You can always make it a 2 week song like we did on "jump in the fire". 

My rate for RHCP lead - 5. It hard for beginner, but not crazy hard like Megadeth Holy war for MC. It possible enough to learn in the week. Of course i say not about total beginners. (I got 84 % at first run, miss all G chord - fingers forget this position)

If Maztor not mind, we can change -a  songs L7 kick, and choice for int RHCP, and new for beginner.

thats it 4 tha eve...

I have changed the crap tone in lead path, couldn't hear it anymore. I just took this one from rhythm path, sounds much better.  But changed it only in NDD version because with DD there was some trouble and I just don't want to touch it right now. Mabe I do an DD update later.

and I have some new scores, tried with new sound

http://s7.directupload.net/images/140928/uv3jo6er.jpg

and tried also the RHCP lead. I think it's difficulty level is 4-5

http://s7.directupload.net/images/140928/8zncdile.jpg

 

I won't take Californication out (due to bass and cause it's late). Instead we will go with additional Beginner Lead from The Who - My Generation. That's quite difficult solo for beginner but should be ok. Better score (from RHCP and TW) will count at the end of the week. And cause we don't have beg rhythm we can go with The Who's song as well. I think that it's too late to replace Californication.

I'm sorry for what happened, as that was me who put Californication difficulty score.

 

PS. It seems like RHCP is Int level, so we can make it beg/int, with two winners from beg and int pool. Also rule of better score between RCHP and L7 would apply. So it would be The Who - Beg, RPHC - Beg/Int, L7 - Int. I hope it's not complicated.

Several more tries at Adv and MC bass...  My accuracy is going *down* on Get Lucky, but I improved on Californication a bit:

Really enjoying both songs in spite of (because of?) their difficulty.  Fun to push to improve on 2 songs that are tough but not completely out of my league...

@@Mortalo - Sir, its time to say thx again for running this with all the effort!!!

Quite a number of songs / paths to play this week, and no real easy ones :)

While surfing a little through the Leaderboard to check my progression and who my competitors are and how they are coming forward suddenly it hit me what was missing...

 

As we have an ongoing chamiponship with classifications every week in every path wouldnt it be nice to have a Ranking Table!

 

I was thinking of - as what we have is not seasonal but an ongoing championship race - what would be best would be a Classification of the last 10 running weeks, each week each path scored e.g.

 

Position Points 1st 25 2nd 18 3rd 15 4th 12 5th 10 6th 8 7th 6 8th 4 9th 2 10th 1

 

(taken from F1GP - they have loads of shxx but the scoring system is good).

 

So a Maximum of 250 Points would be possible for 10 wins in a Row. The actual scoring would be the addition of the points week 39-48, next week 40-49 and so on, ranking table for each path seperately of course.

Another good thing is that this ranking chart could be easily computed from our collected data, all that is needed is a new tab between Hon. ment. list and the running week and - once setup would mean NO ADDITITIONAL WORK FOR MORTALO AND MOTIVE.

 

I think this would add a lot to the motivation to compete every other week, and fight for the one or other place at the end of the week (esp. when i look at your fabulous competitions in lead and bass MC with envy) and could make the diehardlist obsolete.

 

So, @, @@Mortalo, @@everyone - what do you say?

 

It is enough complicated for calculate and need a lot time. important thing for clear rating system is points for: beginer x1, int x2,adv x3 and mc x4. For every paths, for every participants. if you want you can make this ranking table, you have all necessary data for last 10 weeks.  

Intermediate Bass - 98.1%, 135 streak

I'm getting misses in 2nd - 5th fret parts. Still 99% should be possible.

 

@@Rodman Just like @ said. If you do it, I will be proud to use it :P It's just still too much to do and constant lack of time.

Some improvements made.  Wargasm is really fast, i had to play it all in 70% speed just to get to know the rhythm.

so lets c what can be done.....

 

Never did any google docs programming, very few excel... but i might know the right guy around.... or dig deep... lets c

@@Rodman You have not chance calculate it in google docs. there need power tool, like MS Excel.  Or only hands work.

p.s. I wan`t waste time for Bass L7, because i played it in my video in topic CDLC. It was score 99.87% str 780. If no one mind it may be add in leaderboard.

lil + on the who, and desaster "rhythm" 1st try

lol that sucks!

if there is interest i might do it anyway!!!

It is possible to do this kind of more advanced calculations in google docs using Google app script, so there is way how to do it. Maybe I could try to implement it, but as I don't have much free time, it won't be tomorrow.

@ If you post link to it here :P, then your score would be valid. Well, if you look at this that way. Then I posted link to the cdlc which has link to the video, so this can be a proof.

Bass screen shot's probably not legit since the fecking lag monster hit it and just took the shot of the massive plec and my score, no accuracy can be seen but I am not bothered, don't think I'll be playing it again anytime soon. Not my cup of tea (sorry song submitter, no offence to you :) .) 

 

Gonna concentrate on MC this week as I love the chillies, had a few go's on it last night in RR so expecting my next playthrough to be reasonably better than the lame arse 69% I got :) I'm not well at the moment too, so my time practicing might be a bit lower than the usual... will aim for a snot filled video though if I can manage to reduce the glare off my pastey white face. 

@@NoonyDeloony You posted Advanced pic for Int :)

 

Leaderboard updated.

Cheers @@Mortalo Should be fixed now :) 

Here are my scores for now:

 

INT Rhyt:

Lead:
http://i61.tinypic.com/24ci8mb.jpg

I won't play the Rage song because of the tunning...

Ok, established the Ranking table (done with lead arrangements), rest asap.

 

I did it like that:

 

Last 10 weeks scored:

1st place  - 10Pts

2nd place - 5Pts

3rd place - 3Pts

4th place - 1Pt

 

that keeps it more simple than scoring the top 10 and fits better to the competition as there are hardly ever 10 scores in any path.

Scores taken from the championship file - so blame the file for mistakes, blame me for pasting mistakes.

Dont mind the layout - just wip.

 

I really hope Mortalo is willing to let me add as tab in Championship file - no problem i do the weekly updates,

if not i am gonna host it myself and post the updates every week.

I think its really handy to keep track of how the direct competitors are doing, and might add quite a bit to the motivation to come back every other week.
