TRP-STGT 2017 Revengeance

Post by trap15 »

I'm fucking doing it, decide your time/weapons. You have one week to decide. Pick best two times.

As last time, teams are 2 or 3 players, you may sign up as a free agent and be auto-placed in teams.

(EDIT: Fixed the time ranges)

I probably won't participate, but here are my guesses for the five games; pretty sure you'll dig up some surprises, but I'd be disappointed if I don't get 3 or at least 2 out of those 5 right:

Acrobat Mission (obligatory)
Double Wings, maybe Game Tengoku
Eight Forces (the most obligatory game ever)
Space Bomber
Twin Eagle or Twin Eagle II; think you'll go with the second


Not so sure which games you'll pick that most people will find satisfying, that's where Double Wings, Game Tengoku and Space Bomber come into play. One game needs to be terrible, hence Twin Eagle or something equally bad. It's a miracle you haven't picked the other two titles yet. I shall wait for the revelation with proper trepidation. :mrgreen:

They have busted scoring systems, unfortunately. Bosses don't time out but give you the opportunity to milk some goons. :lol:

Hopefully, half the players won't show up again at all. Just so my team stays somewhere on the top.
1. Unusual Weaponry
2. Short Words
3. Blind(ing) Fire

The date ranges all changed (and make a lot more sense now) so update your votes if you need to

I'm not sure how much time i'll be able to put into this but count me in regardless.
You'd have to be drunk off your ass to organize another STGT but i'm not complaining.

Space Bomber or bust

(Detana!! TwinBee is also acceptable, if only to sit back and watch the tears from a safe distance)

Yes. Fucking finally. I was getting so damn tired of raging at top-tier shooters and my lack of skill; what's needed in my life is to spend five weeks save-state practicing bizarre shitshows mixed in with an underrated gem or two.

I like playing deeply flawed games because if I fail I can blame the game instead of myself.

If they're all equally fine, don't vote. I'm not using this to gauge interest.

If I manage to tear myself away from Mars Matrix I might give this a shot. The possibility of Space Bomber and the inevitability of silly mechanics is pretty enticing.
