Oh god, please, no EW...I don't want to see any more 32nd messes T_T.

Patashu gets my second vote, I suppose.

If I were a judge you surely wouldn't have to worry about that happening, hahaha. But it would certainly be impudent of me to imply I'm fit for the position when relatively little is known about me, and the way I step. I have played 80% of the songs in this game though, and from the files I've seen, bmah and Patashu would be pretty good judges I think. This is, of course, based on the way they step; I have no idea what they think of others' files, but at least they have good judgment with their own.

Also, please no behan. Please.

[Patashu]

who is this mysterious stepping master who lurks in the night

it's Zybanthia sup

[Zybanthia]

I wouldn't presume.

[dore]

I'd judge if just for a couple batches... I'm a sucker for not having huge time commitments but I'd probably be an erratic judge because I don't exactly follow popular opinion. I usually agree with blu so I guess I sorta know what I'm talking about.

:understeps witches hat like fuc: im an artist you can't diss

[DJAirWave]

May I ask how this conversation formed? I thought it was Batch Discussion, not Judge Discussion.

[Patashu]

and by what process does the batch get or not get into the game

ya dumb

edit: also tass started it ya double dumb

Despite the fact that the batch gets judged, it's about the batch itself.

Also, I'm not devoted to this thread to see who started what.

[Patashu]

you could have gone back one page to see who started it

and I'm pretty sure the judging of the batch is integral to the batch itself

not like it was only a little over an hour ago that I posted that... or only 25 posts ago... while you may not be devoted to the thread, you could at least do a LITTLE backreading to see.

[DJAirWave]

I'll admit I have fault in it.

[jimerax]

blu has been a cool judge, but he has his life so it's fine.

Timing is bad though, sry but I'm thinking of quit this stuff too since I have other things to do and I can't do it any faster anymore + I'm kinda tired of this. I will be still able to do one or two more batches as a regular judge (aka for like 2-3 months), but need to determine next judges until then (needs 2-3 more judges w/ this system maybe).

for an FFR simfile judge, those are required in general.
- have good simfile making skill (SM) or have several simfiles with good reputations in FFR
- experience of a simfile judge (not many people have this maybe)
- have some knowledge about FFR R1 game (although this isn't as important as it used to be)
- well-known to the FFR community
- have time to judge somewhat quickly and motivation (this is a bit tough work to keep actually)
- considered to be reliable, have a good personality (for Tass, not persons like sg for example)

I can nominates some people (most of them are already discussed here), and personally I already asked patashu while ago.
I'll let Tass do final decision though.

[Patashu]

are there any key points about the r1 engine you think are still important to know?

[jimerax]

There aren't complicated things about this anymore after the avmiss fix.

- 30fps w/ swf, around judge 3, C-Mods
- framers (this isn't a problem anymore unless they are 0-framers, 1 and 2 are still hard to PA though)
- note colors (same with sm except for white arrows)

[Tasselfoot]

the main things to know, really... no holds and only 1 difficulty per submitted file. that's about it. also, syncing. if it's less than ~10ms off, it likely won't make a difference at all in FFR. especially if it's something like a piano piece and it's only a few notes off by 5-10ms. if it's a gap issue throughout, different story.

since with 30fps, that means each frame is 33ms. so 10ms is 1/3 of 1 frame. meaning anything within 15ms will be rounded to that frame, so by nature many notes will be as much as 15ms off from frame rounding.

[Patashu]

well, actually, if you're slightly offsync since the beats and the frames don't sync up perfectly you'll have slightly more beats that are pushed onto a frame who's center is further than 16ms from the note's true position :science:

averaged out the offsyncness is still materialized

[SacredInsanity]

Hey

I am nominating Buizel. He is judging for a couple small SM packs right now (Dragoonhead's smidol pack, and Bluexoon pack 2), and I am sure he would like to judge for this. He somehow loves to tear people's files apart lmao

[Patashu]

has he made anything good?

[Xandertrax]

Sow now we're out 2 judges?

: (

Bmah, Patashu, and Behan get my tri-vote.

Or Silvuh? Kommi?

Or does tass already know who he wants and none of this bickering is worth anything.
