STGT 08 - This is how it goes!

Post by DMC »

Yep, this it how it goes.

1. Namakoteam
2. Team Cowboy Apes
3. Team Sweden
4. SDA A team
5. Pelé Shooting Team

*namakoteam mobilizes to win this tournament once again, but this time it will be a close call with team cowboy apes.

* SDA cries out loud after another 2 points defeat against Sweden.. :wink:

* Shooting snobs wins over Team feelings in a non-participate competition.

what do you guys think? :D

DMC: Knowing us, it will be by one point!

My two predictions:

Team SDA - A will have someone other than me, stanski, and Enhasa getting a top 3 score within our team.

Kennyman666 will once again be my verbal/text punching bag :lol:

Yeah, I think Namako Team will win again, but Team Cowboy will be a lot closer this year.



Our team is a lot stronger than last year though. I can see myself failing to qualify in top 3 of my team a lot, if not in all weeks this year. And we still don't have our stronger player in the team, as he couldn't play this year again thanx to College obligations. We are aiming to the top 5 again, but I honestly think we can get the 3rd place this year. If Innuendo could play, we would be aiming to the top spot :)

My only prediction is that I won't have the lowest score every week.

Well, aside from our team, Cowboy Apes are my favorites this time around. (Not that I wish for SDA-A to lose to them, but at least I won't feel any bad about it.) It also seems that if Namakoteam wants the first place now as well, they will have to try twice harder this time around, too, if Cowboy Apes make actual effort to win the tourney.

I look forward to SDA's competition with Team Sweden and Pelé Shooting Team, though. :)

Heh, reminds me of the Discworld law that if something has exactly a one-in-a-million chance of happening, it MUST happen. ;)

Not like it matters, since Team Loser will pwn all this year.

in terms of points i guess namakotean, sweden and then cowboy or one of the SDA teams.

but who cares, the shooting snobs are pure bred winners overall so the actual tournament is more of a homeage to us than anything else.
you all know we got better shit than you so dance for us, biches.
the destruction of everything, is the beginning of something new. your whole world is on fire, and soon, you'll be too..

One of, yes.
It shouldn't be hard to guess which one.

(Hint: It isn't B.)

SDA B-Team will destroy everyone in FPST 08. :shock:

The games will be better this year because the shortlists this time are like padded walls for the shmups asylum.

Yes, indeed we will, I think.

I've learned much since last year's tournament.

I've become an expert at ramming bosses, and my incredible skill also allows me to weave through impossible patterns of bullets, yet still somehow manage to crash directly into the very last one on the screen.

Sometimes, I might even crash into item carriers.


Nobody will beat me when it comes to smashing into things, nobody!

10,10,10 - it's a close call indeed.
Which team will surprise us all, like SDA did last year?

I'm voting Strawberry Team, mainly because I've never heard of any of the people on it and therefore pretty much anything they do will come as a surprise.
