This was fun.

You where too fast with the screenshot, the score is not visible.  When playing score attack you can take all the time you want, the score won't disappear until you hit enter.

New week starts in about an hour. You have been warned.

Man, eff these prog elitists with their invisible notes. Always tryin' to keep the honest man down.

 

 

but srsly, terribly frustrating

you can remove previous week uploads when you click top right your profile -> my attachments and clear them all from time to time.

there is a limit on uploads here.

Guys, you don't need to upload the images. If you paste a link to an image from an image host (I recommend steam, but imgur, postimg, imgbox and others are ok) it should automatically 'inline'.
The storage on the forum is rather limited, so uploading images will fill your quota rather fast.

 

not really my thing

Not that I think it's a problem, but it seems that we played the Tame Impala song already on week 431. Or is this a different version?

Ah this is moderately fun to play. Basically just chords and a very short solo. Plus, this is an old CDLC with slow scrolling, which makes it hard for me to feel the notes. I have a slight feeling that these suggestions of Steel Panther songs are some kind of trolling from @ nlbsmglsk  

Well, I wouldn't call it trolling, but somebody complained about sexism or racism or something when we played Asian Hooker, which was a real sincere pick from me (I really like the the Bach-ish solo). I didn't want to start a discussion here, since it'd probably devolve into a flame war quickly. But then again saying nothing didn't really sit well with me either. So , I went ahead and rated & submitted each and every Steel Panther song available on ignition at the time (excluding those where I deemed the chart to low quality).

I'm not really that big of a Steel Panther fan, but I discovered really fun to play songs in the process. 'Gloryhole' is currently my fav from them.

Closer to an 8 than a 9 imo.

EDIT: maybe 7.5 even

@Mikson @All - That´s a debate early vs late scores. I am slightly in favor of keeping a hard line week-end : new-week-start than to accepting scores till let´s say midnight CET because it´s another extra effort for the organizer of the next week and it might be a lil worse for the competition: All is good with players who compete over the week and ALSO have time to play on sat evening. We had the situation that there was heavy fighting over the week, and always (for a few moths)saturday evening that one player posted only one score and took the win. ( @ MonstaS4 will remember ) In that very situation it is better when those score open the week and allow competition than end it. Personally i think starting the week with a lot of saturday scores is a cool thing. And as a player it doesn´t make a lot of difference whether starting to work on the new songs or improving the old (but yes, i do that over the week also). And of course we should keep being layed back and accept scores that come in a lil late.
But that is only me - please give us feedback - let´s make the CS even better!!!!!!

Have one great reocking sunday!

Rod.

I like the variability in week start hours. It helps to reign in my procrastination. It also makes the 'posting in the last minute and hoping no one will respond in time' strategy much less feasible.

Also, we already have the 19:00 CET cut-off rule for really early posts.

I vote to keep things 'as is'.

 

Final score from me. No time this week, plus the chart is kinda boring. I'm a big Haken fan, but I'm not gonna spend the little time I have trying to get perfect octave slides.

How did you achieve such a amazing accuracy? Before, no one even achieved 90% here. Unless CDLC after upgrade is so easy, I'll check tomorrow.  

I didn't upgrade, I just practiced . Had to RR the intro arpeggio and the last part still gets me with the slowdown/speedup.

meh

I played this on the vibe of another amazing Irons concert I attended this week! Up the Irons!

nice, how was it?

@ nlbsmglsk  I played this after a long break and I think you can change the rating to 3. I don't know if that's even too much, but I'll stick with it if no one complains.

Done.

<Movements>

Are you guys certain it is 6.5 rating? it is more like at least 8 in my opinion...

The problem is it's not a common play style, not that it's too hard (imo). My tip: Either use one of your free right hand fingers to hit the higher strings, or loose the pick altogether. On the other hand the tempo is not too fast and there's a limited amount of licks to learn, so look at it as an opportunity to learn a new technique. Once you practice it for a bit it shouldn't be that hard.
I'm definitely not moving it up to an 8.

I just wanna throw out that while I appreciate Shooting Star being selected, I rated it a 5 difficulty in my testing and I don't think it should be used for Adv level. I'm okay with the downgrade of Adv bass to 6-7 but only if the 6s are legitimate. 

I'm not really a bass player, so my bass ratings might be a little off sometimes. If you had voiced your concerns yesterday I'd probably change things up, but then again that would require the use of the dreaded bonus arrangements. I feel like changing the roster now wouldn't be fair to players who already started to learn the song.
I changed the rating to 5.5.

I could have guessed it was your idea, the biggest fan of level-up. 

Overall it's ok as you said, but we need to pay attention to beginners in the championship, so as not to discourage them by forced promotion, and they may not know that they can refuse.

IMO auto level up with opt-out is the better solution.
For the people who might not know about the opt-out, maybe a more prominent link to the rules in the new week template might help?
