-----EDIT-----
So Indy was the only guesser, unfortunately, the number was 21. I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of participation, but what can you do... Until next time, if there is one...

---------------------------
Ok, so I thought up this contest on my drive up to Scranton, PA...
The contest: I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100 (including 1 and 100). Take a guess at it. You're eligible for your next guess after 2 people make their guesses. (for instance, player a makes a guess, then has to wait for player b and c to make their guesses before he/she can make a 2nd guess). We'll play until Sunday night @ 10:00 PM (if it goes that long).
Reward: It's a variable reward! I'll throw in +200 credits/guess. So if it takes 12 guesses till someone gets it right, that's 2400 credits.
Please note, I'm doing an indy fed tour this long weekend. I can only check this stuff at the hotel rooms, where i have wireless access. That basically means checking 4 hours before show time, or 3 hrs after. My schedule is as follows (Scranton PA, Thursday 9:30 PM.. Wilkes-Barre PA, Friday 8:00 PM... Phillipsburg NJ, Saturday 3:00 PM... Allentown PA, Saturday, 9 PM... York PA, Sunday, 3 PM) If anyone's interested in going to one of those things, PM me with which location you want and I'll make sure to reserve some free tickets for you. Maybe have an FFR section, that'd be cool :P
Anywho, start guessing those numbers!

-EDIT-
Contest is over. The only participant was indigo23, and she managed to win 1100 credits! I would like to see more participation in the future though
----------------------
Another credit contest already? Of course :D With this one, everyone can win, either with luck, or a little bit of knowledge.
The contest: A quiz will be provided to you about me. I erased the vital parts of my profile so you can't be a cheater. Answer all the questions that you can! When the deadline hits, I'll post everyone's score :P Answer right here in the random thought thread as a reply :)
Deadline: 11:59 PM EST, Sunday, June 15th.
Bonus: If you score a perfect on this test, I'll send an additional +2500 credits. Wow!
The reward: +250 credits per correct answer, -100 credits per wrong answer, -200 for every 3 questions left blank. You may leave up to 2 questions empty, but after that, you're done. Some questions have multiple answers, and it'll tell you if there is one answer, or more than one. (Basically, if there's multiple answers, and you have 3 written down[1 right, 2 wrong] you'll get +50 creds. If there are 3 possible answers and you only write one, it won't count as a blank.)
----------QUIZ----------
1) How old am I?
2) (multiple answers [2])What are my two main jobs that I am currently working?
3) How tall am I(x feet, x inches)?
4) (multiple answers [3]What "sports" have I actually played in over the course of my life?
5) Am I single, or dating someone?
6) (multiple answers [2])What professional sports teams are my favorites?
Ok all, have at it!

Credit Contest #1!Posted on: June 9, 2008, at 12:21:26am [

So, if you read my below post, you've realized I've moved into my new place. Good stuff indeed. Most times, people give housewarming gifts to a newbie, but today, I'm going to give out a gift! Nothing tangible, nothing big... Here's the contest.
Reward - 2500 Credits
To enter: It's real easy. Vote thumbs up on my profile - you're in. To make it fair for people who've already voted for me, reply to this thought with something clever (or not so clever, i.e, "i want in!"). Each thumbs up vote will be assigned a number, and will be entered into a random number generator. Oh, and to make sure there are no multis - though I couldn't imagine why you'd make one for a small prize - each contestant must have 25,000,000 points. Deadline is Monday, June 9th, 11:00 EST.
Reason for contest: I wanna be a vote whore for the day.
Happy voting!

------EDIT------
Contest is over, the winner is... Indigo23! Congratulations, and thanks everyone who participated, look for more random contests in the very near future.

So, even as I'm writing this thought, my mom or dad comes in, either asking a question, or bugging me about something, anything... Came home from college, and i've had 3 weeks of getting to do nothing, and I've enjoyed it, less the fact I didn't get too much practice here.. It's because they decide they need to come in my room every 8 seconds (exaggeration), to clue me in on all the drivel in the day. -sigh-
Luck is on my side though, because on June 8th, I get to move into my new place! 4 bedroom house, with 3 of my friends, good stuff. No interruptions, do as I please... So what would I like to see happen with me at FFR? By the end of June..
-Average Rank of 3000 or better
-175 FCs
-15 AAAs
-Average score/game - 400,000
By the end of July
-Average Rank of 2500
-250 FCs
-20 AAAs
And by the end of summer?
-Average Rank of 2000
-350 FCs
-40 AAAs
-Average score/game - 500,000
Keeping these as notes for myself too. Until I move (tomorrow)...
-Cheers!

Five years...Posted on: May 6, 2008, at 02:18:52pm [

Well, I've been here for 5 years now. This user name seems to be older than a lot of admins/mods even. Things from the past that will be forever nostalgic to me include:
- A wide variety of 20 some songs. All blue arrows, no speed mods, or mods of any type, mostly offbeat, with no multiplayer.
-The old timing system, where an AAA on a )))) song was an accomplishment.
-Forums were primary community, since this was in the time period where broadband was just starting to be commonplace, so chat was restricted to 30 people only.
-Being on FFR radio when it mattered, and having everyone kiss up in chat in hopes I'd mention their name.
-Watching Arch0wl absolutely engulf noobs in flame.
-Jimerax's reign @ #1.
-The utterly suspenseful buildup to R2.
These are only a few examples, but there are a lot of good memories from FFR over the years. And crap, I'm old.
Here's to 5 years of living a sheltered life apparently! :)

I don't think I would be able to pull off getting a 2.2 even if I tried! O.O
I'm pretty confident about it now that I've had a few classes and met my teachers :)
They're all incredibly nice and my peers are as motivated as I am!
I'm soooo pumped and ready to tackle all of my classes with a positive attitude and 100% effort.
Thanks for the advice, though! I'll definitely be sure to start off on the right foot.

I'm starting my first college class today :o
I'm really excited/nervous, and my mom just took the car while I was in the shower, so I might not even get to go D:
ughh now i'm really nervous..
anyway, i hope you do graduate on time!
and you have gotten better; keep it up :)
at 2:52:39am on 9/2/08
You pwn. Have you gotten any better?
at 2:30:44pm on 8/25/08
My 3.45 years is nothing compared to your 5 though.

So I'm not really sure whether or not it would be beneficial for you to switch. It all depends on whether or not you're still improving. If you think you'll be able to get a lot better with just one hand (like there are people who have AAAd almost all the songs with one hand) then stick with it! But I just find it much easier with two. If I were you, I'd at least try learning to play with two hands, and then decide from there which one I was more comfortable with ;]
