RULES - Files due August 23rd

[BLueSS]

UPDATE - DUE DATE BUMPED BACK A WEEK TO ENCOURAGE MORE PEOPLE FROM OTHER SITES TO SIGN UP.

Let's restore simfile tournaments back to the glory days. Invite anyone you know who makes simfiles, and post the news article I just posted on Bemanistyle to other sites you may know of.

Sounds like a big update. You should change this topic title, though, since it still says the 16th.

[BLueSS]

Thanks, and I'll get to your pm later this evening.

Presentation: /5 (Remember, this is not "graphics", this is the overall presentation of the file (including work put into extras, if the graphics happen to be sub-par.)
Tilt: +3 - Used for any reason, like extra charts or similar (This can only fill in points that the entrant missed in other areas!)

This seems redundant, unless it's implying that a file with bad graphics will have extras count twice.

There are aspects of presentation that aren't extras per se and aren't graphics, either: an informational readme (or a funny one), a solid cut, decent audio quality. Things that could make or ruin your experience a little but which aren't directly related to the charts (and therefore shouldn't cut into their scores).

[BLueSS]

Clarification:
To enter, send me a PM with the song and artist.

To submit your file: Anytime before August 23rd, PM me a link to your finished file. Use yousendit/megaupload/zshare or something similar if you don't have your own hosting.

No, it's not that a file's extras will count twice.

Just like you were getting at the other things such as really good audio cut, readme, etc - those are things that can be considered into the tilt, along with extra charts.
Presentation includes all graphical/movie stuff and should not go into tilt (unless say they made their OWN video, instead of a stock music video/ddr movies - that requires more work and would be considered valid for a tilt score).

Hopefully that clears it up.

What about just BS? It's a fine nickname, if it weren't for the fact that it's also an abbreviation for something that you'd never want to be called by.

[BLueSS]

Everyone who sent me an entry PM should have received a PM from me saying you're registered.

That will continue up through the day of the deadline.

[DGJ]

wow, 21 entries!! are we going to get a list of registered users or songs? (since we can't really get both)

[kynayo]

Hold on, just making sure, we have to give the file to BLueSS?

[k//eternal]

How about "bloos"?

[kynayo]

Is that what everyone calls him? alright then.

A list of users will be out in a little bit. If I did songs, you could try to guess the song's author by looking at the order that people registered/posted (at certain times).

And yes, all links for completed files go to me.

"bloos"?
