SNES? I'll bite.
I'm up for grabs on any team. Or maybe my past victories gave me enough ego to count as three other people. (Considering the time left, assume I will confirm any team assignment - EDIT: First come, first serve. I'm not sure I'd have the time to pick from multiple offers, so only the first suggestion should be assumed to be taken!)
As for my disappearance, just chalk it up to drifting interests. We'll see how much of my TASing habits I've kept.

O-Oh. Um.
Given your, uh... Pretty illustrious history with DTC (along with being the sole leftover entrant), I'll make it a simple game so everyone gets a fair crack. Currently asking one person from each team for a 4 digit number, the closest to the one I'm thinking of will get you.
Teams, the cutoff point for this mini-contest will be 4:00 PM Pacific time on the 14th (about 15 hours after this post), or whenever the last team submits their number. Anyone from a team can submit a number but I will only take the first one I see. Either post here or ping me on the TASvideos Discord (I will most likely see this first, also I've already pinged a member from each team on there anyway).
Current numbers:
"TAS to the MAX!" - 6029
"FEIJOADA" - [waiting]
"The Trans-Atlantic TASers" - 4269
"The Galaxy Brains" - [waiting]
"DENT" - 2222
g0goTBC, cyberpotato, WarHippy, lapogne36 - [waiting]
ViGadeomes, arnaud33200, KiwiCracker, R30hedron - 9521
OOPS THIS WHOLE PART OF THE POST JUST AGED INCREDIBLY POORLY INCREDIBLY QUICKLY, LIKE PEOPLE IN THE 1800S. For posterity, DENT was closest. They will be awarded 1 bonus point, which they can trade in at the Prize Counter for a spider ring or a sticky hand.
As for everyone else, sign-ups are officially over! Forty-five minutes late, even, because I am amazing at timing! If my amazing timing keeps up, the game should be announced on June 15th, before 4PM Pacific time.

Here to make ya sweat with a last-minute sign-up, of course! Perhaps I should seek a somewhat less dramatic entrance the next time I disappear and come back.
Actually, I'm starting to wonder if I should stick around to be on a team. Well, I am sort of throwing a wrench into your carefully laid out plans, when every team is kitted out with four people each. Whatever everyone thinks is fair, I'm also perfectly fine backing down (and making my own TAS of the DTC-chosen game in secret... er, you didn't read this thought, so it's still secret!).
I am still the wizard that did it.

<scrimpy> at least I now know where every map, energy and save room in this game is

Apparently I am too late for signups. :(
I'll allow it! There's still roughly a day and a half until the game's announced anyway, I'm not sure why that's even there. Man, One Month Ago Samsara had some real hecked up viewpoints on time or something. It does slightly complicate the final team-building process, but nothing I can't handle. I've read our Movie Rules, I'm used to things being overly complicated for no reason.
I think the best option here is to arrange the final three sign-ups into the 8th team: R30hedron, FatRatKnight, and Invariel. FRK has already given general confirmation, Invariel has confirmed on Discord, just waiting on R30 to make it official. RIP guessing game, gone before its time :c

The 7-letter M name quota has officially been met for DTC10! Mittenz gets the post-last-minute signup, and over on Discord, moozooh has gone from alternate logo maker to official participant, so... Good news, we now have 8 full teams of 4! Bad news, I have now officially learned that ending sign-ups is the best way to drive up participation, so as of right now, sign-ups are officially closed to the next event I run. Expecting a massive turnout for it!
I've decided to just resort to random placement, since there's only two spots and two people. Using the scientific method of "clicking a button on random.org", moozooh joins Team 7, and Mittenz joins Team 8! Everything is balanced now! I can't allow any more signups! Don't resign me to the fate of having to click buttons again!!!

Why are you trying to steal my house and reappropriate it for DTC?
[16:36:31] <Mothrayas> I have to say this argument about robot drug usage is a lot more fun than whatever else we have been doing in the past two+ hours
[16:08:10] <BenLubar> a TAS is just the limit of a segmented speedrun as the segment length approaches zero

2222 is my lucky number. In fact, it gave me so much luck that the amount of luck overflowed.
I'll have a sticky hand, please.

The game is...
Ghoul Patrol is the oft-forgotten sequel to Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and has the same overall goal: Get through each level while rescuing between 1-10 innocent people. If all 10 victims die, then you really hecked up. If 9 victims die, then you're probably running any%!
You're running any%! One player, fastest completion.
This is the current RTA WR. There is no other speedrun-relevant information on this game. Good luck!

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.
<Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits
<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
hello other teams, please jump into your team house right here.
please recheck miss sara
