Hypothetical regarding tournaments

[yoda9726]

I know this is very unlikely to happen, But if by some bizarre fluke a bye bot were to win a match, would it advance? And if it does, and continues to get fluke after fluke, eventually winning the tournament, Do we declare it the champ or what?  I had a really bizarre dream last night...lol

[Mr. AS]

I'd assume that that'd be up to the tourney host. In NQWR2, the bot that isn't Dr. Crab PHD (bye bot) goes though, regardless of the outcome of the match.

That's why the bye bot is deliberately terrible. =P

It is an interesting hypothetical, but I suppose we don't have much choice other than to declare it the champion. I've got no idea what else we could do. I still remember back in Wild Robots Live 2 when Reier lost to the Byebot. It still didn't get past the Pod stages, though.

It's down to the host's discretion, typically you'll advance regardless if you face one. This isn't always the case.

[yoda9726]

I think I'd be at least half tempted to let the byebot advance if it won a match, just for the humor aspect of it alone, but wouldn't anyway.  It might be funny if it won one match, but if it continued to win, that'd be a pretty lame outcome.

The byebot's just in NQRW 2 to give every bot a round 1 fight. They won't even be separate videos for me, just a series of matches in one video.

Me thinks that byebots should be allowed to advance, but they need to be deliberately terrible so it's the builders fault if they lose

[ty4er]

if you lose to a byebot then either you are extremely unlucky or crap.
if they win, let them through. unless they are amazing byebots they wont win :P
unless it's something like noob warz :P

[G.K.]

But yes, down to your discretion.

I just wouldn't use a byebot at all... save on film time.
 
Except for BBEANS.  I thought my idea with BBEANS6 was pretty cool (using a really powerful byebot and awarding bots a win if they beat it, but not penalizing them if they didn't).  Too bad I ended up not needing it.
