Exit button

there needs to be some way to quit out of a song other than just holding down an arrow to fail intentionally. i say this due to the fact that our phone rings constantly and i'm always having to run and answer it. also, i think i saw a post by Synth saying he may change the ranking system over to score/games played or something like that. if that became the case, my rank would drop drastically, because i HAVE to answer the phone (or else my parents yell at me).

so, i think there should be a keyboard command to make the song end and return u to the main menu without increasing or lowering your score. what do you guys think?

Well, as long as you don't retain any points or credits, i dont see a problem. I vote YEA!

Though there may be an issue of abuse when it comes to challenges =/

Now, a PAUSE feature (where the screen goes black) might be a better idea then...

There's a REALLY easy way to stop in the middle of the song. I use it all the time, which is why I don't have that many "Games Played". I probably would have about 700 more if I failed intentionally on those songs.

Yeah, Kilga. I like that too.

Yes, i'd agree with a pause command because i get a lot of IMs while talking, or something i got to go run errands.

Or hit Backspace or hit Back.

I just F5 because I usually want to play again. Refresh will bring FFR back up right away.

Well then, I've got a genius idea that I wouldn't think would be too hard for Synth to program. Make the Esc key function as a refresh (ie make the comp think you hit F5 if you hit Esc)

I said Esc because SM has a cancel thing involving holding Esc.
