HYPE! An Evil 4 Letter Word. July: Month of the Skill Token!
Few things to share with you guys today. First off, I’d like to formally announce July as Skill Token Month. I know we had hinted at it before, but now it is official. We will be releasing SIXTY TWO skill tokens throughout the month of July… 2 per day, each and every day. Some reqs will be simple. Others will be insanely difficult. I’ll do my best to be original on all the reqs and match an easier req to an easier song. Once July starts, you can continue to check this page for all of your skill token update needs. Also, this thread is the official home for all things token related, but I suspect we’ll have a seperate thread specifically for this event. Big thanks to TheRapingDragon for maintaining that thread, big thanks to Brilliant Dyanmite Neon for all the past token images, and a personal big thanks to WhorliChan for all the skill token images that will be used in this event.
Now, you may be wondering how we can add 62 songs to the game and not run out of ones to add in the future. Well… we will be draining our queue to a big degree. It’ll drop from around 100 to 35 or so. But, thanks to all of our wonderful simfile authors, that queue just keeps filling back up and filling back up again. EVEN STILL… I’d like to take this time to let you all know, once again, that ANYONE can submit files to me for consideration to be added into the game. Check out this subforum for all things related to FFR Song Submissions and FFR Song Permissions. Because we DO have to have permission to use a song.
Which brings up my final point of discussion. A huge thanks to Rebirth0, jimerax, and everyone else who works so hard in getting us new artist permissions. One man has recently risen above the rest though, and I’d like to not only acknowledge it, but also let all of you know about all of the new Rock permissions he’s gotten us. DrugstoreCowboy is a one-man MySpace Emo/Rock permission machine. His recent permissions include: Kaddisfly, Racing Kites, The Perfect Mistake, Off Broadway, August Burns Red, A Billion Ernies, LoveHateHero… and those are just the blanket permissions. There are even more in the Permissions Subforum. HUGE thanks to DrugstoreCowboy.
So, to summarize: Crap-ton of new skill tokens in July means that I’m going to need a bunch more submissions to replenish the queue… and it just so happens that we have a huge new influx on Rock permissions to use for stepfiles.
You may now begin the praise. Be it for me, for the stepfile authors, the songwriters, the permission gatherers, the image makers. Or, heck, praise yourself!

Destiny to NOT Have Token #12.
I know many of you have been looking for a REAL challenge out of our Skill Tokens. Well, you have your first. Certainly not your last, and certainly not the hardest you’ll ever have…. but this one is pretty darn challenging.
As is stated in the Skill Token Page, Destiny v2 is unlocked via a very specific result on Destiny. What is that specific result, you might ask?
To unlock Destiny v2, you have to get EXACTLY:
313 perfects
0 goods
0 averages
299 misses
0 boos
I’m referring to it as the imperfect AAA. I will state that there is a trick to getting that score that’ll make it a bit easier. You still need to have skill, but if you figure out this trick, it’ll take away half the challenge. I’d like to request that if you figure out what this trick is, you keep it to yourself for a bit. I’d like for this to stay as hard as possible as long as possible.
About Destiny v2: It is the full version of the song Destiny by Kyle Ward, as opposed to the ITG cut used in Destiny v1. It is a low 4.5/6 on the Chardish scale, aka Challenging. I managed to AAA it without TOO much trouble, but i suspect it’ll be a fun FC for most, but a hard AAA. Very upbeat, as with all of Kyle Ward’s Smiley songs. PS – file is by hi19hi19, and is NOTHING like his famous Destiny file for StepMania.
Have fun, and feel free to start complaining all my little Token Tards.
-Tass & his evil Skill Token reqs.
PS – Just so you guys don’t think I’m doing all these evil reqs and then getting access to them myself without being able to do it… see the FFR Scores thread. I posted a SS of me doing it hours ago. I even had to do it a 2nd time about an hour ago to verify that the req was set up correctly in the database.
FFR Radio, Back On Top!
Howdy guys,
After some fine tuning and major convincing, I’ve decided to have a comeback tour on the radio. So, expect me to be in there broadcasting fairly frequently at all hours of the day and night. Having some issues with my mic, so no speaking until I get that worked out… but awesome rockin’ tunes and your requests.
I’m even broadcasting RIGHT NOW. As of 10:00pm PST. Will update this when I get off as well.
I’m on Station 3. So come listen and chat.

EDIT: Oh yea! The link to the radio is at the top… or just click on this whole thing.
EDIT2: 11:50pm PST. Radio Show over. Show died when my winamp locked up. Went from 19 listeners to 5.
Skill Token Updates And AdminCon Signoff …
We think everything should be working correctly for now. Please confirm that the skill tokens are working for us and let us know. Essentially if you received any of the skill tokens, they should be showing up now.
Please post in here if you still have issues. Also the skill token page will be updated in the next couple of days to properly show the current data!
On a final note from me, thanks for everyone’s patience these last couple of days as we are winding down on our massively busy week, where Rick0rz, Xelius, Nestlekwik, Tasselfoot, Synthlight and myself spent many MANY late nights and early mornings getting plans in place, testing ideas and moving FFR ahead.
A lot of FFR and its neighbors are going to see some love and get updates from profiles, to FFR, to SpinItUp, Metrivia, the FFR Video Chat and Rithum Gaming News. Pretty much all of the sites and sections have schedules for updates throughout this summer and if we can hit all our goals you guys are in for a big summer too!
A lot is on the way folks .. and the summer is just starting!
See you guys out there and in here!
Spontaneous Contest Winners Announced!
The contest is officially over and we apologize for the wait, but here are the results you’ve been waiting for. Each panel judge selected one photo a piece, and here are the winners of tonight’s spontaneous contest:
It’s good to be the King. Submission by DJ_Swabber.
My local Chik-Fil-A closed, so it’s good to see the cows are still getting work. Submission by WVUSaxyGirl.
Apparently this person knows I sometimes wear glasses – great photoshopping here. Submission by omg_its_manda.
All winners should check their private messages sometime in the near future to receive a coupon for the free shirt, which we will be able to mail to those who order as soon as Monday. As always, thank you to everyone who entered the contest and don’t give up hope if you didn’t win. There’s bound to be at least one more contest before the week is over …
I’ve been notified the token is still on its way and, one way or another, it will be posted before we retire for the night. Keep checking back and we’ll provide the clue to get you well on your way to another FFR song. If everyone is good, though, I might still release a bonus file tomorrow.

OMGWTFBBQ Tass Made A Simfile?!?!
Yes… it is true. I have finally succumbed to the darkside and made a simfile. Albeit… one of the easiest files in the game. It’s by one of FFRs oldest artists, Antinomie. The file was gathering dust in Kwik’s basement (same with Killer Dance Floor. They were roommates.) The song is called Free Space. It’s 3:18 long, but I cut it to 1:08. Expect me to make a full version as a v2 later on that is a bit harder.
This continues and spearheads our effort to get more easy files into the game to please our less-than-skilled users, who may be less vocal… but are the majority. So no complaining if you find it too easy!!! It is easy on purpose.
You can find the file in the upper left of Dance page 1. Killer Dance Floor is now in the middle of the upper row of page 1 of Dance.
-Tass, newly crowned Simfile Author.
EDIT: We also would like to let you know that there will be a Spontaneous Contest tomorrow, a Token released tomorrow, and likely a Spin It Up file tomorrow.
FFR Radio At AdminCon 2.0
Quick little news story: Check out everything that is going on in the radio! Specifically, check out Station 5, where DJ Neko (littlenekochan) is broadcasting live from the Meeting here in Chicago.

FFR Blue Man
I thought it was about time that I surface this week and actually write something on the front page of FFR during FFR AdminCon 2. I was having some serious FFR posting withdrawl.
After a long few days of keeping everyone locked in the basement of this gorgeous house while I eat pizza flavored pringles, I thought it was time to release everyone out into the midst of the Chicago nightlife to experience Blue Man Group at the Briar Street Theater.
I suspected that everyone enjoyed the show.. but.. I had no idea just how much they enjoyed it until after the lights turned on and everyone posed for a picture just outside the theater.
And this is that picture..
Enjoy.
Cheers,
Synthlight
Update from Chicago
So we’ve had a long day of meetings, not getting our computer set up that has Flash on it, and wandering around downtown Chicago at 10-11pm… which is apparently really late, because everything we wanted to go and see was closed. Sears Tower, Millennium Park, and some really really big fountain. Basically, we’ve discovered that Synth doesn’t know his city very well. :-/
Anyway, we’ll get that simfile released to you guys mid-day tomorrow. Didn’t want you staying up all night waiting for it when it won’t be around for another 12 hours or so.
Keep up the suggestions and the amusing comments. We’ll try to do the same.
