i hope so

jk

Anyway, I can't wait for, y'know, stuff to happen in this. I just gotta wait until October 13th, when the judging starts.
With my luck, I'll get 10/10s from all the judges except 1 which will give me a 1/10, dragging me into a lower tier.

Oh wait, I'm not that good.

I already submitted. My goal is Tier 3. If I don't show up until after Tier 3, my goal is stay out of Tier 4 and make top ten.
Y'know, optimism.

What about users that don't know how custom gfx's works or custom music. Should we ban that stuff from contests because some users would be at an advantage? No! But you're the guy organizing the contest, so I guess you make the rules.

except gfx and custom music don't impact the level in the slightest unless you're a retarded judge

lunadll is actually gamechanging

This statement REALLY pissed me off, and the best way I can reply to it while staying civil is with this:

@Valtteri: Can you put my name down as "Fujiwara No Mokou/MECHDRAGON777" and not just "MECHDRAGON777"? I am asking because I want people to know me by BOTH NAMES and it is a little upsetting that you are not putting both, please, can you do so?

What??? How could you do this, Valtteri?! You saw my topic about how changing the star limit to 3 would greatly increase level variety. Could you at least try it and if it doesn't work/causes too much work/problems we won't do it again?
If each level had 3 stars, we'd have to deal with trying to get all three in ToB8. Why not just make the level have switches or something to add to exploration? More stars =/= more variety.

I'm sorry, but what I mean is a non-linear level. I apologize, but switches just tend to piss me off whenever I see one in a level. Honestly, to me, levels that use switches properly aren't that common. In my opinion, it'd just be a better level if it focused more on exit points instead of switches.

Sorry, Valtteri, but with speed=1 it just looks like it's going too slow and with speed=2 it's going way too frickin' fast. speed=1.5 is just right.
You do know that some computers will get a runtime error when using decimal NPC codes, right?

I did not know that. I knew that it caused some issues with certain computers, but I wasn't aware it caused a runtime error.

Yes, TNTtimelord, you are so right with that post that you provided us a link to. While playing TOB episodes, I've begun to notice a particular trend among bad levels. There are those with epic custom gfx's that look like they tried to get into high tiers based on gfx's alone, while there are those other levels that played well but would've gotten an extremely higher rating if they had just used some more/better custom gfx's.

How didn't you know that. By the way, about the decimal issues, I suggest to try this solution.I tried it and it functions.

I do. MECHDRAGON777 is known in many places as FnM, so it's completely understandable if he wants both names in the list. That's not much work, I guess Valtteri can handle it.

I don't know if you intended to be funny, but purposely mispelling a name and und using the word "fucking" won't make you funny. If you weren't trying to be funny and just wanted to help, then I want to apologize.

I never saw a level from you, I'd be glad to see it unless it is a joke level :)

At least some one else understands! I use my current name for every thing, but I do use the Touhou Character's name in a lot of places as well! Also, How is it more difficult to add the other half of what I requested?

@Valtteri: You added me twice, and both as the incorrect name!
