> Spin keyboard off to a separate tournament. It doesn't fit.

> Kill off the divisions. This contest, as it is, promotes mimickry by pigeonholing you into two fairly rigid styles of stepmaking. It's an improvement over before, where there was one fairly rigid style of stepmaking that everyone held up as the example, but now that we have two examples of different styles we can break out of those shackles and stop limiting ourselves. I'd much rather it promote fun and innovation (as much as you can innovate on four panels - and it is possible). If I wanted to play DDR and ITG as-is, they're already there.

> Certainly the song thing is a load of crap, as far as I'm concerned. I want to see interesting choices, not Bloodrush part 2 (lol personal). I won OSC3 with Bad Religion and it'd be nice to think I could do it again someday. As above, if that's what I wanted, it's already out there.

> Less points given for following the rules. You shouldn't get any points for following the rules - you should lose points for not following the rules.

> Less worrying about it until next year. For some of us this isn't a full-time hobby anymore. But if you must, here's a few ideas for mini-OSCs to tide us over:
> > Mashup theme. I'm sure this would be the worst idea ever and I totally want to see it happen.
> > Neon FM stepwriting challenge. I think this would be interesting, and put everyone on quite a level playing field.
> > Eliminator tournament. You don't vote for your favorite, you vote for your least favorite, and the files with the most votes are gone. Problem with this is it may really bruise some egos.
