I thought I was from London, but I'm happy to be in the other UK team to improve DEL/Icarus' teams chances of success

We haven't yet decided how to split team UK.

You think we should do this with tiers? Or trying to base it on some regionals?

Smraedis · Post by **Smraedis** » Sat Aug 12, 2006 11:36 pm

I'm happy that I've been chosen for the UK 'Team 1'

and I hope it helps our chances of doing well too. I think the tier teams is a better idea, but its all for fun anyway.

Yeah, I'll happily go into the second UK team.

Post by **Icarus** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 12:08 am

I'm fine with however you guys want to chop up the UK. ^_-
Given the way the teams are organised at the moment, I'd say Team Cowboy are looking dangerous, despite being a quartet at present, but there are quite a good number of strong teams. This should be interesting. ^_-

DEL wrote:Considering the size and complexity of your 60 member scoring calculation proposal I'd say that you more than "prefer just to play"

That was just a silly idea I had late at night. It probably won't be used, but I thought it might add a little excitement and competition between players for both self and team glory. No one wants to be relegated, no matter what kind of league sport you're in. ^_-

DEL wrote:Unlike myself, you also have previous Smeet experience^_-

I just like to compete. ^_-

Besides, you're part of the London scene. Its like a non-stop competition for scores and records down there. The closest thing I have to that kind of scene up here is cold cold Geordieland is... well... this forum. -_-;;

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 12:36 am

Ok, I divided UK like DEL suggested now.

Can we rename UK Team 2 to UK Looser Team!

Tychom · Post by **Tychom** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 2:39 pm

Does it really have to be "looser" over "loser", thats just humiliating..

Acid King · Post by **Acid King** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 2:55 pm

If we start this monday, my team might be at a disadvantage because I'm am going to be out of town til wednesday. You east coast cats might have to drop me from the first weeks set of players. Hopefully things won't be cleared up til after monday so i won't lose any time.

Shit! And you are French too... Very poor spelling!

sven666 · Post by **sven666** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 4:42 pm

swedish team will be:

sven666
xipe
zinger
javel
tvspelsfreak

tho javel and tvspelsfreak are having troubles logging onto shmups, but thats our team anyways, if the competition starts before they manage their account i can post their scores.

I'm happy with the UK teams anyway they are cut up.

A London centric team would most likely wipe the floor with everyone else's arse on account of them actually having arcades to go to, unlike us up here in the North East who have nowt.

Cheers

I vote to start it up next weekend.

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 8:26 pm

Sounds good to me, it gives time to decide on the running order for each stage, allocate the first stage/game, most importantly once everything is sorted out message everyone with a 24h warning that the comp is ON.

Plus I aint near a pad or stick 'til thursday. Friday sounds great!.

professor ganson · Post by **professor ganson** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 12:22 am

So do we have working lists of teams/members? I'm curious about my fellow Ohioans, crithit and nemo. Did we end up on the same team? That would help make up for the lack of an Ohio shmup meet.

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 12:38 am

Working teams and their members are in the first post of this thread.

The startdate of this competition is: Monday, 21st August.

I am going to write every teammember an approval pm.
To all teams with 4 players on it. Do you have any idea who could be interested to join you as a 5th player?

Oh, and at the UK top tier team (4 members, who from the UK lower Tier (6 members) would you like to take in your upper team?

EDIT:
Oh, and I think I'll name it similiar to NTSC-J's ideas:
"Shooting Game Tournament 2006" or STG Tournament 2006 with the acronym STGT 2006.

Um, hopefully DarkWolf7 or some other Hawaiian board member that twe mentioned. If all else fails, maybe Zigfried the Trizealot.

What we need 5 members now? ~_~

You don't NEED 5 players. I just would reccomend it is a good idea to stock your teams with 5 players. Because it maybe that 2 players can't participate (don't have the game/have no time). But 4 is fine, if you'd like to stay with your team as it is now.

Belmont · Post by **Belmont** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 3:31 am

So is there any chance that the games will be revealed in advance? I donno about the rest of the people on here but it would sure help if i knew in advance so i could purchase games if needed...I hope i dont have to sit a lot of the compitition out because i dont have the games...I guess it would give some people a chance to practise cames though so mabey i should just get the games emulated.

Post by **Icarus** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 3:36 am

I think we'll be selecting games based on how easy they are to emulate. That should allow everyone a chance to play the games and participate. Use of ports of particular games, or PCBs are also allowed where appropriate. ^_-

As for knowing in advance... naah, I like surprises. Gives me less chance to prepare. ^_-

crithit5000 · Post by **crithit5000** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 3:41 am

I'd like to propose that my team (Ohio/Midwest/Middle/Flyover/Whatever) be officially called Team Wal*Mart or something else more appropriate. Like, Super Buffet Sitting Turbo or something. SERIOUSLY.

Post by **Shatterhand** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 3:56 am

I think we should do a COMAD week....

cigsthecat · Post by **cigsthecat** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 4:00 am

I think we need team logos too. I've got a good idea for one.

Post by **Icarus** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 4:06 am

I'm not sure if you guys are joking or serious, but I'm amused at any rate. ^_-
Call my team "Team Hangover". I'm going to make sure I have a killer one when all this is over. ^_-

Zigfried the Trizealot · Mon Aug 14, 2006 4:13 am

This thread has gotten huge, so I'm a bit lost on what team is what.

I know that Nemo wanted me for a team, and I saw Rob mention my name. As long as there's still space, I'M GAME.

EDIT: Location is USA... fake USA!

I was serious in a joking manner, or something. Plus, I'm horrible at naming things. I mean, I shelled out money for a domain called letsdestroytheinternet of all things.

But I think it's a good idea to come up with ridiculous names for teams as it could keep some parts of this a little lighthearted and all in fun. Logos and graphics are also a cool idea.
