In if you need more DKF folks

Same^
Maybe Allen will join and represent Highscore,com
Cough .... "Traitor!"....

We need as many people as we can get,
RU team is up to 15 already so hopefully we can atleast match that.
If anyone knows of another sites that may be interested pass the info along.
The more teams the better.

Whtda. I'd play in whatever if someone else does all the prep/setup stuff and I can just go to their place and play a game or whatever I'm supposed to do for something. Summer is a difficult time for a weekly commitment as my work schedule is rough and I usually try to take some time off as well. If I could go somewhere and do everything I need to in one day, maybe Ethan's place or something, I'd try and do that.
-
You can play on RU Steve or your own mame setup. :D
Ok I'll try this count me in but my summer will be a little hectic so not sure when/how I can play. 4th of July the week after im pretty much out.
-
Oh my bad, I thought it was a streaming thing.
-
I'll join if its ok with everyone! I want to be apart of DKF! :-). I am apart of RU as well but I want to chose DKF! :-). If everyone can help me with what games or anything that I would need to help out or anything! :-).

Barra, ebinsugewa, chrisp(unless it's a different chrisp), and QAOP Spaceman all have posts here but are playing for RU. Is that their choice of team or did they just sign up via RU? 20 people v 9 people is a stacked contest. <Pigger>

different chrisp this is ru chrisp http://www.retrouprising.com/members/chrisp/ (http://www.retrouprising.com/members/chrisp/)

to make the scoring easier to understand
I might cap the amount of games to 3 and do a rotation
Week One Scenario:
Site A has 20 participants and picked Galaga as their selection.
Site B has 50 participants and picked Bosconian as their selection.
Site C has 30 participants and picked Zoo Keeper as their selection.
Each team now must qualify with five scores on each of the above games. It does not matter how many player scores a site submits on each game as only the top five scores for each site qualify. These top five qualifying scores are now ranked against the other sites top five qualifying scores. Team score is based on rank tally with the lowest score tally winning the round.
Should a team fail to submit five scores on each game, missing submissions will automatically receive last place rank. In the above scenario, last place rank with three teams would be 15.
At the end of week one the standings might look like this for Galaga:
Galaga:
1 point - 2,000,000 - submission 1 site a
2 points - 1,800,000 - sub 1 site c
3 points - 1,700,000 - sub 2 site a
4 points - 1,600,000 - sub 3 site a
5 points - 1,500,000 - sub 4 site a
6 points - 600,000 - sub 5 site a
7 points - 550,000 - sub 2 site c
8 points - 500,000 - sub 3 site c
9 points - 450,000 - sub 1 site b
10 points - 400,000 - sub 4 site c
11 points - 350,000 - sub 5 site c
12 points - 300,000 - sub 2 site b
13 points - 250,000 - sub 3 site b
14 points - 200,000 - sub 4 site b
15 points- 150,000 - sub 5 site b
Site A received points for 1st place, 3, 4, 5 and 6th place for a total of 19 points.
Site B received points for 9th place, 12, 13, 14 and 15th place for a total of 63 points.
Site C received points for 2nd place, 7, 8, 10 and 11th place for a total of 38 points.
Overall team scores for Galaga:
Site A - 19
Site C - 38
Site B - 63
Now repeat the above for Bosconian and Zoo Keeper to obtain the total week scores for each team.
Continue on to week two and repeat.

Yeah, I didn't know DKF was going to have a team. I thought it would probably just be shmups and RU. I'll play here.

Sign me up c",)

I'ma stay with Team RU though with my dubious skills I doubt if I'll be troubling anyone with a top 10 score, let alone a top 5 one :)
As far as stacked contests go <Pigger> I'm pretty sure this one has no phantom participants <blinky> and I don't think you have to pay 25 cents every time you play on Mame ;)
-
I'm in :)
-
Wow, I am part of both groups RU and here! This groups 5 weeks of games picks should be pretty easy.
Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior, Donkey Kong 3, Donkey Kong II, and Crazy Kong! <Roy>
-
I probably have to play since there's a chrisp on the other team.
Loser has to legally change their actual name to Stink Buttercrotch.

Its a different chrisp. AFAIK there are 3 Chris Ps around! Change your names! <Roy>
RU still has double the players, but quantity doesnt mean much as every team has at least 10 so far.

Put me in for Team DKF. Just don't expect me to play any Konkey Dong. <thefinger> I'm sure you guys will have that covered.

Kreygasm love it! Team DKF is looking pretty damn strong, this should be fun :- )!

Love RU but I'll put my efforts in for DKF

Paolo Colman has requested to join Team DKF. Kreygasm Put him on the list!
-
We need to have players start nominating some games, and then perhaps we can utilize a poll to make our final selections.
I'll play whatever games you guys choose, so long as they do not suck. Kappa
-
Intrepid hype?
Wait, which team am I on again? Kappa
-
Yeah, I'd love to know what games we are targeting so I can get some practice in. Should we create a back-channel chat for this or are we not concerned about "spies"?

Fffftttt the tournament is like a month long. We're moving to Japan and may not have reliable Internet during that time...but I'm still playing.
-

Personally, I could care less if the other teams know which games we'll be selecting from DKF. What's important to me is that the DKF players are collectively in agreement about our selections, or at least in agreement about the selection process.
Additionally, I've heard Aussie arcade is openly discussing its selections, and that there is a high probability Bump n Jump will be chosen by them. This is fine. I'm not going to start grinding on Bump n Jump a week early. I have other games I'd rather be playing and a month is more than enough time to compete.
If others are genuinely concerned about the non-DKF sites spying on us, we could simply leave the poll open until we are required to submit our selections. The only problem with this selection process is that Mitch will nominate Burgertime and Barra will vote it up Kappa
For starters, here are some games I wouldn't mind jamming on for a month's time: Tutankham, Moon Patrol, and Frogger.
Now, I don't expect any of those games to make our list because the rest of you may hate them, but we need to start the discussion.
EDIT:
The only problem with this selection process is that Mitch will nominate Burgertime and Barra will vote it up Kappa
Actually, Barra won't vote it up because it would be sabotaging himself as well. We can easily regulate the game nominations to DKF players only, but I don't think we can easily restrict voting to DKF players only, so don't nominate Bullfight ;)

You're correct, we have pretty much decided to discuss it publicly, or as public as it can be without people freely registering on our forum (www.aussiearcade.com.au (http://www.aussiearcade.com.au) <--- please join us if you like, we're not just for Aussies - we also run several mean retro arcade comps each year in the MGL - Mame Gaming League!). For the record, I doubt Bump 'n' Jump will be nominated by us, only two of us really love the game :)
This tournament is going to be great fun, rivalry aside, it's about getting all the CAG communities together in some good old arcade fun :)
-
2 quick questions
1) I think you mentioned screenshots are allowed? Which is good because it brings me to my 2nd question
2) I prefer to use dedicated arcade machines where possible so can we do that in addition to MAME?
-

How did I know this would be brought up?! ;D No worries, though, as I will not be partaking in this event, as well as I do want DKF to do well, so there will be no sabotaging being done by me. :)

Wolfman who's organising this may want to confirm but he did say "yes" over the weekend to both 1) and 2)
Good luck in finding a Speed coin cab ;)
-
Sounds good Ross. I personally wasn't concerned about spies but didn't want to start posting game suggestions if others felt strongly.
+1 for Tut, I'm getting close to beating level 3 but worst case I can put up a score in the mid 40k range.
If we are considering old console games, I can easily play through Contra NES multiple times w/o using a continue. Last time I played, I stopped at 3 million/4th play-through out of boredom. I'm planning to go for the max score at some point.
I'm "ok" at the popular usual suspects (Zoo keeper, galaga, the pac games...etc) but I'm sure there are others much better. I'm cool with whatever the group decides. <pacman> <blinky>

I'll throw my name in the hat to be part of Team DKF as well. I love RU and would be happy to play for them instead, but given the number of players on each team right now, it probably makes more sense to join Team DKF to keep the names more balanced.
I'm probably not going to have that much time to play though, so I'm not expecting great scores.

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to contribute, but team DKF all the way baby Kreygasm

I can't make it for this tournament! Sorry! I might have family plans or am busy! :-(.
Please can someone clarify if there are cash prizes or mystery bounties for this and how to claim them? Just so we are all on the same page and there are no misunderstandings...
Or is this just for "fun"?

just for fun no prizes

Contest revisions:
Due to heavier than anticipated interest and numerous players bringing up many concerns, the following is a list of changes for this contest. While we appreciate that some players may or may not agree to everything here, we think these changes will make for a better overall tournament that the majority of players will enjoy. Due to the date at hand, there will be no further changes to this contest.
1. - Selected games will be played for the entire five week period
2. - Each team will choose four games – send your game selections to Wolf no later than June 30th. Wolf will inform all sites of game selections upon receipt of selections. Should duplicate game selections be received, the team with the highest number of registered players will yield to the team with the smaller number of players. The smaller team will select another game. Wolf will advise of all details once final list of games have been posted. Once games are selected and posted by Wolf, players not already registered on a site are no longer eligible to play. Existing site members may join (eliminates ringers). Games will be played with default dip switches
3. - Auto fire is not allowed
4. - Adjudication – we all know or know of each other generally speaking so there should be no need for this. Players are encouraged to save their INPs for all game play. Disputes (if any) will be handled on a case by case basis and reviewed by all sites.
5. - Submissions: players should submit their scores via this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1r42iti-MjMky5tPygMVihY7isdUouyxUT3XHof1yB_I/viewform?edit_requested=true – as we want to maintain as live a scoreboard as possible, please submit early and often. Please do not hold on to score submissions.
6. - All games must be completed and submissions received no later than 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time on August 5th. Any scores submitted after this time will not be valid. Again, submit early and often.
Looking forward to an awesome tournament!

Any questions, write vgwolfman@yahoo.com
-
Thanks for organizing this, Wolf.
Just to be clear with the acceptable methods of gameplay:
-Arcade with streaming
-WolfMAME with INP save
-RU website
-
Yeah not sure if Steve can stream on a cab is that a requirement?
Also are we talking 20 games now to play in one month? Wow that is a lot of titles :)
Dan
-
20 games is a lot but once we start splitting the workload around I reckon maby 4-5 each and we should be good,
Depending on games this should be enough to do some damage on the scoreboard
-
Yeah not sure if Steve can stream on a cab is that a requirement?
I added that assuming it was similar to DKF rules but perhaps a screenshot is ok. I'm sure Wolfman will clear it up for us.
-
True if its DK and CK I should be able to get at least 900k and 600k respectively. that has to amount to something :D
-
even though i mentioned to save the inp incase of disputes the chance of a dispute are so slim since we are all known and i doubt anyone will want to have a dispute, and another point about the use of arcades cabs you can use them if you can find one in your area
-
cool, I have a DK and 60-1 cab at home. I'd prefer to play on those if any of those games are in the mix. Otherwise, RU it is.
-
sign me up :D
-
I was encouraged to sign up so throw my name on there and I will see what I can do in July
-
So it looks like AA have decided
Looks like we're done and dusted then?
Bomb Jack, BnJ, Road Fighter and Pooyan.
So Colman, I'm guessing you have Bomb jack covered :)
I'm sure there is a few here that can play Pooyan,
AA will win Bump and jump but we should be able to get a few good places ie top 10.
And road fighter I don't know anything about.
-
Colman has broken 1m on pooyan too
-
1m? Nice. I can probably do 300-500k on pooyan.
Dan
-
So it looks like AA have decided
Looks like we're done and dusted then?

Or was this just a clever ploy? Do you think we would really discuss our games in public like this? or do you think maybe we put up a fake topic.... ah the mind games <thefinger>

Your an Aussie and so am I, and obviously being aussies we are two lazy to go to that kind of trouble :)
-
Any way I can be added to the team?

Mike Kasper is very good at Pooyan too. Maybe someone can drag some tips out of Paul Kearns for Bomb Jack.
-
So we play bombjack BnJ pooyan and road fighter?
My high on pooyan is 1721750pts
Bomb jack i am good but kernzy smash my high score time ago
BnJ never play,road fighter little bit

Not yet,
That's just what aussie arcade have been talking about picking.
We should know the final games soon.

We are arcade pro! :)

Bomb jack i am good but kernzy smash my high score time ago
This is also a guy (chrisbo) playing for our team (AA) who is a gun at Bomb Jack too - should be a good fight between the three of you.
It will be an interesting competition, having the best player on any single title won't really make much difference IMO, it will be all about who has the best all round team - having one player smash a game doesn't mean much if the next best 4 from that team are right down in the rankings.

The Gates Are Opened
[/size]
IGB Update June 30th, 2014
Players may play on MAME, stream from arcade cabinets, or play on the RU site (using score mode and submitting completed games). Players not playing on the RU site should retain INPs or streams in the event questions arise. Screen shots are acceptable, though discouraged unless no other means is available (an example: a player is unable to stream at an arcade so they capture a screen shot). It is up to the player or individual team to manage their screenshots or files. Please do not send these files to us unless requested
As a reminder, this is an honor system tournament. Play accordingly and with generally acceptable rules in mind. If in doubt as to what is and is not legal, ask. Sites are encouraged to ensure that their player submissions are in line with player capabilities. Disputes with game play (if any) will be reviewed on a case by case basis by all sites. Let’s make every effort to avoid disputes for everyone’s sake.
Submissions are for games played within the contest time frame. Please submit early and often so we may maintain an up to date, live as possible scoreboard. Please do not hold on to scores. Scores may be submitted for each team using the following links:
Donkey Kong Forums use this https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1r42iti-MjMky5tPygMVihY7isdUouyxUT3XHof1yB_I/viewform?edit_requested=true
Please note:
• We do not have a hosting solution at this moment so at times google docs may crash or not respond. Should this occur, refresh the page.
• Players will need to submit scores via form for the score to be validated, otherwise expect a day turn-around to see the score updated.
• If you have any score related problems, contact Wolf

Copy/pasted from other thread:
Side note on 19xx, since I played it a bit for a previous tournament (though I'm not great at it):
If you don't get S rank on the first boss (kill it in 10 seconds or less if I recall), just restart. The multiplier that S rank gives you is one of the major sources of points in the game. You can get around a million pretty easily just by learning the first two levels or so and freestyling most of it. This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y61blKkuB4k (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y61blKkuB4k) is a good introduction on how to play the game

Good looks, thanks Ethan. It seems like the spreadsheet is messed up though - both of my scores submitted fine on the DKF tab, but don't appear on the main tab.

IGB Contest Revision: As of this date, as we are one week into a five week contest, no new player additions will be added for any team. This is a revision from "existing site members" may join at any time. this was supposed to be a rule but we never caught during review
-
due to the max out trick in nitroball do you guys want to remove the game or everyone get max points
-
or 3rd option ban the technique
-
imho remove the game from the list,no problem.
i discovered the technique by miself,and honestly I loaded the highest score without waiting
-
I'm fine with removing it as well and not having to play it. :)
-
Congratulations to Team DKF. You guys have some great players while being consistent. Team RU thanks you for pretending like we had a late run in the makings. You all quickly squashed that pipe-dream. Thank you for your participation in this tourney. A big thank you goes out to all of you who played in the tourney. Hopefully, most, if not all of you hit personal milestones and/or goals and maybe a new online buddy or two. We hope you all had some sort of enjoyment engaging in our competition and if we decide to more forward with a second season - that you all come back. In the spirit of "what ifs", expect some changes that should make for a more interesting second season.
Thank you again.
Chris
-
Great stuff Chris (TIF). You put up some awesome scores. It was a great competition and a lot of fun! Even if I did have a lot of rage sometimes it was great. Everyone did great on all the teams and I hope it continues!
-
Thank you for your participation in this tourney. A big thank you goes out to all of you who played in the tourney.
TIF, I think we all owe you a big thanks (and max and wolf, of course) for handling the scoreboard and other logistical stuff. You're a hell of a player and it was great fun watching you and the other heavyweights from all the teams crush these games.

I had a great time and appreciate the time and effort you guys put into this. I would definitely continue to represent team DKF for a second season. Well done, everyone!

It was an amazing tourney and I really appreciate the time and work that went into this. I had a blast and got to meet some great people from the other teams. Congrats to all the players and a huge thanks once again!!!
-
I had a great time. Played some fun games I never heard of. Only one of my scores held up but I guess that's to be expected playing on a team of CAG hunks.
Big thanks to the organizers...you guys rocked it. Can't wait until next year.
-
As one who didn't have time to even participate in the tournament, I thank you for all the work organizing this. You guys did a great job and it was such a fun event to watch.
-
@danman123456 thank you, dan. I am a big baby when I game. I know that feeling.
@xelnia @pwnasaurus really appreciate that. Indeed it was fun to watch everyone pushing others to a given threshold.
We had some issues early with the scoreboard. It was very overwhelming and disheartening to see it crumble but persistence was key to negate the bad start.
Happy to hear many enjoyed the comp.
