From the rules page:
- All players must have a valid e-mail address registered in MARP (reachable by the "@" link on the score table). This way judges can directly reach the player to inform them of any bad inps. Failure to have a valid e-mail address will result in disqualification. Why? You can easily get an email address, use Yahoo, or Hotmail, or something like that, and you've got one.

Jump_etr is not using m35tg3. The first two T3 submissions are
m34rc2, and the next two (although indicated as being m35tg3) are
m35, not m35tg3. I remember we had a player called Jump during T2
using wrong versions constantly and not paying any attention to what
everyone said. Could Jump and Jump_etr be the same person? If so,
then I wouldn't mind at all having Jump_etr disqualified. The sooner
the better. Saves all the judges a lot of work...
<p>
What's next? Gust_etr?

Cheers,

Wow.
This is getting a bit "elite".
I guess all the players are not MARP veterans, but ok it's not an
excuse for not reading the rules.
<p>
Anyway this is just day2 & it has already changed a bit.
Gauntlet2 settings have changed & the m35tg3 link is not broken
anymore, so...

For a beginner in MARP, especially if he's not a computer expert, it's
very difficult to gather all the informations ( zip and inp files,
dip switches, commands on keyboards, dos versions, win versions,
-record or -playback options, and so on ... ) and respect all our
rules. So don't be too elitist, Ben Jos, and allow some errors and
benefit of doubt, at least for a few days again...

If I ever enter a competition, I always read the rules. They tend to
tell me what the hell I'm supposed to be doing, for one thing.
<p>
I'd figure though that if you can set up DOS MAME, record a game, zip
the .inp file and upload it to MARP, then you can easily manage to
type an email address in a form when making a MARP account...
<p>
or am I being "elite" by thinking this?

Right. This has nothing to do with being elitist. And being a newbie
or not has nothing to do with not bothering to read the rules first.
In my opinion, joining something or signing up for something without
reading the rules first, is plain stupid, and I have no compassion for
that.
<p>
We went through the same thing with some people in T2, and no matter
how many (kind!) e-mails were sent or how many descriptions of their
submissions were edited, they completely ignored it. I would have been
more than willing to help if they had just asked (for instance by
replying to my e-mails). Well, whatever, their scores will just be
zeroed out again...

Setting-up DOS Mame is not that easy, as we've seen with Gauntlet2 &
even with Ladybug.
Reading the rules is not that easy if you're not english.
Can you read french?

So Jump_etr understands enough to download and use m34rc2 and submit
recordings selecting m34rc2 from the drop box as well as select m35tg3
from the drop box (thus showing some understanding that that is the
version to be used), but not to use m35tg3?
<p>
And I am not English, nor is English my first language. And, yes, I
can read French.

Bien compris
<p>
What i meant was that, for someone who is no into this for some
times, it could be a bit confusing, and slow to understand all
those "tech" things right (settings, versions & stuff).
<p>
Just asking for a bit of indulgence (dunno if it's the right word in
english).

Yes, "indulgence" is a correct word to use here. And I may have been
a bit harsh, but someone who can read enough English and has enough
knowledge to get MAME up and running, download ROMs, record .inps,
zip them up, create a MARP account, submit those .inps to MARP,
understand that m35tg3 (why else the sudden change from m34rc2 to
m35?) has to be used for T3, etc. etc., should also be able to read
the rules...
