Hi guys, most of you might not know me, Emphy (My most commonly used nick) (Unless your Norwegian\Swedish or just one of the lucky few
)
Nonetheless, I hope you can lend me your ears for a minute or two.
This post is also generalized, since it's going up on all mayor websites about stepmania. (Or which have stepmania as a sub-category atleast.)
We from Norway, mainly Katt (One of the admins from Norways largest SM\rythm game forum), is creating a database\ranking page for SM scores, much like the late Blue Planet.
Alot of the coding stuff is already done, we're still working on the design and adding songs\song packs.
This is still an early beta though, there's a bunch of stuff to be done\updated still.
Features
-No total ranking, ranking for each individual song only.
-Okay, I lied, total ranking for quads, just to see who has the most. (Just an idea.)
-You will be able to browse\sort by pack\artist\stepartist
-When uploading a screen you will be able to write something about the score, much like the info box on youtube. (Put something like a link to a video for proof etc. or just write something about how bad the score is.)
-Other people will be able to comment on your scores.
-Admins\mods will have to confirm scores, to filter out BS scores.
-Users will have their own profile, so other people can see recently posted scores of that user.
-You can choose to only see scores from a specific country, e.g. if you're only interested in scores from your own country.
-A user can only have one posted score for each individual song, but can update the score at any given time.
-Passwords are encrypted ofc, so you won't have to worry about other people finding out.
-All scores will be ranked by Dance Points (Migs)
Now we want your opinions.
-What do you feel about using migs?
Apparently some people feel that the punishment for a miss is too drastic. (-8)
We from Norway have fairly good experiences with migs, we've been using it in several competitions, and quite possibly the largest in-house competitions ever. (Dunno about those swedes and their Dreamhack thingy)
-Is there any other features that you think we've missed which would be cool to have?
-Anything you feel we should change?
And one more thing, we need people to be admins, people which are capable of distinguishing a BS score from a genuine "holy shit, that's some shit you've got there" score.
And here's some screens, remember, this is still just an early beta.
So yeah, opinions\suggestions? Come with them.
