hey guys im going to be creative and work hard on this sim itll be original

okay im done that was hard, but man i think its good.

now ill submit it to someone else because judging my creativity is obviously the role of someone other than me

look you stupid guys, who gives a crap if ap is banned, or isnt running this, or whatever. i wouldnt give a **** if arch0wl rated biaxident a 5/10, i would still love the file for everything it did for me.

this whole "originality" is at once heartening and disappointing. its great to see people start to think for themselves, and maybe try something new. but its also horrible to see how such a great idea morphs into a disgusting mutation of a "generic" pack where everyone just submits what they have to one arbiter and they are the be all and end all.

look. what im trying to say is, originality is good. so is concerted effort. what is not good is bandwagoning and not thinking for youself. just because originality is good does not mean everyone needs to be so non-comformist that non-comformity is the new conformity.

Note: Since AP is banned, this pack might be on hold for about a year. Uh... yeah.

Note: His AIM is on the main page.

Wow, you're an idiot. That's me in the avatar. You can ask just about anyone. You should really do your homework before starting baseless allegations like this. Not only that, but you begin to play the rebellion card by attacking an observation that you apparently don't understand the validity behind. How annoying.

p.s. Since it's "oobviousssslllyy" not me (lol photobucket linkage to MY account with MY name with MY pictures), here's me looking at your post.

Z3ratul · 05-24-2006, 07:05 PM

I agree with you there Duk. The main reason I was excited is because it's hard as hell to sift through all the **** to find the good original files. AP is knowledgable enough to make a pack where I don't have to do that- it would all be right there. That's the bigger reason I'm disappointed.

Welcome to Stepmania. This is the new fad.

I'm still pissed that this is getting called off though. It would have been fun.

for a while anyway.Then we'd all find a new fad to whore out.

Soon pump files will rule the world.

**Patashu** · 05-25-2006, 01:02 AM

Getting called off? If you all want it as badly as you do, how hard could it be to appoint a new judge (or judges) to assemble the pack?

Zaghurim · 05-25-2006, 01:11 AM

Because people have certain expectations, and most judges can't meet those expectations. It doesn't matter. People know what's up by know.

DukAmok · 05-25-2006, 12:16 PM

hell ill judge if you want

but i doubt many people consider me as "technically sound" as aperson. i think i am though =((

DukAmok, Reach, Hayden and Toph, I choose you!

huh? Why them in particular?

dascookieman · 05-25-2006, 02:08 PM

No real reason, my post was not 100% serious

. Add a few Zaghurims and a couple of million blurks to that too and they will have some kinda party I believe.

Edit: Since Duk seems to be online now:
You could probably make something nice out of this, talk to ap.

T0rajir0u · 05-25-2006, 07:50 PM

hayden's too freeform. otherwise he would've stepped mei correctly.

although i agree that even if ap isn't willing to continue hosting/judging off of ffr, the pack isn't dead

**Rebirth0** · 05-25-2006, 07:57 PM

I could host this pack if I ever decide to get webspace or not.

Duk, originality isn't really a fad. With Stepmania, we've always had fads of genres of music to whore out because someone stepped something unique and everyone liked it. Originality is too broad a term to become a niche in itself. That is, unless jazz is the universal definition for original. >_>

Originality is something I'm looking for. However, for me, it's just another basis for evaluation of simfiles (and how much I like them). It goes along handily with fun, difficulty, and so on. I think what the community needs to focus on is single simfile releases. We haven't had very many since pre-F4.

zeppy_gorrila · 05-26-2006, 11:06 AM

I'm glad originality is a fad! What is everyone complaining about? What's so wrong with people doing their own thing and trying out new stuff?

Zaghurim · 05-26-2006, 12:00 PM

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing.

"yeah originality will become the new fad and everyone will whore it out"

"wait isn't that a good thing?"

danceguy go check out love tropicana rofl

DukAmok · 05-26-2006, 02:05 PM
