Lar:

1. are you using the main domain or a mirror
2. what is your firewall like?

it is almost certainly one of those issues... i know you're at a boarding school, and chances are their firewall is blocking you from being able to save credits and record scores.

Izlude: sync hasn't been touched since it was released publically... Shash came home and told me it was sync'd perfectly. I did the Happy Dance.

Horizon is a great file. I'd really like to play a harder file by JX...

Re: 12 Songs of FFRmas Discussion

Horizon seems pretty good. It feels like there are a few main patterns, but they come in smaller pieces that change up often enough to keep me thinking. Unfortunately, this is out of easy FC range for me because I'm not a great player. With a bit of practice, I'm fairly sure that I will get it. I just need to get a bit more familiar with the patterns and changes in the song. It's not *too* hard for my fingers, as I can hit most of it, but getting them all isn't working for me right now and I'll get frustrated if I keep trying and screwing up.

Since the songs are supposed to be getting harder over the 12 days, and we're already half way up the difficulty scale, I don't imagine I'll be getting many more FCs, if any at all. I think I can get this one (Horizon), and maybe one more if it's a similar difficulty, but it looks like that'll be it for me. Oh well, hopefully the songs will be good and fun to play even if I'm still bad at them.

Edit: Got it. I gave it another try after a little break, and FCed it. It's not a great score, and hopefully I can improve it with some more practice, but at least I got the FC. That gives me a bit more hope at doing well (for my ability) on the next song, so I feel a bit better now.

Dronak: the next 3-4 will all be in the 2-3.5 range... I'm just trying to mix in different sounds, different artists, different stepfile authors... i don't want any 2 in a row to be too similar.

Err...oops...I meant a new JX file...

I'm looking forward to the next song...

Re: 12 Songs of FFRmas Discussion

expect more from JX... as I said, I've had 2 of his files in my normal queue for a while now, and he's writing me up another specifically for this 12 days of FFRmas. So there will be at least 1 more JX file.

Re: 12 Songs of FFRmas Discussion

Ah, OK. That's reasonable, mixing things up to keep it fresh. I know you or someone said they wouldn't all necessarily be exactly in difficulty order. I guess I just didn't expect to see them bop around too much on the low end.

From what you said, it sounds like there's a relatively even spread across difficulty levels. About half of the songs go from 1-3.5, and the other half from about 3.5-6. That's good. Thanks for the heads-up on the rough difficulty of coming songs. I should have a few more chances at FCs than I thought. (FWIW, high 3 to 3.5 and up is out of my FC range right now.)

Re: 12 Songs of FFRmas Discussion

I guess I can say it.... tonight's song will be easier than Horizon...


and, I was the one to say that they wouldn't be going in exact order from easiest to hardest... we're doing the easier songs first and the harder songs last... but at the same time, we're trying to mix things up so that nobody has 2 files released in a row... which is not all that easy of a task.

Re: 12 Songs of FFRmas Discussion

Day 3's song will be up really really soon.... slight SNAFU is causing the delay.
