looking for an expert rivalry starting Monday 9-11-2006

I'm new to the whole "rivalry" thing, but I do like the idea

If anybody is interested let me know - obviously I'd prefer somebody who is around my skill level (currently, 46th overall with a score of 11,061,169)

I will only be able to start on Monday, as I will not be at home over the weekend!

I'll take you on since my other rivalry died. I only have about 100k more points than you.

Sounds good - I will post back here on Monday morning and we can sort out song choices, etc.

What rules do you generally play with?

**MLafer** · Joined: 26 Mar 2006 Posts: 464 Location: Canton, MI

Here's some rules I'd like to follow...if you disagree with them let me know

-- Two-person rivalry only. When other people join it just gets messy.
-- No set time to turn in scores because hey, shit happens. But please be reasonable.
-- If you have a camera readily available, put a pic of the score up, but it's not necessary.
-- We'll alternate on picking songs. You can go first. (If you want a quick win you can look at my scores and see the obvious one to pick!!)
-- If you don't have a pic, please post the score, note streak and % notes hit.

Well - back after my weekend in Indianapolis...

Doing a comparison between the two of us, I've decided it's just too crazy to challenge you at "Cowboys"

(although, you really do need to get your score up for that song - there's easily another 150K in there for you)

How about a song which we could both use some improvement on?

I was thinking of "The Breaking Wheel" for starters?

I will post my score (and hopefully a picture if i remember to take my camera home from work) by about 12:00 tonight!

Good luck!

OK - a little late - been fighting with my camera (didn't win

)

Anyhow, I think you'll probably beat me on this one, but I got a personal best (and I suck at this song anyhow) :

The Breaking Wheel
342390
271 note streak
98% notes hit

341,750
97% 384 note streak

Score 271807
Percent 98
Streak 452

I'm pretty happy with that, although I do think with a little luck I could hit 280K - I always end up screwing up either the first or the second solo though

nice job, that's a damn good score. Mine was pretty good too, I think I probably could have beat yours but i didn't want to spend hours attempting it. I improved at least, and that's what the rivalry is really for, right? Your pick next.

Edit: Exact same streak! I bet we screwed up in the same place too, lol

I am starting to get the hang of this song - before, I'd be lucky to get 230, now I think I'm averaging 300

Score: 340418
Percent: 95
Streak 342

um...wow. I didn't even start to play this song yet because i left the game at my friend's house, but there's absolutely no way Im beating that score. You've gotten a hell of a lot better than me in just the week since this rivalry started (jumping from 11k to 11.5k in just a week...jesus). I feel like I'm completely out of your league now. Maybe someone else can take over this rivalry for me...

I'm as surprised as you are about that BatM score

. I SUCKED so hard at that song, but all of a sudden the correct strumming pattern just clicked...

Anyhow, I'm moving to another city next week, so it's probably best that we discontinue this, at least for a while - I don't know when i will get the chance to play again, as I'll be busy painting and fixing crap for a while, but perhaps we shall continue this in the future...

Thanks though - it has been fun!!!
