I'm kind of half-wanting Bakraid to win the vote to be honest.
Just so I can chuckle at the scathing remarks towards the game that'll appear when the playing week starts. ^_-
Same here, though I think the potential for that almost guarantees it won't win.
Feedback will set you free.

You guys vote for Bakraid then. Also, I like Del's idea of having a normal/advance option for APB. Practically a guarantee it won't get picked.

That game still makes me dizzy.

If we have a "Skip Raizing Week" option then increase the vote magnitude by 4 for the "Skip Cave Week" option.

I guess "Dangun Feveron" counts as such an option, considering few Cave fans want to play that.

We're getting way too far ahead of ourselves talking about Cave week, but let's all make sure to vote for Dangun Feveron. It is the best they can do.

I could go for Feveron. Someone once told me that it is fun.

I still don't know how to get 11,000,000 from the stage one boss. I still don't know how that weird scoring system works!
Methinks you're confusing Batrider with Bakraid.
Yeah, it should be Bakraid.


BATTLE GAREGGA ALL THE WAY!

Last days have pretty hectic for me so: in which thread do i vote? What are the options?

Sounds like Edge is keeping the vote public still. He said he'd put it out Saturday or Sunday. We don't know the choices still, but I'm pretty sure his judgement is good enough.

I agree, this is cutting pretty tight. However it prevents early practice though, so we run with it.

Ahh, Beerfest. I still need to see that movie.

Yeah, it still should be starting monday. Unless this last minute voting thing causes a riot or somthin'.

It's not so bad in the West Hemisphere. The further west ya are, the more it's still Sunday when the competition starts.

In the US, it's also Labor Day this coming monday. That may help or hurt each individual based on family ties and whatnot.

Everyone gets those bonus 12 hours anyway which totally, totally saved my ass last week :mrgreen:

So, I send DJ Incompetent a pm.

Than we can try the poll where everyone votes in the thread. Like it was suggested at some point in this thread. So all particapants post their choices and DJ Incompetent keeps track of all votes and post the status in their first post. :)

Thanks for your patience so far, because I wanted to consider carefully what to choose and esspecially thanks to DJ Incompetent for doing this.

That's exactly how it works.

Alright! We are game-on folks. The voting thread is up for Raizing week. Be sure to post in the thread your decision. Disregard the standard bullet poll up-top unless you already posted your vote first. :idea: All is explained in the actual poll thread.

I'm really interested in what the possibilities are for retro week. I'm hoping something relatively quick and simple, early 80s. Single screen shooters please.

Juno First has to be in it.
