I was actually trying to win Most Annoying, mostly for the lulz. When I was pretty sure that I had won, I decided to stop trolling.


You were doing that way before the awards were brought up but okay :P

Nar: As I hadn't voted in that category I just registered a vote. I think that's fair enough :P


Rob: You're most welcome :)

Picked up Dark Souls yesterday. Had to be done.

Excellent news! As Rob has completed Hostile Theatre, his Host Score has now risen to 3, making him the latest addition to the Major League hosts, and meaning this tournament can start up once more! :D

I thought that was an interesting twist, especially when you think the final will be fought with a team that's literally not any of your own bots (unless you can choose to swap the last losing bot for the next losing bot, keeping 2 of your own all the way)

Just cleaned this thread up after problems were resolved.
The entry level rules have now been clarified, and a part added where if all entrants are in 1 team-based bracket, each entrant may enter 3 robots - making this interesting idea fully legal by the ruleset.
As previously stated somewhere else, current rules are in flux anyway so it's good to have something come up that raises questions.
Good luck TRiaS.

Because people want to win awards, so they'd vote for themselves. If they deserve an award, they will get one.

This topic has at least half the entry size in yes votes and has been submitted to me, so...
This is now a signups topic! The following rules cannot change.
I finally decided to try and do a tournament of my own.

You can't enter until I have received and accepted your robot.

BUILDING RULES

BATTLE RULES

Round 1 - 5 battles with 3 competitors in each. 1 winner from each and 1 voted wildcard advance.
Round 2 - 2 battles with 3 competitors in each. 1 winner from each advances to the final. 2nd in each goes into the playoff.
Round 3b - 1 battle with 2 competitors. Winner is declared 3rd place runner-up.
Round 3a - 1 battle with 2 competitors. Winner is declared tournament champion.

Judging will be done by me and 2 other members, tell me if you want to be a judge.

Would A IRL Bot be accepted? It has literally no chance of winning but thats my style. Suck at RA2.


Why don't you just try and make a standard bot? We never get standard tournaments these days.
Also you're more likely to do well and you won't be taking the easy way out. You'd be entering an IRL bot just so you have an excuse to say 'oh well I knew I'd lose'. Why not actually try?

Considering getting Long Live the Queenif it wins the community choice(which it probably won't.)

As much as I want that to win, it will probably be Super Hexagon, it is invariably the cheapest game, or the game with the highest percent taken of its price that wins. And since Super Hexagon has both, and as such is only 20p, it is almost sure to win.


There is also the fact that Super Hexagon is an excellent game in it's simplicity :3
