Judge Nominations:

JX
Bmah
Electric Werewolf
Behanjc
Xandertrax
Patashu (I still like his judging)


Also, if I have an updated version of a file of a song that was in the latest queue before Tass stopped it, can I send the updated version in and it be swapped?

Umm, why am I considered a nominee when I'm currently still volunteering to judge? IIRC, only dore wanted out - and that itself might be temporary while he's busy.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

of course current judges (blu and bmah) can stay.
just one or two judge(s) that alternate dore may be needed.

things required for judges are,
- have enough simfile knowledge and skill
- have enough motivation and time
- trustworthy enough in personality

also by adopting more judges, the judgement quality will be better but it makes the judgement slower.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

i think i have enough simfile knowledge and skill
i have motivation and time
id say im trustworthy

more judges is also great but no more than 4

Question: Will there still be "Hands = FMO" rule?

[Ghakimx]

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

DUN DUN DUUUUN.
I still think so.

Also, I won't pass up the opportunity to submit easy files to FFR. We REALLY need more of those in the game.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Question: Will there still be "Hands = FMO" rule?

I'm guessing that it would still apply, but I'm not really sure. The original intent for that rule was to make FFR a functional game for the most part to every user, and that would include those who don't have keyboards that register three or more keys simultaneously by default.
For those of you who are well into the game, this would hinder stepping creativity for files of that difficulty, but from a internet traffic perspective, having songs (except FMOs and FGOs) be completely functional for every keyboard is more user-friendly.
And once one decides to be serious about playing FFR, the former casual player with a keyboard that only registers two keys would be more motivated to find out how to make his keyboard register more keys simultaneously. Other than that, the casual player with the same keyboard would be turned off to find that a quarter of the songs on FFR can't be played to his likings - and that casual player wouldn't likely bother to modify his keyboard.

That's pretty much how I understand the implementation of the rule.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

In addition to the keyboard issue bmah mentioned, there're still many people who hate hands and think they are complete bull**** (especially DDRers). so some restriction will remain because files without hands are needed, current restriction could be loosened a bit though.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Will we ever allow multiple charts per song and end the endless tyranny of 'every new song on FFR is a VC/FMO'???

I think this was discussed before and the problem was more along the lines of 'people don't submit a lot of easy charts for hard songs'. We've had a lot of v2's in the game before, so I don't think putting easy charts ingame would be against FFR's philosophy, even if some people might prefer not to do that.

PS: there are actually a bunch of unreleased widget songs out there that are easier charts of preexisting songs... for instance DSoK has a Light and Standard version.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

yeah there'd be multiple charts allowed if there were multiple charts for each song in the game and separate ranking for each difficulty, if you know what I mean.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

We don't we have an easy file event like we had an FMO/FGO event back in the day? . . .

[Patashu]

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

even if easy charts were submitted as v2s they'd require some kind of skill token thing to unlock, which kind of negates the point

more or less every single other rhythm game has multiple charts with equal standings for each song, ffr is the oddball and it suffers for it

I'll step easy charts for already existing songs if it can be guaranteed that they'll get in the game as well

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

3rd style will have multiple charts
