Also, that whole thing is completely out of context and is not about his file but mine.

Also, internet sarcasm.

About Vertex, I think Tass doesn't want any other Vertex in the game but I'd rather not speak for him.

Rofl, I was bieng sarcastic too >_>

hence the bye at the end.

[rednanaki]

zomg yay

And whats the policy on hands? Does it have to be FMO+ for hands, because i have a borderline FMO song that has a few hands that work well but yeah.

[Netjet!]

Yeah, Fmo and Fgo are allowed hands.

If you decide to step Blue-Violet, Black and White, Lost in Mind, Ninja Lad, Starwolf, or The Lion's Dance, be prepared to have competition... Just saying. (I haven't been working as hard on Memories, Versatile, or Wave Rip...)

Second... I was wondering if a much harder (with, like, a lot more jumpstream...) Shapeshifter could be accepted as a V2.

And third, about Procrastination on a Paper... Tass wanted to know if the changes were minor enough to skip the queue. So, uh, here's the changes to decide if they're minor enough. They might not be that minor, but I believe they do make the file much better...
A full list of differences:
* = pitch relevancy change, ** = rhythm change (or changes in note count)
*Measure 3, patterns changed from 4321 (6824) to 4312 (6842).
Measure 4, patterns changed from 4132 (6482) to 4321 (6824).
*Measures 5-12, fixed the pitch relevancy. Made the same chords the same jump. Also fixed every measure with these patterns.
*Measures 13-20, same as above.
**Measure 21, added jump at start. (+1 note)
Measures 21-28, changed some patterns to decrease the number of minitrills.
*Measures 29-36. Same as measures 5-12.
*Measures 37-44, pitch relevancy fixed in the same way as the other areas, really. Made the jumps the same on the same chord. And a few other pitch relevancy things.
*First note of measure 45, 47, 49, 51 changed to match other jumps.
Measure 56, moved two 8th notes to the left one to separate them from the first notes of measure 57 and the notes before.
*Measures 57-64. Same as measures 5-12.
** Measure 65, added jump at start. (+1 note)
** Measure 66, removed a 16th note where there is a break in the roll that's being stepped. Either that, or it's too soft to hear at x0.3 (the other notes can all be heard at that rate). (-1 note)
Measure 68, changed a pattern.
**Measure 72, removed a note and added two. The rhythm was previously incorrect. (Note on the 4th, not the 16th). (+1 note)
*Measure 73, changed pattern to be more pitch relevant (not exactly a runningman).
*Measure 74, changed to a runningman.
*Measure 75, first half changed to a runningman.
**Measure 75, added the 32nds. (+6 notes)
Original note count: 1133. New note count: 1141 (= 1133 + 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 + 6)

Files in queue usually don't need updates to be tested by the judges unless the whole file is changed a lot. Tass can probably decide this by playing through and seeing if it's worse in some ways or something. With that many changes you may want to run it by Blu or JX if they're willing (not me since I didn't play the original).

As for V2's, as long as they are significantly different in stepping style or difficulty, they're almost always ok. Although again, it's for Tass to decide.

oh and my blue-violet should've been accepted. it's super cool and was rejected for a pretty stupid reason

[Shashakiro]

ps i don't judge sync mostly because my keyboard has lag or something and everything is offsync when I play. I used to judge it much more harshly, but I basically can't anymore unless it's not even close. If I + offsync stuff blu and jx will rape it and it won't have any chance anyway

[jimerax]

assist tick would be fine then unless your win98 comp is truly crappy (considering you still can MA on the comp, it's not that bad).

What would the title of that thread look like?

[Shashakiro]

lol, i can't test on that comp, have to use vista crappy laptop for testing.

i don't like tick that much since it's too loud, maybe blu could tell me how to make it quiet

Turn down your sound


durr?

[Tasselfoot]

silvuh: i replaced your old one with your new one, so no worries there.

i kinda would like for more of the queue'd files from the last batch to get tiny tiny tweaks... but i won't mention it again after this. there were some decent small suggestions from jx and blu, but small enough to not reject the file.

Too loud compared to the music, obviously

[Netjet!]

[hi19hi19]

If I have a Challenging/Very Challenging song that has copious ammounts of hands, should I add jacks to gay it up to an FMO or should I just submit?

[Netjet!]

Jacks!
