Yes. But Supernova would be a very boring upgrade. XD

I honestly think that when it comes to language, we should take an example from film ratings (I'll use MPAA Ratings here because I understand the majority here are American, and PG-13 basically equates to 12A in the UK anyway). Even PG films can get away with 'mild language', while PG-13 films can contain 'Brief Strong Language', which pretty much sums up what you find here - and if people under 13 are using this website and others without parents at least slightly monitoring what they're doing then I weep for society.

Plaz hit the nail on the head. You'll get it wherever you go on the internet because it's the internet.

After speaking to G.K., signups are due to open at 10:30 British time tonight, so in about 6 hours. They will remain open for 24 hours.
Also, I am very pleased to announce Wham has allowed me to use his new RW Arena, which looks absolutely stunning.
Thanks again, Wham.

Sure, I think with 2 possible judges and 1 definite (me) we should cover it, but we'll sort the rest of those details out when it comes to it. I feel like now is also a good time to explain the voting aspect of the tournament, as it does need to be added to the rules (I forgot that I need to pop a few details in). Essentially, when the splashes are created, I will require EVERY competitor to rate the other competitor's IRL-ness, honestly, on a scale of -2 (borderline not-irl) to 2 (Very IRL) via PM to me before the videos are released (2 days after Splashes are released). This vote will also be opened up to anybody not competing in the tournament - again to be closed before videos release. Voting will therefore happen in private and score additions/subtractions announced after the tournament has run. Your placing in the tournament will also get you points, so on top of the potential -2 to 2 you score in the vote, 1st place = 5 2nd place = 4 3rd/4th = 2 5th-12th = 0. Therefore, as you can see, winning the battles doesn't necessarily correlate to a tournament win. Good luck.

That's a really clever idea, using a randomizer to cut out the excess.
Thanks :P I just wanted to give everyone a fair shot at entering - should make up for the fact that it's not a mega-tourney. But yeah, I'll use that scoring system should it be needed, and as I'm not actually entering it should be fair if I'm a judge.. if anyone else wants to that's also cool. Finally, get building everyone, the tick is on. (NFX/GK/Nary/Whoever sees the tick, I'd appreciate it if this was moved sometime during tonight/tomorrow due to the nature of the 24-hour entry system)

Concentrate on your Summer DSL Tournament before committing to this. You were already saying how much work you've got to do with the other one.

Expect an appearance from hopefully a full Team Crasp ensemble.

A few of those made me totally fanboy on the inside.
Haha I remember dat feel, from back when Click entered RIP/RIP2.

I don't actually know. I don't even know what they used in RW.

Hah, I was thinking about asking about this the other day. Would be really cool to see it make an appearance.

Whenever the topic goes through to signups, likely to be within a few days. I might speak with one of the tourney mods to put it up on a specific day, perhaps Saturday.

Okay, just due to general demand, I am upping the capacity to 12 - which will mean no cluster's next season as I am looking to find a medium that works and stick with it.
The format will be 4 3-way melees, followed by semi-finals and the final.
I am also going to open signups for 24 hours only, and then randomly pick (well, I won't, the randomizer will) 12 people to enter (and if any of those aren't legal, I will re-roll for that place). This will give people in all time zones a fair chance to enter.

Okay let me be very very honest with you guys, especially those like qwerty who haven't run a large tournament.
It gets REALLY boring. I had 43 bots to AI and work with for RIP3, I pity those, like Click, who CHOOSE to work with more. It drove me mad. It puts you off of the game completely.
So I'm done with big tournaments. Besides, would you rather a fair sized tournament every year or 2, or lots of smaller tournaments throughout the year that keep the interest flowing?

Updated the rules just slightly, nothing major, all standard stuff. I must stress however, when signups open, I will not accept updates due to very limited slots. Be ready, is all I can say.
I would like for maybe 2 people to volunteer as Judges, judging on the old Style, Control, Damage, Aggression criteria. If you would like to volunteer, drop me a PM.
I think we're almost ready for green tick. I will probably put the tick up tomorrow night and then when the tournament moves to signups, it'll be a game of speed. DO NOT SEND ENTRIES BEFORE SIGNUPS OPEN or I will disqualify you.

Basically when I fancy putting it to signups, I can. And then it'll just be the fastest people to get their entries in (that are legal and accepted) that compete.
And Thy, it HAS to be RW - the idea is you take an old RW bot and improve it, build it yourself. Youknow, what you'd imagine it to be like if it were in Series 8. A straight-forward replica could be accepted but I'd hate you for boringness.

Also, I just realised. How similar would this be to NQRW?
Not even VAGUELY similar. In that people were just using components to make something else. I just saw a Beta rammer, and a frenZy SNS. That ain't happening here. (I must add emphasis on that I am only allowing Robot Wars bots into this - I could accept frenZy, but I couldn't accept Beta or Warhead, despite being British teams.) EDIT: Oh and NQRW was DSL Standard.

Thanks man. It's been fun.
