Nestle Claus Christmas Credit Giveaway
Here are the winners (of course chosen via random.org)!!! But, first, a word from our sponsors:
While the giveaway originally stemmed from 50,000 credits from Nestle Claus, the following members have selflessly donated to the contest – .dot, Clipso, Sullyman2007, Roy Campbell and CornontheCod. While I originally said there were 250,000 credits total in the pot, I guess I lied. Since the original promise was five winners at 10,000 credits, I’d hate to give away prizes of 5,000. Thus, I have added 5,000 credits to each prize, meaning the five grand prize winners will net 35,000 credits each, second-tier winners will take 20,000 each and the third-tier winners will earn the promised 10,000 credits each. Without further ado:
Grand prize winners (35,000 credits each):
Speedking7, fullmetal_alchemist027, RB_Mapleleaf2102, coolade123 and Xandertrax
Second-tier winners (20,000 credits each):
SuperSonicX, EvilNerd07, mellonxcollie, phe0nixblade and musicluver1991
Third-tier winners (10,000 credits each):
arrekusuof93, thechild, Syhto, EnR and atalkingcow
*I have transferred all credits to the announced winners and have verified they were delivered in the credit log. Enjoy your credits/secret songs/running tournaments/whatever!*Â
Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone who entered – I honestly didn’t expect so many entries. If you didn’t win this time, sorry, but keep checking back for more possible contests and events as 2007 comes to a close right here on FFR.
FFR T-Shirt Design Contest!!! Plus New Skill Token!
I’ve mentioned it a few times over the past few months, and it’s finally a reality. We’re holding a contest to design the next FFR T-shirt! The winner will have their design used for our next shirt AND will receive the first shirt, hot off the press, for free.
Things to know or keep in mind:
-Needs to be done in 300dpi or higher OR in vector (think illustrator)
-The more colors in the design, the more the shirt will cost (so try to limit it to 2 colors)
-Shirts with front and back designs (vs just front) will cost more as well
-The design shouldn’t be bigger than 12″ wide by 14″ tall
-We’ll be choosing finalists based on design as well as cost to produce
Designs can be PMed to Tasselfoot. From there, the admin team will convene in our secret lair and decide on a few designs as finalists. Then everyone will get to vote on their favorite from the finalists. The design with the highest vote total will win. The rest of the finalists will receive subscription prizes!
Artists have until January 7th, 2008 to get their submissions sent in. Discussions/Designs can be posted in the official thread. Official Logo image can be downloaded from: FFR Official Logo

Skill Token Months Ends… The Five & MaxX AttaxX…. Hype!
MaxX AttaxX and The Five draw our skill token month to a close… it’s been a fun and bumpy ride. And kudos to the 10-15 people who will manage to unlock all 63 tokens released (I’ll try and compile a list and post these people’s names tomorrow… so if you want your name on the front page and think you can get all 63 tokens… do that ASAP!).
In other news… tomorrow will kick off AUGUST! Woo hoo! New User Skill Token Month, which you all will find out more about tomorrow… but rest assured… almost everyone will be able to unlock at least a few tokens, so don’t feel too bad if many of the tokens from July were too difficult for you.
Expect a long overdue regular token to be released tomorrow as well. AND… oh yes… did I mention a SPONTANEOUS CONTEST sometime tomorrow too.
August 1st will be a day you do not want to miss!

*EDIT SYNTHLIGHT* – Hey everyone, thanks for taking part in the contest today. I am busy as usual behind the scenes keeping everyone busy and working on special new releases of FFR and a few other games. I just wanted to mention that the number of FFR games played represents the number of games played by members. What will floor you is if you know how many games were played by unregistered guests.. Maybe we could turn that into a contest as well one night.
Skill Token: #2/62
Calm (Short ‘n’ Slow Mix) is now out. Very soothing file by Pyroshock. To unlock it, get at least as many goods as you have misses on the song I Can See The Light (also by Pyroshock). Yes, you can even have 0 goods and 0 misses. This is a VERY simple req.
PS – 2 hours left in the contest! Submit your entries here. Free subscriptions to the 5 closest of each!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. OMG?
So, today is FINALLY July 1st. I no, rite? Couldn’t get here soon enough. Lets start off Skill Token Month with a bang! You are NOT going to want to leave FFR all day long. First off, 2 skill tokens will be released at some point today. They are:
Emotions v2, by Silver_Brian, our resident v2 simfile author. Emotions is one of our old-school files, a song by Trance [] Control and originally stepped by the one and only bemaniruler (who is so old in the bemani world that he actually coined the term stepfile). Very cool song, although unfortunately v1 is offsync. 
BUT! Now we have a v2 that isn’t and is tons of fun to play. Rated a 7 for overall moderate difficulty. Probably a low 7, IMO. To unlock it you’ll need to get 400+ perfects, 20+ goods, AND 20+ averages on Emotions v1 (which has 500 notes).
Calm (Short ‘n’ Slow Mix) is a very soothing, simple, and melodic song by Pyroshock. What do you know… the song is calming. Anyway, it is a 3 in difficulty… nice and easy to start the month off. File is by hi19hi19. The req to unlock it is also QUITE simple… get goods >= misses on I Can See The Light. Aka, you can AAA it and it’ll unlock, you could set autofail to perfects of 1 and hit the 1st note and unlock it… easy file, easy unlock.
Also, as you all are waiting for… other fun features will be added today too! I’ll be updating this thread when things (new features or songs) get added. So check back often!
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE
Starting right now, and going until 7pm PST (10pm EST, 9pm CST, 8pm MST)…. we’re having a CONTEST! to guess the overall Grand Total Score of all the players on FFR of all time AND separately to guess the overall Games Played of all the players on FFR of all time. This is the link you can use to submit your guesses. PRIZES!: The person who is closest to the GTS will get a 6 month subscription. The 2nd-5th closest will get a 1 month subscription. The person who is closest to the Games Played will get a 6 month subscription. The 2nd-5th closest will get a 1 month subscription. Have Fun guessing!

EDIT: Emotions v2 is available for unlock! The time is 10:07am PST.
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.
