Q: What is IRP?
4
A: IRP stands for Interesting Rhythm Police. When I judge files, I am pretty particular with rhythm choices, and so IRP is basically a quirky way of expressing my thoughts on a chart's rhythm choices. May have minimal effect on file ratings; low scores can happen on files that are IRP approved, and on incredibly rare occasions, non-approved files can even get 10/10 ratings. But the IRP's existence is primarily for fun. Also, only applies to the hardest chart in each file, as lowers are assumed to be understepped anyways, with two exceptions: 1) the hardest chart is overstepped, and 2) I find a lower that would be IRP approved even if a harder chart did not exist (both scenarios which have happened before in Z-I-v contests)

Q: Why is there a "Predicted eataninja frustration" column?
7
A: Inside joke in the Discord server, not much else to it. Also keep in mind these are predictions made before I seek out any of eataninja's thoughts, and it shouldn't be too surprising if this prediction is wrong from time to time.

Q: 🌭?
10
A: Oh that column is for my thoughts on the song choice (only based on my taste in music, the chart quality has no influence on this. Also vice versa; you can still get a 10/10 with a song I cannot stand, as well as a 1/10 with an absolute banger). By extension, song choice vote has no effect on chart vote either.

Q: What charts are you playing?
13
A: I normally play all non-EDIT Singles charts that are X-scale 16 or higher, as well as the hardest chart in each file that is below 16. Will also play EDIT charts if requested by the author, or even if I just plain feel like it (though they will generally be non-judged) As for doubles, same deal as with edits (as in, if you ask or I just feel like it), except I might factor those charts in my rating, particularly if they are better than the singles charts.

The "either by request or if I feel like it" applies to singles lowers that I would normally not look at as well.

Speaking of which, just because I play a chart, does not mean it will be factored in my votes! This goes for all charts other than the hardest non-EDIT single chart. Usually this will be if the charts in question are worse than the hardest chart.

Q: Why is some of the feedback in grey text?
16
A: That means that the chart in question is not factored into my votes.

Not technically a Q but: I disagree with your opinion
19
A: Yup, as with all art forms, that's to be expected tbh. Look, we can agree to disagree, and I'm down for discussion based on said disagreement. Just be respectful about it honestly, that's all I ask, and understand that I am under no obligation to agree with you. Also the fact that my vote is only one of 25+, so who knows? Maybe all the other voters disagree as well.
