    Maspon-con

    No FFRMas challenges this year? It can't be! I also have a bunch of credits lying around, so I'm opening my first spon-con ever. It won't be daily challenges like previous years though.

    Spreadsheet

    How to Enter

    Currently, there are 22 public and purchased songs with "mas" in their titles:

    Massive (FFR Edit)
    Love Coloured Master Spark (LUV2 Remix)
    Monster Mash
    A Christmas Carol
    Master Maid
    We Wish You A Merry XMas (Jazzy Groove Mix)
    Smash Podcast
    Tamashii
    Where Are You Christmas
    MASCARADA
    Kirby Smash
    Full Mast
    ElectroMashcore
    Christmas Ain't The Same
    Masterpiece
    Sutekina Hakaba de Kurashimashou [Alternative Ver.]
    Smash and Burn
    Scarlet Mask
    Masterplan
    Masodik Galamb
    Fluff Master
    Making Christmas
    (Warriors (OT MASHUP MIX) was excluded due to being a tournament token.)

    To join the spon-con, pass at least one of them at any rate and mod (but no isolation) and post your screenshots here. You'll get 2,022 credits for joining. You can play multiple songs, but you'll still get 2,022 credits.

    But Wait, There's More!

    For each song, among all people who submit their scores to it, one of them will be picked randomly and given 12,250 credits. You can get up to 269,500 credits if you play all 22 songs and get really lucky!

    There's Even More!!

    Now for the challenge part.

    You can designate one of your scores as your "challenge submission", and use it for one of the following challenges. You can change your challenge submission and your choice of challenge at any time.

    Tiebreaker will be raw score, higher is better. If that still results in a tie, first come first served.

    Challenge 1: Perfect Balance

    Get both your amazing count and your perfect count to as close to 1,000 as possible.

    Your score for this challenge is abs(amazing-1000) + abs(perfect-1000), lower is better.

    Top 3 submissions will get 22,222 credits, 12,250 credits, and 5,013 credits, respectively. Any other submissions with score 500 or below will get 1,000 credits each.

    Challenge 2: 2

    Make a lot of 2's in your result screen. To prevent something like 2.222222222x rate on scroll speed 2.2222222222, only the following portions of your screenshot will count:




    I played on upscroll just to make this screenshot.


    Your score for this challenge is the number of digits 2, more is better. The score for the example above is 13 if I counted correctly.

    Top 3 submissions will get 22,222 credits, 12,222 credits, and 5,222 credits, respectively. Any other submissions with score 15 or above will get 1,022 credits each.

    Challenge 3: Not Two

    The opposite of challenge two: DON'T make too many two's in your result screen. Only particular portions of your screenshot will count (see above).

    Your score for this challenge is the number of digits two, fewer is better.

    Top 3 submissions will get 19,999 credits, 13,000 credits, and 5,013 credits, respectively. Any other submissions with score 9 or below will get 1,000 credits each.

    Challenge 4: Late Halloween Party

    Get as many boos as possible.

    And yes, you are allowed to play Masterplan on 0.1x rate and reach the theoretically best score (including your raw score!). You probably deserve a prize if you actually did that.

    Your score for this challenge is the number of boos, more is better.

    Top 3 submissions will get 22,222 credits, 12,250 credits, and 5,013 credits, respectively. Any other submissions with score 500 or above will get 1,000 credits each.

    Challenge 5: Obligatory Venetian Snares

    Get your raw goods to as close to X as possible.

    The catch is: I don't know the value of X yet. After the deadline of this event, I will play Masodik Galamb and Fluff Master in a row on 1.3x rate, then X will be set to the amount of raw goods I got in total. Note that you don't necessarily have to play either of them.

    Your score for this challenge is abs(raw goods - X), lower is better.

    Top 3 submissions will get 22,222 credits, 12,250 credits, and 5,013 credits, respectively. Any other submissions will get X credits each (rounded up to an integer).

    That's It!

    To reiterate: you can only apply for one challenge at a time, but you can change your challenge at any time. And of course, the song must be one of the 22 listed above.

    I got 500,000 credits support from the events team, so if I don't get to spend all of them then I'll multiply all the rewards by some amount.

    Since it started a little late, the spon-con will end at December 31st 11:59:59PM server time. Good luck and merry FFRMas!

    Re: Maspon-con

    Looks like this one dodged the Events Team for approval. Just saw it so I approved it. Sorry about that, jh. I'll sticky the thread and put it under the latest events category on the front page so it gets noticed quicker.

                      Spreadsheet made & updated up to here, except for @PBR420, whose screenshot was unfortunately deleted. You can submit again though!

                      Also it seems challenge 2 was too hard and 3 was too easy, so I'll adjust the conditions for base credits to 15 and 9 respectively. Both 1M0's submission (challenge 2 with score 16) and du67ty's (challenge 3 with score 6) are safe.

                        Re: Maspon-con

                        This is for challenge 3, this should be a score of 0. There was no rule about rates explicitly said, so I checked and this would be rank 1 out of 37630 on rate 1



                        EDIT: I did it on Rate 1x just in case you decide that ratemod scores don't count. Still challenge 3, score of 7.

                          Rate scores do count! But hopefully jh will confirm that too

                            MFW I thought raw score = raw good count. Consider me spooked. But hey, I thought this was more fun.

                            Why tf did I do this again?



                            EDIT: Here's all the other songs too

                              Re: Maspon-con

                              Spreadsheet updated up to here.

                              Yes, rates are allowed.

                              And since this was asked in Discord: you can submit multiple songs outside of challenges just like MarcusHawkins did. That will be helpful in getting more credits from random draws.

                              A hint for challenge 5:


                              I just had an FFR session and got those scores:



                              A classic.



                              IMO Cobra Commander isn't an 89. It should be 92 or something.



                              Okay, a 92 on 1.3x is too much for me. Let's try 1.2x.



                              That's better.
