Well i hate to say this and i didnt even post it last year. The game summit seems to be going down in terms of funness. 2 years ago we had bawls, and tons of freeplay for when you lost. A restro room, even a giant mario cart LAN. It was just SO much to do ALL DAY. This year there was very little free play which made it boring when waiting for the awards. Now i do feel that there was ALOT more effot put into the tournys. Tho there was still some problems.
I was in the rock band 2 tourny let me start by saying it was 120% better than last year. Very much thanks to the RUaGamer team for giving us a fun time. There were still a few problems tho. I was there early and got to help them with some sound and calibration but just playing on stage. So I got the try the drums before anyone even touched them. I had a little trobule just because it was a new kit BUT the kit itself is the best kit money can buy. Near the end of the tourny 1 band paused and complained about the pedal being broken. I belive since time was tight they were kinda bushed off and kept playing. I was in the last bad that played. I got on stage and it was true...1 kick was hitting 2-4 times. It made my scored TERRIBLE in the first 2 songs and couldnt pass battery. Now see i practiced hard this year...even had no life for a bit to get best and i could. I beat panic attack, visions, battery, stuff that i had never done before. I could 100% Alive and the trees. Now with that being said it feels like a waste of time doing all of that when i get up on stage and cant play my full potential.
I dont belive this was the directors fault as he had no time. I do belive there shouldve been an extra pedal there for just in case. Next year maybe give us an option between the one you and stock. We had an impressive band alltogether i feel that with the drums working we may have won. Our singer also took alot of time to learn the songs. He didnt even look at the screen most of the time so he could go crazy on stage.
Many thanks to RUaGAMER tho for having the best atempt yet.

I agree that the setup for the RB2 Tournament was much better than last year and I give major props to the director and RUaGamer for making it so. My band and I (DysS\MemB/EreD) were having a great time, we put in great scores which I know should have put us in either 1st or 2nd place, but yet they claim we got 3rd for a second year? I didn't see the 1st place band play, but my brother's gf said they were about even with us on score, but although they did a good job, there's just no way the Kung Fu Squishies beat us for 2nd. Our scores beat two of theirs, not to mention we all played on Expert while some of their members played on Hard and Easy.
At the beginning of the tournament, Jeff told us all that the performance bonus would not weigh heavily enough to let a band that didn't play well beat a band that did. I'm starting to doubt that statement, and would like to see the scores and performance points given to all the teams, because we know we should have at least got 2nd place, if not 1st.
It was also very inconvenient for them not to tell us the winners after the tournament was over as well. I was supposed to bring our car back to Chocowinity (at least an hour+ drive from there to Goldsboro) so my husband could take it to work, and I was planning to leave early if we got anything less than 1st. Since we weren't told what we won, I had to make two trips to go home and bring him to work and come all the way back in time for the ceremony. And I'm sure the rest of my band didn't appreciate waiting 5 hours to find out we didn't get the place we deserved either.
We had a great day and really enjoyed the setup of the tournament, but getting third when we know we did better really put a damper on the day in general.

Did your drummer notice anything funny with the kick? I know you guys played around the middle so it may not have had problems then. I do agree about the band that finished 2nd. they were all med-hard if i remember right and not a great performance. Our singer was the biggest performer there , no offence , hes just crazy anyway. Our score did suck however as i said due to the pedal.

are you seriously complaining about getting third place? did you read what you typed after you typed it? and to say your band didnt appreciate waiting 5 hours to not get "the place you deserved"? you dont DESERVE anything! its just a video game! you're supposed to have fun. i cant even put into words how narcissistic that sounds. first off, you say you didnt even see the band that won so you cant say you deserve it more than they. they killed it and they deserved to win. but even still with your logic, if you were told their scores were about even with yours, then it would come down to performance. their performance was much better than yours. so for you to say that you doubt jeffs statement about the bonus not weighing heavily, just makes no sense because if you were as close in points as you were told, then of course performance would weight heavily. your entire post makes little sense and just comes off as whiny and unappreciative. its just a video game, have fun and stop being such a sore loser. at least you placed! you got third place, i dont see how thats anything to complain about.
im probably going to regret being so harsh with this post but you really hit a nerve, and i usually try avoid internet flame wars. so i apologize ahead of time for being an ass

I'm not gonna get too crazy here but the rules said performance would count and it did, at least a bit.
And PS, pun your singer was not the best. I was. That's not narcissicm, it's true. I worked every song, didn't make fun of the songs, didn't make leud getstures, didn't check my phone, didn't leave the auditorium and was basically just awesome. ;)
And too, The Kung-Fu Squishies beat Silent Girl's band on Alive by over 200,000 points and actually performed,that's why they came second and you guys came third. The most exciting thing that happened was when your guitar player let his hair down.
Also, difficulty level doesn't matter.
Bottom line, it's a game. It was fun, I'll come back next year, hope to have fun then and I'll gladly buy you all a beer. Or a soda if you're not drinkers.

Sorry to but in about a tournament I wasn't in, but a band who performed well with all members on all expert should be given more consideration than a band with easy/medium/hard members.

JR- what band were you in or could you describe who you were. Just wondering since you said you did better, we watched every band and i just dont remember anyone doing anything. Actually i was kinda dissapointed in the crowd for some people. Some people really tried that didnt know how to play. 1 Band was all pick up players all so 1 girl could sing on stage and i clapped even when they failed.
With that being said im sorry if he offened you with any gestures. But language and stuff was all over all day, all i know is i heard alot of big pops for him. Im not here to play "im better than you" tho. I told him when we got on stage to entertain and i think overall he did. Which was nice cause i was uber embarassed on those drums not working. Im not one to complain WHILE losing cause then you look like a bitch.
My complaint was kick pedal. and Not much free play...wouldve made those 5 hours alot shorter.

punisher- we were the 2nd band to play, and as far as I know our drummer didn't have issues with the pedal at the time, he did have a problem with the yellow cymbal not working during our warm up song, but they checked it out and seemed to fix the problem, at least for our set. Sorry it started to wear out towards the end, and I agree they should have had a spare for such an occasion, considering the abuse foot pedals are meant to take.
notyetbreathing- yes, I am complaining about getting third place. We did have fun and we felt we accomplished a lot, even if some of our members didn't go all out in terms of performance. We felt our scores outweighed any missed points in performance. And I'm not arguing with the 1st place band's performance or scores. I didn't see them play so I didn't say they didn't perform great. The member of our group who watched them and told us about them felt they were the closest to beating us out for 1st place, and I'm not arguing they didn't deserve it, I'm sure they did. I was referring to Kung Fu Squishies when I said they didn't deserve 2nd place. Even punisher agreed with me there. I'm not one to start flame wars or anything myself, and rarely complain about anything. I appreciate your opinion, but I feel I have a right to complain about our experience as well.
JR- Yes, performance was a part of the final score, but if you were there when the tournament first began, Jeff said in so many words that Performance bonus was not going to count that much into the score to allow a band that sucks to beat a band that played and scored well. Our band felt that that's what happened.
And also, not counting performance, which I'm sure you were better at than I was, as far as best scores go, I think I had the highest vocals scores of the day with 97% on Alive and 99% on each The Trees AND Battery. After we finished playing and went outside with my bandmates, a vocalist from a band that ended up playing after us actually made a point to find and follow me outside in order to shake my hand and give me props on getting 99% on both songs (thanks again mystery sir you really made my day, wish I'd gotten your name, if you're up here please let me know who you are lol).
So as far as actual playing went I think I did better than most of the bands that played. The only band I didn't see on vocals was the 1st place band, but I watched all the others and they just didn't match any of my percentages. I won't argue that others did better performance-wise than me (punisher your singer was pretty crazy but cool anyway, he really had a great performance) because I was very nervous up there, you have no idea how hard it was for me to put forth what I did manage to say and do as far as performance went.
The Squishies also may have beat our score for Alive, but I know we beat their Battery score by at least the same amount. I actually have a photo of their score screen as we were getting on stage and they had just over 432,000 and 3 stars. We had upwards of 650,000+ and 4 stars, so we beat them there and I know we beat them on The Trees. Did their performance (aka, the shirtless guitarist) really help them recover that many points to overtake us?
slfan- Sorry we never got to meet up like I hoped we would. And yes, I think that just the points alone that they lost for playing on a lower difficulty should have been enough to let us (who all played on Expert consistently) beat their scores.
I gotta give props and respect to the people who did get up there and play, it takes alot to get in front of people and play a game like Rock Band and also be expected to perform as well. Most people just play in their living rooms and hardly have space enough to fit a full band much less take over a whole stage. So for the bands who really took the performance aspect to heart, I applaud you. Especially the bands who played towards the end when the audience was being awfully rude and tired of hearing the same three songs over and over again.
It wasn't my intention to come off as a "sore loser", and if we earned 3rd place legitimately, then I can be proud of that, but I just don't feel that's the case.

Silent Jo (and some what addressed to Punisher as well): First of all, your scores were very impressive on all of your songs, and in particular, on "The Trees" and "Battery." You indeed have good pitch and nailed that consistently. So, I'm going to give props to you and the rest of your band on that.
However, as the pick-up singer for "Kung Fu Squishies" and the singer for "No Physical Man," I'm hurt by your unwillingness to see that both of our bands were TRYING TO HAVE FUN and PUT ON A PERFORMANCE, not just stand stotically on stage and get high scores. That, we can easily do just staring at our TV at home. Yes, the tourney was high-scores win, and I'm fine with that, and we knew that. But all "Kung Fu Squishies," "Tangible Chair," and "No Physical Man" were trying to do was not only to play well but also engage the audience. I had never sung "Battery" until that day, so I played easy ONCE for that song, and sang it on hard the second time. And btw, I definitely heard two of the judges say "We love you Lex," after my performance with my bandmates of "No Physical Man" and I got a high-five, so some people definitely enjoyed those who mustarded up effort beyond technical prowess.
As two of my bandmates have already stated, it's a game. It's a tourney. Weren't we supposed to have fun? I did and I learned a lot. I think our band will be more prepared next year. I don't believe in swearing the other bands that took the effort and braved the stage, which isn't easy for most to do, but I think it's in poor form for anyone who placed to not be grateful for the praise and recognition they received. And the musicians members of "The Last Stand," who placed #1, we all really good and all were very humble. I think they really deserved to win. |

i still very much disagree that expert players should get more credit than hard players. jeff even said in the official rock band thread that it makes more sense to play on hard than expert because you get more points. if the whole point of the competition is to have the most points, and you get more points on hard than expert, then why should expert people get more credit? it doesnt make any sense to me.
i choked big time on that stage. i've never been in that situation before and i have major stage fright, hence the reason i had to wear a mask. at home i was able to get 100% on alive and 99% on trees so i went in really confident that we would do well. but everything is so much harder on stage. my hands were shaking and my fingers kept missing the buttons. after we f'ed up the big rock ending on alive, i knew we werent going to win so i stopped caring about the score and just tried to have as much fun as possible. i didnt like that we had to use guitar hero guitars instead of rock band guitars, those buttons are terrible, and the location of the xbox button, very inconvenient. i think every band hit that by accident at least once.
my shining moment of glory however was pulling off that guitar spin at the end of battery. i've been practicing that at home for weeks but it never worked because the rock band guitars are so light, but since the logitech guitars had some weight to them i wanted to try it and it worked and i was excited. i dont care how well we did on our score, that moment alone was worth the entire trip!

to clarify myself. I said nothing bad about pandas or your other band. I thought you were the all around most entertaining. I see points on both sides tho with a CLEAR fix. 2 years ago when RB1 just came out they had a score tourny and a performance tourny. I think we need both again

I agree with that too. Or at least there should be a separate award given for Most Charisma/Stage Presence.
I remember watching an episode of the RockBand show that was on VH-1 with Sebastian Bach as one of the hosts/judges. There were two great bands featured. One had the techincal scoring mastered and the other had more the performance mastered. He said that though the group who had the highest score were talented and had good strategy, they were lacking in showmanship and uninteresting to watch. Yet the more performance-based band sacrificed high score for entertainment value - so which is worth more? That's why I agree that there should be separate categories or tourneys entirely so the judging is clearer and more fair for all the contestants. |

As for BAWLS, they're currently going through a restructuring and are being sold (we hope). As the North Carolina distributor I was supposed to be bringing a pallet (72 cases) to CGS, but they couldn't even ship me the product in time. If you check around you'll see that virtually everyone is having trouble getting BAWLS. Our best hope is the new owners (assuming a sale takes place) can bring them "back to life". Right now the bank owns them and is operating them with a skeleton crew (as in, 1 employee).
Regarding the kick pedal, all I can do is apologize. I didn't actually realize it had broken. In fact I didn't find out about it until we got back to RUaGamer and set everything up for opening the store Sunday.
As for the 2nd and 3rd place teams and scoring. What I said at the beginning of the tournament was that the judges bonus would not allow a band that "sucked" to beat a band that played great. FYI, the band with the highest judges score (Tangible Chair) came in 5th place.
The Last Stand
Song 1: 955,729
Song 2: 765,702
Song 3: 732,011
Total Base Score: 2,453,442
Judges Bonus (Max 30): 21
Kung Fu Squishies
Song 1: 1,169,659
Song 2: 530,179
Song 3: 432,358
Total Base Score: 2,132,196
Judges Bonus (Max 30): 23
DysS\MemB/EreD
Song 1: 1,021,939
Song 2: 758,704
Song 3: 653,529
Total Base Score: 2,434,172
Judges Bonus (Max 30): 15
By Base Score alone, Dyss would have been in 2nd place and quite close to the 1st place team's score. However, I was explicitly asked to make sure I included a performance/showmanship component in this year's tournament. As such, I made the decision that, since Kung Fu was given the highest judges score out of the top 3 they should be awarded 2nd place. |

I NEVER do this, but I renamed this thread to Rock Band Comments. I have a ton of pet peeves and one major one is forum subjects that don't match the topic of the conversations very well. For example if I click a forum that says "SF4 Tips and Tricks" and it turns out to be an ad for viagra, I get really upset at the moderators for letting that happen.
I know this one wasn't as blatantly off topic as that but I just felt our event was not all bad, per the conversations above and felt a correction might be needed.
Anyways... on with the show!

RUAGAMER - Jeff
I understand you did not know about the pedal. I said nothing because we were the last band AND you were close on time. Alot of people complain when losing and i figured if i said anything it would be brushed off, and even if not time did not permit anything to be fixed. Please come back next year tho, you ran it the best it has been so far and i truely feel like you did the best you could. Yes i read about BAWLS it sucks, i know you could do nothing to fix it...i just hope as you stated that someone buys them....and doesnt change the flavor or anything.
Evert - if you even come back to read this. As i said i felt like there couldve been alot more to do for the "losers" or those just waiting. 2 years ago there was Americas Army LAN , Mario cart LAN, and a retro room. As well as every tourny was free play halfway through the day.

I think most of the pros and cons of this year's tourney have been covered... the better setup, better equipment, GH guitars for RB, the place complaints, (as in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd) etc., but my major say-so about the tournament was the song selection. "Alive" and "The Trees" by themselves were ok songs, just not good enough to really be exciting to tack on a performance for them. I mean, come on, "Alive" might have been a good enough song as a starter, but whoever decided "The Trees" was a good performance song needs to check thier brain for loose wires or something, because there were SO many other songs that not only the band could have enjoyed, but the audience as well, such as "Give It All", "Let There Be Rock", "Down With the Sickness", "Chop Suey", "Ramblin' Man", "Almost Easy", etc. but "The Trees"? Obviously there was a terrible judgement call on that. How can a band put on a good performance if it's not a good performance song?

"What I said at the beginning of the tournament was that the judges bonus would not allow a band that "sucked" to beat a band that played great."
That's essentially what happened between 2nd and 3rd. They had an 8 point lead on us for performance "bonus", but we had them on technical score by just under 302,000 points. I'm not necessarily saying they sucked, but some of them chose a lower difficulty, and when it comes down to it an all Expert band is going to outscore a band that doesn't.
Jeff was right in saying that it would be better to play Battery on Hard and score points than to attempt and fail on Expert. Since last year's tournament, we've had more practice (at least once a week together) and sharpened our scores and skills, and that's why we were able to pass Battery on Expert. And that should count for more than performance, because we basically played the game as it's meant to be played. Sorry if we don't run about our living rooms and play shirtless on a regular basis, maybe I should apply that for when we get together to play RB at my upcoming birthday party...

Silent Jo: I think at this point, we're just going to have to agreed to disagree. You don't want to conceed to the judges' decision which has already been made. How they decided to weigh in performance bonus vs. point value is their prerogative. No one is trying to say that your band wasn't good. You were very impressive with your skills, but it seems to really come down to stage presence, of which, your band had very little. Kung Fu Squishes didn't suck, and I think that is reflected in us having the highest score on "Alive" as well as strong scores on the other two songs. If I were you, I would be glad that I placed and try to give your competition a run for their money next year in stage charisma. My band (No Physical Man) and I have certainly learned to not sacrifice the scores for performance value, as we did this go-round. But then, we wanted to relax up there and have fun with the audience. Again, I feel like the whole point of the Games Summit is not only to show-off strategy skills, but to have fun, because after all, they are all just games. |

Lex- my whole issue with the situation is that at the beginning of the tournament, the director stated that performance wouldn't be a major factor. As he said it was a "bonus". Which to me tells me that score would be the more important thing to focus on. If it was said that performance would be 50% of the deciding factor for who wins and loses, then we wouldn't be having this conversation because I know we wouldn't have won on performance.
But Jeff said that one statement before it started, then went back on it when it came time to choose the winners. That's what I have a problem with. Sure I'm thankful that we placed at all, but we earned 2nd on score. If our situations were reversed I doubt you'd just sit back and let it go unheard.

SilentJo: Would you be satisfied see the scores for every band, so that you can know exactly what the scores were for everyone? That's something you'd have to request from RUAGamer. I think it would be good for everyone to see them, if he's willing.
I am going to correct you on your point about playing on "expert" giving you higher scores than other levels. When you play on "expert," as you know you are judged more harshly by the game. Therefore, if you do not play perfectly or close to it, your scores are much lower. What our band found out in practicing is that we could play better on "Hard" and get consistently higher scores, therefore that is why we played the set that way. The game director said he did not care what difficulty we played on, so I'm not really sure why that has made you so upset.

I don't need to see the other band's scores. I saw all I needed to see when RUAGamer posted the Top 3 scores. Those results proved what we already knew, that we should have been 2nd place.
I'm glad that playing on Hard was a better strategy for you, but our band spent this past year practicing so we could play anything on Expert so we could improve on our 3rd place win last year. And we technically did that.
My main issue is still the fact that the performance was given more importance than originally stated. When I read the original rules, it said to me that score would be the more important factor, with performance adding in a little bonus. Then at the end of the tournament when it came down to choosing the top 3 placements, the director changed that and made performance the deciding factor, even though we made 2nd place on score alone. With that thinking, why stop at 2nd? There was only a little more than 19,000 points separating us from 1st, why not push them back as well? Oh, yeah, they did better on performance too...

This is the direct quote from the official rules that were posted.
"2) Game Play - This will be a high-score wins tournament with a performance "bonus". Bands will play three (3) songs selected by the Tournament Director. Every band will play the same songs. The score for each song will be recorded and added up to provide a preliminary band score. In addition, a panel of judges will give each band a "bonus" based on their performance and showmanship. The bonus will be in the form of additional points. The combination of the preliminary band score plus the judges bonus will constitute the Final Band Score. The band with the highest Final Band Score wins the tournament."
I should emphasize the parts stating it was a "high-score wins tournament" and the "performance 'bonus'" was just meant to be "additional points."
I would have added this on to my last post but apparently you only have so long to go back and edit your posts. So sorry for the double post.

you're still overreacting. the performance bonus did not weigh as heavily as you are making it out to be. first place team had a performance bonus of 21, thats pretty high, only 2 points below kung fu squishies. your team only had a 15. had you guys been second and KFS been third then essentially the performance bonus will have meant nothing and that would have negated the need for a performance at all. if the performance bonus caused someone that sucked to win, then yes i can see your complaint. the rules said that the performance would not allow someone that sucked to beat someone that didnt. so i think your definition of "suck" differs from everyone elses.

Read my last post. Did it say anywhere that performance would be the deciding factor in who wins? No.
It was meant to be a high-score wins tournament from the stert (at least when the rules were made). KFS didn't get a higher score than us, thus they should have been 3rd. Performance was only suppose to add points to the preliminary band score.
The event people got their performance/showmanship aspect during the tournament. It didn't need to be a factor in determining the winners when it was supposed to be about score all along.
