Thank you Puzzle Pirates for Grand-Master and Ultimate
Also requesting all the [heavy]s and [oni]s be taken off everything to be replaced by either nothing or v1, v2, etc. if there's multiple versions.

I wanted to just take all of PP's ranks and convert them. 9 ranks, 19 spots to fill, we could figure something out.

04- Fair
05- Very Easy
06- Easy
07- Experienced
08- Tricky
09- Heavy
10- Challenging

11- Straining
12- Demanding
13- Very Demanding
14- Insane

02- Rookie
03- Casual
04- Fair
05- Very Easy
06- Easy
07- Experienced
08- Tricky
09- Difficult
10- Very Difficult
---
11- Challenging
12- Very Challenging
13- Oni
14- For Professionals Only
15- For Masters Only
16- For Adepts Only
17- For Gurus Only
18- For Legends Only
19- For Stepmen Only
20- [null]/Impossible/___/whatever the rest say.

Mostly sticking to the tradition of wording or around FMO and over. 20 I don't really mind what it becomes. Wouldn't seem right for the For ___ Only to disappear or get rid of Masters and gurus name/title.

20- Legendary

Not much I changed around. But I'm with most people here in keeping Difficult/Very Difficult. As much as Demanding/Very Demanding makes sense, there's a sense of tradition with this. I think that's what most people are comfortable with in terms of memory and familiarity and I don't think that's something that should change.

Thank goodness this is finally happening...I've been baffled by some of the overlap in the upper-tier songs as of late (some VC's being harder than some easy FMO's, etc.). I think this is a brilliant idea regardless of how the names turn out.

I do think that if some type of rank-sounding system is used (or even if it's not), you could incorporate those ranks into profiles somehow based on one's highest AAA, 10 FC's, or however else you wanted to justify it.

So if somebody were to AAA or obtain 10 FC's on FEO (or Savant), they could be awarded the title "Expert" (or "Savant"), and so forth.

Edit: I highly approve of Subin's rank names for this purpose.

when giving difficulty names, i think it would be wise to remember that you're describing the difficulty of the song. words like, "recruit" and "captain" and such just don't make sense when saying, "Fuutsu no Uta is Captain."

20=For Dossar Only

I'd personally put Heavy between VD and C, but that may be just me.

Also I'd swap Extreme and Ridiculous.

Demanding sounds so stupid and very demanding even more so

This is another system I could get behind. Minimal amount of new terminology, gets rid of the FSO label, not too many changes to the OP's proposed nomenclature. As an Indeed member, though, I will have to insist that 18 be described by "Brutal" and "Extreme" describe 19, as that's literally the extreme of difficulty as far as serious files go.

Also +1 to whoever said that oni gets will soon be all songs from 70-75 inclusive. So much easier than referring to a more arbitrary list.

not a big fan of ranks as song difficulties.

i like these as well

Probably thought of already, but what about doing a few votes once we have lots of suggestions?: one for using heavy/light/oni, another for using "very", one for using FxO, and a final one for the final list

[omgfail]

What about a bracket-type system? It would be easier for newer players to pick up, too.

1. Beginner 1
2. Beginner 2
3. Beginner 3

4. Light 1
5. Light 2
6. Light 3

7. Normal 1
8. Normal 2
9. Normal 3

10. Heavy 1
11. Heavy 2
12. Heavy 3

13. Challenge 1
14. Challenge 2
15. Challenge 3

16. Oni 1
17. Oni 2
18. Oni 3

19. Mega-Dump
20. Giga-Dump
----------------------
21. Tera-Dump
22. Peta-Dump
23. Exa-Dump
24. Zetta-Dump

Yup. I'm not a fan of them, either.

Indeed this was the hardest part in brainstorming for newer terminology while trying to keep the acronyms unique, haha.
