    The NPMGP (acronym explanation within)

    The Non-Power Metal Guitar Pack
    UPDATED: July 2nd, 10:21pm EST
    THIS POST WILL BE EDITED AS PROGRESS IS MADE

    That's right, folks. an FFR noob is making a keyboard pack for your enjoyment. The VGMP is out, I have alot of free time on my hands, and would love to make a pack that I think everyone can enjoy.

    The idea is simply to create a FUN keyboard pack comprised of "good" songs. I'm tired of ****ing power metal, and I don't think I'm the only one. I'd love to play a WELL MADE Protest the Hero song, or a decent AC/DC tune. something that makes me go "**** YEAH!" when I'm playing it.

    DETAILS:
    I will be the overall judge. I will look for technicality, difficulty and above all, fun. if you really want to submit another file like Reality, Disregard, MSWGO etc, please include a 12 or, at most, 13 foot heavy option.

    FOR PEOPLE WHO INTEND TO MAKE ORIGINAL STEPFILES FOR THIS PACK
    I will also judge based on the song. yes, if I honestly think the song is a peice of garbage and has no place in my pack, I will reject it, regardless of how well stepped it is. therefore, to save us all a ****load of time, PM me the title of the song, and if need be, I may request the mp3. if the song is already stepped, sending the whole thing is fine.

    I will only accept submissions from the original simfile artists, and I will only accept unreleased stepfiles.

    thanks again to everyone who offered to help.
    judges, please give me your AIM and/or MSN to communicate, and post below.

    GRAPHICS:
    accepting all submissions for a sig banner via pm. something to promote the **** of out this thing. that's all I'm really worried about at this point, seeing as I don't even have a sim submission yet. but if you're interested in doing graphics, let me know.

    as a side note, I will actually be attempting to make one or two simfiles to add myself, provided they pass the judgments of the other judges.

    and that's it. I'll add more as I think of it.

    DISCUSS!

    I'm not liking the fact that released sims can be put in the pack. There also seems to be a lot of metal sims out there.

    However, if this is done well and people participate, this could turn out good.
    YOU JUST WON THE GAME! CONGRATULATIONS!

        if this pack has to be done in a decent way you must specify rules and terms. you didn't said anything about graphics, and for metal sims gfx is a cronic problem. also, you asked for hard steps, but didn't specified. the other problem of metal sims is that they often are very boring and/or bull**** made. finally i am saying this is a good idea only if it is organized in good way.

        oh yes, i don't like the fact you will reject songs you don't like.

            I might contribute a Pearl Jam song to this. I think I have a few that sound like they're steppable.

                Lurk, I got a song for you to step.

                as for the rest, this isn't a metal pack. not at all. the name is a joke at all the power metal songs released. will there be metal in it? sure, maybe a few songs, but this is a GUITAR pack. some mexican acoustic music would make an excellent contribution. if it's got guitars and good steps, it's got a shot.

                as for rejecting songs I don't like, it's not just pure taste. you can tell from listening to a song if it's going to make a good simfile. that's all I mean by that. Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy would barely make a good simfile. that's all.

                and graphics... I wasn't worrying about that part yet, considering I know several people who are good with graphics, and I wanted to leave it open for people to be like "yo! I'll do graphics!". when it comes to graphics, the more the merrier.

                  J-Rock accepted? If so, I'm most likely in. I've been looking for an excuse to sim some rock songs.

                  BUT- If you don't care for j-rock, then I'll probably sim some pink floyd or ac/dc anyways, since I've been looking for an excuse to sim something for those bands too, LOL

                      J-Rock = Japanese rock. If you hear a rock song for the theme of some anime, it's most likely done by a J-Rock band.

                      I had Phantasmagoria in mind, if you wanted a particular band.
