I suck too, but if this is to be a true shmups contest it doesnt make much sense to me if only the top & most competitive players take part. I feel BulletMagnet's Republic of Crapistan team will be a happy place for those who just want to be part of it all.
Well in that case, I'll play. East coast, son, what?!

Yeah this is going to be a bit difficult and this will depend on all the player available...
But we could form a skandinavian team with: Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark in one team?
Also if it is ok for you guys, we could have other teams where some contries form a team together.
And as last resort to get people join into teams, we may still do fun teams. Like team Atlantis or team Moon. "Mercy on the earth, GLORY WITH THE MOON" ... ...or something alike.
BTW: Looks like we might need 3 USA teams. 13 USA members already

Nice Einhander reference. ^_-
Best thing to do is to split up players based on reputation - those known to be higher skilled and/or more consistent should head up each team, and other players organised as appropriate.

Team Loser is hogging the defeatists and "reputation" is mostly bs anyways.
So obviously what I'm getting at is LET THERE BE 2-3 SUPERTEAMS!

I'm actually leaning towards "Legion of Losers," thanks to the convenient "LOL" abbreviation, but in all honesty it doesn't matter, whatever the name is everyone already gets the idea.

I'd like to play some games without a heavy score systems. Viewpoint and Gradius were very fun in Ramus shmeets, as Cyvern or Donpachi also were.

This is better than countries against each other. We saw what happened with the Italy thread, and a lot of members are in countries where there aren't many other members so they won't get a fair shout.
Hmm, it seems like Plasmo prefers to be part of the Cowboy team. The German team might be a bit weak without him.
Edge, are you with me on team Germany?
I still hope PlasmaBlooD joins in and I also want to nominate FrederikJurk and CIT. If we can drag the two of them in, we'd have at least a decent number of members. I fear that I might not be able to play every chosen game due to emulation issues, so I think having a bit of variety in the team would be best.
I think I finally conviced a friend of mine to register here.
I am part of a kind of "brazilian shmups.com" community, some brazilian fellows who are dedicated to shmups. I've been trying to tell them to register here for a while, but the language is always a barrier. At least one of them now is interested in registering.
Is this any bad? I mean, inviting someone who isn't a member on forum to register here to be part of this shmeet? Maybe he begins to be an active member.
at this rate team "loosers" will have to be split up into west and east coast too.. cmon guys, no need for the uber-defensive attitude, its just for fun.. no-ones gonna pick on you for not being the top shot in the brackets, its not like were playing for life or death here
seems to be alot of confusion about this whole team issue anyways, my vote goes to country teams, but regardless im down for the tournament
i think this matter can be debated for ages, whoevers hosting teh tournament should just put your foot down and state the rules... theres no way everyones gona get 100% satisfied anyways.
the destruction of everything, is the beginning of something new. your whole world is on fire, and soon, you'll be too..

I nominate me for the Team Germany .I hope Plasmo start for the Team Germany/Shooterecke too.

Count me in!
I won't be able to participate until after the 20th though, should be okay though, right? The competition probably won't start before that anyway.
I also nominate AVE/aventus for team Germany, and I'm sure he will participate, although he's on holiday until the 20th (I think).
Whilst I'm neither French nor D-Ku I can always side that way if needs be, but it would make more sense if there was actually more than just the two people ... I know Guts from shmup.com is on here occasionally, Parodius too iirc. Definately needs more players before it can be called a Team tbh.

Yeah, the proposed teams below the dividing line need to be filled out somehow, to 5-7 people. Netherlands/France/Italy could be joined.
USA people with ?s or unspecified locations should probably choose between west/east/midwest/etc. OR BE RAFFLED OFF.
