[Final] Internet Gaming Bash of the Year [MAME]

[Cynicaster]

Count me in for the GameEx Goons!

I don't have much spare time this summer at all, but as mentioned, it sounds like the design of this tournament is such that contributions can be made based on availability.

I will say, there is no way in heck I'll be able to really dig into several different titles per week. But hopefully a few titles will pop up that I already have practice with and can make a contribution on those.

I think most of us have games where we have enough practice invested to be "much better than the average bear". Maybe we should all start sending in lists of such games to throw into a pool.

Glad to have you onboard Cynicaster! I know when it counts (i've seen you before, on other sites) you'll step it up! Let's have some more!

[Adultery]

I'd be willing to jump in, but TBH my time is extremely limited. I generally don't spend much time playing my cabinet. :'(

Jump when you can is all we're asking If you can wave your hands in the air like you just don't care, all the better

So what's the game gonna be? fyi I haven't played competitively in a while, and I don't really know how my skills match up as far as MAME games go. I'm decent at Killer Instinct 2 and Street Fighter, and pretty good with Shmups lol.

[Adultery]

F**k it. Count me in. I'll play as much as I can.

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/1nKeVeNNwVYJUR4qsnqXSg78Zvn3pmBbCyseElcKof9k/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!

@ Wolf > I have 2 questions:

1. We are encouraged to save our INP's. I know a lot of the contestants use a custom compiled MAME version (with high score support). If I use the "Play and Record Input" function of my MAME build it screws up my in-game high score tables > wrong scores / strange symbols etc. Is it really necessary to save an INP or will it suffice to save a screenshot of your high score (with your initals) ?

2. We have to submit our score through a google webform. We do not have to upload a screenshot of our high score or something like that ? It's just submit your name > game > score ?

3. - Auto fire is not allowed

Seeing as those are the non-negotiable rules, and i cannot physically abide by them, i hereby withdraw myself from the competition. I will still support y'all on the sidelines though and give any moral support i can!
