I appreciate the discussion about the rules guys and seeing stuff is being considered but can it please not be here? Thank you very much! In other news, I'll be posting a special rumble and hopefully Heat F later for a triple bumper kart of action!

perfectly fine system
Read: "ruleset I was winning under"
> implying I was winning because of the ruleset
Okay, lets see what your last few challenge matches have been:
-vs Orc for DSL HW title: IRL against someone who rarely builds to win (you actually ended up losing this one, despite entering your usual psuedo-gutripper fare)
-vs LRA2 for DSL HW title: IRL against someone who builds to win and seeks "victory at any cost" (in his own words) but fails miserably at it
-vs Boto for DSL LW title: IRL against someone who thought submitting a skyscraper was a good idea
Looks like you were scooping up titles by trying to curbstomp IRL builders.
Because they would only build IRL, and every other mod/meta is pretty dead, so DSL-IRL was my only option for title matches. I even said I'd prefer to do DSL-S matches but nobody would agree.
I was the one who asked Badger for IRL. I do think IRL could be used as a meta but we need to come together as a community to decide rules and regulations. I don't really build in anything else nor do I want to.

Another good set of battles, also well done for having the patience to film these as I knew they were irritating you due to havoks! Predictions for the final 4 Winner Bracket bots are...Wood Chipper, Vulkan Class SH, The Iron Wall and Bad Dreams 2/Jungle Stalker

Firstly to Ceph: I don't see where Hoppin suggested tourneys for select/certain people. As far as I can tell, neither Ironbound or Orc's Wars were discriminative with who entered. True that they aren't GTM tourneys per se and it could be better if they have a place on the side.
If it's a tournament on GTM, and it's not open to *all* GTM users but only certain circles...
I mean I had no chance to enter either so
Wasn't a certain circle for Orc's Wars, I asked others on GTM and outside of it but didn't want everyone involved as it was a test and didn't want to screw loads of people around (which fortunately so far, doesn't seem to be the case). I wouldn't have been able to ask people to join in the Personal Tournament section anyway from what I can gather. Maybe I could, I don't know and the rules aren't exactly clear/modern which is why it's being looked at now thankfully. In any case, you're more than welcome to enter the next tourney I do, IF I do one.

Okay so I'm gonna come in and play bad cop here.
What you're suggesting is essentially just regular GTM tournaments, but only open to certain people.
If a tournament on GTM grounds is taking entries, it cannot be discriminative of what groups of people or where you're taking entries from. People can't be left out just because they're not in a certain server/group/whatever.
You're of course welcome to host these but they're not GTM-sanctioned tournaments so shouldn't really be in the GTM Tournament section.
My idea for the display tournament section is to remove it entirely and move everything in there to Off-Topic, but that's me.
As currently written, display tournaments are specifically not to accept entrants of any kind. This was written at a point in time where we were essentially the only community involved with RA2. With the recent instances of redditbots, banter wars, etc, we feel as though this deserves a rewrite to accommodate these additional avenues of RA2 content that are not centered around GTM. We are currently in discussions on how best to bring you the best of both worlds.
We run our tournament section the way we do because we want to guarantee to you that your time won't be wasted when a tournament isn't finished or is run improperly or unfairly. We have staff that are specifically dedicated to ensuring that these run smoothly and in a reasonable amount of time.
For a game as old as this, we think it's important that we, in some way, shape or form, offer a platform for people to share and enjoy any content that relates to it. We hope to find a balance between the two sides to this issue.
Please understand that this is an issue that has just now gained our attention. I'm not interested in making sweeping decisions by myself or with minimal input. I don't always have the best answers for everything. I'm dedicated to making sure the staff as a whole gets a chance to be involved with these decisions, so they take a few days sometimes. In the meantime, we ask you to please respect the rules that are currently in place.
If you don't mind me just saying a few words about all of this. Firstly to Ceph: I don't see where Hoppin suggested tourneys for select/certain people. As far as I can tell, neither Ironbound or Orc's Wars were discriminative with who entered. True that they aren't GTM tourneys per se and it could be better if they have a place on the side. Like Hoppin said, I did Orc's Wars to practice as I didn't want to just jump into an official GTM tourney and bugger things up while showcasing everyone else's robots at the same time. People deserve to know who made certain bots as it gets people to check out showcases for inspiration...for example, Dominotrix by Kurt in DemonOfTomorrow's Annhilation Nation: if it wasn't for that tourney, I wouldn't have known about it OR would I have joined GTM to learn and talk to the people here. I also should thank Banter Wars for that too. In any case, we should be allowed to thank/reveal the people who sent robots to these tourneys, official or not. It's only polite after all! However these side-tourneys shouldn't be classed as off-topic, they are related to RA2, a game we all love and should have a home somewhere if possible. Kill: That sounds a lot more reasonable. I'll continue posting in the Off-Topic but the fact it was so sudden kinda disheartened me. I don't fully agree with why it was moved but on the flip side, I'm happy this topic is being looked at. I hope this gets sorted soon and I hope tourneys like this don't just get brushed off to the side and forgotten about. Me and Hoppin have spent ages planning these out and while they may not net us host points or whatever, we did them because we wanted to and this is kind of a slap to the face. We want to improve our talents before going off into proper hosting, showcase some great robots and overall have fun! Thanks for reading guys!

I've noticed it doesn't include IRL in the poll choice. Will you at least put that as a seperate title so those who like IRL and want to have something to fight over can do that?
Yeah, I noticed this so have held off voting as of now.

i say do a best of both worlds system
run the challenge belt as the main belt (think the major title of WWE, the WWE Championship), and then have individual meta titles (including an IRL title to keep irl people happy, but make it so the IRL title and IRL fights have absolutely no standing in relation to the challenge belt) for all the metas which act as minor titles (like the United States/Intercontinental Championships from WWE). Keeps everybody happy but pares down the titles from about 18 down to 4 (DSL, Stock, IF, IRL).
i support the idea of the challenge belt but deleting the old titles doesn't feel right imo
either that or hand the old titles to somebody else to run seperate from the challenge belt. i wouldn't mind running them, but i know i've not been here for much time at all and so i'm not qualified enough.
^ This tbh. I really like this idea. For IRL though, there should be rules in place so that there are no complaints.

Probably the most memorable episode so far! I'm gonna predict Enceladus, Mind Sweeper, B-Lizard and Hornet to be the final 4 for the HW Winner's Bracket!

challenging orc to the DSL HW title
dsl s or irl your pick, also how does the robot wars arena (2016) and bo3 sound to you? Any other rules just say :>
Talked to Jamie and we've decided on: DSL-IRL, RW Arena 2016, Best of 3, Robot Wars Styled Judging (Damage, Aggression, Control) and 2 Havok Restarts per bot per round
Also can we possibly have Doot to host please?
If you're doing IRL it can't be for the title I believe
I thought it was for the challenge belt
I was under the impression that the challenge belt is flat-out replacing titles
As far as I'm aware, hasn't been replaced but we'll see what someone says! Help plz!

Heat E is here! Yes there was a large havok in the 2nd melee but it was minor compared to all the other ones that featured in filming and it didn't have any consequences really!

I have no idea what the **** a TRBDF is
Honestly, I have no idea either. People have messaged me about it and I'm just so confused.

[ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
Just because you keep thinking it's a TRFBD, it won't suddenly become one.
Well okay, maybe it isn't! I don't know what to think or who to believe anymore!

gg my man
and **** trfbds. worse than cancer tbh. xd
Don't be sore because you lost, that robot was perfectly acceptable, no rules saying trfbds were not allowed to be used! It was a fun matchup.

Well I don't think there were any problems that time. Must say, that first round win was amazing, looked like Blood Moon just clotheslined Reptilium! Good fight Badger! With this aside...I look forward to my next challenger, we did have a list...so who's next? Also reminds me...thanks for hosting Kurt!
