Edge - To be honest, the whole of UK Team 1 are new to Blazing Star. We are currently waiting on one more score.
Then I will post a consolidated UK namakoteam 1 result this evening.

STGT 2k6 Week #1: Blazing Star
Randorama - Cowboy Team - 14,450,230 - Stage 6 - Windina (MAME)
I heard that this game is used as the ultimate cruelty in Guantanamo. Can't believe people like it, honestly.

Yeah, it's just kind of tacky to use others forthcomingness in a friendly competition. It makes it seem unfriendly, like a Nemo thread.Icarus wrote:LOL. You sound a little cranky there Robbo.
Speaking of which,

Just a slight improvement, but I honestly think I can't do better, at least not today. I'm pretty sure I'd be able to clear the game if I played it for one more week, but considering my constantly growing hate for the game, this is pretty unlikely to happen.
I lost my first life right after the stupid rotators on stage 6. Then, to my own amazement, got through the tunnel of doom unharmed ...somehow. I got halfway through the boss fight, but lost my two remaining lives there.

We'd need some more debate with people re-iterating the same point for one gazillion times because they study law, though.Rob wrote: Yeah, it's just kind of tacky to use others forthcomingness in a friendly competition. It makes it seem unfriendly, like a Nemo thread.
Hope the next competition is not some shitty game selected just because a bunch of people appear, vote some shitty title and then disappear "because they're busy".

I'd be careful of who you call "unfriendly". But lets not bring that up here.Rob wrote:It makes it seem unfriendly, like a Nemo thread.
Besides, we'd like a chance to put a decent score together before posting, y'kno. ^_-

I just had an idea about the following week's pick. Only people who post scores this week get to vote (since there was talk of votes in PM?). How about that? No non-players deciding our gaming fates. 
Also, when will Edge snap?

Managed to squeeze a bit more out of myself. 40k short of the 20 million mark? Close enough.

Yeah, but please notice that we're not talking of sane people -_-
And beside that, i propose to debate about the method of selection in the other thread ~_~;

Just my two cents:
I think that holding back scores until the end kind of hurts the competition a bit. It's like me running a race against a bunch of people that I can't see until anyone gets 5ft before the finish line. If I had been able to see them, surely I would have pushed myself just a -little- more harder. As I said in another thread, competition fuels improvement. But hey, what do I know.
Maybe you guys can't handle the competition otherwise? 
haha. Let me join in and hold back a score until the very end of the competition, surely people would learn not to like that.

I don't quite love it BTW.
And I honnestly think that people have voted for this game because it was the best game available among the list provided. That's my own opinion obviously but seems to be the major opinion here. I would have been truly fucked up to play Sexy Parodius for a whole week.

Bah.
ALRIGHT! CHRIST F'ING HELL!
If I knew people would get their knickers in a twist over this I would have submitted an intergral score.
Icarus - namakoteam - 39,858,780 - Stage 7 - Windina - [WolfMAME]
My actual top score is still to be submitted tonight with the rest of my team's records.
This 39mil is replay verified, using WolfMAME (replay on request).
You all have around nine hours (as I write this its 3.15pm GMT).
Sorry teammates, I cracked. People really piss me off sometimes.

19 1/2 hours left!
And I plan to use them, I must get at least 1 non-embarassing score on this game. And although I can't stand the game anymore I will persue that goal.
