How I Got Permission From SnappleMan
------------------------------------
1) PM'd him on OCRemix.
2) Got permission.
3) Pumped fists, shouting 'Hell Yeah!' (optional, but strongly recommended).
4) Put the evidence in this folder.

The Graphics
------------
A very lazy, 10-minute job in Photoshop CS2. The background has various forms of a red-black striped gradient with Screen. Also, the battery was made by two rectangles with the 'paper-clip' original filter coloured silver. The banner has a different background, but still the same gradient is used. I've put in lots of black lines towards the bottom. Very So Deep.

The Steps
---------

S-B-3 : I've tried to exploit the fact that all of KONAMI's Beginner steps over 250 BPM are at least a 3'. So, these steps actually feel like a 3', not just that difficulty because of the speed.

S-L-4 : Would you believe it? There's Chaos! Meh, it's not TOO hard once you get the rhythm sussed.

S-S-6 : Chaos in a Standard chart? Yeah, it's not so tough though, only spaced out red-yellow-blue patterns (think 'You gotta move it' on Heavy).

S-H-8 : I don't particularly know what I was aiming for here...but it turned out fine in the end. Quite a lot of Chaos makes it a tricky 8', almost a 9'.

S-C-9 : Modelled on Across the nightmare. That explains the large 8th run at 296 BPM nicely. Easier than Atn though, but still hard enough for a mid/high 9' rating.

D-L-4 : Was supposed to be a 3', but...uh...wasn't.

S-S-6 : Actually harder than the Single steps (for once!), this is a tricky 6', with plenty of Chaos. Not really difficult for someone who plays at 10+, but...

S-H-8 : Much easier than the Single counterparts. Less chaos, which means that this _could_ be a 7'...
