Intro
Before beginning I'd like to credit Captain for coming up with the original shmups roulette idea as seen in "The Quickening". I really enjoyed participating in that thread throughout 2014.
It's mostly dead now though, and I'd like to restart the idea myself with a bigger focus on competition and a strict no restarts rule set.
So here's how it's going to work: Tournaments will be held weekly until the end of all time (or the forum server) and players may enter and drop out as they please. No registration is required, players of all levels are encouraged to join, and you can feel free to jump in at any time even if it's the middle of a given week. Just play whenever you feel like it is what I'm saying.
So then, lets get to the...
Rules
A maximum of 5 times per week, players can roll a random shmup. You can do this by either using this link, OR by creating a word document list of every shmup you own/have access to and pasting it here.
If the randomizer gives you a game you don't have access to, just reroll until you get something you can play. Do not play the same game twice in a single week, if you roll the same game just reroll. You may not reroll just because you don't like the game you were given. Suck it up and do your duty soldier!
Play one credit of whatever you rolled and posts the results here. You may not restart the credit for any reason! If you stupidly die two seconds into stage one, it just sucks to be you. Pretend you are at an arcade with the last existing 100 yen coin in the universe. Games should be played on normal difficulty and default settings. Beginner, Novice, Boss rush, and Caravan modes do not qualify for Death Roulette.
Obviously since we are all playing random games this cannot be a scoring competition, therefore this will be a purely survival tournament. At the end of each week (Weeks start and end at 12pm on Sundays) I will tally how many stages you reached in all of the games you played during the week. This will be your final score for the week and the player with the highest score will be considered the winner.
If you pull a game that breaks into checkpoint areas rather than standard stages like Hishouzame, please use your own judgement to break the game up into standard stages. In general you should count major area changes as new "stages" in these cases.
You automatically get one point just for playing (because you "reached" stage 1). If you somehow 1cc the game you were given, you gain an additional 5 points (and I will think you are a boss). An additional 5 bonus points will also be awarded for killing a True Last Boss. Please Note the kill in your submission.
As of Loop 7 there will be a weekly challenge that if cleared will result in a 5 point bonus. The challenge for any given week will be listed in the opening post and also the result post for the previous week. Challenges will change regularly. The challenge can only be cleared once per week. If you clear it please note it under the result of whichever game you cleared it on.
All week winners will be logged in this post along with an all time win ranking.
Results should be posted in this format:
Name - Game and Version - Ship (if applicable) - Stage - Score
(TLB Clear)
(Weekly Challenge Clear)
Final Result: ___ Points
EX:
ACSeraph - Mushihimesama (360) - M-Type - ALL (5 Stages) - 10 points
True Last Boss Clear! - 5 points
Weekly Challenge Clear! - 5 points

Final Result: 37 Points
Please edit your submissions into a single post for each week and calculate your final result including any bonuses you earned that week. It will save me a lot of time when posting the weekly rankings.
So with all that out of the way...
