Hello everyone, Poi here with a new event!
Introducing…
Pack Roulette!
This is THE forum post for all things related to Pack Roulette, it will be actively updated as such.
Now what is Pack Roulette exactly?
Pack Roulette is a bi-weekly event where I will choose a number of packs and anyone participating will have to try to clear every selected pack in 2 weeks. I have a huge wheel with every archived pack, and every two weeks I will roll around 5 packs (sometimes more or less, depending on what is rolled.)
Included in the list of packs include both Pad/Index and keyboard packs, any pack that isn’t 4k will be skipped as this is primarily a 4k event.
Here’s a few things you’ll definitely need to know:
- I will limit the total song count to 400, however most of the time I’ll try to keep it under 200 total.
- I will only include packs that do not surpass an average MSD of 26. (This is something I want to be able to do so I’d rather not play packs with an average of 30msd, shit’s so incredibly unfun for me).
- I manually review the packs, so if there’s an impossible file and I deem it skip-able, I’ll allow people to remove it from the pack folder for viable pack clears.
- You are allowed to uprate and downrate, and you’re allowed to play whatever diffs you want if there are multiple on a file.
- If you already have a chosen pack cleared, you do not need to re-clear it.
- Packs with less than 2 files will be excluded from Pack Roulette
- You do NOT have to AA+ all files, nor does your score technically have to be valid, meaning you CAN play on rates lower than 0.7x
How do I participate?
Well, there are two things you can do. You can either participate through the Discord server, or through the forums. I’ll go over both ways here.
DISCORD:
In the Discord is the #read-me channel, that has guidelines and shows you how to use the respective channels. Click the image below to join the Discord server! This is the easiest way of participating.
FORUMS:
When I roll the packs, I will put them together into a single ZIP and upload it. I will them post the links below the equal signs down below. Do keep in mind that the links will not be permanent, they will only be able to be used when the session is happening as I do not have infinite space. When they are posted, you can download them and start clearing the packs. When you clear a pack, DM through the forum DM feature and send me screenshots of the pack clears, I will then put your name on a spreadsheet with both Pack Clears and Session Clears. This list will include how every participant and how many packs they have cleared AND how many sessions they have finished. That’s about it! If you have any questions or suggestions, leave replies and I’ll look at them.
Here’s a visual representation what a screenshot for a pack clear should be:
Down below is a link to the spreadsheet.
This event is purely for fun and is in no way supposed to be competitive. You are not required to clear every pack nor are you required to finish every session. Just play what you want and have fun!
