Giving stepfile creators the token for their song?

Ultimaeblah · 07-23-2007, 03:25 AM

I'm not in this situation myself or anything, but it struck me as kind of odd that the people who made the simfile couldn't play it on FFR without first unlocking the token. Take ViennaCore for example. http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=73795

Would it be fair to give the stepfile maker the token for their song if they requested it? Oh, and support your position.

No it wouldn't be fair.

**brothaice** · 07-23-2007, 03:43 AM

They can play it on SM.

SulferDragon · 07-23-2007, 03:53 AM

Yes, it would. They're the ones who worked their ass off making the file.

Actually, no, instead of that. They should take into consideration the skill of the sim author who made the file before choosing the requirement. People like ElectricWerewolf, for example, are good players, and getting a 600 combo on Piano Etude is cake. However, poor people like Scytlock, and eastsideman09 can't even unlock there own sims that they worked hard to get into the game! And they may never be able to! I know both of them, so I know what it's like.

If it happened to me, or any of you, me/we would be VERY upset!

I can't unlock Zephon.

lol, I said examples.

Also, if the author doesn't care, then it really doesn't matter. Like, I'm sure hi19 could care less about having Otaku Speedvibe [Oni].

chunky_cheese · 07-23-2007, 04:12 AM

Synthlight has tools in his workshop to make him care.

**jimerax** · 07-23-2007, 05:46 AM

It's ok but it needs additional admin's work.

I don't care much about it though.

I already am upset - I know it's probably really easy for you lot but I just CAN'T fc R3 to get (my song) All of the World!

**Coolboyrulez0** · 07-23-2007, 06:04 AM

I would think its fair to give the simfile author the (skill)token.
They worked hard on it and want to see how it plays in the game not on SM.

Smok3y · 07-23-2007, 09:26 AM

What about rather than giving them simply giving them the token, give them the ability to play the song, but not have the token show up on their profile unless he/she unlocked it? That seems most fair to me.

brb mashing silence

edit: got it ecksdee

**Xiaounlimited** · 07-23-2007, 10:03 AM

If I got a simfile accepted into FFR and I couldn't get it, I wouldn't care. I'd just be really happy that I finally got the Simfile Author title under my name.

What does it matter anyway? As said above, they have the .SM (or DWI if you play with that POS) to play with. Only reason you would really want it is if you really, really wanted something to show off. Pride is an interesting thing.

**Neonatrias** · 07-23-2007, 10:32 AM

I'd think if people were bothered over the fact that they couldn't unlock their own stepchart, they would take it up with an admin directly.

Thankfully I haven't had anything ridiculous to unlock any of mine yet. =)

**Tasselfoot** · 07-23-2007, 12:16 PM

every issue related to this that has been brought to me directly has been handled to the proper satisfaction of all parties.

vague enough for y'all?

ive sent in alot more that i think are much better than ViennaCore, and im looking forward to seeing the more recent ones in the game, but the wait to get them put into the game is what REALLY sucks....

i also think itd be cool if the simauthor could throw in a bid for a possible req to unlock the skill token (if its not gonna be public or w/e...)

like yesterday, i sent in Duality by KaW vs Smiley vs Inspector K
i think thatd be a nice skill token (if it gets accepted), making the req something like FC Take Me Back, then FC Destiny, then FC Tension, sequentially..... or something

I would be tramatized if my song got in the game and I couldn't earn it.

**Silver_Brian** · 07-23-2007, 03:24 PM

It'd be nice to see it in-game, but you can still play it in SM.

**dore** · 07-23-2007, 04:11 PM

I think regular tokens should be given if the author wants it, I still have no idea how to get Fall lol (not like I've tried too hard).

Skill tokens I think the author should at least give an attempt, but if they don't have the skill then it should be given to them.

Either way I think it really should be the stepauthor's choice, they made the file, if they want to go through with the normal reqs they should have that option, if they don't then they should have the option of getting it for free.
