Keep em coming, cos it was soooo funny the first time round.

Another thread brought down by the tag-team of skykid and DrTrouserPlank. The Akai Katana thread better be careful if it knows whats good for it.

And to the mods, I say: how many more innocent threads will fall before someone gets a ban?

All I want for Christmas is an ignore feature for the Shmups forum.

Yes.

Locking the Futari thread, now there's a challenge.

Yes.

I'd like this too, but I've never seen it implemented very well on any forum. People still quote/reply to the person you want to ignore, so you end up having to read what they said anyway, lest you totally lose track of what people are talking about.

Mods: please don't lock this thread, it has some very useful tips for newer and less skilled players. It would be better to remove or split off topic posts than to lock another thread for a popular game.

[Gus]

There's a very simple solution to these problems. Just stop replying seriously to DTP's troll bullshit.

[Estebang]

I would be greatly in favor of an ignore option, for the sake of civility.

[dan76]

Either that or have DrTrouserPlank start his own thread. He can keep anyone who's interested (because apparently there are some of you out there) on what he's failing at.

Please, this stuff is killing innocent threads.

EDIT: forgot to post what I originally wanted to er, post. Got to Larsa for the first time in 1.5 maniac mode tonight, having not played it for months. Tried to ignore scoring and focused on survival - pretty good fun in a mindless blasting kind of way.

Write your own. It's entirely possible to do client-side

Nice. You think you might give the game a serious look? I wouldn't mind having more competition in the high score thread. I actually think it's a lot easier than Deathsmiles.

Now there's a talking point.

@DrTrouserPlank

Youre probably already aware of this but I might aswell throw it out. What size is the screen youre playing on? using TATE? A big screen helps to see the spaces between the bullets especially those big CAVE bullets

[matrigs]

absolutely loving the game. did a few clears playing very safe. now i'm stage 5 bossing it but with much higher scores. 386 mil atm. hoping for 400 + by the end of the week.

At the moment I'm on a 32" screen yoko. I have run it tate'd on smaller screens before. I don't find much difference between them as long as I have got most of the screen in my field of vision I can play it ok.

A smaller screen can also help making it easier to keep track of the entire/a larger part of the screen at once.

I'm inclined to agree.

We had a good old debate about this one in the Hardware section:
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=36401

The conclusion there was that what's important is the apparent size of the screen in the player's field of vision.

Well, if you're using Firefox and have the GreaseMonkey-plugin installed, you could use this script. After installation, it adds an [x] after every username. Click the one next to the username you want to ignore, another click on the [x] will unhide (page needs to be reloaded ofc). Works with Chrome and should work with Opera, no idea 'bout IE though.

Works perfectly.

[DrTrouserPlank]

Works perfectly.

How will you know when people are insulting you though?

I could be writing all sorts of profane comments about your manhood and you would never know.

[Skykid]

I wouldn't put you on ignore DTP. You're a bit frustrating to talk to about Cave games, but you make up about a third of talking points these days.
I don't want to ignore half the forum, how boring would that be?
Just one or two (...maybe three) folks.

I said it worked perfectly but there is a problem: it doesn't make the posts invisible, it just collapses them. That means you can still see when someone's made a post and toggle it back on. That temptation kind of ruins the idea, so I don't think it's for keeps.

[DrTrouserPlank]

Tried playing it with the music volume turned down to zero. Definitely think it was less irritating.

[DrTrouserPlank]

I don't suppose having a stick makes you vastly more accurate and magically more consistent does it? I'm getting one in a couple of weeks but I don't imagine it will make any difference whatsoever.

No, not at all. I do all my runs with the 360 pad and actually sold off my arcade stick.

Excellent. That's another little ray of hope gone then.
