ni hao people of the bits, it is i, sweatynoodle with another banger thread.[citation needed] ill quickly get into what this thread is about

so i accidentally invented this "game" on the discord where you basically send in the list of formats you have done, and someone rates it out of 10 by how much variety you have (eg. amount of formats compared to entry count and the balance of classes) and maybe give suggestions on what formats you could try

if someone has submitted to every format, they get an instant 10/10 and note that we arent talking about badges, we are talking about formats submitted to

lastly you can rate your own variety and you dont need to rate someone's formats to post here, you can just ask to be rated ^u^

---------

ill start with my own variety, i would say that i lean into quite a music build, a lot of chipist and mixist. though i have done some visual pieces (and ive tried the entire pixel class) so my overall variety isnt terrible, its fine. ive also done codist and mappist formats (SMW ON TOP), so thats pretty cool. im completely lacking in signalist and webdevist, which is really not good

ive only done 74 entries so far, with 41 (if i counted correctly) unique formats, so that would mean most of my entries, i tried a new format. overall i would give myself a 6/10, not the best, not the worst. maybe i could try some grafxicist formats and participate in a signalist or webdevist battle.

re 228592:

so you have tried most of the formats, which means i probably would say "yeah you have a lot of variety!", but there is an important trend i saw with what formats you tried... before continuing, i would like to note that damifortune hosted the battle "oops! all new formats!"

its easier to note what formats you dont have right now than the ones you do (correct me if im wrong):

famistudio, mml, orgmaker, pet, ted, x68k, buzz, orcapilot, nexxt, clipnote, visualbattle_art, doom, zquest, and gbstudio

so excluding ted, visualbattle_art, doom and gbstudio, these are all formats that were in oops, which i guess was a tiny bit more recent, but it was still a year ago. you were a host for this battle! and you never even tried the formats?? i guess it would be fine if it was one or two of the formats, but 10??? thats more than half of the formats that were in oops! even i did better and im not even a host... also nexxt has been in 3 majors since its been introduced! you have had plenty of chances to try it!

aside from that, your entry count is really high to not have done doom or ted (i can understand visualbattle_art and gbstudio, because one was introduced not to long ago and the other is not able to be hosted (i think??))

so you have the variety, you just didnt go 100% and also you have heaps of entries, so its weird you havent tried all the formats, so you get 8/10. if you got the oops formats + doom and ted sorted, it would be 9.5/10

------------

re 228593:

i went though yours on the discord already, but ill quickly recap:

very audio heavy, entry count is not really balanced with variety, and only 3 visual formats.

something i didnt mention is you havent done a singular signalist format, probably because i forgot it was a class LMAO

overall you get a 5.5/10, come back when you have tried some more signalist and grafxicist formats

re 228597:

another person with 4 rows aaaa

it seems what you havent tried is quite balanced, you have only finished 2 classes (pixelist and samplist), so your range is quite diverse, and the formats you havent done are quite rare. you also have a decently low amount of entries for the amount of formats you have tried.

overall, very good: 9/10, maybe try and host the rarer formats for funzies, maybe i will participate :)

re 228598:

very audio based, though you have done visual formats so you get some bonus points, youve also done gamebattle_art, which is a bit harder to get than a lot of the other formats. if you did like maybe 3 more non audio formats, then i probably wouldnt be mentioning.

you get a 6.5/10, maybe try teletext as a wack ass suggestion lmao, do a couple non audio and you should be fine

re 228599:

speed round

many variety with only 50 entries. 8.5/10, keep up how you are going :P
