Thread: Bunduki timing?
I have a rough timing list worked out but it's very rough... I was trying to have a conversation and count so...
base dance: 7
flo 1: 13
flo 2: 3
flo 3: 10
flo 4: 7
flo 5: 8
flo 6: 9
flo 7: 10
flo 8:11
I spent quite a lot of time trying to get the durations of the flourishes absolutely perfect, but after looking at Ikewe's results, I'm wondering if lag played a factor in my results.
I have a weird way of figuring out timing for flourishes.I don't use a stopwatch, I use a macro-type thing. For example, for the first flourish, I used:/echo flo 1; /pause 11; /echo flo 2. I enter an estimate for the time of the flourish and the echo commandsends a message only to me, so I know when the flourish starts. Then I enter an estimate for the time of the flourish. I start dancing and if Flourish 2 begins before Flourish 1 has ended, I add more time to my estimate until I get the timing perfect. I know, it's a dorky method, but I'm kind of obsessive about my timing.
Anyway, I'm sure you found that fascinating. 
Here are my results:
Base Dance: 12
Flo 1: 11
Flo 2: 4.75
Flo 3: 14.75
Flo 4: 11
Flo 5: 13.5
Flo 6: 14.5
Flo 7: 17.5
Flo 8: 18.5

That's basically how I do it too, but I just add them in one at a time and eyeball it now. I used to send myself a message though, way back. I don't usually now unless I'm trying to track down a really pesky one that keeps messing up.
... of course, I do a lot just by sight now and have for a long time. I have hang ups about macros not coming off right, so I wobble back and forth.
