can a replica be used by 2 users?

Nope, unless their reserve runs out without an entry sent. Then it is open for someone else to use.

I can post there :/

Ya, for some reason I can't fathom, members with "Roboteer" status get all sorts of cool toys that Advanced Users don't, such as the rep buttons.

Indeed- and I'm still waiting to become an AU. Probably some reasons for not being so already, but hopefully next time the elections come round, my time will come.

What makes you think you deserve AU status?

If I'd had musical tools, Pyrotechnics and a backing Latin Choir, I'd sing a Villain Song about it. Still, there's a couple reasons. They persist mainly in the fact that-
 
- I've been around longer than several users on here (Initially joining in 2007)
- Actively contributed wherever I've been able to
- Had a reasonable degree of tournament success
- Am quite skilled at Stock Building
- Hold a good degree of respect amongst several of the younger users
- And you've got to admit, I have improved in terms of behaviour over time, don't you think?
 
So yes, not saying that I definitely should have it, but I do think that I should be considered for it next time the voting comes around.

Yes, well, considering I havn't got AU yet, you still have some time to wait there GF :P

GF has been around longer.

Signup time can be misleading, GF93 actually became a "regular" in 2009 (I think), after he realised he didn't need to sign up to download the stuff. I joined in August 2009, but became a regular in around April 2010. It's not about how long you've been here, it's about the quality of your contributions to the boards. I was only a "regular" for around eight months before I was awarded AU.

Wow, seems  most of you joined then lurked. I was fairly regular straight off.

I'm not sure how it will do against these newfangled one-wheeled axle-mount-stacking 18-mace HS though.  Those might be a problem.

It's snapper mounted BTW.

only up to 3 times the amount of them.

You must mean 3x whatever amount is on the actual robot right? not 3 of each part

Sorry didn't make that clear.


@G.K. Nope, all replicas have a decent CB and I felt there would be no problems.


Mike's bot received.

I've had the same problem in the past and it just fixed itself after a while. I have no tech advise though.

Tournament Archives / Not Quite Replica Wars

« on: June 03, 2011, 10:32:50 AM »

*Insert cool logo here*


Rules:
DSL MW (No multibots)
Replica Wars arena skinned (If Badnik gives permission) otherwise RA2 tourney arena skinned with no hazards.
16 bots
Single elimination, alternative choice brackets (I'll explain later)
Entrants choose and reserve a DSL replica of a real life bot and then make a replica using ONLY the parts found in that replica and only up to 3 times the amount of them. e.g. use of BOB only allows 3 flamethrowers. Multi extenders (only as base extenders) and ant batteries may also be used. Reservations only last 24 hours from posting your reservation (so only choose just before you build).
Standard 1 on 1 best of 3, 3min matches.
No AAM/BFE/Outside modification except skinning.
AMENDMENT: BFE may be used ONLY to attach components that may only be attached by BFE such as the Thermidor wheel or Nightmare's Disc. This is at my discretion and so must be requested.
Realistic (Usual stuff) but all in-game glitches allowed within realism.
Once sent, you can change which replica you use but only once. Minor updates within the same replica are infinite.
One free havok restart per match, any more results in disqualification.
I can AI but for best results, please AI yourself. (I'm not going to spend ages optimising AI for each entry)


Signups close when I get all entries or on the 3rd of July.




Alternative choice brackets: Each entrant ranks the other competitors in order of how much they would like to face them. I use this information to rank the bots. The lowest ranked bot gets its first choice of opponent, the next lowest gets its first possible choice in its list. etc. etc.... This gives more evenly matched battles. If not a full bracket, the lowest ranked bots get the byes.



Entrants:
1. Squirrel_Monkey (T-Minus)
2. MikeNCR (M.O.E)
3. G.K. (Growler)
4. freeziez (Killdozer)
5. Thyrus (Razer)
6. Conraaa (259)
7. Jack Daniels (Billybot)
8. GarvinTheGreat (Wheely Big Cheese)
9. Scrap Daddy (Thermidor II)
10. Somebody (Slap Happy)
11. dragonsteincole (Hypno-Disc)
12. TheSpaz (YU812)
13. That Robot is a Spy! (Supernova)
14. xanoz (Techno Destructo)
15. SKBT (Techno Destructo)
16. Hard Bot (Ronin)

Green: Received and AI'd
Blue: Received and checked
Purple: Received, unchecked
Red: Problem


Reserved/Used bots:
T-Minus (Squirrel_Monkey)
Moe (MikeNCR)
259 (Conraaa)
Hypno-Disc (madman) EXPIRED

Restart your computer may actually help. RA2 is screwy like that.
