BADGER. YOU KNOW WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN.
I would appreciate instead of doing a "entrant chooses their team" system, you did a draft system, maybe with one person picking a member at a time?
Also, it would be cool if instead of using your robots as spare robots, you used entrants from the original LvD. Just to remove literally all bias possible.
Oh, and I don't think the Robogames arena is good for flippers unless there is no roof, because the gap between the wall and plexiglass won't allow robots to fall in.
I'm gonna go ahead and re enter Grindr for this. Or a variant thereof.

also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
"I'll have 1 Havok Restart per match. If a second occurs, the culprit of the explosion will be DQed."Problem:Robot A rips off an flail from Robot B. Robot B havoks.Single Havok Restart used up.Robot B rips off a flail from Robot A. Robot A is the culprit. Robot A is DQ'd despite having the same number of Havoks as Robot B.Replacement rule: If a robot havoks twice (and both times it is certainyl its fault) in a match, they will be disqualified.
Also, I'm going to request a limit on flipper power. I just don't think it's fair for a flipper to be able to send people into the ceiling or flip people OOTA from the middle of the arena. I'm all for competition, but it's just not fun or fair to have a robot able to ****ing curbstomp opponents like that, and it's arguably not very realistic either: but even if it was, it's a game that will never be a perfect simulation of real life.If this rule isn't implemented, I'll probably be sending in a BS flipper because it's either that or getting sh**canned by a BS flipper.

Also the method you have right now is quite frankly sh** as by sheer luck one team can be blessed with all the 3 burst / ridiculously powerful flippers of any amount of bursts (if you allow them) and the other team can be left with none. A draft at least allows the captains to tactically split apart OP robots and replaces luck with strategic choice.
B: Ban re-entries and choose a small pool of robots that do not have sequels entered in the tournament, maybe?

Why are you only doing this to me and not in other tournaments? It's really easy for me to snap under pressure...Quote from: Avalanche on July 17, 2017, 06:02:40 PMQuote from: Guldenflame on July 17, 2017, 05:57:13 PMQuote from: Avalanche on July 17, 2017, 05:24:37 PMI would appreciate instead of doing a "entrant chooses their team" system, you did a draft system, maybe with one person picking a member at a time?There are other tournaments.

Such as if someone clones of Lost Cause. Do I count it as a Grindr ripoff?Besides... You act like we're gonna need Spare robots...

Removing the giant quote thingFirstly, WBC only did that with illegal pre-filled bottles with nitrogen at higher pressure than allowed. They only ever did it once.
And actually RW stacked the deck in favor of spinners by retaining an active weapon rule, plus putting a sh**load of spinners in, and not really having any spinner killers outside of Foxic and Wyrm. I mean, did you even watch S9?
Finally, do you want half the field to be overpowered flippers that send robots into the ceiling with every flip? Because that's what you are going to get unless you prevent Paladin/Aether Paradise/Delta levels of power from being accepted.
Also, you're sticking to a sh** team system that is going to make the tournament worse. Why? You're making a sequel to a tournament, why not improve what was clearly bad about the tournament?

I'm open for a change... Besides, you don't decide what bots people make. I'm half expecting a couple of drum bots, tbh.Quote from: Avalanche on July 17, 2017, 07:07:05 PMAlso, you're sticking to a sh** team system that is going to make the tournament worse. Why?

I prefer the 'pick a team' system to the drafting system. The drafting system used on LvD2 just turned the tournament into britbongs vs amerifats only sh**tier.
Idea: Ban Avalanche from the tournament so he'll finally shut the **** up?
