everyone!

Re: 13th Official Tournament
Congrats to all winners and participants! This was a fun and intense OT. I experienced a lot of stress during round 5 as I was constantly playing to get into the top 8 and I had to wait to see what scores other competitors got.
