I'll proudly inform, that the long-awaited sheet uploader is ready.
Updates can now begin. Please bug the updater crew (Which seems to consist only of Concerto at the moment) instead of me now.
*bow*
:D
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
...Wait, is this some kind of cruel joke?
To Concerto?
Yes.
Poor Concerto..
I'm sure we could find volunteers to help him if we need.
Concerto: When can we expect an update?
If this answer is later than July 1st, you die.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You need to hire some more updaters, I'm sure there are many on this site that are willing.
You can count me in. ;D
You can't just be an updater. You have to check that the sheets are properly formatted, aren't ridiculously sloppy, etc. You have to make sure they're playable, and tell them what they need. It's not as simple as just sticking the files into an ftp.
We have discussed this before, haven't we?
Tadaa! (http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=1603.0)

I know, don't I do that anyway? Other than the formatting stuff.
You don't believe me, go take a look at my arrangment thread. Better yet, ask the people that I helped.
Look
Brassman's sheets (http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=1392.0)
Gamer's sheets... oh wait he doesn't have one!
All I want to say is that Brassman works his ass off for this site, makes (one of) the best sheets that NSM has, is always helpful and takes so many requests. He earns a little respect and I think he's the most competable candidate for this position.
And personally, I think Gamer has no right to talk.

i agree 100%
D: Okay....I'll get to it this weekend....LOOK FOR A TOPIC IN THE SUBMISSION FORUM
Awesome, cant wait, that new update page smell. Ahhh....
Wait, when did this all happen?
Oh well, finally!
THANK YOO JAMMYHA.
Greek: Actually I do have a sheet, and it's actually perfectly formatted. Stop being an ass. I'm just trying to tell you that being an updater isn't as simple as you people seem to think.
I'm not an ass, my only problem is you seem to not like the fact that Brass is the guy for this job and not you. Because Brass does so much for this site. And I never underestimated the updater position, but a little trust in Brass would be good.
And sorry if I said you don't have any sheets, I must have overlooked it.
I'm trying to warn him that it's not as easy as he seems to think he is. Nothing more, nothing less.
Okay, then I take it back.
But I think he knows.

I never thought that anything was easy, I just want to help the site out, that's it. If you personally don't think that I can do it, Just say so. Quit attacking the idea of someone being an updater.
Other than that, your negative views get annoying after awhile, calm down. Not everything has to be trivialized to the brink of annoyance.
If you have a problem with me, just say so. I have no problem with this.

With the new uploader, hopefully it won't be as bad as what Nakah had to go through.
The original staffing got through plenty fine without the new uploader.
:D *copious amounts of rejoicing ensue*
Thank you, JaMaHa! ;)
Hmm, I'll have to look into this new uploader... See if it's time for a comeback. If you guys would have me back, that is. ;) (I don't even recognize half of you, actually. Nice to meet you all.)
Gamer, quiet yourself, you're just making yourself more unpopular. No, updating's not easy. But that doesn't mean that people besides yourself and other vets are up to the task. More than anything it's just incredibly boring. :P Hopefully the new uploader lowers the boredom a bit.
NIce to meet you too Mr. Nintendude. It's an honor to meet one of the veterans of the site.
No need for titles or kissing up. I can't get you anything. XD
Haha, I suppose. Seriously though, it's really cool to meet another vet of the site. I don't really meet too many of them. I personally am not one for ass kissing, sorry. And I say Mr. out of respect, thats all. No harm done, no worries. I'm just glad that another updater is back.

Nice you see you again blah blah.....GET TO WORK!
JaMaHa don't like blah blah :-[?
I need to stop trying to be funny. It never works.
I don't understand what..">_>" Is.
Nintendude: Your incompetence is your weakness! If you simply do it as you did before NSM will end up as a shitpile of awful arrangements like it used to be. You have to actually STUDY them to make sure they are PERFECT. We cannot taint the site with key signature-less sheets, ridiculous unplayable songs, ones that don't match the originals whatsoever, and absurdly messy arrangements that don't use proper notation. NOT AGAIN.
That is all.
Excuse me?! How do you have the NERVE to say something like that? Yeah, NSM has had rough times, but you can't blame me for all of the crap sheets that were up before I even started as an updater. I spend hours and hours of my time looking through each sheet, listening to it, making adjustments and formatting, and you just write that off as incompetence? You have said some things to make me hate you before, but this is just outrageous.
Write back soon, love and kisses
-Nintendude73
That wasn't all srs you know. I didn't say that YOU caused it all. But it IS serious that we need to make sure that we don't have a mess like that again.
Also, you made it sound like you weren't going to pay attention to the sheets, so you asked for it.
Well, obviously we don't want to make a mess. >_>
And I fail to see where you got that from... but I'll just leave you to your hallucinations and be on my way...
Yo relax. I can take a look at some of the sheets if you want, and I'm sure others can too. That means the real updaters will have less work to do editing submissions...assuming we just don't make things worse...

Ouch
Oh yeah, I also wanted to say you were incompetent. It's fun to use that word.
I'm not incompetent, you're an incompetent bitch who should shut up.
Yeah, it's fun to use that word :D Thanks Gamer.
Umm... just a question. Where is the borderline between "riduculously hard" and "unplayable" songs?
For example, I'd say that Break The Targets (SSBM) is crazily hard to play, not to say that it's impossible. Can someone on the other hand point out an unplayable song on here, so I have anything to compare to?
(I know, measure 39 in Master Hand Battle (SSBM), but an entire song?)
Unplayable generally means, from my experience, that there are impossible reaches in the song. Someone wise told me a long time ago that anything that asks you to play over more than an octave with one hand is impossible. I can't think of any unplayable songs off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are some on the site that still haven't been fixed.

Sorry, that's crap. I can easily play chords with an octave + third in between.
What are you, an Aipom?
Hahahahaha. That one's great, seriously. Although I'd said an "Ambipom". I have two hands you see ;)
No, just a tall person with exceptional large hands :D
What the hell's an Ambipom?
Oh yeah, that's one of those stupid evolution Pokemon that they added without telling anybody.
Exactly. The idea of "we can't be original, so let's just create an umptiest evolution of a Pokémon that didn't evolve before".
Wow, I go for a day and a half, and all that in page 3 happens.

Just going by what someone told me. You must be an exception to their rule. :P
I believe that's what some one told you, but I think it's incorrect :-[
Like the Sam Waetford's Banjo Kazooie theme where the right hand played fast 16th note arpeggios over 2 1/2 octaves(without 8va not to mention) and polka style left hand parts with eighth notes spaced almost two octaves apart. I think it was fixed, but THAT was impossible.
Octave is standard reach limit on songs. Some people can reach farther than that, but we can't be hating on them tiny-handed little people. Octave is a good standard, which is why we use it.
And welcome back Nintendude.
Thanks, kotor. :)
Unplayable is the Princess' Secret Slide by Gori Fater. Really unplayable.

Ive re-made Sam Waetford's BK theme arrangement, but nobody has left me to submit it... the 8vas in the LH were completely fixed, and some wrong notes were fixed too..

Super Mario 64? Possibly the one on GameMusicThemes? :P This makes me want to revise the 'Slide' arrangement already on the site...
Yes, that one. And Greek, do you mean chords like the ones in Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# Minor? If so, those aren't a problem at all.

Those are easy to me... Believe it or not, ive learned that prélude in 2 days :P its so damn beautiful and powerful..

No, those aren't hard. It's a great piece, studying it right now.
No problemo.
The Rachmaninoff prelude just has overlapping chords, nothing too unusual, and I third the notion of it being a great piece.
Don't you just love how people compare impossibilties to Rachmaninoff and Liszt?
To be honest, I've never played a piece from Liszt (dahans is gonna hate me for saying this =P), so I can't tell.

Overlaping chords arent hard... a bit of pratise, and its done :P
According the musicologists, Lizt and Rachmaninoff were the greatest pianist of all time. As you know, they've composed their musics, according to their piano skills, which is almost impossible to reach. Liszt's Music requires a great technique to play his music. Rachmaninoff's Music requires a huge hand, and also a lot of technique (even if his musics are easier)...
Thats why we, musicians, compare impossible musics to rachmaninoff and Lizst: because their music is also almost impossible to play too.

You're not the only one...
I never played Lizst, Mozart, Prokofiev, John Field, and almost Chopin in my life...
But Im starting to play Hungarian Rhapsody and Transcendental étude "Les Harmonies du Soleil" (Lizst), Concerto No. 27 in Bb major (Mozart) and Nocturne No.4 in F-Major (Chopin)...... Ill not be killed by dahans today! muahahah xD
Quote from: ALPRAS on June 21, 2009, 05:14:20 AMIll not be killed by dahans today!
Well not today, but some day... ::)
Ill put a sentry gun in my bedroom, so he cant enter :P
Woah i've been gone for a while. Congrats on finishing the uploader JaMaHa! Now to just find my submissions page in the deep dark depths of the 5th page =P.

Why should I hate you for this ^^ xD. I hate Liszt myself. His pieces are just for show-offs, like he was.

I agree... but some of his pieces are just wonderful. Also, you can show-off with his songs, which is great.....also, you win some girls hearts xD
Do you play Liszt???? That's insane... Liszt was born in a town 15 km away from mine :D

Sure :)
Im playing Hungarian Rhapsody and Transcendental étude "Harmonies du Soir"... its cool, but it blow up your body... xD
Wait, which Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 2 right? That's a popular piece, but I prefer the 6th and the 12th, but if you really want a flashy piece, Grand Galop Chromatique. Just look for the music on ISMLP and it'll make your hands cramp.
