i LOVE this game. hahahaha. i actually like the song selections on GH2 more than GH. kinda refreshing.

good job, jcirri! btw i think you've already noticed, but i've been posting pics and they can be used as proofs.

Indeed. Just to remind people, to the extent that you can tolerate the hassle, *always* submit your scores with pics of the newspaper where possible. The system will automatically detect a submission that will narrow the cutoff, and will automatically submit it to the proof queue, so you don't have to do that step by hand. I can tell you that myself, personally, not to mention the other mods and admins, I have probably approved well over 250 proofs today alone. Keep em coming, folks!

I just got the game a couple of hours ago, played a little over 20 songs, and it feels goooooooooood! Glad I got it on its release day Mr. Green

I've been submitting a couple of scores, a some of which have been kept for cutoff proofs, but I have yet to see the "contribution points" awarded, so I'm wondering : Will the GH I cont. pts. be separated from the GH II cont. pts?

I enjoy contributing, but I'm also aiming for that signature pic...

I've been playing for the last couple of hours. So have probably all the rest of the mods and admins

Proofs go into a queue for approval (we have to look at the pic, and make sure the song name, difficulty, score, and stars match the details you submitted), and the points are awarded after we approve them. They are not seperate from the GH1 points, but you may have to have a bit of patience, especially for the next few days as submissions come in massive numbers... it'll take us a bit of time every few hours (less often in the am hours eastern when most of us are asleep or at work) to work through the queue.

Also, this is probably a good place to point out that we need to see the above 4 pieces of information to approve a pic for proof... which means, screenshots of things which do not show one or more of those pieces of info are no good for proofs, specifically, please don't submit screenshots of your setlist or of the encore page, as these lack information. The newspaper is what we need to see.

I'm going to go work through the queue right now, so if you have any submission waiting that meet the criteria for a proof, you should see your points shortly.

edit: as of 0025 EST, the queue is clear.

If the game wasn't enough to get addicted to, there's all the new scores that need to be uploaded. I'm thankful for this challenge.

Riz, strange question, but if we put in a new score that is not a personal best (or even enough to make it into our top 3), will it still queue up so we can just help determine cut-offs?

That's a very good question, and I don't know the answer. My guess would be yes... if the submission includes all the needed details and a pic, it would get sent to the queue, but I'll point JC at this thread and get him to give you a definitive answer.

If the score is not good enough to make it into your top 3 (or whatever your upgraded limit may be) scores per song, then it would not get submitted. In such case you could just submit the proof from the Song Stats page. Otherwise if your score gets submitted into the system, even if it's not your personal best, it will auto-submit proofs for any stat(s) to which it may apply.

I just approved a batch, which included at least a couple of yours. If they narrowed the cutoff by the appropriate amount (see the cutoffs thread for details about the ranges as the gap gets smaller), points would have been given. I don't manually allocate the points... it's all in the code. I just check the pic against the submitted details, and if they match, I approve them. The code does everything from there. If you think there is a discrepancy between what you've submitted and the ranges, you should probably PM JC about it.

Also, another note for folks... if you submitted a proof that you're sure was right, but you didn't get points for it, double check that the score you entered is in fact the score shown on the newspaper

I've had to reject probably 5-10 or so (out of about 700ish) because the scores or difficulties didn't match.

i don't know if this has been discussed, but is there a general time frame in which co-op scores will be able to be entered?
