Gamewhore Competition #2 - Lowest Average Rank

Re: Gamewhore Competition #2 - Lowest Average Rank

I don't know why everyone is coming up with such weird ass strategies. This is very easy:

Go to your levelranks page.
Scroll to the bottom.
Play the last song, get a good rank.
Play the next song up, get a good rank.
Etc, etc.

This is the fastest way to get your av rank down because you're knocking off the worst ranks first. If you don't have credits to play a secret song when it pops up, just don't play it. Wait until you have enough credits from whoring half the game.

Tass, is this username ok? Seeing as GWC_Kynosaur and GWC_ Kynosaur are taken -.-

EDIT: Oh and also, can we start getting Tokens and Skill tokens before the competition starts? Or do we have to wait for that too?

Not part of your average level rank.

Tass said he is going to mass wipe all of the GWC accounts before the competition day, so it does not really matter what you do beforehand. Unlock away, it will not matter in the long run.

Someone could pre AAA every song they can after preloading the songs and unplugging the internet. Plugging in your internet would register every score and you could drop to a 200 average rank instantly.

That or you could preload every song in order on the new account in seperate tabs. Let it sit at the results screen and then come competition day, play through every tab by just pressing replay this song.

I'm under the impression that you have absolutely no ****ing idea what you're talking about.

Re: Gamewhore Competition #2 - Lowest Average Rank

p.s. This has more strategy than you guys seem to think...I'll post some of my thoughts to help y'all, as I can't/won't compete.

Consider the following:

-It's drastically unlikely that anyone will sit the full 24 hours to play every song available and still be AAA'ing everything or really even anything. Mashing vrofl for that amount of time is one thing since you don't even have to look at the screen for that, but even for easier songs like 5's and 6's you have to have some degree of concentration to AAA stuff, and staring at a screen for that long is going to be very, very hard. Maybe someone will have the dedication, free time, and skill that this requires, but I doubt it.
-Shorter songs should absolutely take priority. Anyone who plays through the entirety of FFLBF as anything but the very last song is using poor strategy. Similarly, everyone should play and AAA Excite Bike immediately. It's worth your time to calculate the rank points vs length of songs beforehand, if you want to have a chance of placing top5 without spending 24 hours.
-Older songs, or popular/very played songs, should obviously take priority as well. No one should play Holy Orders for this even if they do get the credits for it (which they won't sans some kind of incredible gambling luck), since it's worthless rank-wise, and the default rank will suffice.
-Quitting out of songs or even using autofail is a very viable strategy, as that will shave off thousands of rank points while saving a lot of time.
-There's a proper order to get the Secret and Purchased songs in.
-Preload everything, as someone else already said, unless your connection is so good that loading times are trivial.
-AAA'ing is unimportant for the harder songs, but crucial for the easy songs. Quit-outs are incredibly useful for FMO's and FGO's, especially the old/popular/long ones. I would guess that comboing the first 300 notes of FotBB and quitting out is a far better rank/time investment than AAA'ing it.
-NEVER replay any song except for maybe Excite Bike. Even if you **** up Mario or something and get a good, the replay isn't even close to worth it rank-point wise.
-Don't forget that token songs don't count.

yeah, this competition's pretty awesome, hahaha, way better than the grandtotal one.

I smell trolls.

GWC_Mr.Nothing is in the batch.

P.S. - Players with contact lenses lose now.

What Shash said...

correction

Oh...didn't see that at first. My mistake.

The quick find menu can be ordered by difficulty, thus you have every song that you really need to play in order to get your average rank down.

EDIT: Somewhat ninja'd by Shash on this bit of input...

It depends partly on your skill level. If you have trouble AAA'ing easier songs the first time around but are good at combo'ing tough stuff, do the latter beforehand, since for a less difficult song, a few goods from the AAA can put your rank above 1000, whereas for FGO's/FMO's, FC'ing is no longer a given, so PA loses much of its influence on rank.

This.

And this probably sounds stupid but how do you preload the songs?
That sounds redundant if it's the way I am thinking.

Re: Gamewhore Competition #2 - Lowest Average Rank

Get on the account, load everything up and don't play it once, and don't exit the window.

You will have no loading times whatsoever if you do this.

Re: Gamewhore Competition #2 - Lowest Average Rank

Wow i was trying to not make it so obvious that i was ban evading but if naruto in my name is auto pilot for fail then i guess it sort of worked.

If you preload a song, and then unplug your internet you can still play the song. If it is sitting at the results screen and you replug in your internet the score will register. If you do this in 400 internet browsers then you will instantly gain 400 or so AAA's.

Re: Gamewhore Competition #2 - Lowest Average Rank

Oh, that makes sense.
And I suggest everyone that plans on seriously participating in this to close all other programs, except for a notepad document with your song playing strategy.

That would be very very obvious, and Tass would disqualify them.

Re: Gamewhore Competition #2 - Lowest Average Rank

The 2nd thing i said was to preload every song in a separate browser and then

Click tab 1, play the song by hitting retry. Close the tab.
Click tab 2, play the song by hitting retry. Close the tab.

etc...
