Title: Stock HW *256-BOT* Tourney
Post by: Badnik96 on January 01, 2011, 08:40:45 PM
OK, here it is. I still need a lot of bots for this (will make some and I will use a bunch of stuff from AI packs and the bot exchange)


I currently have 175 bots and I will be finding 81 more.

I am limited to using bots in AI packs or the bot exchange so PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME YOUR BOTS. Thank you.

I wanna see the bots, I haven't seen most of them. It makes things more interesting.

I can send 3 of the 4 in my sig. The HS top right was an art bot built off a single axle, and can't actually fight worth beans xD

Due to certain people trying to bypass the rules, tournaments that ask for entries (that are not on the exchange or in AI packs) must be posted in the tourney section and be accepted by the poll.

I will leave this here but please note that there will be no exceptions. Your first post has been updated to reflect this.


Edit: Also please do not use any bots that were added to the exchange after your first post (we don't want any more loopholes  :gawe: ).
Title: Re: Stock HW *256-BOT* Tourney
Post by: Badnik96 on January 01, 2011, 10:35:09 PM
Meh. People are just gonna send stuff anyway.

And I didn't specifically ASK for enrties. I said you could send stuff if you wanted.
Title: Re: Stock HW *256-BOT* Tourney
Post by: Sparkey98 on January 01, 2011, 10:44:56 PM
There are many other loopholes that I'm not gonna point out.

so because of FOTEPX I'm not allowed to run a tourney that I've run twice already without any rule breaking? WTF is this?

We were too lenient in the past regarding unofficial tournaments. IIRC, you started one of the first unofficial tournaments (that included other people's bots) and we let it pass because we didn't think people would try to take advantage of it. When there became no distinction between an unofficial and official tournament, we decided to do something about it. What would you suggest we do instead?

Since this in under my moderation, I will be double checking ALL the bots.  For your sake (and mine), please don't use any bots PMed to you or made available after your original post.

The staff was informed to LOCK unofficial tournaments that accept submission. In the future, please don't post any unofficial tournaments until you have ALL the bots (I was being lenient since this is the first time it has been mentioned to you guys).  The unwritten rules for unofficial tournaments will have a thread in the near future after we're finished finding the major loopholes but try to be as understanding as possible.

@Sparkey: If you can think of any loopholes feel free to PM me about them. Bots that were included in an AI pack or put on the exchange before the tournament was announced seems to leave very little room for loopholes (although, I did think of a minor exception that I'll be discussing with the staff...).

I hate to say it but you won't get a word out of me. This "official" tournament crap is ridiculous. This game is dead enough as it is, lets make sure no one can have any fun! Why does this need some kind of "regulation?" We're all here to play RA2, aren't we? Why must we make sure we have to go through 15 thousand steps? The last thing I have to offer is that this complete and udder flaming bullshit. Gooday mate!

Badnik has proven he can do simili-tournaments like this with no problem, I don't see why he should be restrained.

We should make a pole on weather this should be restrained or not. Why do we have these rules anyway?

Because of kids like you who tried to start tournaments the minute they sign up, or because people would start tournaments and leave.

Badnik isn't one of these. There is no need to restrict him if the community agrees with that.

Like (n) - Similar in nature to, but not necessarily exactly the same. Ex: People like him are the reason tournaments are restrained.

Badnik isn't one of these. There is no need to restrict him if the community agrees with that.
 
  I was only answering the question regarding why these rules are in place, not the other.

Yes, but I'm not the time to rush in and start a tournry. I was a major n00b, but I knew how Aiing worked

exactly what the new system does.. he can make tournaments whenever he likes.. just one at a time, so he could easily do this after RW3

We should make a pole on weather

pole dancing in the rain ? :P

everything else has been pretty much answered by other staff..

I have sent countless hours bending over backwards to make everyone happy while prevent crap being produced in the tournament section. why? to keep everyone happy... (though seemingly impossible on this website)

you dont own this website ACAMS does.. you can make your own little forum and make as many little tournaments are you want but bottom line is, on here you do things according to our rules.. dont bother debating it, ACAMS told us to immediately lock any thread that has people sending robots in for a tournament not in the sign ups section, we are being lenient by trying to find a happy medium.

He is also exactly the reason we first came up with the need for a tournament system.

Post by: Badnik96 on January 02, 2011, 08:36:59 AM
Of course, with the signups section thingy, I have to write out everything I've been doing twice (rules wise), and I need to post VIDEOS, which if a 256-bot thingy like this, takes too LONG to keep everyone interested. Especially if you have A LIFE. And I don't see Raging DSL MWs and Robot Smash being canceled. I stand by my reasoning.
