Gyruss 5 men only.

[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!

[QRS]

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.

A marathon game? I wish I could marathon it!

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?

[roncli]

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."

[QRS]

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
