Bombjack-vote!

QRS · Post by **QRS** » Thu Nov 22, 2001 12:30 pm

I don´t know if I have the right to make a public vote on a game, but I´ll try

I would like to suggest Bombjack beeing set to a 5man only game.



Settings would be TG (or harder)



Why? Because it´s a marathon game on ANY settings as long as you don´t have a 5 men rule.



After playing the deca 2001 I found out that its much more fun, and more of a challange to play the game that way. The recordings will be about 5-10 times shorter and maybe even fun to watch!

Anyway I vote for a 5man rule with TG or harder.
Please say either "yes" or "no"



ps:If any of you editors have anything against me setting up this vote-post feel free to take over the vote etc.



Otherwise.. let the votes begin!



Regards



QRS

Eh? I'm curious where that says that Tommi... I need to change that -
anybody can post a vote - but the rules coordinator can reject a
vote if and only if it's unrealistic.



On that note, heck yeah - aye!

Aye. I just love the fact that my vote only got 2 votes (Innuendo's
was after, so it doesn't count) and this one gets many more

I
guess that shows how many people hate Bosconian.

I vote to keep Bombjack as it is. To impose a 5 life limit on the
game is artificial (there are no DIP settings to enforce this) and is
not in the spirit of playing the game in a real arcade and going for
your high score. Yes it is a marathon game.



I would like to see a 5 life Bombjack game entry at MARP though, just
put it under another name like 'bombjack-5lives' or something.



Cheers, LordGaz

Excellent idea LordGaz

I propose for all games there was change of settings as Bomb Jack,
Ghosts'n Goblins (if it pass to 5 lives)or Bosconian to make 2
entries, one will be the default one for all players, and one
dedicaced for the elite one with 5 lives.



And so, everybody will be happy

Gary, Francois:


I suggested moths ago that Bombjack would be splitted into a marathon
(like now) and a 5men only.



There is a rule on marp though, (wich Pat can tell more about)
There is no way that Bombjack will be splitted int two games it
seems

Pat please fill in the details for this can you? I don´t remember
exact WHY Bombjack (and other games like this) would not be splitted.



Choosing from a marathon game vs 5men only I prefer 5men only.



just my 2 cents.

But if we can have o1-ghouls entry, why we can't have ghouls-5lives ?
It's an exemple

No Francois, I think it's more of a "Then everyone would want to have
another listing on this game, or an extra listing just for TG, etc."
Which would just give the better player another 100 points for the
leaderboard.

You make a point, Joey

I haven't think of the 100 points.

Basically, if a game can be easily marathoned, then a vote should take
place to change the scoring for MARP. Alas, here we are and I vote
yes! If the motion is passed, then all scores are reviewed and
adjusted to 5-lives only and then stated as such in the comments.
Note that re-recording INPs is not required AND marathon scores will
be accepted, however for the purposes of tracking the MARP
leaderboard, only 5 lives scores will count. Furthermore the game will
NOT be split to accomodate marathoning. A marathoned game is for
other scoreboards such as Mark Longridge's MAME WR scoreboard at
http://cubeman.vg-network.com/ If you're curious about a similar game
that has successfully undergone this rule change (no dip switch for 5
lives) check out Q*bert...

Also, on the subject of splitting these... Some people (myself
included) will remember when Magical Drop 2/3 were split seven ways
instead of the current three. Needless to say, this made it a lot
easier for someone good at the general concept to get 1400 LB
points. Now that's been reduced by 800... so it's better, I
suppose. Just figured I'd contribute against splitting games into
marathon and five-life sets.
