You really gotta resize these things before uploading them dude
Definitely this. I skip over extremely large images 9/10 times and never look at them again.

So, J's dropped out. On the hunt for a replacement again!
Just recorded Trov's Bro and TRB, their match will be up soon. For now, have Kill vs his bro:

I'm considering making a tournament. I have several questions as I'm reading the rules:
- If I accept bots that are AIed by the competitor and not me, do I have to have the very same smart zone pack installed that the author had? This is a rather technical question but I think it's relevant here.
Good question. I'm not too sure if it matters, really. Just as long as the robot is clearly working as intended and it doesn't crash your game, you should be good to go.
- What are the standards for the images and videos I upload for the tournament? Is it OK to just show the raw video capture, and let the viewers "feel free to fast forward through the boring parts" and "feel free to start your favorite music player to cheer it up"?
The only bare minimum standard is that you show the end of the match where the winner is clearly presented. You do not need any fancy editing at all.
- How I'm supposed to receive the bots, is there a standard way, or do I need to publish an e-mail address to do so? (danger of getting spammed)
Via PM.
- It seems a lot of tournament descriptions have a lot of exclusions (like excluding whole robot types or AI modes). Are these required to have an exciting tournament?
That's relatively subjective, it's all up to you. Most bans and exclusions will depend on the host's preferences on what they want to see in their tournament, not necessarily what they think will make it the most exciting (although, it may be a good idea to keep that in mind, just so people enter :P)

This is excellent, shame I'd literally learned how to bypass rule of 7 a few days before this was made, something everyone has wanted.
Thank you Serge :)
Forgive me for assuming that you're talking out your ass, but how did you do it, and why didnt you tell anyone? Seems pretty co-incidental that you discover a method for bypassing a rule we thought was set in stone for over a decade a couple days before another method was publically released.

Well, it won't necessarily be an RA3 change, this would and might apply to RA2, as well. I'm not basing any rules here on what I believe RA3 will be like, just how I want to regulate how live tournaments go down.

a few points:
-pinning is the main tactic for rammers/wammers, hammers and quite a bit of gutrippers. does the fair play rule bans them outright ? that seems unreasonable.
Rammers don't pin, they just ram people into walls. If they decided to stay and keep the opponent pressed up against the wall, I imagine there'd be no sport or fun in that at all.
-equally, hit and run should be a valid tactic for fast bots. isn't back-and-forth what rammers do ? (May not be exactly hit and run, though)
When I say hit and run, I suppose I mean more end game to secure a win (however, that may be tolerable) or constantly having small jabs at the opponent and quickly avoiding them for the rest of the match intentionally. Rammers hit and then reverse but then they come back for more, they don't run. A robot may hit the opposing robot and run around and try to find an opening, but avoiding the opponent for the entire match, in my opinion, is not a good display of sportsmanship and makes for a rubbish video.
Besides, hit and run has no point unless you are very fast and agile and your enemy isn't. also there are no ranged weapons, apparently, so it makes it even less worth. Not to mention that hit and run tactics will just let the opponent being rammed if you follow him closely.
-entrant liability seems quite harsh. besides i think if someone is always late, people will become aware of it and stop wanting him in tournaments, so it will be an unspoken rule.
I don't think it's harsh if someone is continues to halt progression of the entire tournament(s) due to their tardiness. Also, it's not a case of just avoiding people like that because, to be fair on entrants, tournament hosts must work on a 'first come, first served' basis, so anyone new to the forum wishing to start their own tournament won't know about their history of tardiness.

With RA3 coming out not long from now, I have decided to start thinking about new tournament rules and regulations in order to adapt to how tournaments will more than likely be organised, which is non-AI, human controlled. Below will be my draft of the new regulations I have in mind and I would appreciate any feedback, even if it's a simple post saying, "that's alright with me." But, if you do not like something I have proposed, please feel free to tell me what you'd do instead or whether you believe it just doesn't belong there to begin with. Universal Fair Play Rule:- No pinning (a strict definition may be needed but I think a reasonable person should be able to tell when they're pinning or not)
- No 'hit and run' tactics
- Avoid participating in a tournament if you believe your internet connection will leave you at a disadvantage (this allows for no-one to make the excuse that their internet connection was/is shoddy)
New points which a tournament host (hosting a human controlled tournament) must address:- How many times they will allow a competitor to disconnect before being DQ'd
- How long competitors have to set up a time with each other and the host to record the match
For human controlled tournaments, hosts may, as a last resort, simply allow competitors to have a match and report the results back to the host via screenshot if the host cannot turn up to record the match. Similarly, if two competitors cannot seem to arrange a time, the host may, as a last resort, have the bots in the match be controlled by the AI. There shall be increased tournament completion time for human controlled tournaments (as hosts now have to rely on other people.) Entry Level tournaments shall have 4 months to be completed and Major League tournaments shall have 12 months in order to be completed. Entrant Liability Rule:If a certain entrant in a tournament(s) displays tardiness more than twice, an entry ban shall be applied to them. I suggested the ban length, initially, should be perhaps a fortnight to a month and then repeat offences would incur more every time. I know that looks like a lot but I have tried my best to make sure it encompasses any troubles we may find ourselves in if human controlled tournaments become the norm. So, after all of that, what do people think? I appreciate any and all feedback on this.

Fair enough, I suppose. I just hope you get the spark back when RA3 comes out and we're doing BOTM's in that. Even though you may not win all the time, you add to the variety of good splashes/bots and you are consistently good.

If that's what you were going for, why stop now? Go out winning if you want to go out on a high note.

What's with the BOTM hiatus? Over-saturation?

Do you need 'get' the name from anywhere? I don't even know what that is but I'm familiar with the use of 'absolute madman'.
Also, you fooled me because I thought you were #4 :P

« on: May 03, 2016, 05:13:05 PM »
So.... Are we making this legal for tournaments/BOTM/etc?
It depends on the tournament :P

The goal of the popup.py is hitting other bot only when the chassis is within the smart zone.
Isn't that just Omni? Or, any other .py with smart zones involved?

i wonder if J wants to duel tomorrow on DN =p
This should be the stuff you guys need to pm'ing each other about.

I don't think you can have self-imposed deadlines. I can't exactly remember how long you have, but I believe you have a set time to send stuff in after the thread goes up.

Oh no, I wasn't insinuating that you were auctioning it off for him, either. I'm just saying, I'm not looking for one, so I wouldn't go open some packs to find it.

I'm not the most avid fan on Pokemon but I've recently been getting into the VGC youtubers (Wolfey, more specifically.) I can't get used to watching singles battles anymore :P

Right, eco and J, you guys have to sort out a time to duel and be sure to lemme know when it's going to happen.
....
Could I request that our match isn't recorded?
You seem rather pessimistic about this entire thing :P You don't have to take any of this seriously, you know? If this entire tournament goes tits up for you, no-one will really care/mind. But, if that's what you want, sure. Just be sure to tell me what deck you're using/planning to use. Sneak Peek yesterday got me lots of cheapo cards. Only RR cards I managed to get were 2 Pain Lanius (which is decent) and 1 Booster Strix (which is fairly terrible). No-one of where I was polled Skip Force or Ultimate Falcon.
Friend of mine was lucky and pulled the currently most expensive card, Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries.
I'm not/wasn't that excited about SHVI, tbh. I didn't really care for the sneak peeks because there's nothing too enticing in the set, for me. I never usually run hand traps either, so I'm not looking for a GR&WC.

You're awesome, Serge :D It should be interesting to see if tourney hosts allow people to bypass rule of 7 on thier entries or not.
I'm thinking about this, as well. Hosts would probably have to wait until people start showcasing bots that use this to see if it can lead to absurd and/or op results. IRL tournaments will probably be the ones that use it almost all the time.
