Well realistically there's a real simple solution to this, no more new files for official tournaments. Just use what's in game. I personally hate that idea but it would make it fair to everyone.

I think that's the reason why it was suggested, haha -- it's to emphasize that there's either one way, or no way.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions CLOSED)

Actually I was reminded of it when Carlos posted because before this one started he asked if it were really necessary to have new files for every tournament.

The solution is to simply put have more batches, make opportunities available to everyone, and to post pone the tourney until the file count is met.

You're just jumping to that solution because you refuse to even consider for a moment another. Calm down, take a step back, and put some thought into it.

Also, I cannot take your challenge. It's not fair to the TB members to use the engine for my own means. I'm not that kind of person. I don't want to be that way. I won't be that way. I only respond to that challenge, because it's forced. I'd like to disregard it as nonsense though, which it is to me.

But I don't think I can honestly argue my point with you all. I feel you're not taking it seriously or thinking about it in more ways than your own. It's 1 VS 100 or so here, and the odds of getting the victory, or my point across, is narrow. (1 VS 100 is not meant to be taken literally.)

I was given a warning for stepping slightly out of line with swearing, but other than that I did nothing "wrong."

Starting drama in every thread you post in is EXPLICITLY against the site rules:

General Rules - A.K.A Things Not To Do
- Bait staff or other users; deliberately try to test site rules;

By bring up a stale point regarding file submissions that Kayla and AJ have already repeatedly clarified, you are baiting FFR staff into an argument. Banworthy.

You'd honestly have to ask the remaining staff at this point. I dropped all my mod titles and such.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions CLOSED)

But arguments are where ideas sprout from, I would think!

Any who... where's ma' batch? Snivy demands it, if nothing else!

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions CLOSED)

I still think we should hold more batches and accept less files per batch. Only the best files get accepted; and with less time between batches there's more of an incentive for people to improve their submitted files until they are amazing (and for people to keep stepping new stuff for FFR!). Sure, maybe it's more work for judges. But each batch *would* be smaller, and given how many people wait till the last few days to look at the files it doesn't seem like making time is that big of a problem. If it is, though, you can decrease the work by having one person go through first and see which files are obvious accepts/rejects.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions CLOSED)

The issue that always comes up in that type of situation is what's really considered an "amazing file." Most people have different views on what's good and enjoyable and what's not. I mean yeah there are some obvious things that we all know but where do we get the criteria for being amazing or perfect? We've all seen instances where one judge will rate a file extremely high and another extremely low.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions CLOSED)

Generally amazing and generally perfect

There are files that almost everyone agrees is a good file. Its not hard yo go through a batch prior to judging and pick out the terrible ones that had no chance to begin with
