All right, here's the deal.
The purpose of this poll is to determine whether to run a 32-bot bracket or a 64-bot bracket.
I'll run the 64-bot bracket if there is good evidence that I will get 64 entries. What I count as GOOD EVIDENCE is a high number of Option 1 and Option 2 votes. I'll make a conservative estimate and say I'll get 10 entries from people who don't vote in this poll. So, what I'm looking for here is somewhere around 50 or so votes for options 1 and 2, with somewhat less weight given to Option 3, but I will still take it into consideration.
YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR VOTE ANY TIME so don't feel compelled to vote #1 if you don't actually have a bot ready. You can update your vote once you do. If I get a bunch of #1 votes and then I go with the 64-bot bracket and then nobody enters, I won't be very happy. Please don't do that to me.
Note: Even if I decide I can get 64 entries, I won't necessarily do a 64-bot tournament. I'll do it if I can, but I'm not guaranteeing anything.
This is your chance for a bigger tournament, so let me know your status!
-
VOTE IT UP!!!
Just finalizing my bot :-).
Little busy watching them Olympic things right now though /offtopic
-
Picnic Attack needs to get back onto the forums to vote.
-
First I was unsure if I enter cause I don`t want to waste space with another tourney fail bot. but when it`s a 64 tourney I have to choose and modify a robot.
-
I've been ready since before November. I don't remember an exact date.
-
I'm Ready! I'm Ready! I'm Ready!
-
22, almost half way to 50 in 1 and 2!
-
Meh, I got a few LW's lying around. Will probably modify one for this. (But there are a few ideas nagging in the back of my head...)
-
only need to re-texture my bot but it is ready to fight whenever it is needed.
-
Yay we're over half way!
-
texture done. well... now i just have to wait for the sign-up to open.
-
I have an updated QuickSilver ready for combat!
Now to test it...
edit: It gets out-weaponed by Gearhead... Must rebuild!!
-
30 people now, it's going well.
-
Come on, 19 more people vote! (I know Picnic Attack will when he logs on.)
-
I have worked on a couple prototypes, Click. You can see them in my showcase.
-
So, we have 47. If Click wants a full house, then there's 17 more people to go.
I think if we get to 48 though he'll upgrade to the 64 bracket from standard rounding.
Or he could take a more cautious approach with.. 56 bots or something.
-
1 f them isn't entering though....
-
Good point, I should look between the lines. 46, 18 to go.
-
Come on more people!
-
it's to bad i can't get my friends into this. they don't want DSL. and the one that does have DSL can barely make a proper robot.
-
Still, better a rubbish bot than none at all, if it makes the difference.
-
i will try and get him to it. anything for a bigger tournament.
-
I already have a bot ready,now I play the waiting game...
-
Hey Dawnzu, has Temi voted?
-
There's also a few people that don't come on this forum much anymore(inf, pyc) that probably haven't voted but probably will enter.
-
@G.K. Yes. Temi voted today...
-
ok, good news, i got some friends into this. they are willing to join BBEANS6 and are now practising in building bots with DSL. i think we can maybe count 3 extra people in now.
will see how it turns out.
-
yay! I think I can persuade IRW as well if he really has to.
-
T_Koistinen has lost his password but he will make another name so he will maybe enter too...
-
T_Koistinen lost his password but he will make another name so I think that he will come to BBEANS too...
-
counting options 1, 2 and 3 we have 51!this is looking good.
-
56 now :P
-
that happen outside of counting the options?
-
56 people have voted.
-
i didn't count option 4 and 5.
-
I might get my brother (027LightningBolt) to enter. Add one more for #3 please!
-
I could see if I could get my sister to enter, but don`t hold your breath.
-
my mom might enter :mrgreen:
-
13 more people! Come on!
-
? you said RA2 was kaput
-
Sparkey's DSL is fine.
-
what do you mean by kaput? did your RA2 get damaged?
thanks, BTW
-
I bet I could get Nerd500 to join this.
-
We could all go on and on and on about how many people we could get to join this...
But when Click decides to actually do a 64 bot bracket... we better take this speculation and turn it into a reality. As it stands right now, if every active member on the forum invites 2 people to possibly enter the DSL tourney we will be fine. I have a couple of old players in mind that I am going to message.
Sparkey seems to be no stranger to sending emails to vets all over the place so if we all work together when it comes to crunch time a 64 bot bracket should be a breeze.
Moms? Sisters? Unborn infants? Bah!!1! Just go through the members list here on GTM and pick a few familiar names to get in touch with ok?
-
If my brother's Email worked he would be on GTM...
-
if my friends would hurry and actually show themselfs here instead of making weird attempts to a DSL LW. the vote would be slightly higher. and on the attempt part, i don't know what they are doing but as i here it, nothing they make actually work in any way. i really wonder what they are doing.
-
OK guys, it's been less than a week and we're already at 37 responses for #1 and #2, 52 with #3 included. By the time April 2nd actually rolls around, we might even be over 64 (but I'm NOT doing a 128-bot bracket. There's a limit to how much I can handle and 64 is about it.) I think it's safe to say I'll be starting with a 64-bot bracket.
So, just calm down. There's still OVER A MONTH until registration starts--you don't need to persuade everyone and their mom to enter just for the sake of a bigger tournament. If registration opens and it turns out that the poll gave an overestimate of the number of entries, then you can rope your friends and family into this.
-
i am very calm! ... ... in 8-bit...
but really, my friends have been trying to make something. they really want to enter, and so do i. this just shows how much we love big tournaments and how much we like BBEANS.
and with over a month of time, i might want to try and make my entry better.
-
and dont make flippers for enclosed arenas :mad:
-
that is not something to be mad about -_-'
-
The BBEANS arena isn't enclosed...
-
i know i'm just saying make robots perfect for the arena that your gonna enter the bot in
-
i don't have a flipper this time. need to practise making good flippers with DSL, and then keeping the bot LW. until then i have a robot to enter, may slightly edit it in time. i should overall make some more bots, i now barely have any choice or still need to build something.
-
Still thinking of an idea...
-
same thing
-
Mine is waiting for signups to open
-
Same here! :evilsmile:
-
Me too
-
I am in agreement with the previous statements.
-
Still working on a bot...
-
Same here. By April, I think it'll be ready to roll.
-
We should get Jules back.
-
My bot is ready to roll. :bigsmile:
-
We should get Jules back.
That's not a bad idea actually. Maybe we can also get Harcsa in.
-
I'll Eamil them :)
-
im entering just need to think of a bot that will stand to the standards of other builders around here.
P.S @Sparkey its spelled Email.
-
whoops :mrgreen:
I sent Jules an invite. Man, I had no Idea hed been around since '04!

-

-
That's 64 votes in the first 4 categories!
-
YAY!

-
Is it possible to enter multiple bots?
-
Against the rules, but it is possible if you manage to sneak one in *cough*S32*cough*
-
OH SNAP!
-

That was for a good reason. If I didn't, half the vets wouldn't have got in.
-
The end justified the means?
-
Is it possible to enter multiple bots?
*Thought about 2 AW multibots*
-
changing vote cuz I have a bot now.
-
Hey powerrave, have your friends voted?
-
not yet as far as i know, one has joined this community and asked me how to enter bots. explaining stuff on teamspeak now.
-
Ok.
