Gameplay Competition!

Posted in Game Announcements, Spontaneous Contests on May 20th, 2008

Clear your schedules and get your ice packs ready!  This Saturday, we’ll be running a 24 hour gamewhoring competition.  If you check the daily stats page, you’ll see that nobody has gotten over 400,000,000 grand total score in months.  I feel that that is unacceptable.  So this contest is my way of forcing/rewarding the brave men or women who dare to try to tackle 24 hours of FFR.

Plenty of notice so that everyone can clear their schedules and plan out a strategy.  The competition will last from 12:01am CST until 11:59pm CST on Saturday (that’s when the daily scores re-set every day).  Highest grand total score wins!

1st place will win an FFR T-Shirt and a 1 year subscription.  2nd place will get a 1 year subscription.  3rd place will get a 6 month subscription.  4th and 5th places will each get a 3 month subscription.

Lastly… anyone who cheats (and you will be caught) will be castrated.  Even if you’re female.

  4. =O castrated

    but I want babies. D:

  5. this sound so awesome o:

  7. Why can’t this be done on a weekend when I have time? I’ll probably try this Friday instead unless something comes up that i need to get done.

  8. Dang it…my parents would kill me if I did this. I will attempt it anyway.

  9. I’m going to get 1 billion points this saturday.

  10. NOOOOOOOOOOOO I’m not going to be home this weekend <___< , aw… anyway I’m not that whore to keep it up 24hrs, and btw… has anyone else noticed FFR is all messed up?

  11. Oh nevermind, back to normal.

  12. For anyone wondering, there are 1440 minutes in a day, and there is a list of the top ten taps/second songs in the R1 Actual Difficulties thread.

  13. dam dam dam, AP exams T-T

  14. chunky: the taps/second list in the difficulties thread is likely out of date.

  15. Aren’t AP tests over?

  16. Oh, well I just played Kakke Ecko about 30 times in a row, and I don’t think I could stand 960. I’m not gonna do a billion XD

  17. ouch Castration. Sounds fun

  18. everyone AAA fotbb 24 hours straight………guarnateed win!

  19. Castration ftl.
    Im gonna try this thing..

  20. boo, I gotta work on saturday :P Maybe next time.

  21. We’ll see if I do this.

    Add like 20 songs… atleast this way I can play something new >_>

  22. Castration with a playdough knife.

    I’m working like 6:30-close(11) on saturday which means im missing a few valuble hours. Ill have to start really early lol.

  23. I’m confused about this… do we have get 400,000,000 points in one day?

  24. Never mind, found out, heh. Sorry about that.

  25. Lol, don’t count me in. Sorry FFR . :p

  26. Even if you’re female…

  27. count me in :D finally an exscuse to play all friggen day!

  28. Damn I was going to hang out with my friends and go to the skatepark on saterday :(

  29. Tass, will you be the one to personally castrate me?

  30. I’ll do this if I’m not in Vegas.

  31. =D This will be fun! Though I doubt I’ll be able to play for very long. Stupid internet filter =(. Limits my time each day to 2 hours.

  32. blah i can only hope that my sister isn’t gonna be home friday night cause i can’t play with sound low i play with the sound very loud! so if she is home this friday night i’m screwed. but yea count me in this saturday i’m doing nothing. if you guys had said next saturday i’d have to castrate “you” >.> <.<

  33. subscription prizes up to 5th place thats a real good and clean deal there not home this Saturday

    i wonder what the score for fifth place going to be
    lol its so obvious there will be a little cheat fest

  34. Fast song + 1 miss autofail = points :D

  35. CRAP! my cousins coming over that day D:
    nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  36. Oh crap… I just realized, I’m turning in my school laptop on Friday (only decent FFRing comp I have ]:)

  37. Agh…can’t this wait until summer?

  38. Are we allowed to simply play one song? (To some, I’m guessing this is a stupid question =\)

  39. Aww I’m not home this weekend =(
    Oh well, good luck everyone

  40. i have a good strategy for this competition :)
    i gotta make sure i do all my crappy hw this week so i can whore all saturday without my parents being mad XD

  41. zoo: we’ll see. ;-)

    to those complaining about not being able to do it: if this goes well, it will likely become a somewhat regular event. i was thinking once a month.

    about cheating: i will be watching for all forms of cheating very heavily, and as stated… punishment for cheating will be overly severe. i do not tolerate it.

  42. i could probably do it if i wasn’t grounded from the computer. Maybe some day over the summer…^^;; Oh well i’ll see what I can get away with…>.> <.<
    I’m one sneaky bastard I am.

  43. No castration plzkthx.
    ]=
    I think I might actually go for this. Ya know, if I have nothing else to do this Saturday. :P
    So I’m sure I’ll be in … all .. day. Oh gawd. D:

  44. lol i’m not good at AAA things so i couldn’t get many points :(

    lol syth still hasn’t said anything about 1500000 members

  45. I could prob do this…but playing all day would be, umm, tiring. I feel sorry for the people that will be staying up all night/day for this. I like it when my eyes are closed for around 7-8 hours each night, just sayin.

  46. My parents may not let me do this…crap…
    I’d probably play blue army ALL DAY xD.

  47. oh fuck you I have shit to do that day :(

  48. no adam no :(
    i wonder if anyone will make it to 1 billion on this first competition

  49. Definitely not going to go all day. I’ll still make a plan and put an effort to get a new record for myself though =)

  50. Gah! :[ I’m not going to be home until 11 (1 hour after it starts) ah well I’ll be going all day.

  51. damn
    that sounds hard
    i highly doubt ill be able to do that
    but ill try :)

  52. so we’re not getting our points back after words?

    I hope i do :/

  53. what would be considered cheating? multi logging?

  54. i so have to work
    goddmanit
    =[
    i might take the day off
    just for FFR
    thats how dedicated i am

  55. 1 erwilzei 605,319,245 11/17/07

    someone so needs to beat that

  56. I plan on taking part in this

  57. perfect chance to waste the rest of my nonexistent life. to hell with eating and bathroom breaks. thats for quitters.

  58. im gonna pay someone to feed me!!
    so im like nonstop!!
    im gonna slay everyone at this

  59. Hoping that my brother won’t be a big issue with it.

  60. Wowees, count me in :)

  61. i was going to list a whole bunch of things that would be considered cheating… but i’m not going to give you guys ideas. if you have to ask, “is this cheating?”… it likely is.

  62. im so doing this, just to be clear 11:59 pm CST is 12:59am eastern?

  63. Are we allowed to have two people playing on the same account at once? I’m guessing that would be cheating?

    By the way, I’m gone from 930 till 1 that day :(

  64. if you win this competition, you lose at life.

  65. count me out, I start feeling the carpal tunnel after an hour of play

  66. yea i have teninitis in my wrist from this damn game
    and i get the most god awful pains in the top of my hand
    but i cant stop
    thank you tass
    and all the wonderful awesome mega staff at FFR
    your all my heroes
    even though your the reason i stay up for long amounts of time
    and cant grab things
    i think this Saturday might put me out of commission
    =]

  67. I’ll enter, but if I win a place, and you ban me and blacklist me under “cheating” EVEN if I didn’t cheat and you assume I did because it’s me, I will be very mad, and I wouldn’t second the thought that you’d frame me, like you blacklisting my other accounts although I NEVER cheated on them, so I’m assuming you’re not retarded and will actually CHECK if I really did cheat instead of just banning me because you don’t like me

  68. 1. users who are permabanned and blacklisted are not eligible for any prizes. why would we reward those users who we don’t want around the site in the first place?

    2. multiple people playing on 1 account is cheating, yes.

  69. Oh. I’m in. Need to catch up on some FFR gameplay anyway.

  70. So I assume it starts on Friday? You left when it started (day) out.

  71. Nice prizes there, Tass.

  72. sounds liek effing fun.. U_U I hope i don’t fall asleep.

  73. Hey Tass what does it mean to be blacklisted?

    I only ask of this because not long ago I was banned for massive and pointless thread necromancy whatever that means….. but thats the only time thats ever happened to me.

    Am I still eligible for the contest? Please let me know, to be honest I hate unanswered questions it gets me into a thinking phase all night and i cant sleep lol.

  74. it’s cool that theres not just one big jackpot, but instead prizes up to 5th place.

  75. ballaw: as stated in the announcement: “The competition will last from 12:01am CST until 11:59pm CST on Saturday (that’s when the daily scores re-set every day)”

    Guru: blacklisting means all your scores are wiped and your scores never record again. it happens to people who cheat.

  76. oh wtf. thats the weekend im leaving for california D:

  77. couldnt u do this after u put all the new songs out…?

  78. The longest I ever played was 7 straight hours. I might play a few games though. FFR FTW

  79. I can’t wait to see how people do. Awesome competition Tass. I hope to see many more in the future.

  80. lol @ post #64

  81. I know I won’t win but I’ll play for 24 hours and get the highest score I’ll ever get in one day.

  82. Hope it does turn into a monthly thing. Can’t do it this Saturday =\

  83. Well, time to whore FFR just like I used to. Good times…

  84. this will be easy

  85. The break a billion challenge? :O

  86. wow, i only have 530,000,000…as my LIFETIME score

    your asking me to take my 1 years worth of work and do it in 24 hours

    your a bunch of crazy Bishes XD

  87. i am definitely curious as to whether anyone will be able to crack 1 billion. i’m quite confident that 600 million will be reached. 1 billion will be the true test of dedication.

  88. Well, taking a look at the outdated taps/second list, Kakke Ecko (The fastest song I can combo easily) will give me 1.34 million for a full combo, and 0.9 million for a screw-up. At it’s length of 1:24, taking 6 seconds for drinking, pee breaks and allowing for ranks to register, I would need to play that song 960 times if I were to consider an average of 1 million per game play (I can’t expect to be functioning at my best when I’ve been awake at 20 hours, even with the help of my favourite energy drinks). So for anyone attempting 1 billion, you will need to be playing for every single second of every minute of every hour for 24 hours. Don’t expect to be able to just wake up that morning and play until your bed time ;)

    (And I probably wont be doing this because it’s crazy :P )

  89. Oh, and when it’s 4:43 A.M, 960 x 1 million is ALWAYS 1 billion.

  90. Those lucky bastards who live in a time zone where this competition starts around the time when they wake up normally anyway.

  91. You mean anyone in Europe? :)

    Not that I’ll be trying to win – I just don’t have the patience or stamina to do it properly. I might just see how many different songs I can pass in one day. Pretty sure FFR has got over 24 hours of songs by now.

  92. this should be easy for me cause i have 309,404,450 points already.

  93. chico it doesnt start today it starts saturday today doesnt matter lol anyway its really hard to get that many points you wil have to play sooo many freaking songs

  94. i already plat 4 song and i’m up to 310,000,000+ by sati should have at least 350mil or more, then it’ll be a lot easier to get to 400mil

  95. Castrated even if female? man thats harsh. lol.

  96. I’m gonna do a sleepover for this one. And I will not stop that day. Gonna go to sleep EARLY on this one. :D

  97. You’re supposed to get 400mil in one day chico, as in, from 400m-800m 137m-537m 0-400m 284,279,921-684,279,921.
    :P

  98. On a Saturday… there is graduation practice the day before. If I sleep early enough to last the whole night, nap, eat, use the bathroom then play the rest of that day, I can go for it. Time to play Marathon songs all day!

  99. Man… the things I do to become an FFR lozar.

  100. I don’t think my eyes could survive that long, and just doing 150 million had them watery. That and the fact that usually my friends come over and make me go see the light outside.

    Good luck for the 1 billion, I’ll be sure to take a look for entertainment during this day :)

  101. i think a simple 250,000,000 will get you a 3 month subscription i guess will see on Saturday

  102. “about cheating: i will be watching for all forms of cheating very heavily, and as stated… punishment for cheating will be overly severe. i do not tolerate it.”
    I should hope so.

  103. oooohhhhhhhh in one day fuggedaboutit….. I’ll be a woodbury commons most of the day!!!

  104. I wish I was allowed to play all day but sadly, my parents are going to be home, and they would tell me to get off the comp. after like an hour.

  105. LOL that sucks, man.

    See, if I stay home, there’s no way in hell I’ll even break 50mil cause of my internet connection. SOOO, I’ll go to my friends house–sleepover at his house.

    Go to bed like at 6 pm., and play 24 hours straight.

    Should be just like a LAN all-nighter. ^^;

  106. Got it! =)

    Quick Question: How much do ice packs cost?

  107. I have a plan to get to 400 million in 24 hours, but playing the same song over will destroy me. What time is that in GMT?

  108. CST is GMT -6. I’ll be posting another reminder on Friday, along with some friendly time zone conversions for those who are apparently too lazy to go to google and figure it out themselves.

  109. I was thinking about when I should do the 24 hour run to get put on the top grand total. And I guess this would be a great time ;P

    I also just got a brand new keyboard! So hopefully this will put me in the run for the top score :D

  110. I will play 24/7 if my mom lets me! First place here I come?

  111. I won’t be able to even get on that day…I have to go somewhere…>.<

  112. actaully, i think i may just try this thing.
    idk if i can stay home on Saturday ALL DAY, but i’ll try. the only times where i may just get off is like in the afternoons wen my parents yell at me to get off the computer b.c they have to use it!
    so i may not get first place, but i’m really aiming for 3rd or 4th! this’ll be fun! :3

  113. in

  114. ….What if FFR goes down like it usually does. You’re gonna have hundreds of players pissed off D:

  115. btw, i can ACTUALLY play 24 hours in a row

    ill eat 3 sammichs for saturday

    12 CST = 11 EST?

  116. Awww… This is gonna rule! Only if I remember to play tons of FFR though…

  117. 12 CST = 1am EST… c’mon now.

    Ms. Vpr: then it will be equally fair for everyone.

  118. damn, even if i were to play all 24 hours (which it would be impossible to play for more than 2), i would still be outscored by better players than me :/
    whatever, ill playy FFR more than normal that day

  119. What if I’m neither male nor female?

  120. ^ What Sprite said ^

  121. i guarentee to place in this contest.

    z0mg i have no life.

  122. Im going to try to do it…..but, I am going to forget about it or something, heh, me and my short term memory lose xD

  123. COOL SOUNDS FUN…I WILL TRY TO BE THE ONE WHO PREVAILS!!!!!

  124. seriously, this is the most crazy contest ever…

    i love it

  125. sprite: then i will rip off your nose.

  126. I was gonna vie for it and try to become the next Erwilzei, but now there’s no point in doing so, as the board is going to be totally owned.

  127. well, this is one challenge I just can miss out on lol.

  128. I’m SO pumped to do this… Again…

  129. Hey this is on my Birthday. If Tass is nice he might rename it in my honor or something…..

    …lol yeah right

  130. square 130: DXY
    Posted at 5:50am on May 22nd, 2008

    I’ll be doing it for the Brits. Over here, it’ll be a 5am Saturday – 5am Sunday slog. Seems rational.

  131. im almost at the 400m :) just 25m to go :D

  132. noooooo I would totally do this but sadly I have track and field cities all day, maybe if I bring a laptop…

  133. i think there should be a seperate prize for anyone that gets over 1 billion points. maybe even a skill token?
    “Get over 1 billion points in a 24 hour period”

    maybe something else? But anyone that is able to break a bill deserves more than a t shirt and a year subbby IMO :)

  134. Tass, are there going to be new songs released? :D

  135. FINAL DESTINATION

  136. yea i think there should be something special for anyone who can actually manage to break 1 billion thats like an epic feat.
    and does erwilzei even play anymore
    you’d think he would be all over this competition
    i want to do this so bad
    but i dont know if i’ll be in a state of mind to do this after friday night, and i think i actually might be working on saturday. there is no way i can get the day off for an “FFR Gamewhore-a-thon”
    i can try though…

  137. now that i look at it
    it took me 7 months to get 1,000,000,000 points
    if someone does that in a day
    idk
    i will idolize you

  138. im gonna try to break a bil… you can expect at least 500mil though if my gf has plans

  139. hasnt got plans*

  140. my goal is 800 million i got a good plan but again needs my 24 hour focus.

  141. sorry for the double but my goal has been adjusted to 700 million in case of screwups

  142. I want a t-shirt!

  143. hahaha can you say sleeping when i get home friday and waking up 1AM to play 24 hours straight with tons of coffee??? lol this should be fun i sooo want a shirt lol

  144. Hmmm… Just checked my schedule for Saturday. All clear. The question is whether or not I feel like wasting my whole day or not. I can’t have sore hands on Sunday. I’m playing 18.

  145. i think you should block the daily stat page for this event so that noone knows who is in the lead. makes it a bit more fun imo.

  146. lol, I’m gonna be whoring say it right for this on saturday. :P Also, 12:01 AM CST to 11:59 PM CST is equal to 10:01 PM PST Friday to 9:59 PM PST Saturday?

  147. What about everyone playing for 24 hours straight? and then.. dont win anything . . epic..lose ? :[

  148. Saturday??!!! Damn, I’m going to be at a band competition and at 6 flags all day… Really wish I could be at home whoring up some FFR.. (I wouldn’t even come close to winning but it could be fun).

  149. hopefully ffr won’t go down…at all on Saturday

  150. someone plz answer my question (146). sry, i’m impatient.

  151. Also, I hope the same ting, awein.

  152. *thing

  153. to question 146 I think your right but get someone elses answer just in case

  154. All of you are going down! Im going to be on for the full 24 hours since i have no life! t shirt = mine!

  155. Gettin 1 Bill total. Hey when I win can I get a thing under my name that says FFR Superwh0re instead of a shirt? :D

  156. parents will kill me if i try 24 hr! but ill try going as long as i can!!!!

  157. that must suck. i actually told my mom about it and she said she would be sure to bring me coffee from time to time LOL!!!

  158. wow, lucky. :P i’ll try the best i can, since I’ll only have 6-7 hours or something. lol my unusual bad grammar.

  159. Get ready for your first billion ;)

  160. this sucks i was all clear to whore for the day and then i get a phone call, and now i have a job interview. I’m debating which is more important 30 hours a week job or ffr. tough decision.

  161. i’ll be posting another announcement during the day tomorrow, and will be including start-end times for different time zones, since apparently you are all retarded. and i say that with all the love in the world.

  162. ..=’(

  163. LOL.

  164. tass, having you personally castrate me, I’m sorry, but that seems more like incentive to me :P

  165. Even if you’re female.

    lmfao

  166. square 166: DXY
    Posted at 6:32am on May 23rd, 2008

    Wait, does the female castration invole Plaster of Paris?

  167. I can’t do this without internet. Or rather, would you like to calculate the grand total off of 99999999 screenshots? =)

  168. Midday: I’d rather castrate myself.

  169. Ok, after working all week; Im totally gonna waste my only free day playing FFR for 24 hours straight.

  170. its impossible to win this if ppl just whore vbrofl
