5th Official FFR Photo Scavenger Hunt!
That’s right, you heard us, it’s here! The fifth official FFR photo scavenger hunt has arrived. If you’ve never heard of this before, you probably don’t browse the forums or haven’t been around since Tasselfoot’s departure in 2009. We haven’t had a photo scavenger hunt since then, but they were always a big hit with a lot of the community. That being said, we’re looking forward to an interesting and fierce competition this year for the photo hunt! Details can be found in this thread, and we hope to see you guys around! Literally!
Cheers,
psychoangel691, justin_ator, and the FFR Staff
FFR STANDALONE!
Edit: It has been pointed out that our resident forum moderator Kayla, has long since had a reference and guide for the use of the stand alone system. Her contributions to the new guide have been essential, and the post has been improved dramatically as a consequence. Please thank psycho for her previous work, and for putting up with no one knowing it existed. A simultaneous ‘apologies’ and ‘thank you’ from the devs.
For the past forever people have been experiencing some form of lag or another while playing our beloved game. A solution to this problem has long since been found. What is it? The stand alone system! It has been documented, posted, reposted, reposted, reposted, and reposted over the past i-can’t-even-remember-how-long, but not once afaik has a thread been made. Until Today!
Put your hands together for justin_ator! The brave soul has pieced together a guide for you and your ffr-running-inept computer. Feel free to upvote, comment, pm, and/or thank him in some way!
Thank you, justin_ator. We love you.

I’ll Skin You Alive!
Zag Edit: Just a quick reminder. The skins, themes, buttons, interface you design is entirely your decision. The original template, seen below, is not how we demand the game looks. You can be as creative as your mind is limited to. Love the wheel system in FFR? Then make a wheel system. It’s up to you. Remember that your skin can simply consist of objects, buttons, artwork, and a detailed explanation of how the objects would be animated and placed together. It’s all up to you. The engine that I am designing is entirely object oriented. Anything can be placed anywhere, let your imagination run wild! (No 3D or excessive zooming please!)
Note: Talk to justin_ator & yo man im awesome for details on due dates. The final submission deadline will be in late august so you have plenty of time.
Haha okay, not really.
Welcome everyone! We have a new contest for you!
For those of you who do not know, there is a new new engine in the making at this time. It’s known as BlackWebb. BlackWebb is basically going to be FFR, completely redesigned and upgraded. This is where our contest comes into play:
Our contest is to see who is the very best at designing.
Your goal, in short, is to design a new layout skin for BlackWebb! The original template for BlackWebb can be found here.
The winners in this contest will receive the prize of the title of “BlackWebb Skin Designer“, X amount of credits (based on placement [1st, 2nd, etc.] and how many skins we accept), and having their own skin available in-game.
These skins will be judged similarly to the simfiles that are submitted for the game (details in the thread). After the judges have accepted a specific number of skins to be voted on, you guys (the public) will cast your votes to rank the best.
Use any sort of theme or color schemes you like, make sure it is your own work, and remember to keep it unique and have fun!
Please go to the thread, located here, for the remaining small details and to discuss this contest.
Good luck and have fun!

Who wants vRofl??
Well, after a huge thread suggesting new ways to unlock vRofl, we have finally decided to listen. In addition to Official Tournaments, we will now give out vRofl to anyone who accumulates 1 billion grand total score in 24 hours, or, for those of us who are not insomniacs, 50 billion grand total score. We realize that both of these are near impossible for most people, but hey, it’s less impossible than no chance at all.
In order to qualify for vRofl with 1 billion grand total score in 24 hours, you must attain this before 12am server time (server clock is in the banner of the site), since that is when daily stats reset. The best way to do this would be to start playing as soon as the daily stats reset. Before you say this is impossible, it has been accomplished by six people so far.
Also, as to be expected, anyone who attains either of these feats illegitimately will have all stats reset and will be blacklisted from the game.
The process is not automatic (so we can better weed out cheaters one by one), so if you qualify, please send a PM to an administrator, or post in the vRofl thread.
Good luck!

Songs Of The Week (Jun 8, 2011)
Hi guys. Here’s more front page news about new songs – we have three to talk about today.
The Final Hour — Dance2 / Very Challenging / 2:34
Feeling This REMIX — Dance / Very Difficult / 1:48
Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya! — Arcade / Challenging / 1:02
Before we get to details about the new releases, let it be noted that this is a special release – 2 of these songs are charted by someone who does not yet have a chart in game. Congratulations to them!
Release #1: The Final Hour
Dimrain47? Who the heck is that? Well, all of you stream masters might have simply skimmed over the all of the Dimrain songs after achieving that elusive full-perfect combo. The Final Hour is the first public Dimrain47 song to hit FFR since Rebirth0′s speedy but short chart for Forsaken Neon (back in December of 2007!). Unlike the previous Dimrain47 songs, this will not go down as easily; with a Very Challenging rating, this song sits atop of all Dimrain47 charts in terms of difficulty, and gives you more than just the usual dosage of streaming – you’ll be battling heavy layering and fairly speedy jumpstream for a decent majority of the chart. Stepchart is by FFR’s newest moderator, psychoangel691. You’ll find this song in Dance2.
Release #2: Feeling This REMIX
Are you one of those people who love Clockwork, but can’t handle the chart? If so, Feeling This REMIX is your song. Breakbeat Heartbeat makes a second appearance on FFR with a moderately technical file, using 8th note jumps at a decently fast pace of 180 BPM, throwing 16th streams and the occasional color shift due to BPM cuts and increases. This is the easiest chart of the three releases, only pushing the Very Difficult mark. Let us give a round of applause to MrPopadopalis25 for bringing this to FFR – you can give it a play in the Dance genre.
Release #3: Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!
A song of an internet meme? A Challenging difficulty rated file by 0? THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END SAVE YOURSELVES
*ahem* now…I’m not sure how many people haven’t heard of the (in)famous Nyan Cat, but if you -have- heard it, this is the song that plays alongside of the endlessly floating pop-tart cat. Daniwell-P, who first made their appearance with Electrical Parade, is the creator of this song. 0 brings his densely layered style to this song to make a tricky jumpstreaming file. Out of the three songs, this is the shortest one, only clocking at a minute and two seconds of play time! You’ll find this one sitting in Arcade.
Have fun! Feel free to comment about the charts on this page.
