Title: Orc's Wars
Post by: TheOrcCorp on September 12, 2017, 08:34:22 AM
Orc's Wars is a series created by me, hey there! If you scroll through the pages you can have a look through the history of Orc's Wars so far: this post will be dedicated to keeping track of whatever is currently going on in the latest series (robot entries, tournaments etc)!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orc's Wars Series 2 entrants so far!

EDIT: Moved the first post here so I can use the first part to do tourney related lists to keep track of stuff! Anyway....

Welcome everybody, to Orc's Wars! I was inspired by DemonOfTomorrow's tourneys and A Heap of Games' Banter Wars to make my own tourney on this scale! I hosted a smaller one called Orc's Tourney beforehand which I felt went quite well so decided to try and take it up a notch!

Orc's Wars will be similar to Robot Wars: 128 robots, 16 heats, 1 winner and several side events. For now though, I have around 173 robots...so let's do some qualifiers!

The qualifiers will be run in three days. Day 1 and Day 2 will have 43 robots progress through to the main series, while Day 3 will have 42.

Here are the highlights from Day 1 as well as the Wildcard Battle to determine who got the 43rd entry slot!

Looking cool so far. Any of mine in this?

There is not unforunately! Robots featured have been built by Doot, Doodlez, Drago, Evil Toaster, Fox, Golden Spartan, Gulden, Hoppin, Jamie, JDG, Mattiator, MrBK, Mystic, Neon, myself, Primeval, Rattus, Roboteer, Tashic, TGM, Thyrus and KillerTurtle!  :mrgreen: Side events may be needing some bots so I'll let people interested on here about that soon after qualifiers. :)

As this tournament technically violates the display board rules it cannot be allowed to continue in said board. It can however be allowed to continue on the off-topic section.
Title: Re: Orc's Wars
Post by: Gulden on October 07, 2017, 01:19:26 PM
I hate to drag this discussion on even more, but I feel that Orc's wars was wrongfully ripped of it's Display tournament title.
You may use any freely available robots in AI packs or on the Robot Exchange with explicit permission of the builder. You may ask people for replicas but any competitive bots are not allowed to be entered, and you must not show who entered what robot. You may, however, make a list of people you thank in your thread (remembering not to mention their entry). This is due to these tournaments being non-competitive and for viewers only.
All robots in both tournaments were given straight to the owners, thus it stays within the ruleset. 
The only difference I see is that Orc's Wars doesn't list who made the robots, while Ironbound lists them within the videos, thus breaking the rules.

He even made a post which listed the builders, but not the robots they built.
Robots featured have been built by Doot, Doodlez, Drago, Evil Toaster, Fox, Golden Spartan, Gulden, Hoppin, Jamie, JDG, Mattiator, MrBK, Mystic, Neon, myself, Primeval, Rattus, Roboteer, Tashic, TGM, Thyrus and KillerTurtle!  :mrgreen: Side events may be needing some bots so I'll let people interested on here about that soon after qualifiers. :)
Title: Re: Orc's Wars
Post by: cephalopod on October 07, 2017, 05:01:11 PM
The robots being given to the host directly is itself a violation. The rules state taken from AI packs or pre-existing bots on the exchange. Bots can be submitted like you state if they're replicas.
But like we've said, the whole system is going to get a rework. Just bear with.

This rule is stipid imo. Why would someone not be allowed to get bots for a display tournament that isn't a official one and thatdoesn't count towards anything. Big tournaments like this can bring more people to the game and its a cool way for people to send in many designs to see what works and what doesn't.

Title: Orc's Wars New Blood - 16/24 Entries and Thoughts
Post by: TheOrcCorp on December 01, 2017, 09:10:20 AM
So we're back in the Personal Tournaments section, yaaaaaaay! (Thanks Kill and the other admins who came to this decision!) Just to answer some of the points Kill made though: Orc's Wars and it's events seperate and related to the series will be updated as soon I can as the series goes on (university and personal life permitting, they are more important after all) and will be kept as balanced and fairly judged as possible. Seeing how well Orc's Wars Series 1 was recieved makes me feel I did a good job with it and I hope to carry it on for future series. I do this for fun as I enjoy seeing everyone's creations work in battle and how far they get. I never tried to exclude anyone and with this update today, I hope more GTM people join the New Blood/Orc's Wars series!

Speaking of the New Blood: I had to reject Thyrus' entry as it had the burst motors intersecting which takes us back to 16/24 entries! GET YOUR SPOT TODAY! :mrgreen:

As a reminder, the Orc's Wars series is DSL-IRL as a whole!

Title: Orc's Wars Series 2 Announcement
Post by: TheOrcCorp on January 26, 2018, 09:24:12 AM
Well first of all:

Now onto the BIG news: Orc's Wars Series 2 robot submissions will begin on Monday the 29th of January 2018!

For the first week (29th January 2018-4th February 2018), I will be accepting a MAXIMUM of 3 robots per person. Do not ask about following weeks as future entries depend on how many I get in the first week.

I will be accepting a total of 96 entries for the qualifiers (not counting seeded bots if you have any already).

FORMAT FOR OW2:

RULES:

I think that's everything...lemme know if I missed anything. Prepare your first 3 robots, my friends!

Like last time, there will be a Lightweight, Middleweight and Super Heavyweight competition. And I believe there will be a Challenge Belt, Tag Team Terror and a World Champion. But Orc can correct me if Im incorrect

IT'S SHOWTIME FOLKS! Entries for Orc's Wars qualifiers are now open! You can submit a maximum of 3 robots each for this week up until Sunday, 11pm UK time! I will post updates with entries I have received! Just remember, SEEDED BOTS DON'T COUNT AS ONE OF YOUR 3 ENTRIES SO YOU CAN SEND THOSE TOO (if this counts to you of course!)

Just a reminder about rules:

Good luck! :mrgreen:

5.   No more than 1 Beta Burst/Motor, 2 VDMA R/P Bursts/VDMA Front Hinged/Storm Burst on your robot (depending on which one you choose, don’t mix and match).

I was thinking of making a 4 bar lifter (like Storm 2 or Biohazard), by using a Storm Burst and a VDMA. Would that be allowed? as it would technically be mixing and matching
I thought I'd better ask before I started building

I'd say use a larger VDMA for the bottom one and a smaller VDMA for the top one, asked Roboteer about it and he did that for one bot and used 2 Wide Medium VDMAs for another! Hope this helps!

Anyway, hello all! Sorry for the radio silence but I've been busy sorting through entries that people have sent me...good grief we got a lot! I've had little to no issues with robots and for those I have had issues with, I've contacted the builders to let them know that they need to make changes!

List of robots so far:

So we have 49 entries already, this leaves 47 entries to go! For those of you who have submitted 3 entries already, you'll have to wait for next week to enter anymore (if we get that far!) and if you haven't entered the max of 3, you're able to do so until next week!

Thanks for the clarification I couldn't really get it to work with a storm burst anyway

Not really new builds from my part but mainly improvements of previous machines.

Ryu 2 is the classic 4WD pusher with a spine which is turned into a fronthinged like flipper weapon
Forward to Death 2 had a wider wedge, better drive, and a more powerfull weapon
R4 is the latest in the Rejector series.

We have all the spaces filled: thank you for entering everyone! I know a few people have been asking if they can swap one robot out for another to which I say: YAY SIRS/MADAMS YOU MAY!

Each person can swap out ONE robot for another as of this point up until the 4th of February 2018, 11pm UK TIME! I will say one rule: for the most part...NO SPINNERS! We have enough of the buggers...I may make exceptions depending on situations (for example New Blood entries returning like Wraith)

I think that is all...pick wisely my friends! :mrgreen:

Hey all,
           so we had a situation where the retaining champion of OW had used stacked teeth on their robot. I had already begun filming so of course this threw a spanner in the works. After thinking for a while, I came to the conclusion that The Tinned Tuna would have it's stacked teeth stripped to make it fairer to the other oppenents as well as losing it's title...on top of that, another competitor pulled out as when they found out about Tuna, they agreed it wasn't fair to do that and admitted they had done the same thing.

So all the seeds went up a place, resulting in MrBK's Slap Shot V2.5 becoming the new champion and a new 23rd seed being crowned: Flying Wings by TGM.

So with a robot being pulled out: we had a spare qualifying place. I wanted to give this to a builder who hadn't qualified with a new machine, resulting in a 3 way melee of my own picks of robots that stood out to me: Urchin by MrBK, Wraith by Badnik and Mandela by JDG. Urchin won and has now got the final qualified place.

Of course due to all of this and to keep it fair, I re-randomised the match-ups...there are below...sorry about this situation! I'm glad I picked up on it now instead of halfway through the series.

I will hopefully have some OW goodness for you soon! :mrgreen:

You've done such a professional job running this and it is really a joy to watch. Controversies happen and probably always will, so it's good to see that you handled it as smooth as possible. :)

Now, some important stuff. First of all, the OW2 Awards! They are as follows:
Best Design
Most Original Entry
Best Fight
Best Loss
Funniest Moment
Most Shocking Moment
BTSHDBBDDTBL (Bot that should have done better but didn't due to bad luck)
Luckiest Robot Award
BRTDQFTMS (Best Robot That Didn't Qualify For The Main Series)
Most Destructive Robot
Sportsmanship Award (Most gracious in defeat, helpful advice etc. Bit of a stretch but I can think of a few people who have taken part in this series who deserve this award)
Best Builder (Who built the best looking/most effective bots this series?)

PM me on here/Discord/etc your votes for each category and NO YOU CAN'T VOTE FOR YOURSELF! I will be closing votes on Saturday 24th of March at 11pm UK TIME!

Secondly, these are the events I'm doing after the Grand Final:
Lightweight Legion
Middleweight Massacre
Superheavyweight Skirmish
Sumo Basho: 1v1 with our specially made house bot, Rhinard! Try and last a minute against him!
Challenge Belt
Tag Team Terror
Royal Rumble: 30 builders each with a bot. 4 way melee with 2 bots going out each round until we have 1 bot left standing as the Royal Rumble winner.
World Championship

For Heavyweight robots, I will be opening up submissions for a MAXIMUM of 25 NEW robots to be entered for the HW events (New Blood bots can be used but they will not be counted as NEW entries). Start considering what pre-existing or new robots you wish to enter for these events, I will open submissions for these events after the Grand Final airs on Sunday 25th of March!

That's all, enjoy the episode!

All of the events will be first come, first serve! Bocuma and whoever wins OW2 will get automatic places for the World Championship. If 2-4 bots ask for the same place (like Russia for example) then they will have to fight in a qualifying match for that place. :smile:

Title: Orc's Wars Series 2 - Grand Final and SIDE EVENTS OPEN!
Post by: TheOrcCorp on March 25, 2018, 06:31:45 AM
THE GRAND FINAL IS HERE! Who will win the second series of Orc's Wars? :mrgreen:
https://youtu.be/cyJn-bDxfsg

First of all....congrats to... (SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE GRAND FINAL!!!!!)

Secondly: SIDE EVENTS ARE NOW OPEN! You can find all the details below and I look forward to your entries!

Overall Build Rules:
1.   DSL-IRL ruleset - Robots must look as close to real-life designs as possible/insides must NOT be clipping through each other nonsensically.
2.   Heavyweight limit of 800kg/Lightweight limit of 249kg/Middleweight limit of 399kg/Superheavyweight limit of 1200kg.
3.   No Mechavore/Minion/Microvore/Mini Minion discs.
4.   No EternalFlame.py or logic.
5.   No more than 1 Beta Burst/Motor, 2 VDMA R/P Bursts/VDMA Front Hinged/Storm Burst on your robot (depending on which one you choose, don’t mix and match).
6.   No servos. If you can AI it yourself then feel free to send me the servo bot.
7.   No excessive extender spamming/stacking (Extenderbots are allowed of course but if you use extenders to armour your bot….no, just use the armour panels!)
8.   All Cheatbot2 parts EXCEPT Flat Motors and the Overkill motor are banned.
9.   No weapon spam (like 8 spinning discs etc).
10.   No Steel 10 armour.
11.   No meltybrain or clusterbots.
12.   Swiss Army Bots are limited to three different weapon systems. The main chassis of the robot (armor, drive system, etc.) should not change between configurations.
13.   RA2CF and DSC IRL packs are allowed and are encouraged for this tournament, along with skinned components.
14.   You can enter robots that failed to qualify for these side events!
15.   For the HEAVYWEIGHT robots, 25 spaces for NEW entries are open for these side events! New entries don't include Failed to Qualify robots or New Versions of current robots (like Gnaw5 for a random example). Once the spots are gone, they're gone!

Lightweight Legion: 16 robots maximum.

Middleweight Massacre: 16 robots maximum.

SuperHeavyweight Skirmish: 16 robots maximum.

Sumo Basho: 16 robots maximum.

Challenge Belt: 16 robots maximum - winner of the tournament fights Sabre II by Roboteer for the Challenge Belt.

Tag Team Terror: 8 teams of 2 robots maximum. IMPORTANT NOTE - BOTH ROBOTS MUST HAVE DIFFERENT WEAPONS. For example, a flipper and an axe can be a team but not two spinners. The champs are exempt from this ruling.

Royal Rumble: 30 robots maximum.

World Championship: 16 robots maximum...HOWEVER if several robots pick the same country, they will fight in a qualifier for that country. For example, 3 bots pick Canada like last series and they had to fight for their spot.

I had such a great time in this tournament form OW1 and 2 both times slapshot did amazingly well and even from it being a bit bad from OW1 to the point people were impressed by the new one it still had it issues but did well and same with slash with its amazing fight it had with a few close calls getting flipped out also I am still surprised that slapshot and slash made it to the grand final even though what happened during it i wasn't surprised but not many people can say they made the grand final twice and with a second robot as well. Maybe next time or during the side event I might be able to win something instead of getting unlucky

Hello all!

Sorry for the delay, university life has been hectic and I'm in my last week before my deadline! However in some of my free time...
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
I have been recording the OW side events! (Ignore the Scoripo one, that was just a funny glitch that happened during one of the first round melees in the Challenge Belt!) After next Monday, I will be able to start work editing the episodes together! I hope you look forward to it, the side events have been great fun to work on so far! :mrgreen:

Not really. I made Ferris Wheel before the HW Huge was revealed, I've known about its lineage for a while now. The original bot's been pretty famous and well loved since its first event, its not like people just now discovered it

By no one cared i mean there wasn’t a big trend surrounding it!

Nope, to make it fair: bots will be checked through on a daily basis. For example, I'll check through all of tomorrow's bots in the evening and then I'll post an update of what spaces are left and who has got in! This way, it allows me to look over all the robots I get sent, instead of just using what I get first as that isn't fair on people in certain timezones. :smile:

So I'm guessing you pick the best bots for the tourney if you get more entries than the event can hold?

IIRC it was a selective process a la Battlebots for the new blood so not everything that was entered made the cut

Well for once I get a ton of comments and not for a good reason.

To clarify, robots only went through a selective process IF an event got overfilled from a group/day. A lot of the weightclass robots got booted out for this reason as I had almost double entries.

V.Bomb/Kaiser - As far as I recall, the events you both wanted to enter got filled before you got in. Kaiser, you didn't even specify what events you were going for and didn't respond when I said only the Rumble had one free spot. Mushi Mushi by Arcane got the last spot by a vote.

Freeziez - you sent me a bot which quite frankly had no effort put into it so I didn't use it so someone else could take it.

Hope this clears stuff up!
