a yes for HOLDS and MINES in my votes

HOLDS: they add another dimension to simfiles, and if used well, can add legitimate challenge, interest, and fun to the game. It can be abused just like any other technique, however. Judging would have to take this into account.

MINES: once again, they add another dimension to simfiles, but use with discretion - just like anything right? However, if there is one doubt I have about this, it's how it would affect scoring. I'm certainly fine without mines if it's too difficult to implement. However, if possible, mines should be fun with careful and limited usage.


ACC: Marv/Perf/Good/Avg/Miss/Boo
It doesn't hurt to show another degree of accuracy towards your playing. However, AAAs are still obtained in the same way: get all perfects and/or marvs, just like stepmania. I'm not sure if AAAAs should exist on FFR though. If so, it shouldn't be host to a bunch of achievements/tokens that may be near impossible to get for most people (unless it's an easy song).

DIFF: Multiple Difficulty per Song (On one menu)
I'd like to stress that this should be variable and optional, but ultimately preferable. Multiple difficulties are better, but some songs just won't produce more than one good chart, nor should simfilers be forced to make multiple charts if they don't want to. If all songs had multiple difficulties, it make AAAing/FCing songs on FFR more of a bore.

ARR: 4 or 6 arrows on some songs
I've talked many people into playing solo (6 arrow) files, and many of them are just extremely meek about it. I think one way to encourage playing this very fun alternative is to introduce them into FFR. And once again, it adds another dimension to the game. Just like multiple difficulties, whether a song has a solo variation (or solo only?*) should be limited. Either that, or count solo as a completely separate entity. Otherwise, it's another AAA/FC bore. I don't think people should be concerned about KBO and such. There shouldn't be one site that "owns"/"dominates" solo and another that "owns"/"dominates" 4-keys. I think it would be an appreciable addition, and outweighs whatever exclusivity you may feel towards the site...so what if KBO is mostly solo-oriented? FFR should be welcome to make solo files as well. It wouldn't dilute the "special touch" that is FFR.
*should all songs have traditional 4-arrow files with some having solo files, or should some songs be exclusively solo? I have a feeling people will side with the former.

MULT: 2 or MORE Player Multiplayer
The more the better - IF it's within reason in regards to bandwith, and how much the simultaneous plays affect the game (e.g. lag).
