About answering the mods: I answered some mods personally in-game, those people were Sieg (IRC), Venix (discord voice chat), deadpon3 (IRC) and Akenoi (IRC). I actually didn't reply properly to other mods yet, however the patterns got remapped and mods from Neoskylove and Janko don't need that much to be answered anymore with anything than "fixed" now. Sorry for delays guys. D; Also applied everything from Cydros and c00kiezecky, thank you guys! o/
Okay, now I am going to reply to Bakarioszka-Pornioszka's mod. \o3o/ If I am not replying to a point it means that I fixed that.
Easy
So far I've got the permission from three of the mappers to make changes on their parts, namely: Raikozen(ek),Batwhory Bitch Bathory Witch and Cydros-chan. Also, yesterday I received the permission from Krfawy as well! :3 Also I manually stacked POLACK'S thing in a way that is always easy to revert them back if the mapper doesn't agree with my creation. I hope he doesn't kill me because I moved the second section 8 pixels down and to the right. X'D

Easy
- Well, the guitar may not be followed in the best possible way as I've been using the sldierheads and sliderends to stress them and ticks and reverses to stress the drums/percussion sounds. I am sure the overall composition is still quite nice even if it doesn't follow the guitar as the main instrument. ;3;
Are the patterns really overgeneralized? The testers (newer noobish players) were really satisfied with this difficulty as they could finally play something and (almost or actually) FC something for the first time as easies nowadays are really hardcore and this particular difficulty uses basic but still nice beats and rhythms that follow the song. Surely, the long sliders during the kiais might be quite... easycore... to play, but as some Insanes and Hards need some stressing with incredibly hardcore patterns, some easies might need incredibly easy patterns, and I believe that this is the case. I can't really imagine an easy for this song use anything more demanding. Easies are supposed to be easy, not an introduction to "how to play normals that use 1/2 notes", that's why I created the Normal difficulty and I firmly believe the spread works very well as it is now without making any harder easy difficulty. ,3,
- Krfawy is currently remapping the copy&paste'd patterns
- 00:53:685 (3,3,3) - But they follow the song nicely and the reverses aren't that tiring for a normal difficulty. ;~; However, I made them more consistent so they are same lenght.
- 01:55:867 (4,5) -
B-but they look nice! D:Improved. ,3,
- 00:06:776 (1) - Well, for the playing purposes and the fact that it is not the highest difficulty I'd like to reserve some empty space for the sounds that aren't that important to be mapped, and the actual usage of any notes on the moments you showed in the picture actually break the polarity and the actual rhythm from the map's perspective in a way that doesn't provide the nicest experience possible, so I'd like to keep it as it is now. Some slider pressing didn't killed you... I guess... so I want to keep it, at least for now. X'D
- 00:34:594 (3,1) - .w. I want to do the vocals emphasis and I think it is nice with this particular pattern... isn't it? D;
- 02:28:321 (4,1) - 02:36:231 (3,4,1) - I AM SURE NOW THESE ARE FIXED.

Raikozen-chan
- 00:16:049 (2,1) - Surely, the distances aren't extremely easy but still they happen to be fairly easy even for the beginning of the song and I believe these jumps represent the voice tones in a just perfect fashion, so I want to keep this here, sorry.
- 00:43:049 (4,1) - Even though it might the the demanding jump it surely stresses the tone change of the mood/mode/key (I am not sure which word is more appropriate here; I am no musician, please, don't tease me ;_;) and even if the next note 00:44:140 (2) - is more vivid, the change of the key is more approachable and catchable when there is such a jump, so I want to keep Cydros' pattern here. ;3;
- Actually that is true that Exile- could have mapped the pattern in a similar way just like Faller, POLACK and farto did, however, right now the volume of the song and its power go only down and it doesn't seem that clear or convincing enough for me to change it to something more clickable than it is right now, so I want to keep the patterns from 03:03:503 - here too.
