Robogames 2 - Discussion
« on: April 07, 2019, 09:35:39 AM »
Hi all. Recently, thanks to Billy, we've been in discussion about the future of Robogames 2.

With Billy uploading the Antweight & Beetleweight Division and Bild looking to continue the SHW division, we've decided it best have Billy continue those divisions. However, with the other weightclass we're looking into restarting them from the signups stage. We're thinking about doing this for various reasons, the two main reasons, being it's such a mess at this point that restarting the event would be cleaner than picking up the pieces of it. On top of this the time between now & then I think people much prefer there current bots.

In regards to members who are no longer active that had entered RG2, we'll be keeping those bots in out of respect for them.

A few members in this discussion have offered to host divisions, these being.
TheOrcCorp - HW
Bildschirm - CW
Myself - MW
Billy - LW


However, if anyone wants to assist or possibly a backup host just in case. Feel free to ask. Whilst this is not set in stone, this is where we're looking to go.

In summary, Billy will continue to host the Antweight & Beetleweight Division, then the reboot of other weightclasses will happen during the summer-ish. Any questions or thoughts on the matter? I'd love to hear.

inb4 Badnik mysteriously gets bad matchups in every round of the HW series /s

If you're rehosting it with new signups, why not rename the tournament and make it another official GTM tournament like GTMCS, considering the scale and that it's not effectively a community run tournament?

Hey man I got crap matchups in OW and I didn't even have to piss anyone off to get them (that I know of at least)  heck

Not sure forcing people to use their old ass RG2 bots in a "new" official tournament is really a good idea. I know that personally I feel I've progressed a lot as a builder since I made my RG2 bots, and I'm sure others have too, and IDK if I'd want my RG2 bots representing me in an official tournament now. At least if it keeps the Robogames name people will be aware that the bots seen in it aren't a current representation of the abilities of the builders who made them

I agree with your point entirely but it seems like submissions will be reopened so it's basically a new tournament in all but name.

Oh well in that case yeah I agree with you then. If it's having a new round of signups then it really has no link at all to Robogames.

Also Hop, aren't you supposed to be hosting Apex Elite and GTM Open already? I'm not sure putting a 3rd tournament (which could possibly be very large scale) on your plate is the best idea, unless you wrap up one of the previously 2 before signups.

I believe the idea is that RGS2 won't be happening till late 2019 from the talks I was in earlier so I'm hopefully sure he'll have those done by then!

if it allows for better bots and the newer people to join im all for it being restarted from signups, it also means theres another big event in GTM but only if people will have the time to host it on top of other events and real life.

Fully aware, this should slot in at the end of Apex, assuming it pans out correctly

Honestly, I personally don't like a restart. However, since most people agree on it, then maybe I'm okay with it since it's happening anyway. Though thinking about it, on the other hand, I will be able to enter along with other newbies.

Also, for the old unfinished RGS2 divisions from LW-HW, just wondering because a bit of crazy idea, but can I still record the original LW-HW and rather than pass it off as official RGS2 since it will be rebooted, just brand those as a fun what could have been fights and maybe show the fights only too with song, rather than include the normal between fight matchup pic

Thank you all for voicing you opinions on the matter. I've dropped a message to Doot, hopefully I can get the assets used, should speed things up.

Potentially, that sounds like a pretty ok idea if you're up for it. I don't want to overbear you with fights to record, etc

For the fight to record, I think I can handle it. Plus, I won't put the in between fight cards, only battles and songs, so I think it won't take huge amount of time to record and edit

Huh, never really knew there was stuff finally in the works. Being inactive from the RA2 community does come with a lack of the know-how of what's been goin' on, after all. :V

I'm a little bit confused as to the restart that's happening, but considering I futzed up entirely I guess it's fine to begin again as I'm no longer the mastermind behind this tournament now.
