That's a good point you raise
Look at the mess the Treaty of Versailles made

I suck too, but if this is to be a true shmups contest it doesnt make much sense to me if only the top & most competitive players take part. I feel BulletMagnet's Republic of Crapistan team will be a happy place for those who just want to be part of it all.

Well in that case, I'll play. East coast, son, what?!

Yeah this is going to be a bit difficult and this will depend on all the player available...

But we could form a skandinavian team with: Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark in one team?

Also if it is ok for you guys, we could have other teams where some contries form a team together.

And as last resort to get people join into teams, we may still do fun teams. Like team Atlantis or team Moon. "Mercy on the earth, GLORY WITH THE MOON" ... ...or something alike.

BTW: Looks like we might need 3 USA teams. 13 USA members already

Nice Einhander reference. ^_-

Best thing to do is to split up players based on reputation - those known to be higher skilled and/or more consistent should head up each team, and other players organised as appropriate.

Team Loser is hogging the defeatists and "reputation" is mostly bs anyways.

So obviously what I'm getting at is LET THERE BE 2-3 SUPERTEAMS!

Team Fake USA for the win. If we had Rob, Gaijin Punch and I on a team, we'd have Psikyo, Takumi, and Cave games, as well as Ikaruga covered.

OH, COME ON, I'd love both a PC-Engine AND a C64 or Amiga week (Or the 3 options).

I'd like to play some games without a heavy score systems. Viewpoint and Gradius were very fun in Ramus shmeets, as Cyvern or Donpachi also were.

And in what team I'll play? I'll try to assemble a TEAM BRAZIL, if I can't do it, I'll just hang with the losers I guess

I'm actually leaning towards "Legion of Losers," thanks to the convenient "LOL" abbreviation, but in all honesty it doesn't matter, whatever the name is everyone already gets the idea.

I hated Viewpoint, and Cyvern hated me.

This is better than countries against each other. We saw what happened with the Italy thread, and a lot of members are in countries where there aren't many other members so they won't get a fair shout.

Herr Schatten · Post by **Herr Schatten** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 7:01 am

Hmm, it seems like Plasmo prefers to be part of the Cowboy team. The German team might be a bit weak without him.

Edge, are you with me on team Germany?

I still hope PlasmaBlooD joins in and I also want to nominate FrederikJurk and CIT. If we can drag the two of them in, we'd have at least a decent number of members. I fear that I might not be able to play every chosen game due to emulation issues, so I think having a bit of variety in the team would be best.

Post by **Shatterhand** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 7:06 am

I think I finally conviced a friend of mine to register here.

I am part of a kind of "brazilian shmups.com" community, some brazilian fellows who are dedicated to shmups. I've been trying to tell them to register here for a while, but the language is always a barrier. At least one of them now is interested in registering.

Is this any bad? I mean, inviting someone who isn't a member on forum to register here to be part of this shmeet? Maybe he begins to be an active member.

sven666 · Post by **sven666** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 7:14 am

at this rate team "loosers" will have to be split up into west and east coast too.. cmon guys, no need for the uber-defensive attitude, its just for fun.. no-ones gonna pick on you for not being the top shot in the brackets, its not like were playing for life or death here

seems to be alot of confusion about this whole team issue anyways, my vote goes to country teams, but regardless im down for the tournament

i think this matter can be debated for ages, whoevers hosting teh tournament should just put your foot down and state the rules... theres no way everyones gona get 100% satisfied anyways.

1up · Post by **1up** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 8:15 am

team scandinavia sounds like a good idea as it seems im the only dane here

I nominate me for the Team Germany

.I hope Plasmo start for the Team Germany/Shooterecke

too.

Vincere · Post by **Vincere** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 9:56 am

Could we just set up the teams please because there are so many on the list... I'm in the D-ku Team obviously.

Skyline · Post by **Skyline** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 11:55 am

I guess I'm in. The previous "shmeet" was quite a bit of fun.

I was sort of in between Tier II and III last time around, dunno where that places me team-wise. I kinda suck lately. XD

Turrican · Post by **Turrican** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 1:46 pm

I still don't understand how the game will be chosen (random, I guess) and how many weeks it's gonna last the whole thing...

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 3:35 pm

50 people have joined, so far. That should be 7-8 teams. Enough?

Vincere · Post by **Vincere** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 3:40 pm

Ok, so I'm the only French member... Seems like some of us are alone country-wise.

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 3:54 pm

Edge, please replace the list in the original post with this. Thanks.

Count me in!

I won't be able to participate until after the 20th though, should be okay though, right? The competition probably won't start before that anyway.

I also nominate AVE/aventus for team Germany, and I'm sure he will participate, although he's on holiday until the 20th (I think).

Tychom · Post by **Tychom** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 4:39 pm

Whilst I'm neither French nor D-Ku I can always side that way if needs be, but it would make more sense if there was actually more than just the two people ... I know Guts from shmup.com is on here occasionally, Parodius too iirc. Definately needs more players before it can be called a Team tbh.

Vincere · Post by **Vincere** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 4:40 pm

Tychom lives in France but is not french, he's free to choose in which part he wants to be.

Post by **Icarus** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 4:44 pm

This is starting to look like the Shmups World Cup.
Without the diving, red cards and extra-time comedy. ^_-

Yeah, the proposed teams below the dividing line need to be filled out somehow, to 5-7 people. Netherlands/France/Italy could be joined.

USA people with ?s or unspecified locations should probably choose between west/east/midwest/etc. OR BE RAFFLED OFF.

I'm USA, and on the east coast. Probably should beo nt he east team then =D
