OK, Semi Final 1 was just plain unfair. I know he lost but it does seem very harsh.

I refilmed about 200 times and every single time SKBT destroyed him, so I just left it at the closest match.

Wow, you make it sound like you film each match you do lots of times and just pick the on average winner, that's not how it's supposed to work. You film the match and the result is final.

Forgot to mention the closest one was the first one. I always keep the first match I film.

I'm sorry but there's no way my flippers should have fired that early.

Well I couldn't refilm it because it was the first match I did. :P

And yes there was, the SZ was slightly forward of the edge of your flipper. You're kind of a sore loser about these tourneys.

NFX · « **Reply #133 on:** December 26, 2011, 05:42:09 PM »

Is that why he didn't fire when The Highlander was on top of him?

cephalopod · « **Reply #134 on:** December 26, 2011, 05:53:04 PM »

I think it should become standard for all tournaments to have a 'no complaining about AI' rule - you can AI it yourself, then it's your fault if it doesn't go right, and if the host AIs it, they shouldn't have to make it 'perfect' as the competitor is using their services and it's their risk, etc.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #135 on:** December 27, 2011, 05:00:39 AM »

If the host says they can AI, then I'm surely to assume he can AI the bot to function properly...
Flippers flip bots that are on their flipping arms, not ignoring those on top and also not firing when bots are in front of them.

martymidget · « **Reply #136 on:** December 27, 2011, 08:09:27 AM »

Then stop whining and do your own AIing next time, sheesh. Or at the very least place the smartzone where you want it to be..

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #137 on:** December 27, 2011, 08:52:24 AM »

I was going to refer to the signups rules about AIing but they seem to be non-existant :S

Badnik96 · « **Reply #138 on:** December 27, 2011, 09:43:48 AM »

ugh

if you Ai a flipper then the flipper should flip bots on its flipping flipper, not before the flipping bot is flipping on the flipping flipper.

so there.

NFX · « **Reply #139 on:** December 27, 2011, 10:12:16 AM »

You always run that risk if you leave the AI'ing to the tournament host. If he'd AI'd it himself, how he wanted it to operate, then this problem wouldn't have arisen. I'm going to side with freeziez and marty here, if you wanted to be sure that something like that wouldn't happen, then you really should have AI'd it - or at least placed the smartzone - yourself.
