7th Official FFR Tournament - Page 218

**bmah** · 08-8-2012, 08:29 PM

soulwar is currently being investigated. If he's simply making fair play yet trying his best, then there's nothing for him to be worried about.

Meanwhile, this thread will be temporarily locked. We don't want speculation to turn into a distasteful argument, do we?

edit: The investigation is complete and so this thread is now unlocked. Please don't get out of hand, guys.

Continuing the discussion in a civilized manner... I completely agree with noname's solution to this (I was about to suggest the EXACT same thing, but he beat me to it). Soulwar has stated that he/she doesn't care about prizes and is mostly interested in competing in the tournament. Proceed with the tournament and rankings as if Soulwar weren't even in the competition, and consider Soulwar as an "extra". Rankings 1-16 should be calculated as normal, with prizes distributed accordingly. AFTER those have been calculated, you should then place Soulwar into the mix to determine whether he/she advances to the next round as well as what the overall rank should be. This way, none of the current D4 competitors are affected by the situation while at the same time, Soulwar is still able to compete.

Now, what prizes should be given out to Soulwar is completely up to the discretion of the people running the tournament (whether it be credits, tokens, etc). Everyone just has to realize that mistakes are impossible to avoid when it comes to choosing divisions, plain and simple. Obviously some people are going to cheat and everyone has their suspicions, but lets face it... its a game. If this is really so much of a problem, then we should just have one huge division so nobody is butthurt (I'm sure everyone would just LOVE that). Just have fun, and enjoy the competition.

Kinda wanna shit my pants. I'm tied with people for tiebreaker round...

dAnceguy117 · 08-9-2012, 04:25 PM

findarian, did you bump me off the bubble spot? youuuuuu

dammit I keep telling myself I won't play so my mindblocks will fade, and then I see what the standings are. if I were in last I wouldn't give a ****, but being on the borderline is terribly aggravating.

edit: there is now a gnat in my room that only flies in my face when I'm playing ffr.

bob bob · 08-9-2012, 04:31 PM

and bob bob ... I'm pretty sure you are safe with that score

dAnceguy117 · 08-9-2012, 06:01 PM

^ riiiiiiiight? lmfao

I figured out a workaround for most of my mindblockage :') and it's the goofiest shit, too. I just stare down the 3 and 4 columns. like, to the point where 0% of my focus is on 1 and 2. no idea how my left hand knows what to do. gonna ragequit again soon, but I think I have a shot here.

anyone else have tips for mindblocks? looking right at the receptors seems to make mine worse. also I can't read dizzy, lol.

Try playing while listening to some music you really like and mute FFR, I almost always play like that and it helps me alot with nerves/mindblocks. Just focus a bit more on the music than on the game and let your fingers go. A few plays should be enough to get the right focus on game/music.

dAnceguy117 · 08-9-2012, 08:13 PM

thank ya. sounds good, shall try. I rely pretty heavily on the music, so I dunno if I'll get great results. at least I'll get to listen to something else for a while rofl.

**blindreper1179** · 08-9-2012, 08:14 PM

How the hell do you mute ffr, and not everything else on your computer?

Quite literally no one else in the clear has improved either. I'd bet you will make it safely through saturday, though one place and you have to tiebreak :c
