Songs Of The Week (October 20th, 2011)
Another week here at FFR means another set of new songs for everyone to enjoy.
There are four songs this week, with the veteran’s song listed in blue. Check out this week’s new releases:
[October 20 Released Songs]
The Degradation of the Soul by MvM (Silvuh) – Misc (Industrial) / Very Easy / 2:28

The veteran’s song from two weeks ago has been released to the public as well. Don’t forget to give it a try if you haven’t had the chance yet!

We appreciate your feedback on these songs. Visit this thread and tell us what you think!
In addition to the new songs, there have been numerous other changes here at FFR over the past week.
Some of the biggest changes have related to FFR’s multiplayer. Specifically, multiplayer now uses raw score! Gone are the days where getting one miss in multiplayer spells instant defeat- things should be a lot more competitive now.
If that announcement gets you excited about jumping into multiplayer, why not see where you stack up against the rest of the MP community first? Check out the new multiplayer stats page here and see how you compare. This page can be accessed any time you like by following the link in the Daily Stats page.
As always, there have been numerous minor bug fixes too. These include the squashing of a credit transfer bug and minor issues with score reporting on the Velocity engine.
Looking for a way to help the FFR community grow even more? Are you fluent in a language other than English? If you are, check out this thread for your opportunity to help translate FFR into other languages!
That’s it for this update. Enjoy your arrow smashing!

FFRMas 2008 – Day 1!
Sorry that this is so brief… I’m in Philly with my family, flying back to LA tomorrow morning. I’ll make sure to give a big story on Tuesday.
Today is the start of our 3rd annual FFRMas celebration… 12 days of publicly released FFR files! This year is a year of diversity. 2 new levels each day. That’s 24, for those who don’t want to do math. Of those 24, we have 22 different artists… and 24 different stepfilers (although 2 are collabs, so there are 2 users with repeat levels).
All levels will be at the end of Hip-Hop through the end of the event, then they’ll be moved to their proper locations. Today’s songs are Fei Longer by Star Salzman, stepped by hi19hi19 and Night and Day by Virt, stepped by ElectricWerewolf. Sadly, I won’t get to play either of these files until Tuesday… so I can’t give you any reviews on them. Also, the difficulties listed in-game will be wrong until I can play them and fix it.
But, I’m sure you all are just glad to get some levels…  not to mention darkshark’s MP contest running now through 11pm EST!!! Maybe he’ll do something involving these new levels? Who knows…

PS – No links, because I’m in a rush… will make sure to give love to all the linkless folks on Tuesday. Promise.
New Multiplayer mods, what?!
Yes. It’s true. Throughout the last few days Windscarredfaith, Tass, Rebirth, Kit- and I have all been monitoring people in MP, and keeping members in mind that would suit the two new MP positions that are now available. After some harsh deciding, we all have come do a unanimous decision on both.
The first Mod that we chose is no one else but the infamous Darkshark. Darkshark has been with the community for awhile now, and we think he suits the position perfectly, despite his gender confusion issues.
Our second new MP Mod is Kat-. Not to be confused with Windscarredfaith (whose name is Kat) or Kit-, Kat- has also been with the community for a long time and is often found chatting it up in multiplayer.
I would like you guys to congratulate them, and treat them with plenty of respect. Great job!
Toodles,
Scottish.
Not to sneak in on Scott’s parade, but I’d also like to congratulate Scottish on being added as an MP Admin for his behind the scenes work in MP modding. And as a reminder, if you see anyone in MP doing something they shouldn’t be doing, please contact one of us via IM, PM, or a message on our profiles. IM is definitely the fastest way though. Just because one of us is not in MP 24/7 does not mean that we aren’t around and can’t take care of a spammer or two.

FFR Multiplayer Socket Server Update ..
Well, some of you guys may love this, and likely some of you will hate this. As you know, we have done some updates to “FFR Multi-Player Music Game” to get some of the more obvious exploits out. Yes, it is certainly hard to find everything, but we are doing what we can.
For the sake of our server performance .. we have nailed down some of these bugs. For those of you that hate exploiters, you will likely cheer with glee. The exploiters however, will likely bleat in dismay (some will even show themselves for who they are in comments of previous posts … but go unnamed).
