AAAing random stuff.

Getting lots of Tier Points (I want a spot on the list, don't care where).

Not playing MP.

Playing in a couple cool tournaments.

Still not understanding why people I've never heard of or talked to are upvoting my profile.

Getting way better.

Bitching about how bad this place is. I'm just on ITG withdrawal and I need a music game fix.

I lost one song because I was sightreading a FMO and my speed mod disappeared.

I lost one because I got a lagged miss in the last 100 arrows, would've otherwise won 3 to 14

I lost one because my quality didn't drop when I clicked it.

I lost another one 5-28 because I was lagging the whole time.

I've toasted 3 levels of MP rank away, and the majority of my losses were 1. lag 2. glitches 3. sightreads.

I'm out. MP still completely sucks.

Yeah, FFR still lacks any form of quality control on their charts. I can see why apparently 1.4 million people would eventually end up with accounts here, but I can also see why I stopped. I'm not sure whether to be impressed or disdainful that people who played back when I was tearing through the MP rankings have been playing the whole time since.

Learning heel-toe on ITG made learning four-finger pretty quick. Flagging Etude to a Dragon and stuff is pretty cool. At the same time, I look at the whole Tier Points system and shake my head. I'm still surprised when I find a synced file, and there are still plenty of the stupid gameplay glitches that make some songs downright unplayable.

I'll be here for a little while to try more of the new stuff and get some cool scores or something, but I'm pretty sure it's only because I'm on ITG withdrawal. Don't expect me to be around for a long time.

I forgot something in my last post. The people. Seeing Scottish again was so cool, and playing with him for the little bit, even though he demolished me (I knew he'd get amazingly good all along =D), was a lot of fun. I miss that guy. And everybody else.

It's really funny when you play and people are like "hey, were you on the Top 50 like a year ago?" They still remember me. Damn.

So I'm kinda getting back into this.

Idiots in the MP chat, absurdly bad and offsynced simfiles, the terrible scoring system, and the many random glitches made me realize why I quit in the first place. Then there's the handful of songs that I like and the competition that keep me around. I wish I was as good as I used to be.
