TRP-STGT 2015 Planning

[Frenetic]

I liked the mini teams. I also liked the rival you had to beat for the week. The certain score or stage we had to get for the BONUS was awesome too.

Thanks again for putting this tournament on trap15!

Awesome! Definitely looking forward to this. I like the idea of teams, or even just partners, but I'll play no matter what format it takes.

I voted for after November because I was wanting to run my own small thing with Death Roulette to bring it back and it should be good and finished by then. I had already begun setting it up when you posted this, so sorry about that. Id rather the two events not compete for everyone's time even if the DR event is much smaller scale.

In any case no matter how or when its run I will play (badly)

[trap15]

Yeah, looking like the later week sets are better for most people, so I'll probably go with the last set. Gonna let the poll run down though. If it ends up being close to Mushi's release, oh well I hope people prefer good games over purple vomit.

I always promise excellent games, and I don't think I've ever failed (except for Galmedes's easy infinite pattern, oops).

One thing worth noting (I think I did this last time, and I'm going to do it from now on) is that ranking is based on stage first, then score, like Arcadia.

Gonna start working on a game list I guess.

I liked the bonus targets last year. Teams I can take or leave, but either way it would be nice to have individual placings again as well.

Basically a fun tournament done each year

if it's like previous years, you can either organize or get assigned to a team of other forum posters, then each week during the duration of the contest, Trap decides what game is to be played (usually something you can easily do in MAME or doujin freeware) and you simply try to get the best score you can in said game before the end of that week

there's other details I'm sure trap himself can expand on, but that's really the basic gist

[Blackbird]

I'd love to play again! This was a ton of fun last year. Hopefully I can find time to do it.

[trap15]

Yeah, DN basically explained it. Look at the previous TRP-STGT threads to get an idea.

I'll post sign-ups and info once the poll has ended.

I guess 1 out of 6 games being good last time wasn't a bad streak.

Also no teams would be absolutely boring.

[Blinge]

Is it going to be the two best scores from each team again?
If yes, what's the rationale behind that?

It's a question, not criticism.

Jaimers come join a team with me. The team name will be "Jaimers and the noob" There could be a buddy cop movie afterwards about Touhou.

Makes it so that one straggler in one week (not interested in the game, busy that week, not good at the game, etc) doesn't tank the team score. Original STGT had this as well, though it was top3 of your team of 5-7 or something. I think that's too many people, hence top2 of teams of 3.

[Kollision]

that makes a lot of sense, considering I might let my teammates down in some of the weeks

[Illyrian]

I intend on letting down my team score wise every week because I am bad at video games.

[1up]

Gonna start working on a game list I guess.

Looking forward to play Omega Fighter

[Blinge]

Okay that makes sense.

Do I detect some NMK coming our way?

[trap15]

Probably, but I'm going to take a lot of time to vet the games this time. Nothing with no scoring. I feel bad about last TRP-STGT so I'm going to make sure this year's selections are actually great.

[EmperorIng]

I remember with some bemusement Gun Frontier week. Don't take that the wrong way; I love Gun Frontier.

Voting ended the other day, looks like we're going to go with 15 Nov 2015 - 19 Dec 2015.

I'll have a registration and info thread up in a few days. Ganbatte you're best, shmupsforum!!
