So if you remember about two years ago I did a tournament known as "Robotic Murder Party". If you're unfamiliar with the concept, it's a Stock MW tournament where you do battles against other bots, where losers must survive in mini-games. It all comes down to the living and dead fight to who earns their right to stay alive. Basically, Trivia Murder Party from Jackbox games, but with bots. Was pretty fun in the end, if a bit complicated. I didn't really think of doing a sequel, but then I notice a lack of stock tournaments, and watching stock bots fights can be pretty fun as well. So most of this may remain similar, but with a few changes to hopefully make certain mini-games more interesting, and hopefully everyone enjoys it really.
GENERAL RULES:- Stock Middleweight
- 16 Entrants Maximum
- One entrant per person, but in the event that signups are going slow, I will allow people to send a second bot.
- I'm willing to AI if you are not able to, but don't complain what I AI'd your bot or you will disqualified automatically (It will not change once the SBV thread is up.)
- You cannot enter unless your bot is received and accepted.
- I won't be entering as I will building some bots for the minigames (See Minigame Rules for more details).
- Unless your bot is PixelCruncher by WenXiangLee, then you cannot send me the same entrant you entered from the last RMP (they did die after all.)
BUILDING RULES:- General stock rules apply
- Middleweight bots only (249.1 - 399.0 kg)
- Your bot must be one that you built yourself and showcased in some way to prove that it's your design (this is to prevent placeholder bots, or bots straight up copied from another builder, and on top of that, you CANNOT send me a simple re-skin of someone elses bot and call it yours).
- You cannot use BFE, AAM, Hax, Component Freedom, .txt file editing, etc.
- I will allow most stacks that have been done multiple times, but if I find something highly questionable, then I will ask you to show me the proof if it's legit.
- The Rule of 7 Break is allowed.
- AI parts are allowed, including the 140 cm extender.
- The only cheatbot2 part that is allowed is the Flamethrower.
- The only custom components that are allowed are from 090901's and/or Sage's Skin Pack and Madiaba's Smart Zones.
- Smart Zones will not count toward weight, but you cannot use them to act as a ballast
- Bots must have powered two wheels minimum, and both wheels must show any form of controlled movement.
- Crawlers and Multibots are banned.
- Bots will not be AI'd with Meltybrain tactics.
- Modular designs are banned.
- I recommend bots that are the best of your ability, so Jokebots, replicas, IRL style bots, etc. are allowed, but bear in mind that you will be at a severe disadvantage.
- You can make an update once and only once (The only exception if it's a skin change or anything minor).
- If an updated bot is illegal, then I will use the original bot you sent me.
MATCH RULES:- 2 minute length battles
- 1 vs. 1 Battle Format
- Best of 1
- Main Battles will take place in the ELBITE Tournament Arena (Re-skinned)
- If a bot does a Havok Explosion which costs the match for it's opponent, that said bot will get a free restart, if this happens again, that bot will be disqualified.

- There will be most likely going to be ten videos released on a weekly format, with randomized draws for each of the battles and mini-games.
- You will earn the amount of points that you had at the end of every match.
- The Winners of the matches will sit on the sidelines, and earn an additional 10000 points (Ghosts will earn 5000 points). The losing survivors will have to fight for their life in a mini-game (You will earn points if you do participate in these mini-games).
- Survivors and Ghosts will fight among each other in their own respective groups.
- Whoever has the most amount of points in their respective group will sit out for one round.
- The last bot standing will advance to the final round (See Final Round rules).
Minigame Rules:Losers will have to try to survive in the various, randomly-chosen mini-games. If you do badly at the mini-games, then I'll kill you, and then you become a ghost (Ghosts can still win the game, so don't give up hope). Here are the mini-games you will have to fight each other in:
Special Note: If there is a lone victim in the killing floor, then everyone else will participate, and if any of them beat the lone victim in the mini-game, then the victim will die.

THE SICK SICK SIX:
- You will face off against 6 MWs in a set order.
- These battles will have a two minute time limit
- The arena used will be the DSL Tournament Arena (Re-skinned)
- You will face each bot, 1-on-1, and if you win, you will advance to the next bot.

- The last bot standing will escape and win the game.
