Baron of the Bemani Bordello: July 23rd is a gogogogo
Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 3:34 pm
I had this idea stew in my head Saturday night while watching Dexter. Obviously, this is merely a suggestion, but all this competition talk lately as got me hankering for some Bemani afternoon delight. Here's what I'm proposing:
Let's have a weird little Bemani Olympics at Brian's house. Everybody who participates competes on one song (chosen at random) on each Bemani game one time. After everyone plays, we'll compare everyone's scores against each other for that particular game. We'll do points Mario Kart style where first gets 3, second gets 2, third gets 1, and everyone else gets zero. After all games are played, the person with the most points wins, the winner gets to pick where we all go to lunch/dinner.
For example, We do a random song selection on IIDX and Colors get selected and the EX scores go as follows:
1100 - Amp
1078 - Daniel Renner
1045 - Merk (because he just can't win)
Thus, Amp now has a score of 3, Daniel has 2, Merk 1, and everyone else has none.
Now, we move on to Keyboard Mania and Pink Rose gets selected. The Perfect count scores go as follows:
125 - Ho
100 - Merk
75 - Amp
Ho now has 3, Merk now has 3, and Amp now has 4. Everyone else has none except for Daniel who has 2.
We finish out each game in a similar fashion and when Daniel Renner inevitably wins he'll tell us that we're going to some Korean place for dinner! Yay!
Ties are bound to happen, in the event of a tie the tied players will score attack Pac-Man to determine a winner.
Difficulty level (light, standard, heavy, normal, hyper, another, etc) will be agreed upon by all participants for each game. This is a gentlemen's competition and we'll accommodate even the most fledgling players.
In games where there is no random song select, each player will verbally pick a number between 1 and 20 with no two numbers being picked consecutively. For each number we will move the song select cursor either right or left for each number verbalized. So let's say 15, 7, 13, and 4 are picked. We'll move the cursor to the right 15 spaces, left 7 spaces, 13 right, and 4 left. Whatever song gets highlighted is the song that we'll all play. I like to call this collective randomization!
WHO: Anyone who wants to play.
WHAT: A fancy way of combining hanging out, eating, and playing music video games.
WHERE: Brian's Bemani Bordello. This is really the only feasible place to hold this.
WHEN: At Brian's convenience. Preferably on a weekend.
WHY: Because sometimes you need someone to tell you where to go to lunch. But that person needs to earn that right!
HOW: With the help of all your internet friends.
Meh. Let me know what you think.
