Since everyone in #shmups is too afraid to make a thread...

I was wondering about this myself, I watched on the sidelines the last two years and planned on participating this year.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 5:24 am

I will be on the sidelines this year... but I can't wait to see the drama ensue.

I won it, it was awesome and everybody got drunk

Isn't it kinda late to start it though? It's almost August!

I was just wondering this the other day.

If TheCoop is willing to let me be part of the oldschoolers team again, I'm in. I promise to make a great new sig image, too.

Shatterhand, please come back.

Yay, lets destroy stgt 08 might return if I can get another USB pad (currently using a Sixaxis, and that D-Pad hurts...). PLEASE OH PLEASE NO MORE BROKEN AND SHITTY GAMES THIS YEAR. I think except for Giga Wing and Darius Gaiden, I cried every week.

Team Old Schoolers is "first come, first serve". I don't lock anyone into it, as I know people change their minds or form their own teams. So once teams start forming, be sure it get in before all six spaces fill up.

As for sigs, I've already designed two (old school look, and a redone "more colors" version of the same concept). So you don't have to if you don't feel like it.

And I doubt Shatterhand will return. Unless all his Pele team members vanish or go elsewhere, he'll likely be staying with his team.

I missed the 06 one because I had problems signing up for about 100000 years, and I missed the last one because I accidentaly had an awesome time somewhere cool instead. I can't wait for this years tourney

STGT is a good idea in principle, that ends up being ruined by the forum's overt and anal-retentive nerdiness

orange · Post by **orange** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 11:57 am

All I know is that a team should pick me up.

Post by **spadgy** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 12:11 pm

Despite my middling talents, I'd love to get involved with a team and STGT, as I so enjoyed Macaw's tourney earlier this year...

I noticed that from being a spectator to the last one. I'm fairly confident my abilities climbed since Macaws tourney (perhaps my recent first Cave 1CC has made me over-confident.

That said, maybe I will stick to the more easy going tournaments. I'm not one for being too serious, so wouldn't want to ruin it for those that are approaching it that way.

I'll address this tonight or tomorrow night. Thanks for being patient.

I can't wait to vote for the worst game over and over again!

I can't wait to hear more bitching, especially from GaijinPunch, who claimed he wasn't going to join this year!

What if there is no Cave for the second straight year in a row? I know, it's a situation too horrible to even dream of

DJI: Did you get my PM?

We are ready to Seibu!

kozo · Post by **kozo** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 7:43 pm

I'll play too. Team would be fun, but I'm still fairly new around here and haven't posted more than a few scores, so yeah. Let's go.

Ruldra · Post by **Ruldra** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 7:49 pm

So, is STGT08 finally getting started? I'm joining in for sure.

As for myself, I will play whatever is thrown at me, but I super seriously hope I don't have to play Viper Phase 1, argh

WRONG, Macaw was intent on destroying us all

I hope Guardian Force is picked for STGT '08. I will be sad if it isn't.

Yeah, you'll eliminate half of the participants for not having a good enough PC to run it.

Anyway, do we get to vote for the games on the tourney? I'm voting for Dimahoo then

You can count me in captain if you still want me

I only demand a pinch of common sense with people I inteeract with. I don't think that's a very stiff order, yet, I'm short-changed here left and right.

Awesome, I can't wait for you to leave us the fuck alone!

And who the fuck are you again?
