Response to MARP Tournament - Rules Voting Thread + Current Status

from stephen krogman (skrogman@concentric.net)
I'm currently working on getting Twin Galaxies to help sponsor this tournement and furnish Pete (gameboy9) with all the necessary TG settings on games he's missing. I'm bringing up the settings being TG because that will allow the scores from the tournement to be published in the next edition of the book of world records as well as mentioned on their web page. Default can sometimes go both ways, unless it's selected by TG as the right settings on a particular game. I will list a few of my own opinions which I hope will help with this tournement.

1) NO CLONES! of any kind, bootlegs as well!!!! 2) All games set to TG settings, otherwise they will not be considered for the next edition of the book. 3) If a game that's been selected has appeared on Angry's voting page for banned game techniques, this also should apply for the tournement. 4) I don't want to take away anyone's right to vote on a certain game, but take into consideration, that games that use a paddle like arkanoid, are much harder to use with a mouse and most players probably don't have the controls to play this game on which will give a hugh edge to the one or two players that have such a controller. Allthough I think German Krol has done all his Arkanoid games with a mouse.... no-one else including myself (and I have the world record!) can come close to what he can do with a mouse. Hand out some paddle controllers, and that's a different story.

Regards, Steve Krogman
