One Bot - One Tourney?

[Jack Daniels]

I don't see any problems with entering a bot more than once. Especially if you really like your bot and want to see it compete. I entered Guybrush & Hellbringer in two different tournaments.  I was happy I didn't get flamed, so I don't think anyone cares really.

Once I have entered it in every DSL MW tournament from now on

do you expect it to remain competitive for at least a month in DSL ? this game moves fast GK :P

R4 was about 5 years old by the time it came 2nd in BBEANS 5. If a bot's good enough, it will stay competitive for a long time.

W-W-W-WHAAAAT

You could have destroyed everyone forever with that thing for years!

I guess it is harder for bot building to pass a bot if nobody knows it exists yet...

Edit: Yea I kinda just realized that R4 is very simple for a bot that did that good....

P.S: Whoops I was lurking in the Doomed Bots pages and had Urjak Remade in a different tab must have copied the wrong url XD

R4 was built in 04-05??

1) Stock is different to DSL in lifespans of things.. remember NWB is still a good robot too.. Stock robots generally can last a while. especially spinners and pop ups.

2) Stock doesnt have something like NarAI which keeps pushing things further and further each month (I know its a different mod but its still DSL)

3) R4 was pre "Pwnator - Ounce wedge war" :P

I don't enter the same bot in multiple tourneys because either


a) I don't have a bot pre-made that meets the rules of the tournament I'm entering


b) There's another bot that qualifies that I want to try out and see how it does


c) The bots I entered in previous tourneys are outdated


However, if I ever won a tournament, I think I would enter the same bot in another tournament to see how long I could go undefeated.

or no one noticed :x :P

I remember a bot entered BBEANS and the firs Rust in Pieces but I can`t remember the user.

Well kinda, it was updated in RIP though.
