Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

No.

All these quotes and no-one has pointed out the ludicrous ww4ww tag? Not sure whether the idea of that actually being achievable among Touhou fans who'd be actually interested (or at all really) is more stupid than the fact that the description immediately contradicts it.

Reimu has money for brief moments in the middle of her get-rich-quick schemes before she squanders it investing in more schemes.

So therefore Reimu doesn't have any money.

The principle is the same in regards to faith in her shrine.

Mizuumi Kouryuusen: Immaterial and Missing Power 10th anniversary event

Some of the current Japanese players are organizing a Japan vs West netplay tournament to celebrate IaMP's 10th anniversary.
Event will be held this Saturday night on Jan 31st.

I'll post again day of, but figured I'd let people here know about the event.
We'll be running some casuals today if you want a preview.

What:
West vs Japan 7v7 netplay exhibition tournament
Full details here: http://wiki.mizuumi.net/w/User:Mauve/MizuumiKouryuusen

When:
Saturday, January 31st 2015, 7PM PST / 10PM EST

Where:
I'll be streaming the english language side of the event here:
http://www.twitch.tv/animatorzed

Commentary will be fairly low key, but we'll try to explain what we can. Most of the participants on our side will be in and out of skype during the event. I'll also be playing during the event.
I'll be running a short test stream tonight (right now) with some casuals so if you want to check out a bit of the game ahead of the event feel free to drop by.
Any technical feedback welcome too, since we're trying to make sure everything works ahead of the event.
Today's stream is over, check out the actual event on Saturday!

Format:
Waseda style.

quote:

What this means is that, for teams A and B, the first player of A will fight the first player of B, then the second player of A will fight the second player of B, and so on until everyone's played. Then the survivors are kept and we got to the next round, continue until no one's left

No character lock
Random order pick on both sides.

Other thoughts:

Japan has some absolute monsters on their side, but we should be able to make a decent accounting of ourselves and the Waseda format will guarantee that everybody gets to play at least once.

Its a netplay tournament between the US (plus one EU expat) and Japan, so a few matches will be played between Japan and the East Coast. Thankfully, IaMP actually has quite fantastic netplay via rollcaster, courtesy of muave, who is also organizing the event on our side and will be playing in the tourney.

What the heck is IaMP?

The thing is, all it takes is some patrolling around to find your god and kill him. I've seen it happen where Teotl of the Night decided to park itself on Man"s cap and then get crossbowed to death the next turn. However, I actually want to try this with Ur though, by putting a stealth item on my pretender.

I realise I'm like a year and a half late to the party on this one, but Touhou Labyrinth 2 is a video game that you should buy if you like RPGs. It's tuned way too hard and it's infuriating and I hate it, but I keep playing anyway, and if that isn't a sure sign of quality I don't know what is.

It's half off on DLsite for a few more hours; they wouldn't take my filthy gaikokujin credit card, but maybe you'll have more luck. Failing that, you can download it from Melonbooks instead.

There's a (mediocre) translation patch linked to on the wiki, or you can play it in Japanese like a real man. (I'm not a real man.)

Yeah, that was pretty fun. I stopped playing though when I ran out of Touhou character bosses and had nothing to look forward to but bronze mirrors and whatnot. It also had a pretty good soundtrack (that wasn't based on Touhou at all).

I enjoy that its Hard Mode is basically just "Here's a challenging level to fight bosses at. No, you're not allowed to grind. Stop it.".
Also the ability to reset/customize stats at any moment as freely as you want is rather nice.
There's supposedly an expansion on the way too.

EDIT: Oh, and the one unbeatable boss battle that just rewards you based on how much damage you manage to do in total. That was a cool idea.

I'm pretty sure you could grind skill points if you wanted to, since it just lowers your stats to the maximum level. Although I think anyone who would do that is a bad person who probably shouldn't be trying for hard mode.

You can actually beat Tenshi in her first appearance on 6F (without grinding). It's pretty tough since you only have 10 turns, but you can do it and get some good items for it.

e: btw everyone listen to the brilliant and smart FractalSandwich and buy LoT2, it is a Good Game.

My only problem with LoT2 was that on my first time through I was doing pretty well against Tenshi and then all of a sudden the game decides I can't win and switches to a crew who definitely can't win and then they just get wrecked and I'm like :psyduck:.

Other than that it was a massive improvement over the original in just about every way. Shame the art got competent though.

EDIT: Also if we are advertising Good Touhou Fangames go buy FMW 1-3 pronto.

Thanks for everyone that tuned in to watch the IaMP event. It was a lot of fun, and a good way to send off the game.

We were expecting to get bopped a lot worse, honestly, although I made a proper fool out of myself, so there is that too :)
