StepMania Fun Facts

[Gundam-Dude]

idk I just had this idea for a thread where people could share some not very well known things about anything and everything SM related. basically a whole "did you know?" concept, which could lead to some amusing stories.

· There was originally a Dark Chancellors Pack 2 started but it died due to inactivity and having ridiculous quality control. The files in the pack were then merged with a failed FFR Community Pack 3 started and lead by Puppet and NPV, which also met the same demise for the exact same reasons as DCP2. About half the files were picked up and then merged with Xoon 5, the latter half either being released in other packs or eternally lost in the abyss.

· Xoon 4 was originally going to be one massive pack before Kommisar got the idea to split the pack into the respective Red and Blue versions.

· In the pack, Xoon 5, the wrong version of Magun was released due to Rebirth not knowing that Kil posted an updated chart for it. The V2 edit of the file included a few pattern changes and an actual layered ending as opposed to the released version which ends abruptly.

· Light Chancellors Pack 1 was created when Rebirth scrapped and rejected already accepted or borderline accepted files for Xoon 5. LCP1 is essentially a Xoon 5 rejects pack compiled with newer submitted files.

· Light Chancellors Pack 1 and 2 involved a panel of judges, meanwhile the 3rd and final installment was run solely by me. The sudden shift was due to countless pack delays caused by inactive judges and little work being done to progress LCP3. After doing all the administrative/organizational work and judging independently, I stuck with the concept for the FFR Season packs.

· The joke version of Light Chancellors Pack 3 that Kommisar released was compiled together last minute the day before April 1, 2011. Even though I was organizing everything to do with the real pack, I had absolutely no idea what files he was going to use in the joke release, lol.

· For the Xiao Solo Beginner Pack series, Xiao was originally going to release a total of 6 packs, each of them having a certain gimmick to the charts. If you noticed, the charts in XSBP3 are very chord-focused, and this is due to the fact that the subsequent packs were going to be hold-focused, stream-focused, and lastly all three in combination respectively. This idea was scrapped due to lack of motivation and laziness, making XSBP3 the final release in the series.

· Xiao released the pack, BCMP AIDS, with the thread title, "[6k] Xiao Solo Beginner Pack IV".

will post more as I remember them later. gotta head out soon pce
