Because you suck?...or is there some other underlying reason?

First edition of the rules.

Quote

All-Out DSL Duels

General Rules:

-DSL.

-No custom/Stock/cheatbot2 parts at all (excepted custom smartzones). An exception might be made for hovercrafts if both contestants use them.

-Realistic rule. No stacking and burst enhancing. EFFeing, axle loading and snapper loading are accepted if they could be implemented in real life. No overlapping, though a diminutive amount of overlapping will be accepted. No AAM.

-All weight classes accepted including SHW's (800.1-1200 kg)

-Arenas allowed:
Deathmatch: DSL Tournament, Drum of Death or Combat Arena
KotH: All
Tabletop: DSL Blade Arena or Claw Top

-Possible bot type selection (optional).

How to Enter

-Challenge someone. Both duelists will agree with the weightclass, the arena used and the (again, optional) bot type selection. Do NOT fill the thread with details, just agree by PM and then announce the challenge on the official thread.

-Send the AI-ed bots to me, as secret entries. I insist, AI-ed. I will not interfere in any way on how the bots fight and will NOT tweak the AI. Custom .py's allowed.

-I WILL require a minimum bot quality to enter. All bots will have to be at least decently built to enter.

-I will then post quickly a mini-splash of the two bots, with a few additional info.

-Then several days later a vid of three 3-minute matches. I will give my marks for the bonus points, but will only confirm them later (i'm sure there will be reactions on these marks)

Seasons

A season will consist of 10 duels. No builder can get more than 2 duels in the same season.

Ranking and Points System

-A succesful duel will make you enter into the duelist ranking.

-Points are primarly based on wins but will be modified by several bonuses:

KO: 15 points
OOTA: 15 points
Immobility: 12 points
WBP: 9 points

A 3-0 score will award +10 additional points to the winner.

-Bonus points
Bonus points will be additional points given to a bot . These will be awarded on 4 domains: Building Skill (max +10), Combat Prowess (max +10), Aesthetics (max +5) and AI-ing (max +5).

On Season 1, I will give the additional points, but will take constructive feedback into account in my awarding of these.

On Season 2+, I and the three best duelists will give them.

-Penalties

Each Havok that will affect mildly the outcome of the match will remove 2 points. A havok that helped a lot a bot will remove 10 points, and a havok that obviously gave the victory to the havoking bot will stop the match, and that will be one match removed. No restart.

-Effect of Ranking on points won

On Season 3+, a ratio will be created for each duel. It will be (Total points of the loser/Total points of the winner). The winner of the duel will then have it's points won multiplied by that ratio.
That basically means that a high-rank duelist won't get many points by winning a duel against a low-rank duelist, but a low-rank duelist will get more points by winning a duel against a high-rank duelist. Ratio can't get under 0.5 and over 1.5.

Notice that new duelists are not considered having 0 points (it would mess up the system).

Here. Any feedback? I might change a few things... and will create the Splashes and Videos thread when finished.

Also, can an admin change the thread's title to "All-Out DSL Duels : Rules and discussion" please?

Very cool Naryar, though why did you quote your rules?

Naryar · « **Reply #26 on:** March 29, 2009, 06:46:10 PM »

To separate them from the rest of my post.

And Circle of Thorns will kill Zapper 9.

You know what, Bane could probably take out Zapper 9. :D

Because some crazy IT guy from the Philippines said that Hamachi was a virus, removed it, and I know that my parents would freak out if they saw it again and delete it.

=[ Bummer.

Somebody · « **Reply #37 on:** March 31, 2009, 02:50:37 PM »

Yes, but I can still play online using IP addresses. Its good enough that me and Condor33 fought online with Ragnarok and Screaming Death with minimal lag. (over 10000kgs of combined bot)

Reier · « **Reply #38 on:** March 31, 2009, 02:52:37 PM »

Hey, can you teach me how to do that? I want less lag.

Urjak · « **Reply #39 on:** March 31, 2009, 03:38:57 PM »

Less lag sure would be nice. :)
