Gyruss 5 men only.

Post by QRS »

There are a lot of polls here, so I was thinking "Ahh what the heck here comes another one!" :)

Gyruss is a marathon game, and I propose that we change it into a 5 men game TG settings or harder. It worked very well in the deca2002.

Poll time is 7 days so let´s vote!

7 days is over, so I guess Gyruss is a 5 men TG or harder game now.

Over to you editors to update the rules etc.

Is 5 men too many?

Anders,

I was a day too late to get my vote in........ I wanted to vote for less than 3 men because I think 5 men is still going to make the games potentially too long.....

Still, 5 men is better than the current situation - saves me having to reclaim those Gyruss games that you took off me recently...... ;-)

Who's going to have the fun job of rescoring the current scores or do we simply wipe the slate on them and start again with 5 lives instead?

:?: Perhaps we have a problem here because QRS assumed TG settings was start with 5 men, but it is really start with 3 men bonus every 30K. What now? :?:

I think he meant to word it TG settings, except score 5 men only. Since TG settings is default settings, all that would need to be put in the special rules is just like Bombjack and Q*Bert: "Scoring is for 5 lives only." :)

Yes Roncli are correct.

When we played Gyruss in deca 2002 we just used 5 ships then we killed off the remaining ships. There is no way to set the ships to 5 only.

Things are the same as Bombjack, Ghost´s and goblins, qbert etc.

Cheers
