Title: [STOCK MW] Light vs Dark 3 - SIGNUPS CLOSED
Post by: Thrackerzod on May 16, 2017, 09:10:58 AM
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94329lvd.png)

BORING RULES
-Stock MW, unrealistic building style.
-No cheatbot parts, custom parts, etc.  This includes recoloured ones.  The exception is flamethrowers, which are allowed.
-Multibots are not allowed due to rumble matches.
-SnS are not allowed.
-Crawlers are not allowed.
-BOTS MUST SHOW CONTROLLED MOVEMENT.
-No BFE, AAM, EXP, or whatever other crazy acronym you guys use.
-Rule of 7 break is allowed, other SergePatcher features are not.
-Arena will be the Parking Lot Arena, hazards on.
-Matches will be 3 minutes each.
-If you don't AI your robot yourself, it gets Omni.py.
-Havok rule: Matches with major havoks will be rerecorded and not shown.
-I reserve the right to disqualify any bot.  Life is simply unfair.
-You may send updates until the signups period ends.

THE GIMMICK
-First, I'll hold a single elimination rumble tournament.  It'll be rumble format to minimize the number of matches.
-Whoever comes first and second will become the team captains.
-Each team captain gives their team a name (or would it be funnier if they named each other's teams?)
-Captain 1 selects a robot to be on their team.
-Captain 2 selects a robot that hasn't been selected yet to be on their team.
-etc.
-Once all robots have been assigned to a team, the actual tournament begins.
-Each team captain secretly tells me one robot on their team to send to battle.  I run the fight, and the losing robot is eliminated.
-Repeat until one team is out of robots.  The other team wins.
-I will enter only if the number of robots would be odd otherwise, however, I cannot become a team captain.  Should I come first or second in the rumble phase of the tournament, I will skip over myself when choosing the captains.
-My robbot is Rotary Macerator:

SIGNUPS:
-Shield
-DemonOfTomorrow
-Dreamcast
-Fracture
-RedAce
-Badnik96
-F1Krazy
-Kurt

I will not be hosting an IRL tournament.  Mainly because I do not want to have to judge if things are IRL or not.  Hence the "[GONE WRONG]".

Then pull a Redditbots and say its FIRE ruleset: **** It, Real Enough. Then you can just shrug and let it in.

I don't really have much of a clue for which Meta game you want Thrack, the only clue you gave was that "as long as it's not IRL" to avoid judging the bots over realism.
Personally, I want it to be either Retooled-S or DSL-S for the sake of testing my building skills and having more variety over the amount of IRL Tournaments that were held over the forum. I have nothing against IRL, but there needs to be a good mix of Meta game tournaments. Ironforge or Stock is alright I guess, but don't expect me to enter the former. Besides, I don't this argument over the metagames to end up like what happen on the Wen Wars discussion post, since that ended up with DSL-IRL Elitists trying to persuade Wen to make it IRL while some users debated over the popular vote of Ironforge unrealistic if they should go ahead. So, go ahead and pick what you fancy.

My thought was that the other captain could try sending a bot to counter the one they expect to fight, so if one always sends the same bot that gives the other an advantage.  In theory.

can you two get a restraining order or something
this
also dark al better pick something like stock but you can only use sledgehammers or something like that.

This is going to be tougher than I thought. I'm stuck between both Stock unrealistic and DSL-S. But I was almost moving towards Retooled-S due to the lack of Retooled tournarments, but no one really builds in Retooled except some people like Redace. So it's the battle between DSL-S and Stock Unrealistic. I'll reach a decision soon.
Edit: Just incase I picked the wrong choice:

The meta for this tournament will be Stock.  The next thing to decide on is the weightclass, and any potential building gimmicks.  Go crazy.

I dunno, a Stock CW tournament would be good to see. Yeah, yeah, "CW is for IRL only feg" but it'd be fun for a Stock CW tournament to happen nonetheless.

Though I will have no regrets re-entering Kestros MK.II into this tournament if it is Stock MW. Sorry ;P

Building one bot after a long hiatus from the mod doesn't really count as "building in Retooled."


But yeah, stock.  I'll see if I have anything lying around for this.

You're only allowed to enter HS or one-wedge popups.

Right then, it's officially MW.

Next thing is to decide an arena.  I'll start up a poll with the next five arenas posted in this thread.

Most of the recent stock tourneys have been MW.

So if you allowed Pizzaguy2020 to pick in the first place, what was the point in setting up the poll?
I'm aware that the poll was set up first before Maths Adventure: Good Robots Die (MA:GRD) finished, but you never made any mentioning about Pizzaguy or whoever won MA:GRD actually was chossed into picking the arena in the final say of Light vs Dark 3 on both this board and the MA:GRD board. This is no problem because at the end of the day any arena is better than no arena, but the twist was just completely out of the blue like if this was so sudden.  But I'm not going to be stopping you doing these twists, Just that most of us were not expecting it, despite the popular vote of the poll.

Yes, now I understand what you said: When you said the later quote like most users, I clearly thought that this poll would be for the chossed arena before you decided that Pizzaguy picks the arena. But as you stated in the former quote as stating the obvious, there is no mentioning of the poll going to be used in the first place. I'll have to make sure that I read carefully before assuming that you'll use these polls for next time.
But do carry on with what you are doing.

Best logo that I've seen. It's a shame you didn't add in any of the "Gone wrong" gimmicks, but I'm happy with the rules even without adding any gimmicks into the mix.

I like to alternate running one very gimmicky tournament (such as Math Adventures or Ribcage Rampage) and one normal tournament (such as D5, D52, and ironyforge tornoment).  This one just happened to fall into the "less gimmick" spot.
