basically... you have absolutely no right to try and trash something that we've put so much time and effort into... and you've been participating in for free, with cash and merchandise prizes. it isn't our fault that you're upset in not being able to AAA your song. would you be any less upset if you got 50 goods on a song when you needed 49 to advance? i doubt it.

Tass kicks ass

Every round has had to been an AAA to pass. I'm getting tired of having to get perfect accuracy on every song just to get to the next round.

I can't even pass this round because I have 1 good. 1 good. There's not even a tiebreaker anymore; I have to get 0 goods on this thing to pass to Round 5.

What a joke.

THE WEAK SHALL PERISH. ONLY THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE!

No one forced you to join.

So you will agree with me that they should have spent more time placing people?

Thank you for making it a day shorter. Since I am out of town and the best thing I get is one bar signal to barely even make this reply, I am out of luck in even trying to load my FFR song. Thank you. By the way, I get back tonight. It is very official of you to magically shorten the round.

I apologize. I have seen so many ranks in the 6 digits when trying to clean up my average rank 3 days ago that I assumed it began with 6 digits.

Thank you for choosing the songs, but might I ask why Beginner got a song that people can barely even full combo when Expert gets songs that you must hit every note perfect to advance? Also, I can't even AAA the Advanced song nor the Intermediate song. On Comfort Betrays I got 8 goods and Bricks I got 2 goods. When looking at my level ranks, I have no idea how I got placed with, say, you for example, have about 133 songs you haven't AAA'd when I have 487 that I haven't. I would like for you, Sprite-, or devonin to please PM me, or inform me when you reply in this thread, the specific reason I got placed in the same division as you.

If this statement holds true:

I have no idea how judging from my overall rank, average rank, # of AAAs, and # of FCs that I got placed in Expert.

Indeed, which is why I would like you to point out where I trashed your tournament. All I have done is basically pointed out facts and information and asked you questions and you assume I'm vandalizing your property.

Actually it is.

No I wouldn't. If I got 50 goods, I would understand that I have insufficient skill to play the song asked of me in order to pass to the next round of the competition. Since I got 1 good, that being one good that I felt was randomly placed in the song since it was an awkward pink note at the start of a gallop-jump on a part of the song that sounded a single beat, I feel like I wasn't prepared correctly to be placed against that song, leaving me to assume that I have not had enough practice to be in my division with players that have been here for longer than 4 years. That one good was one that I felt I hit correctly, so whether it be lag or human error, it is one note out of 1109 notes that should not be the determination of if I pass or fail in an official competition that claims to have placed me of part a pack of equally skilled players. This proves that you have had more practice than I have:

D1 - 2

D3 - 4
D4 - took me 5 tries to get 4 goods
D5 - 3 tries to get 19-0-0-5

In conclusion, if you have felt that I have offended you in any way I sincerely apologize, for I was merely asking questions. You and several other players seemed to have gotten very hostile when I barely even brought it up.

Give me your thoughts and feelings, I'm interested in hearing a reply.

People like you, who have no clue about anything, make me laugh. The round was a day shorter because of the tiebreaker day from last round. Last round's tiebreaker ended on Friday at 11:59PM. This round is still ending on Thursday like every round does. I did not end it one day shorter. I started it one day later because of a tiebreaker.

People like you make me laugh because you fail to realize this round is a day shorter, or from at least you claimed, than the rest of the rounds. If the round ended Friday, and the songs were released Saturday, wouldn't you agree that the next round should end on Friday night and not Thursday night, according to the pattern you declared in the official rules of your tournament?

[TC_llama499]

guys stop bitching and just play the damn songs. i cant even see all the competition because all i see is people bitching. Tass should make a thread for u guys to complain in so u dont just spam up everything, and then just delete the thread whenever you people stop complaning

[E_skittles]

onto round 5

[Beethovens mask]

T)r6g0n, I'm just going to ask you straight up to stop bitching. It's not Sprites or Tasses fault that your leaving on vacation. Even if you did pass to the next round, you couldn't submit for the next round anyway.

Nobody in this tournament is misplaced, sorry.

Get over it and let Sprite- do his job.

[Sprite-]

Show me where it says that every round will be 7 days no matter what? This is what I see http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/?p=1037

Note the (unless otherwise noticed) part. Yeah. Don't tell me I'm going against what I said.

Also, the reason why you are in D4 is because of your VC AAA's. No one in D3 had a VC AAA when I placed them.

Since one day was taken up by a ti- Ugh why am I even bothering, you're an idiot.

I mean, honestly, you're trying to say that since you blackflagged your song you don't belong in Expert, Jesus.

Yeah it's pretty pathetic. He's obviously good enough for D4 if he made it to round 4. And 1 good isn't much of a difference in skill level from a AAA, so he could manage it.

I apologize that you're going on vacation. My fault for starting this at an inconvenient time for you. Next time I'll contact you to make sure you're not going on vacation during the tournament. Everyone else can wait.

My advice: quit while you're not really ahead.

[ninjaKIWI]

Oh PS Sprite what colour do you use for the scores on the front page?

orange

I'm not "bitching". I'm asking questions. If you want to prohibit me from stating my opinion and asking questions and try to harass me about it, I feel that you are the one that should stop whining about me trying to talk. I did not leave on vacation, I left to drive my mom to the emergency room in Texas because she's about to go blind, and your inconsiderate selfish person you call yourself can't take in the feelings of others for just a split second to realize my situation. I could submit for the next round because I am coming home tonight. Also, I have several people that state otherwise that there are people misplaced in this tournament.

I'm an idiot for trying to save my mother from going completely blind. She has had surgery in both eyes to reduce her eye pressure using valves and cateracs (sp) and now she has almost full retinal detachment. Yes. You're correct that I'm an idiot. Thank you. For your second comment, I have not blackflagged that song on accident, I worked my ass off with full focus to try to get that and I felt that I was lucky to get a blackflag and I was in the next round. Unfortunately, I felt that my luck wasn't enough to surpass anyone else's skill. I have tried and tried again to AAA that song and I eventually come up with 17, 23, and once i even hit in the 30s. Yes. I do not belong in Expert.

I see the "unless otherwise noticed" part now, but I find it kind of fishy that you can just change it whenever you feel like because you want to get to the next round as fast as possible.
If I'm in D4 because of my VC AAA's, where are the people in D4 with the FMO AAA's?


Edit: "I apologize that you're going on vacation. My fault for starting this at an inconvenient time for you. Next time I'll contact you to make sure you're not going on vacation during the tournament. Everyone else can wait."

Once again, it was not a vacation, it was an EMERGENCY. Thank you. You're very appreciative of the disabled. Your immaturity shows a lot about your character, and I feel that you should not have been the leader of an official tournament this big.

Edit2: "Your complaining isn't helping you at all, and it certainly is not going to change anything. You won't be moved to a lower division, and they aren't going to change the song selection just because you want them to.

I am not complaining. Tell me where I stated that I want to be moved to a lower division and also where I stated that I want the song selection to be changed.
