    That's actually what I brought up specifically some months back. (Dividing Canada up into more regions.) I'll ask about it again and see if I get a different response regarding the coding.

      Re: FFR Suggestions

      I was thinking something along the lines of:

      West: BC

      Prairies: AB, SK, MB

      East: ON, QC

      Atlantic: NB, NS, PE, NL

      North: YT, NT, NU

      That's how the provinces are usually grouped in general.

          This is actually exactly what I was thinking. Most often this is how it's grouped, unless it's that "Canadian Shield" crap, but that doesn't really apply here.

            I'd rather go by provincial lines than topographical lines, IMO. :monkey:

              Would you want to use the groupings by region or division? Because, while the regions make sense, the divisions don't because of how they break apart the country for the regions. Plus, if the coding is bad, my sorting kept the same amount of regions within the country (8).

              I really just don't like how that map is set up. If you could clarify it then maybe I would like it more :l

                It would only be by regions and no new ones would have to be created for the United States if we went by that official map. (We currently have nine regions for the United States and that official map has nine as well, it's just divided more accurately than what we currently have.) We'd just have to alter the names and change how they are marked on the map.

                  Ideally the regions overall should be as close to equal in population as possible.

                  Half the problem with existing regions is that it's really annoying to try and force sort people by IP address, and easy for them to get around it, and people are misfiling themselves to get into a category where it's easier to appear on the toplist.

                    Just a question, but I see that we have a lot of Chopin in FFR right now. Examples being Revolutionary Etude (Op. 10 No 12), Op.10 No 9, and so on. He composed a lot of music, Op.10 having many different parts. Do you think it would be a good idea to step more of his music, regardless of difficulty? Or should people just step the "difficult" pieces?

                      People (including you!) can step whatever they like - it's not like there's a group that decides what songs get stepped. If you think a piece is interesting or should be in the game, I'd suggest stepping it yourself, or else getting someone good to make a chart.

                        Actually having more classical pieces is good but the most difficult thing is getting permission from performers. As for digital performance of classical songs it's easier to get permission/easier to sync, but harder to find good performances.

                          after playing a song.. besides showing your rank, and best rank on a song.. it would be nice to show your best score too. (6-0-0-0) <- example.

                            I've actually thought a lot about how it would be nice to have a new score results screen, but never actually put any effort into making a suggestion for what that would look like. Graphs of how much you sucked up a part or two are always fun to rage at.

                              would it be possible for it to make the graph like in ITG2? (i think)
                              and have the results down the middle with your current run on the left, and you best run stats on the right.
