Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

[bmah]

ok, it comes up in a different order on my computer then
edit: -Glorious Morning- (or any file that begins with a symbol like "-") may be switched in a different order for some computers
edit2: that explains why I missed some files last time when initially doing reviews

[i love you]

Just played through my groups part of the batch and I really liked what I saw ^_^ which is really nice considering last batch. Now to go into the editor.

Of course! Two of the files I sent are in your section. XD

can terminal 11 be banned from having songs stepped?

[justin_ator]

Hahaha, Halogen, the irony. =P

[TC_Halogen]

WASN'T ME, MY FILE IS ON DF - BLAME DOSSAR/ZIER/EVERYONE ELSE

seriously though, I'm glad I didn't submit it here -- after conversion, it got completely massacred with framers...

t11 is fun to play >:3

My two terminal 11 files were experiments on certain things. Nosedive that I sent into this batch is interesting for its overall density (and I even convert the files to see framer placements too!)

Next batch I'm looking into Tonedeff/Futuristic Sex Robotz for hip hop since that's a desolate genre, as well as Theatrix (I sent an email requesting permission, they have some cool rock songs that could make shorter fun files). Most of the current permissions aren't satisfactory to me.

Can people be banned from judging if they give files bad ratings just because they don't like the song?

(im serious)

[justin_ator]

Halogen, I wasn't referring to that.

Think about it...your set of songs you're judging...

[ichliebekase]

I'm thinking qqwref might be tired of seeing -Glorious Morning- by now, considering that he's had my file for EVERY batch I have sent it to. Thought that was kind of funny.

But wow, judge team 2 seems to be on the pretty damn strict side..

[TC_Cyrenics]

Pehehe, great team to land my two files in.

Sim artist title here I come.

Yeah, *some* things aren't steppable. But people generally don't even try to step stuff like that, unless it's as a joke. I'm talking about decent files, on music that some people really enjoy, that are being given one or more bad ratings just because of the song or type of chart (js files for instance - if anyone hasn't noticed, there are like 5 good difficult ones in the entire game). With the current system, one bad rating can literally destroy a file's chances at being accepted... and sometimes that one judge is the type who will just say "not feeling it [?]". Good luck fixing those problems with your chart! Hope you don't get discouraged about the system!

Here's the thing: this is FFR, not some personal pack that's being made for a little Stepmania community. We have 1.7 million users, of which a few thousand will play most songs. I don't care what types of music are submitted because there will be a lot of people who like almost anything. Some people might not like complex noisy songs, or synthesized electronic music, or slow rock songs, or chiptune. But a good file from any of those genres will make quite a few people happy - and I think that's far more important than any one person's opinion.

[rushyrulz]

I agree with w_c and qqwref.

Last batch a certain someone (not me) got [++, +, +, ?] and didn't make the queue because one certain judge gave it a "?" for no apparent reason listed in their batch notes.

It confuses me and kinda pisses me off when one judge gives a file a ++ and another gives it a ? in the same batch.

EDIT: Cool, post 666.

Nomina Nuda Tenemus.
If you're gonna screen based on music don't let shit like that into the game.
Otherwise don't bother screening.
'Nuff said.

[leonid]

Nomina Nuda Tenemus is a great song wtf
