Spon Con – Super Bowl Edition
Quick spontaneous contest… the first person who correctly picks the exact score of tonight’s super bowl (including which team wins) will get 20,000 credits and a 6 month subbie. If nobody gets it correct, the closest person will win (closest first means correct team, then closest to the exact score by taking the absolute value different of both the winning and losing teams score).
You may only guess once…Â submitting many guesses will not only disqualify you, it will definitely piss me off.

This is now over. Congrats to foilman8805 for his guess of 27-21 and to the Steelers for winning 27-23.

FFRMas 2008 – Days 5 and 6!
I have a good reason for no story yesterday… I wanted to make sure the sync issues in Etude in E Major were fixed first. I took care of that earlier today, so voila.
Etude in E Major is a really simple file, a Classical FBO. Song is fairly well known, composed by Chopin. Stepfile by Xandertrax. Juxtaposed with that is Toxiferous Dystopia, which is a FMO song by DJ Cristo. It’s a pretty darn rough FMO. Stepfile by TC_Halogen.
Today’s 2 files are both on the harder end of the spectrum. Master Maid (which, I’ve been told, has no relation to I Am Maid apart from both being Sharpnel songs with “Maid” in the title) is a FMO Sharpnel file. Because of the name, I stuck it in Purchased… 2500 credits only. It’s pretty much what you’d expect out of a FMO Sharpnel file. Still fun to play though, so give props to kommisar[os]. Along with that is t+pazolite‘s easy-at-a-VC song Summer Time Perfume. Just like the name says, it’s a pretty fun and airy journey through 4 arrowdom. I’m not sure what bmah was thinking…. but the file has 1666 notes. Your guess is as good as mine.
Other news: I’m so swamped right now, plus traveling all day tomorrow, that I’m pushing back PSH3: Return of the Mannequin until the 1st weekend in January.

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…
-Tass
PS – No links, because I’m in a rush… will make sure to give love to all the linkless folks on Tuesday. Promise.
Multiplayer Not-So-Spontaneous Contest!!
The Date: Sunday, December 14th
The Time: 1pm to 8pm PST
The Place: Multiplayer lobby of FFR
The Prizes? Your piece of HALF A MILLION credits + subscriptions
This contest will be a little bit of everything (MP gaming, scavenger hunts, FFR trivia, and more!), details can be found HERE.
Tass note: Expect Photo Scavenger Hunt 3: Return of the Mannequin to take place the weekend before Christmas (the 19th-21st). And, of course, we’ll be having a Christmas song event too.
2 Hour Spon Con
Yes, spon con. Because all the hip and cool people shorten everything. This spontaneous contest is opinion based and 100% subjective… so the winning answer will be the one that I like best:
Which non-widget artist on FFR would you most like to see an album and support token from? Why?
Winning answer will get 25,000 credits. Any other answers I like will get 10,000. Consider this my way of giving out some credits in the post-purchased splurged environment.
You guys have 2 hours. Contest ends at 11pm PST.
-Tass
PS – Don’t forget about the schwag sale going on through tomorrow night. Promo code: yayffr
Congrats to trumaestro for winning! Also 10 other users were given 10k for their responses. I also have already contacted SGX to start discussing an album.
Photo Scavenger Hunt #3 – Need Ideas!
I’ve been getting some nuggding that people want a 3rd Photo Scavenger Hunt. And I’m happy to oblidge. I love them. They’re hilarious and you guys put so much effort into them. But, I’m starting to run out of ideas. Every time I think of something to use, I realize I’ve already done it in one of the previous 2.
So I need your help. I know I said that I wasn’t going to ask for assitance with this… but I’ve changed my mind. I want the help of all of you. Tell me your ideas. But, please, don’t be retarded with them. Don’t spam the comments with stuff. Keep it serious.
What I want from you guys is your ideas AND how many points you think it should be worth. Just remember, it needs to stay PG-13 (no nudity or violence!) and it should be doable by the majority of participants. Aka, if you have “picture of you in front of a corn field,” that is too specific. People in cities or various parts of the world wouldn’t be able to do it. So it needs to be broad enough that most people can do it.
I appreciate the help guys! If you guve me good ideas, I can run this in about 2-3 weeks.
