Team Contest VI - Tag Team

[Kong]

If you cheat then your entire team will be disqualified and you will not be allowed to compete in any future contests.

Each team captain must divide their team into 4 pairs and post those pairings here before 11PM EST, Thursday, September 23. Each team will have an odd man out that must sit on the bench and not play.

Your post will look something like this

John & Joe
Billy & Bob
Charles & David
Todd & Bret
Carl on bench

Replace the names with users from your team.

If you do not post that list by the deadline then bad unspeakable things will happen to your team.


The contest will start at the equinox, 11:09 PM EST, Wednesday, September 22.
Tenser and I will log into chat (http://retrouprising.com/chat/) at that time and start Round 1.
The website will randomly pick a score enabled non-Flash game.
Everyone in chat at that time will have a few minutes to debate if the randomly chosen game should be kept or replaced. Tenser and I will make the final decision.
A new game will only be chosen if the first random game is agreed to not be very competitive (lots of tied scores or just an endurance test), extremely boring, buggy or broken.
If we decide to replace the game then go back to step 3 and repeat until we accept a game.
Tenser or I will then post the selected game here.
Your team captain will have 24 hours from the time we post the game to post which pair from their team will compete this round.
Scores will only count if submitted by the pair that the team captain posts and after the captain posts the pair and before the round is over.
If you do not post a pair on time then the other 3 teams will pick your pair for you.
Pairs can not play again until all other pairs on their team have played. Each live pair on your team must get an equal number of rounds.
Each day Tenser or I or both will log into chat at a random time. We will roll a 4 sided die.
If the die is a 2, 3 or 4 then nothing happens. We go back to step 11.
If the die is a 1 then the current round is over.
When the round is over we will go to the score board and combine each pairs scores.
The team with the lowest combined score will bench their player with highest score.
The team with the second lowest combined score will bench their player with lowest score.
We start the next round and go back to step 3.
When your team has benched all members you are out.
Last team standing wins.


2 people will be benched every round even if there are only 2 or 3 teams left.
If a pair is broken up by benching a player then the remaining player must play by themselves. So instead of combining two scores it is just his score + zero. He can not be skipped and must play in the same number of rounds as your other pairs.
If a solo player survives a round or gets first place then they can call in a benched player.
If your team has two solo players then they can join as a new pair.

Quick question, you say we have until 11PM EST on Thu, Sept 23 to announce the teams, but the contest starts on Wed, Sept 22. Is this a typo or am I missing something here?

[joz]

@ WB: I believe we are going to be deciding on the randomly selected game for competition on the first day.

[CrispyChicken]

Do we all have to be in chat at the time the contest starts?

[pieman124]

And who are the team captins?

[Winnebagel]

[Kong]

Quick question, you say we have until 11PM EST on Thu, Sept 23 to announce the teams, but the contest starts on Wed, Sept 22. Is this a typo or am I missing something here?Not a typo. You will know what the first game is for 24 hours before you have to have your pairings submitted.

But a round can randomly close at any time after 24 hours so waiting until the deadline might not be smart.

Do we all have to be in chat at the time the contest starts?Being in chat is not required but it does give you an advantage because the people in chat will have some influence over which game is selected - they will get to argue that the randomly selected game should be skipped or kept.

[Seahawk]

If a solo player does not get last or second to last place or if they get first place then they can call in a benched player.



So, getting second place wouldn't count? It'd be easier to write "If a solo player survives a round without getting eliminated..." for clarity.

[Kugyince]

Rule simplification:

If a solo player gets first place they may call back a member who was kicked off.

[CrispyChicken]

Ok, thanks Kong. I'll try to be in chat. Shouldnt have a problem getting on at 11:00 PM on Wednesday (correct date right?)

[Kong]

I reworded a rule

"If a solo player survives a round or gets first place then they can call in a benched player."

That means if there are 4 teams left then a solo player needs first or second place to call someone in. If there are 3 or less teams then the solo player needs first place. If there are only two left then both teams will lose a player but the first place team (if they are solo) will get to call someone else in to replace them.

We will start in about 9 and a half hours. Log into chat at 11:09 EST tonight to be part of the excitement! I added a new challenge feature to chat that selects a random game. To see it correctly you will need to go to the chat page and press Control + F5. That forces your browser to get the newest version of the page instead of using your browsers temp files.

I have the same problem then I clicked on the "Challenge" button and pressed ENTER. It immediately worked after that.

[tanc24]

Nevermind. The "Challenge" icon appears under our usernames on the right hand side of the screen. Click on 'challenge' and press Enter.

[Kong]

Control + F5 just refreshes the page and makes sure you get the latest copy from the server instead of your browser temp files. It does not issue a challenge. To do that you click challenge under your name to the right of that page.

[CrispyChicken]

Less than 20 mins until the game is announced. Lot of people in chat.

I like the new Challenge feature. Its good for getting high scores. Nice job Kong! :D

Round 1
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Detana!! Twinbee (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/1021/)

Ok. All Team Captains. You have until 11PM EST Tomorrow, Thursday, September 23 to post your 4 pairs + 1 bench.

Also by the same time you have to post the pair that will play round 1.

After that 24 hours is up, Tenser or I or both will randomly log into Chat once a day. We will roll a 4 sided dice. If it is a 1 then the round is over and only scores submitted during the round will count.

It may not have been clear before - for a score to count it must be submitted by the pair that is playing and it must be submitted after your captain posts which pair is playing and it must be submitted before the round is over. Only one pair per team per round.

Good Luck and Happy First Day of Autumn Everyone!

[elrod21]

Kong,

Not sure if I missed it or not, but what skill level should we be playing this game at? Default settings which is Normal with 3 lives or should it be Hard or Pro?

[Seahawk]

Since this is just for the highest score you can tweak the settings to your heart's content.

The rule for default or harder settings is for game mastery.

[Slime Slayer]

I'm not all that familiar with the rules cause all I ever play is coin-op.

[CatalystiCam]

coin op lags my buttons every 30 seconds or so and holds down whatever buttons I was pressing for like 2 seconds

Viciously lowering the skill level?

[joz]

Tag Teams for the Mega Men are as followed:

Jozman-Timber
Kong-ChrisP
Fogelmir-Cameron

Bench: Timh

[Kugyince]

@Joz: Remember that you still need to include which pairing will be participating in this round before 11pm EST tonight.

[joz]

yes. thank you for the reminder Tenser.

[Kong]

Making sure everyone understands the rules.

Rounds end at random times. It could end as early as 24 hours after I posted the game for this round, 11:20 PM tonight.

Scores do not count until after the captain post the pair that will play this round.

Therefor it is normally not in your best interest to wait until the last minute.

The rules are designed to discourage you from waiting until the deadlines are right on top of you.

It is bad strategy to wait.

Thanks Ten. I guess it was obvious, but I figured I would say it anyway. Nice pics.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

BTW, I noticed Kong isn't wearing pants in the pic you posted. Nice!

[Kong]

Each round consists of
1. Randomly picking game.
2. Decide if we should pick a new random game or keep the one selected.
3. Post the selected game in this thread.
4. Start clock.
5. Post the pair that is playing this round.
6. After 24 hours we will roll a 4 sided die once a day at random times until that die is a 1.
7. When the die is a 1, the round is over.

Scores only count in between step 5 and 7. Step 6 will happen for the first time, sometime between 11:20 PM EST tonight and the 11:19PM EST tomorrow. You have a 1 in 4 chance of the round ending then.

[CatalystiCam]

:x Oh god, 6 hours... Okay, I'm going to go ahead and hope for anything but a 1, lol.

[Seahawk]

So everyone wants to play Detana on Easy mode huh? You bunch of wieners.

Seahawk will match you every step of the way.

[CatalystiCam]

I'm tailing right behind you my friend ;)

[Winnebagel]

Seahawk will match you every step of the way.

I like how you talk about yourself in the 3rd person. It's very megalomaniacal of you. :lol:

I've gotta have my Dr. Evil moments every now and then =P.

[Smittycal]

So just so Im clear....I dont need to play anything until my team comes up right?

[Winnebagel]

So just so Im clear....I dont need to play anything until my team comes up right?

Right Smitty. I'll keep you in the loop. Keep checking the EC room too.

[Smittycal]

Thanks WB

[Winnebagel]

Thanks WB

No problem bro. This is a fun one so far. Very random.

[joz]

Only the top two scores, one per player, per team counts right? If so, wouldn't it be best to not post so many scores unless you actually get a higher score than before to avoid swamping the score board?

[Kugyince]

Only the top two scores, one per player, per team counts right?
Correct.

[Seahawk]

Current score status for Round 1:

GOM (Tenser/Seahawk): 1,043,250 + 2,766,850 = 3,810,100
VB (wolfman24/Enemy Ace): 1,322,150 + 1,784,800 = 3,106,950
MM (Cameron36/fogelmir): 1,525,400 + 936,750 = 2,462,150
EC (david man45/TrakMastaTom): 715,100 + 435,500 = 1,150,600

Names in bold stand to be dropped if the round ends with no more score updates.

[Kong]

@Joz, since you don't know when a round is going to be over, you always want to submit your highest score even if it just floods the board.

Kong rolls 1d4 and gets 4.Round continues.

I would like to point out, the rules say "Tenser, or I or Both will roll once a day". That means there can be 2 rolls per day. Especially if this starts to seem like it is dragging out for too long we will both roll each day.

What does everyone think about changing it from 1d4 to 1d3 or 1d2? Just to speed it up. If all four team captains agree to reducing it we will, otherwise it stays the same.

[Seahawk]

What does everyone think about changing it from 1d4 to 1d3 or 1d2? Just to speed it up. If all four team captains agree to reducing it we will, otherwise it stays the same.

24 hours after the game is posted, roll 1d4.
If the round continues, the next day roll 1d3.
Next day, 1d2.
If chance fails this long, then a compulsory end of the round. That way a round can't theoretically last forever. So the max length of a round is 96 hours (4 days).

[CatalystiCam]

I think if you're going to do that then 1 die a day. 2 1d2's would be disastrous.

[joz]

@cam: that would already be day three for the 1d2 die to be rolled. I think by then everyone would have had enough time to get used to the game and score as high as they ever will.

[Kong]

@Seahawk, Joz had the same idea in chat, sounds good.

Here is another idea - if all 4 captains agree we can make this rule change. Otherwise we will not. This will let the teams have more strategy and control.

The team captains can roll the die instead of Tenser and Me.
Each team captain can choose to roll a 1d4 once per 24 hours - the first time being at least 24 hours after the round starts. If any one of the captains roll a 1 the round is over. They do not have to roll. Once a team is eliminated and there are only 3 teams left it will change to 1d3. When another team is eliminated and there are only 2 teams left it will be 1d2.

Unless 3rd or 4th place wanted to throw in the towel there would only be 2 rolls per day with this new rule - it is only good strategy for 1st and 2nd place to roll.

Also we should have a rule that if both 3rd and 4th want to end the round they can. No reason in playing if the only people that will be punished have accepted defeat and given up trying.

[jim5cents]

I do not like the team captain rule. It gives a team an unfair advantage to post a high score, then immediately have a chance to end the round.

Part of the logic of having Kong or Ten roll is that way, the end of round would be a mystery.

[Kugyince]

I rolled a 2 at ~4:30am EST today.

[Seahawk]

The team captains can roll the die instead of Tenser and Me.
Each team captain can choose to roll a 1d4 once per 24 hours - the first time being at least 24 hours after the round starts. If any one of the captains roll a 1 the round is over. They do not have to roll. Once a team is eliminated and there are only 3 teams left it will change to 1d3. When another team is eliminated and there are only 2 teams left it will be 1d2.

Also we should have a rule that if both 3rd and 4th want to end the round they can. No reason in playing if the only people that will be punished have accepted defeat and given up trying.

I don't like this rule. If a pair gets an extremely high score then they have a chance to immediately end the round. Part of this contest is trying to get the high score, and having the chance to counter attack. This takes time. If someone in Detana beat my score it could take an hour to get it back. While I'm playing a captain could make the magic roll, wasting my effort. At least if Tenser and Kong rolls everyone shares the same chance of the round ending at any time. It adds to the suspense by making the end of the round a mystery.

I think the surrender rule is a good option.

[tanc24]

I agree with Seahawk and 5cents. Kong and Tenser should control the roll.
I like the idea of a decreasing sided dice every 24 hours. 4 sided, then 3 sided, then 2 sided.
Surrender is fine, too.

What I don't understand is was this first round essentially wasted, or are davidman and fogelmir benched and two more people will soon be benched after this next 24 hours? Help, please. ???

[Kong]

I thought the captain roll rule would make it more interesting - it is still random and uncertain - but each team has a chance to get together and organize and try to hammer a nail in. And any advantage or disadvantage it gives would be equal to all teams.

What I don't understand is was this first round essentially wasted, or are davidman and fogelmir benched and two more people will soon be benched after this next 24 hours? Help, please. ???A round is not over until a 1 is rolled. If scores do not change then they will be benched when a 1 is rolled.

[Seahawk]

What I don't understand is was this first round essentially wasted, or are davidman and fogelmir benched and two more people will soon be benched after this next 24 hours? Help, please. ???

The first round isn't over yet.
The same pairs are still playing the same game.
Nobody is benched yet.

Benching is only decided when the magic 1 roll comes around.

[tanc24]

Got it. So... if Tenser and Seahawk didn't submit any new scores, their 1st day combined score would still remain and everyone else would have a chance to beat it?

[joz]

It's the highest score for each player regardless of what day they posted.

[Seahawk]

Score update:

GOM (Tenser/Seahawk): 1,043,250 + 2,949,250 = 3,992,500

Bolded names are on the chopping block.

[CatalystiCam]

this is going to get heated, and I got only 10 K less than my previous best, lol...

EC (david man45/TrakMastaTom): 1,139,750 + 435,500 = 1,575,250

[Kugyince]

11:25pm EST I rolled a 1 in front of SJB and Steven. This round is over. I will tally/approve the scores.

[Kugyince]

1. Seahawk (2,949,250) & Tenser (1,435,650) = 4,384,900
2. Folgey (1,952,500) & Cam (1,525,400) = 3,477,900
3. EnemyAce (2,077,300) & Wolf (1,322,150) = 3,399,450
4. David (1,139,750) & TMT (435,500) = 1,575,250

Wolfman and Davidman have been eliminated.

[CatalystiCam]

phew, that's a load off!

good work everyone, I enjoyed the game and sorry to wolfman & David, I know you tried hard wolfman.

That game was fun, I'm glad I got the chance to play it, although excessively I learned it quite well and can beat most of it without dying it's just the last level I have yet to learn.

That was fun, good luck to all in the next round.

Question - if a losing pair tie - as in a team submits two zeros - what should happen? Does the team pick who they bench?

[Wolf]

the team should pick since there is no player with a greater score

[Slime Slayer]

I'd say let the team decide who they want to send home, if they are both inactive it shouldn't matter anyway.

[Winnebagel]

Question - if a losing pair tie - as in a team submits two zeros - what should happen? Does the team pick who they bench?

If a team submits two zeros it is probably something done on purpose. I could understand one, but two seems a bit excessive. Why should a team that does this kind of thing be rewarded? I would think the other teams should choose who they lose to prevent these types of shenanigans.

[Slime Slayer]

Copy and pasted from page one:


If a solo player survives a round or gets first place then they can call in a benched player.

There seems to be a little confusion, wolfman a nd davidman are listed as "eliminated" is this different that "benched"?
Also, does submitting 1 score from a team of 2 count as solo? Like if one of the pair doesn't submit a score?

[Wolf]

so would I be in it if a solo player on my team wins or no?

I wouldnt excatly call it "rewarded", they have two players that are not active, I don't see the harm in letting them selecting what one to bench, and what one stays, based on who they think is more likely to become active before the end of the contest.

Although last night in chat Ten suggested that they might both get benched.

I think I know what you are saying, but it does seem to be a forced loss in a round if there are two zeros. I think this kind of thing should not be encouraged is all I'm saying.

If someone manages to win a round all by them-self that is a big accomplishment and so someone combining with them in that case is a reward.

Losing on purpose is a different case I think. It would just seem to be unfair (to the player being dropped) and not really sportsmanlike in my opinion.

If someone loses a round on purpose just to drop a player and then re align with someone different (which is the only reason I can think of why someone would do this) it would just seem underhanded somehow. I can understand if someone is busy and can't submit a score, but both just seems like it is a tactic.

[Slime Slayer]

I just see it as strategy, its not right to do it with 2 active players, but my partner is mia.

I'm not saying I'm going to do it btw, it was just an example.

[Kugyince]

Benched and Eliminated players are different.

Your benched player can join a solo player team at any time.

An eliminated player requires a solo player to win to be called back.

Example: Davidman was eliminated on team EC leaving TMT a solo team. EC can merge their bench (Oasis) with TMT to create a team if they wish or leave TMT as a solo team.

If I won POW and my partner didnt submit a score, would that count as solo?

[Kugyince]

No.

Though we could take a team captain vote on it.

[Kugyince]

Reminder:

The new game is: Retro Uprising - Arcade - P.O.W. - Prisoners of War (US) (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/5998/)

Team captains, please post your pairing or any objections you might have by 11:41pm EST. The first roll to close this game will happen no earlier than Saturday,11:42pm EST.

I will update the first post.

[Kugyince]

Scores will only count if submitted by the pair that the team captain posts and after the captain posts the pair and before the round is over.

Emphasis mine

[Kong]

Jable & Brawl will be playing for MegaMen. I am posting for Joz.

Did we come to an agreement on changing the dice rule? My captain roll idea was vetoed right?

@Double zeros. If your partner is MIA and you submit any score and they submit a zero and you get last place then you are kicked off while your partner gets to stay.

That seems harsh, but that is how I intended the rules to be. The question being asked is if you know that is going to happen then can you submit a zero on purpose to avoid it.

I originally intended to say in case of tie both are benched. I forgot to put that in the rules, so I am asking for everyone opinion since it needs to be covered.

It might be better for the contest if we design it so we kick the dead weight off right away instead of rewarding the no shows. But I don't think that is in line with the original intent of the rules. So I am undecided.



@Eliminated, I had it in mind that players were benched each round and there was no difference in benched and eliminated and that for a benched player to be called in they would have to have a solo player survive a round. Dose everyone prefer what Tenser thought was the rule or what I thought?

[Slime Slayer]

I think that members that are eliminated should be able to be brought back.

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

Dojah and Silverminer going in for VB.

[Kong]

The only difference in what Tenser and I are saying is he thought the first person you benched could be brought in as soon as you had a solo player to match up with him. I thought he would be treated the same as everyone else and could not come in until a solo player survived a round.

[Kugyince]

All of Jable and Brawl's scores submitted after 9pm will be accepted.
All of Dojah and Silver's scores submitted after 9:11pm will be accepted.
I'll update the first post.

[Winnebagel]

Gamenguru and Winnebagel will play for EC this round.

It is 9:36 pm EST.

[CatalystiCam]

what about being solo? Wouldn't you HAVE to get second or better? getting third or fourth would bean elimination anyways, right?

[Tails]

Yes Cam, you have to score an obvious first with a major lead to stand a chance.

[Dudebro]

I'm a little confused but I am not in favor of bringing back eliminated players so easily. This already seems like it could be a long contest and allowing the eliminated people to come back seems like it would just compound that to an annoying degree.

[Wolf]

would you still say that if you were elimated dudebro

[Winnebagel]

I'm a little confused but I am not in favor of bringing back eliminated players so easily. This already seems like it could be a long contest and allowing the eliminated people to come back seems like it would just compound that to an annoying degree.

I'm in the same boat. If you could do the solo thing and beat everyone else on your own and could then resurrect your team mate that would be cool. It wouldn't be cool to lose on purpose so you could bring in someone else.

[CrispyChicken]

What are the standings for this round so far?

[TrakMastaTom]

I am not in favor of bringing back eliminated players so easily.

You know the odds of one person beating two peoples combined scores is next to none, right? I wouldn't call that easy and I will be surprised if it happens even once in this contest.

[tanc24]

Wow, I've missed a lot in the past few hours.

In regards to double zeros - If that happens I suggest you let the losing team make the decision of who gets eliminated. I don't see any strategy that would benefit from having two non-scores. The only way I see double zeroes happening is if you had two non-active teammates that had to fill slots.

In short, we should eliminate the dead weight first.

Regarding the eliminated/benched discussion. I have no opinion just yet because I don't fully understand the difference.

As for what is considered a "solo" score, only a one-person team should be counted as solo. Not a one person highest score and a zero. That kind of situation could bring underhanded strategy into play. My vote would be you have to be truly "solo" to bring back a player.

I could be wrong, but I am expecting a dice roll at any moment.

[Dudebro]

would you still say that if you were elimated dudebro
It may be hard to believe but yes I would.

I wasn't clear enough before, going into this I thought the only way to bring people back was a solo win which is difficult and deserving of a bonus. It's not impossible and I'm sure it's gonna happen a few times as the contest gets down to the end. The alternative just seems too easy, maybe I'm not understanding something. I was talking about eliminated not being the same as benched.

[CatalystiCam]

but being on your own is so much harder, it wouldn't happen often and it is a great acheivment worthy of resurrection.

[Dudebro]

Are you talking to me? I'm in favor of the solo win = resurrect teammate thing. I'm not in favor of eliminated players being the same as benched players.

[TrakMastaTom]

I don't think eliminated is the same as benched. This is how I understand the rules:

A benched player is in the contest, and when a participating player gets eliminated, the benched player can substitute in for that player. If that benched player goes on to be eliminated, they are then out of the contest.

An eliminated player is not in the contest. The only way they can come back is if someone on their team who's team mate has been eliminated and therefore they are the only submitting a score for the round, puts up a score that doesn't get them eliminated.

[Kugyince]

Thank you. I thought the concept was simple.

[Dudebro]

I thought it was too, sorry if I contributed to the confusion with my confusion.

[Kong]

I am logging into chat now to roll the die.

@Double Zeros. My team thought we might have someone not show up. That would mean we would have to submit 1 zero and probably get last place. Since we had last place the person that didn't show up would be spared but the person that did submit would be benched. The reason for asking was so we could use the strategy of submitting two zeroes and kicking the no show off.

Unless someone disagrees, I am going to say the rule is what I originally meant to write but forgot to, If your team submits two zeros both people are benched.



Most of you seem to be confused and wrong about the benching rule.


The only way you can call an eliminated person back into the game is by a single person winning the right.

That is not changing.

Tenser thought the rule was that the very first person that was benched - the person that was never in a pair - could be combined with a solo person to make a new pair. That is not what I had in mind when I wrote the rules but since Tenser was helping and he thought it was part of the rules I opened this up for debate.

Since this is causing more confusion than it is worth, I am just going to say I am right, since my way more simple.

So - If you are on the bench, you can not come in unless a solo person gets first place or second place. If there are only 3 teams left then the solo person must get first place.

The confusion is some people think bench and eliminated are two different things and that benched means they can come in at any time. That is not true. To the confused people - think of the 9th member on your team as being eliminated - not benched.


EDIT
(01:19:38) ChatBot: Kong rolls 1d4 and gets 4.

[Winnebagel]

Kong, I am okay with the proposal of a double zero benching the whole team, but I am still a bit confused I think. If both get benched, one can be brought in is a solo person gets the highest score? That's the only way correct or wrong?

---------- Post added at 02:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 AM ----------

Sorry I never answered on the die proposal either. I agree that the rollers should be you and Tenser. That means less rolls, but a better solution overall.

[TrakMastaTom]

I have a question for mods. It wouldn't affect the round, but it's still a concern.

I submitted a score in the 600,000 range. It claimed it went through on my browser. Did it not get approved for some reason, or not actually go through? I'm 100% sure it was submitted and said it went through. Did anyone see it?

I did not see it.

We're asking that any game mods that submit a score afterwards go through and approve all the scores including their own. So for this contest only you're allowed to approve your own scores. This is to ensure a quickly updated high score board that all participants can check over.

Ah. I assumed the opposite would be true and I shouldn't be approving my own scores.

Anyway, Kong e-mailed me and we didn't exactly get it figured out but it's all good. I'm going to assume I didn't actually get confirmation or something really weird happened.

Is this one of your alternate accounts Hawk? I think we have a spy in our ranks!!! :p

Gamedog did a nice job, but he ruined the surprise and made us show our hand early. We were wanting to wait a bit to beat the game because Jable and Brawlmaster have been doing really well. We didn't want to discourage them or anyone else from playing anymore (don't underestimate Jable or Brawl. I think they may just beat it before too long as well).

Gamedog may have found it too easy (:snicker:), but I think P.O.W. is a fun game anyway. I think he may have been joking though since I saw him playing it for hours last night. :q

Good effort GameG-d whoever you are.

[Gamenguru]

Hmm... Guess I tend to be a little more of an agnostic myself.

[Winnebagel]

And it looks like GameGod is back in the fray to get it back! Bagel, is he the one who lets you into "gamer's heaven" :p?

No. I suspect he might be a false God. A great player, but a false God. I can't claim to be an expert, as I have been known to unfortunately associate with agnostics and unbelievers, but I think he's not because his comment on the high score did not seem benevolent enough to be from a real god. A real god would not have tried to put other people down. :(

By the way, this is the guy who lets people into gamer heaven Seahawk. Here is just a taste of heavenly glory.

Have fun guys!

[Slime Slayer]

Anyone know how to get the coleco controls to work? I had this problem when I used to play time pilot on coleco. I can map the buttons no problem, but whenever I try to map the joystick it never works. The only way I can get it to work is if I leave it at the default arrow keys.

[Kugyince]

The Coleco control emulation isn't spot on. You can not roll the joystick easily. It helps to recenter before changing directions.

Example: Normally to move from left to up in Mr. Do! you would would roll the joystick from left, to up/left, to up. You can't do that effectively under this emulator and instead should release left then press up. This is why it's easier for you to play with the arrow keys instead of a D-pad or analog stick.

[Slime Slayer]

Well, my issue is that they are not working at all if I change them from the arrow keys, I tried mapping up to the "h" key and it still didn't work.

[elrod21]

I have a question. I noticed in the rules it mentioned that if your team has two solo players they can join together as a new team.

My question is, does a Solo player have to survive a round to qualify for that, or is just having two solo players on a team enough?

[Tails]

Thought that would of been your Bench? IE Fungus.

[Kong]

A solo player does not have to survive a round to create a new pair.

Example Elrod and Dojah can choose to play solo or to team up and create a new pair.

Fungus is benched and can not play until after a solo player wins.

[TrakMastaTom]

Yeah, I hadn't checked the scores in a minute.

Yeah BlueJ!!!

[Tails]

[Slime Slayer]

Nice score BJ, you'd better keep playing though cause I'm going to destroy it in the morning.

Very impressive Steven.

[Slime Slayer]

Doh! I just submitted a great score, but my score wasn't on screen!

Thanks Jozz.

[joz]

Yeah I see that no score on screen shot of yours...that sucks. What was it anyways?

[CatalystiCam]

Right on, joz & timber!

Impressive steven, indeed.

[CrispyChicken]

Keep it up Joz and Timber!

@ Steven- Darn you! :P Impressive score.

[Slime Slayer]

What was it anyways?

It's a secret>:D.
Thanks for the compliments but this thing isn't over yet.

[Smittycal]

Everybodys score is AMAZING except mine:weep: ....I will tear my computer apart until I figure out what is up with my controlls >:D

Vengeance shall be mine computer!!>:D>:D>:D

Good job on everyone's scores though...this contest is very close.:nailbiting:

[Gamenguru]

That's right Smitty, you show that computer who's boss!:D

[Winnebagel]

Yeah, tell the computer it is runing the contest for you. Maybe that will get it to behave. ;)

[Smittycal]

Im going to get this thing to work lol...

Its just a little frustrating because I know I can score better than what I have, but Im not trying to make excuses or anything...I just want my comp working the way it used to lol..

Lets GO TEAM EC!!!

[Tails]

Ask bagel to buy you a new comp.

[tanc24]

WOW! DB came out of the shadows and took the gold.

That was just his warm-up round. He got hungry for some Hot Pockets and decided to quit. :}

[Dudebro]

Oh god don't even joke about hot pockets. I can't eat those things anymore.:sick: Let's say I was eating a salad. In reality I've been drinking too much mountain dew and eating nothing, the game comes first!

[Tails]

Why DB?

[Dudebro]

You mean about the hotpockets? Because they're like fastfood soaked in snot.

[tanc24]

Oh god don't even joke about hot pockets. I can't eat those things anymore.:sick: Let's say I was eating a salad. In reality I've been drinking too much mountain dew and eating nothing, the game comes first!

You mean THIS Mountain Dew? 8) I agree about the HotPockets. Nasty stuff. I'm sure JoeGrow would add that product to his list of "death foods".

[Dudebro]

Nah if I'm gonna drink soda it's gonna be real dew. The other flavors all taste weird imo.

@Dungeon master- Am I the only one who's getting a glitch where all the breakable/openable objects are shifted to the side? Some chests are literally off the map over pits, like the two layers aren't lined up right somehow. I had to ask because I can't imagine this is something on my end and I didn't see anyone mention it yet.

I seem to have it happen every two or three games. I think you just have to hit F5 to fix it. It's weird when it happens.

[joz]

It's been mentioned before I think. (not gonna look for it) But yeah, the layers don't match. I simply reload it until I get a good layer sync at the beginning.

[Dudebro]

Glad it's not just me. Yeah I also just reload when I see it. You can tell after the first room so it's not a big deal at all, just weird.

[elrod21]

That is weird. Gotta love glitches.

[Slime Slayer]

WOW! DB came out of the shadows and took the gold.

DB just likes to collect the muscle idols.

[joz]

[tanc24]

Heated competition for 3rd and 4th! Exactly 1,000 points separating the two. :o

That's like one piece of gold.

[Seahawk]

This contest is bringing out some awesome scores.

If we set up a "Score of the Year" contest I think a lot of them would come from this affair =).

[CatalystiCam]

where have I been? :O We were in first...

[Kugyince]

(21:56:18) ChatBot: Tenser rolls 1d3 and gets 1.

[Slime Slayer]

Good scores all around for the most part. I don't like being beaten by a girl, but I take solace in the fact I was going to decimate you next session, so it's all good.

[Tails]

Really great job guys, especially DB, Cassidy, BlueJ!

[Kugyince]

Bluej (1,687,760) + Smitty (525,710) = 2,213,470

Timberwolf and Dudebro will be benched.

Lestat will be benched for not submitting a score.

[Timber Wolf]

Good game everyone. DudeBro, StevenCassidy, BlueJ and Joz you guys were pretty amazing.

[Tails]

It really sucks DB's hardwork causes him to get out. :(

[Kugyince]

[/URL](22:18:29) ChatBot: Random challenge from Tenser. Quick, everyone go for the gold in [URL="http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/1055/"]DJ Boy (javascript:ajaxChat.deleteMessage(135875);)!

The first roll will be no earlier than 10:21pm EST.

[Slime Slayer]

I was surprised when DB came outta nowhere, I had him labeled as a sub-par gamer who really wasn't all that motivated to go for the competitive side of things. My hats off and apologies DB.

Have to say I did too, thought he was just blowing steam.

[Dudebro]

I wish I could be happy about this but I'm really not. It sucks to find out that all my time and effort was a waste. Have fun with the rest of the contest I guess.

[CatalystiCam]

... You did your best timber and joz. good job to everyone

[Winnebagel]

Good game everyone. DudeBro, StevenCassidy, BlueJ and Joz you guys were pretty amazing.

Agreed. Good job to all. This was a pretty close round. Everyone put in nice scores.

[joz]

Jable and Brawlmaster playing for the Mega Men!

[Slime Slayer]

Elrod and Enemy Ace for VB.
SC13 and Dojah are teaming up.

[Winnebagel]

Jojo and Tails in for EC this round.

[tanc24]

Billy Hoyle will be taking this one solo for the GOM.

[CrispyChicken]

What are the standings for the round so far?

[CatalystiCam]

can someone on my team replace me?

[Tails]

I doubt that.

[CatalystiCam]

Cicumstances suggest I won't be able to play a game on RU now for ages since I can't afford to pay $500

Virus writers need to go to hell... :(

[Dudebro]

can someone on my team replace me?
I don't think that would be fair. Take your zero and deal with it.

[CatalystiCam]

I thought I remember mention of replacements in events like this but if not, its ok.

[Dudebro]

I could be wrong but I don't think substitutions are fair during a contest. Didn't someone have to eat a loss because they got married? I think that trumps your situation.

[Tails]

Think Smitty.

[Slime Slayer]

Smitty played on his honeymoon lol.

[CatalystiCam]

he had a working computer he was allowed to play games on but wow, that is commitment, lol.

[Smittycal]

Yep lol....best honeymoon EVER! in a lot of ways! (keeps it pg in the room):q

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Plus at the moment my computer is ok...but I can only use keyboard on games...which SUCKS lol...

I did run into a nasty virus once. Im not sure if anyone remembers but I was out of action for a while. I ended up getting it fixed but it was bad. I also had my internet turned off for a while in there as well..I had to fight a lot of crud last year lol

I hope you get your computer working soon though:D

[Slime Slayer]

I watched a live on spike ufc sanchez vs. guida, hehe great night, hot tub include.

[CatalystiCam]

It seems relentless to continue not working... If anyone knows how to access a system recovery on a dell XP that would be great. That or get the arcade compatable with the wii :P
