Havoks that completely change the outcome of a match should result in a restart. Just a havok that does nothing shouldn't be a restart.

the point I was making about that is.. in Naryars case, NARAI wars specified disqualification on havok, that is why its a mandatory rule to add in tournaments, but thats the hosts decision, they could have havoking allowed if they want, thats why I dont think tournaments should be dictated by this

thats a good point.. it was really for 2 player like the soccer arena.. race to beat the other robot to a win, hence the name

just thought it would be a good idea, perhaps its not worth the effort though

Hooray for more rules  :rolleyes:

one things are not very clear

what if a perfectly mobile robot just simply doesnt break count ? (it does happen) and becasue the owner AI'd it they cannot appeal ? yet Clickbeetle does issue restarts for that ?

My Thoughts

Havok rules should be specified in the rule set, that is a requirement so no debating over that one.. thats at the hosts discretion what happens in a havok situation.

AI errors are AI errors and shoudl be fixed and trialed to see a difference in results, if it improves the match is refilmed. people will complain about its unfair the match restarted but what about the first match ? your opponent had an incorrectly AI'd robot? and thats fair is it ?

if a robot doesn't use the strategy you want (different python, controls wired, etc) and you didnt specify with the host what you wanted, you have no case we are not mind readers so  we cannot predict, its your job to wire everything correctly and specify what you want it to do. In this event I usually fix it for the next round but there is no do overs for that match.

(this one is my own personal rules so people may not use it)

while these can be used as a sample or template I dont agree with them imposed on all tournaments, it should be up to the host to use them otherwise they have some aspects of there tournament out of there control

ooookk.. let me clear up some things

If you cannot AI and you are sending in an entry it is your responsibility to inform the host how you want it to operate, nobody elses I made this very clear in Clash Cubes 3 so is anyone complained it used a different python, etc was there fault and there fault alone.

Match restarts are fine so long as there is an obvious issue that effected the match, you can tell the difference between abuse and an actual error, rather then dealing an absolute (yes or no on the restart) you should investigate, for 123 / Avalanche I fixed up the mistake in the bindings and tested it out in different scenarios to see if it actuality was hindering the robot itself.

There results were vastly different so the match was recorded once again (so there is no, "having luck in a do over match" it proven in testing its fighting better so whatever happens in the match happens.

Also Badnik I know the annoyance of people complaining over tournament outcomes but there is no reason to get that angry over it, you dont get anywhere, I know I didnt set a great example over that but hey I am human too but I have learnt better ways.

??? what you told me in pm was a different story but im under the impression its corruption in your botlab

have you tried to make any custom components recently, modded anything ? or perhaps got some stuff from an inexperienced modder, etc... a single component can sometimes reject the bot lab from loading

I have tested over powering many times.. while there is a limit at some point you can reach more power then using just the minimum

yeah 3 is fine... 4 would perhaps be ideal but not essential

I drew up complete plans for a new arena that was originally intended for CCIV but I was going to use it for my next upcoming tournament instead but who knows, this arena was a bit to controversial for such a high rated tournament I think.

you dont have to vote all awards...

well what about if we worked on it together ? (or group work with Mad if he started it) Mad spoke about a similar project too....

if we complete it as a group its less of a work load for all of us.
