FFR's Top One Handers

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Okay, suggestion.. How about we throw another Tourney Bynary
I'll help with donations and crap. If you need someone to help you Update and that such I'll keep hold of that to. I'd really love another one so i can redeem myself from last time.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

The problem isn't just one-handers being inactive: the whole site is less active than it used to be. 1,601 users currently using FFR is pretty sad. Actually, I think this thread is doing very well, and better than most. I see some newer players really shooting for av rank under 5000 and I see more siggies with 'one-handed and proud' or 'staying one-handed.' I think people are more interested right now, proportionately, in playing one-handed than in playing FFR in general.

Let me say WELCOME to those not quite on the list of the elite 20 and congrats to those who've earned tokens or tier points or other bounties listed in this thread. Maybe we should have a list of aspiring one-handers here, so it can be more expansive. Just because you're not awesome yet doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to join the social club of serious one-handers. Alternatively we could start a one-handers club thread, but I think it makes more sense to keep it here, as the community is already partially formed. Of course, this may be burdensome for Bynary, but at least it wouldn't need to be updated with av ranks.

Let's have a One-Handed party in FFR chat. If anyone's interested, I'll bake cookies. If you are nice I will give you one.

Is anyone else shooting for one-handed tier points right now? I'm working on Tier 1, but I think I'm only at 90 or so still. Of course I haven't counted in a bit. It's really tough. Of course I have three other goals that are a bit more pressing right now, but I wanted to see if other people were plugging away at this.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

I dunno...as awesome as it is to see spread players try out one handed sexiness, there aren't enough players in the intermediate and advanced divisions. Sure, we have only a few pro one handers on the whole site and tons of beginners, I want to see more people of an intermediate level, something I can't seem to find. If you or anybody else knows a bunch of people at these levels, I'll consider making another tourney (however, I was waiting for Zaggy to start his).

P.S I have just over 139,000 credits, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Well here's the thing: the very beginning of your one handed career is the most sensitive - the majority of one handers switch at this point in time. However, I'd also like to point out that a bunch of people who have found this thread gain the motivation to stay, which leads me to my next point...

...On one hand I don't see much point in this - hundreds of new one handers join every day, and almost all of them either either leave or switch. But on the other hand, this can provide great motivation to those who are dedicated to saying and have made their introduction, etc. Interesting idea.

That reminds me: Card Man and me have Ventrilo, where you can hold private chat sessions with your friends and chat via microphones. Far superior to FFR Chat IMO, and there won't be any noobs to spam it up or tell us to switch out of jealousy.

Perhaps that would be a more viable option?

I know I've hit T2 a long time ago - I haven't calculated my TPs in some time, but I'm pretty sure it's the high 200s, nearing 300 even. If I see others working on it, I would certainly start to do so myself.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

just to expand on redskys idea, why dont we change the list to top 50? or if not, make the list include EVERY 1 hander with an average rank of under 5000, THAT POSTS ON THIS THREAD!

cause yeah, if theres a one hander with an av rank of under 5k that posts on this thread knows about BOTH hands...and has obviously decided to be one handed if they post to be put on the list

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Alright I know I'm not exactly "popular" or important in any means so whatever. But I got an idea to help Bynary. Anyone's opinion matters anyways right? So here it goes.

Have you heard of something called skype? In my opinion it's much better. Because you don't have to pay for it. I know about vent I used it a lot. Cost to get it up and running, then depending on the state your in (I beleive) it costs to keep it per month. The beeping of when someone holds down the designed key for talking comes annoying at times. Especially if its constant and the user does not wish to keep it held down.

Skype on the other hand is a mainly audio chat. It's not really meant for IM's such as yahoo, or msn, or heaven forbid ICQ . Mainly used for calls. Which can last for....well till forever if you want. Completely free. And used for conference calls. Meaning calling more then 1 person at a time. Again like vent, again absolutely free, again for forever. Kills the stupid beeping since its always active. Adding whoever you want kills the idea of Just saying, bringing the idea up.
Yea for sure. I completely noticed that how you can distinctively tell who plays one handed and who doesn't. That's why I wanted to add it also in my sig. I played one handed since i started. I never changed...I really don't want to. For reasons I already explained in my intro post/thread. Once I hit 5000 or under thats definitely what I'm shooting for. Especially those one handed tokens users came up with. Love the idea. And gives me more fun and enjoyabliity (if thats even a word o_O)

Thanks for the welcome. I already found my place in here =P

I like the idea of a list. Kills Bynary though, his life, and I doubt he would wanna sit down and really record and update this 24/7. Always paying attention to members and there tier points, list of every single one hander etc. I'd help if he wants. Just for recording data when I have free time myself. Less burden for him/her

Again I love this idea. For sure people already made this thread the "one-handers club" but you cant keep this active it's a thread. Takes time to type a post...post it...wait for a reply...post back....maybe provide a s/s etc.... better off just doing it actively. Especially since you cant do ddr and post at the same time its impossible.

Kew~kies~ *drool* Accepting some bribes? . jk =P

Never went on ffr chat yet, might later depends. Browser chats don't tend to do it for me. If that even makes sense..at least I knew what I meant...aw forget it. Like the offer though.

Good luck with your goals. I havent even bothered those yet since my av rank so too high atm. Working on just records and tokens...that I just found out yesterday how to figure out each token and how to accomplish it. -_-" Had a nub moment >_> My overall rank is decreasing which is good obviously.

Lol not exactly. My friend steve (dude that showed me this game) Been playing one handed for years. Last year switched to two hands because he never even thought of the idea of using two hands. Now that's all he plays. If he was ever on FFR probably hit well below 5k before he changed over to two hands.

I'm using that as an example also. But I like the idea of top 50. More motivation and incentative to actually go for it being in that list.

Good luck with you to.

Some of you one handers I don't get at all. It's completely insane. Like yours for example. AAA on Games we have played Part 4? One handed? I have NO timing whatsoever. Always goes perfect till like 20 then always a random good....then more perfects. then a good. then maybe an average somewhere in the mix for no apperent reason. I can never perfect it. No way do I even know HOW to teach myself perfect timing. Guess its just practice but I don't know... Never for the life of me can I AAA i swear >_>

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Just to let you know; there is a way to turn off the beeping you call "annoying" in ventrilo. Ventrilo is free because I have a real server running until May. It is 24/7 and isn't used for much. I guess we can use it. Here is the info if anyone is interested....IP/Hostname: v9.hostventrilo.com Port #: 7847 Once again, I aimed to make my ventrilo public for all of FFR but that never worked out. Random people came in and I never saw them again. Then I deleted the post because nobody used it. If one-handers need a home; it is here until May. I am in it all the time so; that is about it I guess.

I also agree with expanding the list but of course that comes with work and I do not know who is up for that. I have been getting some TP's. I have alittle over 100 I believe. Anyway, I do what I can and I am here.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

good points aero...in response to my thing...i like the top 50 idea better too...i just reckon he should scrap the thing just befoer the list that says you need to be under rank 5000 to be on the list...or to knock off number 30...and seeing as number 30 is just under 4000...i find that 'need to be under rank 5000' is pointless...so bynary...get rid of it lol...


brb chaging my siggy to include one-hand in it lol, it kinda sucks atm

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Is advanced Challenging - Very challenging ? If so , I'm advanced . I
assume pro is master -guru .

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Dave&Wave, why can't I view your FFR profile at all? It just takes me to the profile screen to search someone....

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

When you get to the search screen , have you tried typing in my name there . ( My profile name is Dave&Wave .)

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Yes, when I do that; it says no results. I swear I am typing it in correctly. Perhaps your profile is on private? But why can't you exist then.....log out and try finding your own profile using the search....

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

No. I limited it to the top 30 for a reason - there is supposed to be motivation to get on the list, and more importantly, a reason to stay on it. Otherwise, it just becomes a list of every one hander that pays attention to this thread.

Of course I've heard of it. I've never used it though - in fact, you're the first guy I've seen on FFR mention it. Really, I suppose either would be fine, but if everybody keeps picking one or the other, it'll just make things unnecessarily complicated.

P.S I've never noticed the beep.

Glad to hear you're staying.

I felt the tokens would be an added incentive - and it appears that it works. More can always be added, mind you. If you'd like to add one, supply me with a graphic, the name of the token, and the req. Unless it's something outrageous, I'll approve and add it.

Perhaps, if it isn't too much work, I could add a ranking list for tokens...


Thanks for offering to help. In truth, it doesn't really take any of my time - the ranking list only takes about an hour to update, the tier list about the same. However, if you wish to help sometime, I won't stop you. Perhaps, even, it would enable me to make more regular updates (Card Man).

There are additional things I've had planned for ages, but I never got around to them, since this thread died off several months ago. Since it appears to have staged a revival, if it holds up, I might go through with it.


People don't have to post every second. But if a forum isn't the way to communicate, what would be? Personally, I feel this thread is the hub for most one handed activity, and as such, any one handed club we made could easily be maintained here.


Keep at it - you'll keep seeing improvements the more you play. And it's always good to set goals - it gives you something to strive for. For example, my goal is to break the sitewide record of 380 AAAs - that's what enables me to get so many in spite of how many tries it often takes. If you set a goal, you'll find it so much easier to concentrate on improving and staying on track.

Exactly why I will never make the list accessible to all - you have to work your way into the list.



rawr. That AAA, while my best, took a ****load of practice to be able to attain, to be honest. Coupled with the fact that I have Vista, no sense of rhythm, and a spastic (figuratively) hand, it took months of practice and diligent playing to build up the accuracy and rhythm needed. Don't worry, you will in time.

It's the & in his name - it messes up the link to his profile.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Isn't there some way for him to view my profile ? If the & sign hinders you from all these things such as Links , Multi-player , chat , then why do they even let you use that in you name !

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

guys this is just a random thing i was wondering...when i do one-handed i use my thumb, left index and middle finger...am i the only one who does that? cause i know almost every other 1 hander uses the 3 middle fingers...anyone else here use their thumb as well?

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

The top 30 isn't very accurate though. Am I still even on that list? Yet I'm technically the 3rd best one hander (three fingers) on this site. Last I did an evaluation mind you.

I'm probably not that good anymore.

It's official I wont be holding a tourney any time soon. School work is dominating, along with other websites, so I will not have the motivation required.

Sorry guys. ^^

Perhaps if I hosted it over Christmas break and had 3 day rounds I could manage...
