Aaaaand, fixed. I'll have Gradiant take a looksies, but I pretty much left the entire middle section untouched (except for the missing notes pointed out).

There be a reason I stepped it like that, and I remembeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrr!

Thanks for the inputs Gameboy and Dossar!

Why is DRAGONLADY in both Set 5 and Set 6?

It's actually not, things got a little messy after I pulled files out for the official tournament. I guess Silvuh up dated it on a spreadsheet with the new sets but it didn't end up in the forum I think. Gameboy did set 6 based on the spreadsheet and judged DATA DRAIN, Problematic, Real, Sunset Hamlin and Winter Night's Journey.

[gameboy42690]

For clarification, the correct sets should be as follows:

Set 1: Hatsune Miku no Gekishou, lapis, Crystallized Silver, gorechestra
Set 2: Hajnal 2, Exothermic (Overheat Remix), Waves, Space Threat, I'm Getting Serious!
Set 3: Sentence, AirTrip-SF#2-, Big Up Toronto, Kronos, ShutEmDown
Set 4: City drive, Yellow Smile, Aggressor, Theory of Everything 2, Powerhaus
Set 5: Death Moon, Smoke Weed Everyday, ELECTRiCiTY, Forbidden Tracks, Nekuro no Makkuro Kuro Majutsu, DRAGONLADY
Set 6: Real, Sunset Hamlin, Problematic, Winter Night's Journey, DATA DRAIN
Set 7: Stupor of peace, THOROUGH PINATA DICKING AMATEUR XXX, Pointless Fast Rap, Psycho soup, Elusive Reaches
Set 8: WE EAT AT FIVE FIVE FIVE (guys), Heavy Weather - The Storm ov The Undead, Hatsune Miku no Bousou, Guardians of Old, Dear My Sweetie

Anything else that was originally submitted to Nov/Dec 2014 was moved to the OT batch.

Thank you gameboy

I have just sent the fixes.

I hope I sent it to the right email.

Right?

And I lied, we did actually touch up the middle. Oops, we're determined.

Sets 1 and 2 have primary judgements and just need the reviewer notes. 3rd set I had started notes on but fell back on because of the OT batch. It's been tough because of the lack of active judges, but we are trying to get these out.

alright thanks.

also is it possible to move my file 'sniffing stardust on the dancefloor' into the official tournament batch?

[psychoangel691]

As I mentioned before in the OT batch thread, we went through all the batches to look for files we thought would fit the tournament. We're trying to avoid things that likely wont fit in to one of the slots because we already have 85 files we're judging and everything on our own over there. There are limited slots left, once we finish with all the files we already have I can see if it might fit somewhere, but it's unlikely.

[psychoangel691]

We need to get the activity up on the public judging. I think I've seen basically the same 4 people so far on everything. Help each other out, once a set has enough public judgements it should be pretty easy to get it complete.

[MarioNintendo]

I'm doing my best!

The public judging system has been on for less than a week, and the total number of sets judged is 29 so far. I think that it's a rather good speed, so no worries at all. More people will start judging, I'm sure.

Suggestion: I see that at least some of the sets have been roughly sorted by difficulty. Could each set have a short title telling the diff range of the files? Like 'easy', 'moderate' etc. We could direct new judges to judge more songs in their own comfort zone = potentially more judges and more accurate reviews

The point was the number of people reviewing not how many had been reviewed. Makes a pretty big difference to have the opinion of several different people rather than the same 4 over and over again (that's not saying I don't appreciate those who are doing it btw). And you can't actually say the number of sets judged so far is 29 when they're not to the point of final approval.

The only set I was remotely able to do that with was the January set, it's also grouped by simfile author so they can avoid the sets with their files in it. My original plan was for them to be difficulty and labeled as such, but most of the sets don't have that option because a lot of people step harder files.

I wouldn't worry about the amount of people judging files yet. This is still a new concept and it's been quiet lately anyway. It takes some time for people to hear about this.

This is the exact mentality that allows these things to just fizzle out and die. It's basically "oh well it's only been a little time lets just sit back and see what happens" rather than try to make sure it goes in the right direction. The reaction should be "Hey yeah! Let's work together and get this stuff going!" Reach out to FFR friends, make sure they know there's a new public judgement system, see if they will judge the sets your files are in, etc.

I've been pushing for a public system for a long time and personally I don't want to end up seeing "oh well it didn't work lets try to get some judges again"

I've also seen how many people have lurked that forum since it's creation, there are plenty people who are aware of it.

Glad you edited your post.

On topic: I think the thing with this is most of us that aren't currently associated with the stepfile process already don't really have too much to offer in the way of actual useful feedback. Would you rather have 4 people who know what they're doing or 100 people giving completely useless input?

I'd help but at my skill level the only files I could accurately give input on would be the 1-30 range and even then, not really knowing anything about this process, the information I could give would probably be absolutely pointless and a detriment to the process at the end of the day.
