I would like to enter, my timezone is -5 UTC whatever
Your time preferences don't seem very specific to me and I cannot generalize the time that you'd like to be around. For a note to everyone that has a more strained than normal schedule, do your best to be specific about times that you have a much higher certainty to play for, rather than trying to put out preferences, because the chances of you getting a time that is better for you will improve if you can give me more concrete time blocks that are good for you.leondance8 wrote:

I usually wake up late on Saturdays and Sundays. Also, There may be a problem, I could join at 2:20 PM to 2:40 PM may have to go around 6.
MY UTC time is -5:00 I am pretty sure this is EST time, if I am wrong, Then please correct me.
I won't be able to play Sunday Nights because always, people may always have school to go through..
I'll be available around Friday and Saturday Nights.
I can only play 4K
The disconnection rule is an all-encompassing situation for when a player leaves the lobby. Getting stuck in the lobby is a case-by-case basis that will be handled, but it will likely be handled in the same way. I may come up with an internal clause (i.e. not shown in this particular thread but handed to referees) regarding a special case situation where a player remains in the lobby but is not responsive. That is somewhat low priority at the moment, since the tournament is still into sign-up stages and could stand to wait a bit longer for more refinement of logistics.LightDreamer wrote:
Does the disconnection rule applies to dying graphic chipset? I would gladly enter, but I don't know if I'll stay on the whole time..... It's a question of luck..... Well, I'll test abit more if mania freeze completely or only partially when the driver stops working........ And I may enter if it's not too bad.... Or in the worst case, I can always borrow my brother's PC...... Yes, I'll do that if the problem is too bad.
Count me in to represent the more "bad" players.
UTC-5 (Quebec)
I'm available, well, always. Even in the middle of the night, haha.
This is what the qualifiers are for as well as seeding. Having some kind of rank based restriction doesn't work well in mania due to the many different key modes giving points. If you take the time to participate in the qualifiers and don't pass through or don't pass the maps themselves. Nobody is going to say anything about it. The only thing that will be wasted is your own time and that is only if you think about it in that away. It could be a good learning experience.LightDreamer wrote:
I Join Kaito-kun in his question about the map's difficulty. I'm far from being a pro player, not even a very good player..... This said, I have a visual handicap that makes some patterns hard to read. So if the maps are too hard for me, it wont be fair.
I don't see the point in letting non-top players participate if the top ones do participate. Non-top have basically no chance if the maps are top player grade.....
With respect to point 1: free mod/free mods, yeah - same thing. As far as DT: yes, a player is allowed to pick a map and set it on DT as a warmup. This is forbidden for regular song choices.Kaito-kun wrote:
Just some things I wanna clear before entering:
1. On the "Warm-up Songs" part, shouldn't the last sentence be "Warm-up songs will be on free mods, allowing for any special modifications that you see fit for the purpose of warming up properly.". Also, regarding that, maybe you should add something about DT, just in case (in the sense that someone may choose an easy map, but add DT as a mod. So the question is: is that allowed?)
2. About how hard will the maps be specifically? I only know that on Qualifiers, there will be 4 songs, one harder than the other. But there isn't anything that tells me if I'm good to go for the challenge (Might not be up against my competition, but I want to at least know if I'm able to pass set songs). So a little something like saying "Maps will be extremely hard, only considerable good 4k players can take on the challenge" or something like that may do the trick (but also, specifying a bit more won't hurt either).
Anyways, these are my only concerns with this. I'm in either way lol. UTC is -4, and as long as matches start AFTER 14:00UTC, I'm fine with it
I will tell you to reference above. There's nothing unfair about it -- I don't know what your visual handicap is, but I dunno how anything would be unfair, personally.LightDreamer wrote:

Sorry for my weird concern..... I guess you're right.
Anyway, I was wondering if skins will be visible in stream. I know it might be a bit weird to watch numerous different skins, but that wuld look cool.
Well, I asked that since I wouldn't want to simply fail all of the songs in the qualifiers lol, since that would be a true waste of time imo (I don't mind getting crushed, as long as I know I did my best tho). Thx for the reply btw.Halogen- wrote:

With respect to point 2: I will not be giving out difficulty estimates. Do your best to maximize your level of play so that you can withstand the maps as they come, and at least trust in the fact that I am not going to massacre players in a bracket of this size. I know what I am doing, I promise -- you will not be playing ridiculous maps in the round of 128. The qualifiers will have a vast range in difficulty, but that is to ensure reasonable seeding.
I've actually circumvented this in testing and do not plan on using the regular skin -- I'm going to be using the O2Jam Ultimate skin.-Konner- wrote:
