i am ready... i have studied the north dakota laws and put my lawyer on retainer... i watched every season of Fargo to get a sense for the people and the wildlife... i have hunted, trapped, skinned, and tanned several animals over the past year to create the gear i need to survive the winter, if necessary... i have stared into the eyes of a rabid raccoon for an uncomfortably long time... in short, i remain 1000% battle-ready for this event, and resolutely await the day a carrier pigeon flies thru my window with the gps coordinates.

if it's ON, I'm IN... cmon lets swap antibodies!

INCREDIBLE news on this front!

 

The Everdrive N8 Pro can now be linked while in a console to a computer via USB cable, so that files (ROMs, states, etc.) can be sent back and forth between the two.  This streamlines to a HIGH degree what used to be a laborious and TIME-consuming process of manually taking out the SD cards to transfer the files, etc.... which frustratingly caused lots of errors, and man alive did I mention it was TIME-consuming?

 

Big THANKS to @bruddog for making this possible with time spent helping tech-illiterates such as myself thru the process, also especially for the state converter posted in this thread...... and may the tecmo gods forever shine on @kamphuna8... this is FINALLY a vision come true for me, but it was a vision I had frankly given up on because of the endless frustration with the SD cards in the old N8's, etc.... but KAMP THE GRINDER never gave up, no sir, and upon THAT ROCK we build the city of CFT!... happiest of all for him, man, cant wait to see him push those CPU buttons at the next CFT season and see his face light up as he realizes how much MOAR FUN he's about to have by dropping all that goddamn SD card MANUAL LABOR shizness----- WOOOOOO!!!

 

PS---KRIKZZ FOR KING!

I do appreciate the props manyo.  Glad your still around my man.  I did enjoy our battles on the 8 bit gridiron back in the day.  Stay in touch friend.

 

haha, "battles"---- I never beat ya, larry, and it was never close----hell, i can probably count the mistakes you've made in all the tecmo games I've seen you play on one hand.....

 

anyway, embarrasing fact about me: I bought a PS a few years ago, and since then I've bought the Show the last two years running, and have played a total of ZERO games.... I think I took batting practice ONCE, so basically I've pissed ~$100 down the drain and not gonna succumb to my spring fever in that way again, I've promised myself.... but the DESIRE to play a great baseball game is there, no doubt, and if I ever find myself actually going down the path of actually playing the Show, I will look you up no doubt, brother------

sounds interesting, larry legend, but alas I just don't have the time right now to partake...... really I'm just here to say: YR STILL THE GOAT TECMO PLAYER!!!!!

 

best I've ever played, at least---

updated rules after a few were added or changed:

 

IN-GAME RULES:

• No rushing with WR or TE: Here is the breakdown as to who can play what position.  RBs can play RB, WR, or TE, and have no restrictions at these positions.  WRs can play RB, WR, or TE, but they may never run the ball from the running back position, only reverses from the wide receiver position.  TEs may play RB, WR, or TE, but they may never run the ball from the running back position, only reverses from the wide receiver position. 
  • Refer to the player’s data screen if there is a question as to what position a player is assigned.
  • Defensive re-alignments will not be permitted, OG-spots only.
• Ties: No such thing as a “tie” in this tournament. If a game ends in a tie after overtime, a new game will begin, and the first player to score ("sudden death") in the new game is the winner.  In this case, players must use the same playbooks as they had in the regulation game.  Also, whoever received the kickoff in the first overtime must kickoff in the 2^nd OT (the “new game”).
• Lurching: To "lurch" is to use one of your defensive linemen to dive in at the very beginning of the play and either sack the QB or tackle the RB before those plays really had a chance to develop. Lurching is prohibited.
• 4th Man Down: Using the LB1 (4th man down) to attempt to block Field Goals or Extra Points WILL be allowed at anytime during this tournament.
• Onside Kicks: Onside kicks are allowed at any time, in any situation.
• Coin Toss: For all you playa haters out there, you are free to skip the coin toss so long as the referee (is that you, @diceparser?) hasn't flipped the coin into the air yet.  If someone skips it AFTER the coin is in the air, then the other person gets to choose if they kick or receive, and reset the game if necessary.
• Full-Power Kickoffs: If "Player A" kicks a "full-power" kickoff, they reserve the right to ask "Player B" to go get them a drink before the next play.  If "Player B" refuses, then "Player A" reserves the right to SLAP "Player B's" controller out of their hand (aka a "slappie" cf. NORTH DAKOTA RULEZ) ONE TIME over the course of that same game.  NOTE: A "failed attempt" at a slappie is still a "slappie"... so make it count "Player A," and be on yr guard "Player B"... or shit, just get the dude a drink, "Player B"---he just powered out a full-meter kick, what are you, online tecmo trash?
• Halftime Cutscenes: If you skip the halftime cutscenes, shamanYo1080 will "spark an owl" and enter a meditational state where he walks with the tecmo gods and collaborates with them on the most devastating ways to fuck your tecmo fate to the seven heavens.
• MaLfUnCtIoNs: If a game is rendered unplayable after it has begun, either via equipment failure or unintentional human error… the players must reset and start another game and recreate the game up until the reset point, as accurately as possible (at the least: score, possession, yard line), and continue playing from there.

DATE: Saturday, December 28, 2019

 

PLACE: Centralia, WA – @ site tbd

 

SCHEDULE:

• SAT 10am—8pm(ish?): There are 10 games to be played in each Region (x4 Regions)… followed by 3 Final Four games… is it really too bold to think we can finish in 10 hours? and/or that we can begin at 10am? Maybe—we'll see.

 

FORMAT AND SHIT:

• DOCUMENT LINKS:
  • Ickey 2 Draft Rules and Shit
  • Ickey 2 Draft DOC
• HOW TO DO A STICKY ICKEY SHUFFLE:
  • 7-14 players (or: 28 players) will draft an equal number of OG tecmo teams (aka the Team Draft), in an order determined by dice rolls:
    • if 7 players: 4 teams each
    • if 8-9 players: 3 teams each
    • if 10-14 players: 2 teams each
    • if 28 players: 1 team each
  • after the Team Draft, then a Player Draft will commence, in which we do a bit of roster shufflin’ (see “Draft Rules and Shit” document above for more details on the drafting processes… for which there are rules, rules and more rules… more rules than you can shake a stick at, even… perhaps more rules than you’ve ever seen in your life!… just lotsa rules, man--we love this shit, rulez#)
  • all teams will be divided up equally into 4 Regions, each with its own TV/Everdrive station
  • each Region will consist of an intramural double-elimination bracket tournament—except the Regional Finals, which will be single-elim (ie, the loser’s bracket guy doesn’t have to beat the winner’s bracket guy twice to win the Region)
    • home team will always be the TOP team on the brackets in Regional games
  • Regional winners will advance to a single-elimination Final Four, to be played back-to-back-to-back on one TV/Everdrive… until only a champion remains!
    • matchups and home teams decided by DICE ROLLS in Final Four games
  • if teams owned by the same player advance to the Final Four, they will be placed in different semifinal rounds... then, if both that player’s teams advance to the finals, that player will choose what team they want to play with in a MAN vs. MAN battle against a player in the room chosed by dice parser... and that random player will play as a Pro Bowl team, except the Pro Bowl team will consist of the White Elephant players.  If the White Elephants win, EVERYONE in the room at the time will receive an equal share of the prize monies.
• TEAM/PLAYER/REGION DISTRIBUTIONS:  to ensure the maximum range of player vs. player possibilities in this tournament, the distribution of teams in the regions will be executed in the following manner:
  • dice parser will assign each player a number #1-12
  • the players will then be assigned into Regions as follows:
    • REGION A: #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
    • REGION B: #7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
    • REGION C #1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 (odds)
    • REGION D #2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 (evens)
  • then, dice parser will determine which of each player's two teams goes into that player’s assigned regions
  • then, dice parser will determine where in the bracket each team will be placed within each region (their “seeding”)
  • long live dice parser!
• EXTRA TEAMS: The extra COM teams will be handled in the manner prescribed in the "Rules and Shit" document... but if it comes to be that someone can't make it to the tournament but already drafted their teams, then their teams will be added to the COM pool... and if there is ever enough for everyone to add an extra team, then we will roll for a (new) draft order, and draft one more team each... it would also likely be necessary in such an event to re-align the regions to prevent same-owner teams from being in the same region, and we would just re-start that process from the beginning.
• ROM/EVERDRIVES:
  • we will be using the base CFT ROM, which is attached to this post… for a list and explanation of hacks on this ROM, check the first post HERE.
  • injuries, conditions and stats will carryover throughout the tournament… and all while playing in PRESEASON mode at that {snatchez#}… and all without needing to MERGE the everdrive files—until, that is, just before the Final Four, when all files are merged onto one TV/Everdrive
  • All players are OG, with the exception of Ickey Woods... see profile pic at bottom of post.
• ~SPECIAL~ GOLDEN CHILD RULE: The “Golden Child” for this tournament will be none other than Johnny Johnson, which means he is provided ~special~ status and cannot be “stolen” by any another team at any time—but ONLY if the following condition is met:
  • if TBK drafts PHX in R1 of Team Draft

• Controllers: You may bring your own controller to this tournament and travel with it, but they must not have any turbo capability (eg NES Advantage).
• Full-Power Kickoffs: If "Player A" kicks a "full-power" kickoff, they reserve the right to ask "Player B" to go get them a drink before the next play.  If "Player B" refuses, then "Player A" reserves the right to SLAP "Player B's" controller out of their hand (aka a "slappie" cf. NORTH DAKOTA RULEZ) ONE TIME over the course of that same game.  NOTE: A "failed attempt" at a slappie is still a "slappie"... so make it count "Player A," and be on yr guard "Player B"... or shit, just get the dude a drink, "Player B"---he just powered out a full-meter kick, what are you, online tecmo trash?
• Halftime Cutscenes: If you skip the halftime cutscenes, shamanYo1080 will "spark an owl" and enter a meditational state where he walks with the tecmo gods and collaborates with them on the most devastating ways to fuck your tecmo fate to the seven heavens.
• MaLfUnCtIoNs: If a game is rendered unplayable after it has begun, either via equipment failure or unintentional human error… the players must reset and start another game and recreate the game up until the reset point, as accurately as possible (at the least: score, possession, yard line), and continue playing from there.

 

STICKY ICKEY SHUFFLE HISTORY:

On November 9, 2019, seven blue-blooded members of the CFT gathered together at the Eagle's Nest in Sammammish, WA for a bit of Tecmo Shufflin'---in an original tournament dubbed "Ickey 1 -- Silence of the Rams."  The genesis of the idea for the Tecmo Shuffle reportedly belongs to Darren, aka "Jim Jensen," one of DT's Tecmo buddies growing up... but as that original idea got churned and turned in the stark raving madness of the CFT Labs (led by @gripsmoke and @DT.), it evolved into what we shall now label The Sticky Ickey Shuffle---or ICKEY, for short.  In the days leading up to the original Ickey at the Eagle's Nest, and on the day itself, the realization struck me a handful of times the extent to which we ALL worked together and pooled our respective strengths to create the Ickey format, as well as to execute the tournament itself.  Truly, the Ickey is a CFT baby, and we are all its father----and man, what a baby.  I will spare you here the multitudinous reasons why I believe the Ickey is such a beautiful tournament format---for that, I will refer you to this twitter thread instead.
