WHO IS THIS K//ETERNAL?!:

Well, I'm the guy who runs Dance Anarchy, we make pretty quality files if you ask me, ask someone else and they might disagree, but meh. We did pretty well in Tournamix 5 anyhow >_>

At one point I was also known for modding Foonmix. The developers yelled at me though, because they can't handle people editing their work. But in all honesty, it was my fault for not checking with them first...

Well, that brings me to the next point anyhow...

MODDING/PART USAGE:

I plan to make this theme open to modding after the completed release comes out. I recognize that modding themes and learning from the works of others is instrumental to becoming a skilled themer, as it lets you get a grasp of SM theme coding and technique.

However, while the theme is still in development, to avoid branching and confusion, I ask that you refrain from incorporating any parts of this theme in the creation of your own theme (regardless of how much you modify said parts). If you make a theme which contains any parts at all from DDR9:RED, please keep it for private use only until the completed RED release.

Also, when this theme does become open to modding (which is NOT YET), if around 50% or more of your theme is based on RED (modified or not), your THEME AND README must contain the phrase "Parts based on k//eternal's DDR9:RED (http://anarchy.azn.nu/)".

If less than 50% is based on RED, your readme must contain the phrase "Parts based on k//eternal's DDR9:RED (http://anarchy.azn.nu/)". You can put it in the theme as well if you want, but that's not necessary. Giving credit is necessary, though, I've worked a long time on this and I don't want to see some bitch steal it.

Breaking the above rules is a violation of intellectual property, and while I obviously can't copyright this theme due to the Konami material, I can still be pretty damn pissed about it, and so will a bunch of other people. Please, stick to the rules above.

Please don't ask me any questions that are covered in this readme. Although if you do, chances are you weren't reading it anyway so it's a moot point to say this...

FIN:

Well, hope you enjoy what there is of the theme so far! Please keep in mind that this is an unfinished version, that because of this parts of the theme may be non-functional, and the finished version should be somewhat more polished. Feedback, questions, whatever for the theme goes in its thread at KBBS; again... http://kbbs.chaos.dolphin.name/ipb/

Please do not ask about when the final theme comes out. Offline-wise, I'm really freaking busy so I have no clue about that. I have other things to do in my spare time as well...

Final note, I made this theme so that I can use it. Therefore, I have the right to not listen to your requests if I don't feel like doing what you say. (Not to imply that I definitely won't listen. I'm just saying I don't _have_ to.)

That all said, have fun.
