Back to the Roots - Signups

[Mystic2000]

yeah, first time, and as for splash, at first i would work on it as i recieve entries, but i quickly started to get completely disorganised and the bot updates meant i had to edit existing parts of the splash and all, i suck terribly at being organised, i'm finishing the splash and making a challonge account to generate the brackets

and the bot updates meant i had to edit existing parts of the splash and all

Yeah, sorry about that.  Good luck with getting everything together!

No problem really, it's entirely my fault for being unable to handle this, i'm starting to think that there will be no Back to the Roots 2, or any other tourney by me, which is kind of a shame since i had some ideas, but i really have no confidence on my ability to get this done, i made this tourney to not be useless (what is it with me and my obsession of being useful to gtm ?), but if i fail, i betray all the 15 people that have entrusted me to finish this, and if i do it once, i'd rather not do it again.

soooo... after finally trying to stop procrastinating and finishing the splash (kill me you guys), i've noticed after checking for the bot file for an smartzone issue on battledutchman s'bot that he has a custom component in his bot:

Components\Styles\lt_beltdrive4.txt

dunno what is that thing, but it's definitevely not stock, so now i dunno if i should reject his entry and have an empty spot or try to delete manually the component from the botfile

[cephalopod]

It'll be a component along the lines of a Perm. Can't remember what it looks like though.
More hassle than it's worth to try and remove and it's not Stock so personally I'd just reject the entry and get someone to throw in an entry quickly, even if it's you with a bye-bot.

Pretty sure it's this


I would give him time to update his entry. while he should know what stock is, you probably should have checked his entry back when you received it weeks ago.

[...]or try to delete manually the component from the botfile

This is not an option, I'm afraid. The host cannot alter any of his entrant's bots (unless it's for the gimmick of the tournament.) You accepted his entry to begin with and did not inform him that his robot was illegal. Due to this, I advise you ask him about altering his bot before outright rejecting as you should have rejected it around the time it was sent in and before accepting his entry.

[Mystic2000]

Alright then... he has by monday to update his entry, or else i'll replace it with a byebot of my own....

(i swear this is most likely the last time i'll host a tourney)

[Naryar]

That's a pointless bump, but this tournament needs to move forward so it will have that purpose at least.

So what are the news ? Did battledutchman change it's bot, or is it byebot time ?

[Mystic2000]

Update has been recieved, i just need to stop being a little procrastinating bitch and proceed forward (please Yugitom, regardless of whether this tourney will be completed or not, after this, apply to me a permanent ban on hosting tourneys)

[yugitom]

(please Yugitom, regardless of whether this tourney will be completed or not, after this, apply to me a permanent ban on hosting tourneys)

I'd never do that :P First off, no-one has ever received a permanent tournament hosting ban. Also, I'm sure you'll have the willpower not to host another tournament if you think you can't stick to deadlines. I wish you the best of luck finishing this tournament in time :)
