Title: BBEANS6 Signups will open...
Post by: Clickbeetle on January 31, 2010, 07:30:19 PM
...on APRIL 3.


(Barring any unforeseen circumstances, such as work commitments and the like.  I reserve the right to postpone signups to a more convenient time if the need arises.)


ENTRIES RECEIVED BEFORE APRIL 3 WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.  If I get bots before signups officially open, I will just delete them from my inbox and you'll have to re-send your entry.


I'm announcing BBEANS6 several months in advance in order to give everyone ample time to get a bot ready and plan on when to check the forums for signups.  Registration is, as always, on a first come first serve basis.  So now you have no excuse for letting the bracket fill up and missing out.


Tournament Rules:
First, familiarize yourself with the General Rules for All Tournaments (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans/index.htm).


The weight class is DSL LIGHTWEIGHT.


The arena is the BBEANS TOURNAMENT ARENA V2.


REALISTIC RULE applies.  You should all be familiar with this by now.


Tournament format is 64 BOTS, DOUBLE ELIMINATION, 2 MINUTE MATCHES.


Prizes consist of the usual prize components.  The Champion gets the Champion's Sword plus one other component of their choice, the runner-up, the rumble winner, and each bonus award winner gets one component of their choice.


I think that covers everything you need to know.  So get building!

Well lets hope that this actually gets people building. I was hoping this wasn`t another April Fools joke. I will make sure to get building and testing. I am NOT  going to get caught off guard like a few people in BBEANS 5. *cough* most of the vets who wait until the last day to build something *cough*

This is probably the only time anybody here will see me compete in a DSL tournament.

Post by: JoeBlo on January 31, 2010, 09:15:28 PM
hehe Im guessing April was the start plan but you moved it backward 1 day becasue of last year ? :P

anyway awesome unlike last BBEANS I have had the time to prototype heaps of designs  :mrgreen:

My bot has been ready for a long time. I need to tune its AI to perfection...

Would the signups start at 00:00 Central Time?
Title: Re: BBEANS6 Signups will open...
Post by: 123savethewhales on February 01, 2010, 12:25:08 AM
I want to enter, but I don't really want to build something competitive...  Maybe I can come up with something odd.
Title: Re: BBEANS6 Signups will open...
Post by: somestrangeguy on February 01, 2010, 03:28:28 AM
Will definetly enter this one!

Also, 32-bot tourneys are a lot less work than 64-bot tourneys and will get done faster, which is always a plus.

I understand this much more clearly now than ever before! As it looks like TAR will have a full 16 entrants(or more) all with 3 or more bots = 48 bots at minimun!
Title: Re: BBEANS6 Signups will open...
Post by: JoeBlo on February 01, 2010, 04:16:43 AM
32 will be interesting...

41 entered CC3 which was just about every single active DSL builder

going to have to be fast :O

This better not fill up overnight like when I tried to sign up for NW2. I've had my bot ready for 3 or 4 months.

I always get up at 6:00 GMT anyway, which apparently is 0:00 in Minnesota, which according to Sage is where Click lives.

Considering the number of DSL builders there are nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if the list is half-filled or more by the time I sign up.

I need to get building...
Title: Re: BBEANS6 Signups will open...
Post by: G.K. on February 01, 2010, 11:32:29 AM
Under no circumstances will I increase the size to 64 bots (well, almost no circumstances).

Would that circumstance be if you get exactly 32 more bots?
Title: Re: BBEANS6 Signups will open...
Post by: Badnik96 on February 01, 2010, 02:15:41 PM
I have a few possible entries for this...
And GK, I think if the list gets filled up with N00Bs before some guys like The Ounce enters, it will extend to 64.

wrong.
 
GK's guess is better because click isn't as much of an asshole as you just made him out to be.

Hmmmmmm, I always wanted to do a BEANS tournament. Plus April 1st is spring break for me and I already had a bot made for this tourney "Legend Killer". I might as well make this one my last tourney because I thought I would be able to own a lot of people in CC3 but their is no way with that arena that's going to happen I'll be lucky if I get a win, and that's not how I wanted to leave :evilsmile: .

Hahah. Awesome.

You are trapped here forever.  Shortly after BBEANS will probably be another Clash Cubes.  I am also hoping you will be in my tourney when I get that up and running. *hopeful anime eyes*

trapped .. yes

another clash cubes shortly .. no :P I have up to 3 tournaments in line after CC3 so if and when it returns it will become annual like BBEANS

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Signups will open...
Post by: Badnik96 on February 04, 2010, 02:25:20 PM
small bump
BBEANS2 was right after DSL came out, right? So not many people had it.
BBEANS4 was right after the original forums shut down, so there were not many members on the forum.
Now, come BBEANS6 time, Gametechmods.com is a thriving community with around 80 active members, most of which can build DSL.

And you can still make the teams "even" in the AI Pack by making the teams LW, MW, HW, LW, LW, LW.

Please expand this to 64 entries.

several



Under no circumstances will I increase the size to 64 bots (well, almost no circumstances).


Would that circumstance be if you get exactly 32 more bots?


If that happened then yes, I would be hard pressed not to increase the size of the bracket, depending on how much other stuff I had going on.


Or if the bracket fills up and then I get an e-mail from Lu-tze's mom saying that she found a bot on Lu-tze's old computer with a note saying that if Clickbeetle ever hosts a DSL LW AI tournament, to please enter this bot, then I will make room for it.


But it will take a lot is what I'm saying.


I'm not expecting that many entries though, since the DSL BBEANS have historically been smaller than the stock ones.  There's not so many lurkers that appear out of nowhere with bots.
Title: Re: BBEANS6 Signups will open...
Post by: Sparkey98 on February 05, 2010, 09:07:55 PM
really? about Lu-tze? Amazing. I'll try to enter, for laughs, and I built, judging by other peoples advice a pretty good , for me. I'll get destroyed, but oh well.
Title: Re: BBEANS6 Signups will open...
Post by: JoeBlo on February 05, 2010, 10:27:34 PM
I calculate about 10 people missing out ?

CC3 was pretty much every active DSL builder = 41

the stock guys who just wish to enter BBEANS =  3-4

a handful of other little activity members = 2-3

thats 46 - 48, so about 10 people will miss out based on those estimations, I see where click is coming from, not enough really to warrant doubling the tournament. CC3 was able to expand due to the chosen format could be tweaked to suit.
Title: Re: BBEANS6 Signups will open...

Guys, stop trying to figure it out and just get your bots in on time!

32 isn't enough for the best tourney of the year..

err Click was using the Lu-Tze thing as an example

anyway point is.. you dont need to nag click about expending.. you need to just get down to building something and make sure you dont miss the cut

annnnnd

make sure you dont riot like a heap of people did last year.... becasue that was one unnecessary large group noob whacking :P

Post by: JoeBlo on February 06, 2010, 07:03:34 AM
long story short there was quite a few experienced players who left it to the last minute to send robots in and missed out... then started whacking the new people for filling up the bracket...

thats why clicks giving everyone huge amounts of warning before hand  ;)

Post by: Naryar on February 06, 2010, 07:11:06 AM
Wasn't really noob whacking, but that was a flame war.

R0B0 was BAWWWing about BBEANS being filled up with newbies rather than giving a preference to the veterans, I followed the idea (i thnk Scrap did as well), and someone (was it S32 ? I don't remember) completely opposed the thing, and the flame war ended with one single post from Click.

Then came the CW3K part, a few weeks after this i remember.

No offense but I think Joe's estimate is more accurate... Some of the people that were listed haven't been on lately and/or don't play DSL.

I, personally, don't play DSL unless I want to look at one of its mods. Therefore, its not likely that I'll be participating but I might be inspired enough to make some DSL bots.

If you reeeally liked RA2 and wanted to enter a BBEANS, wait until the next one when your a better builder and have a chance.

My list of names

And don't forget guys like Silver, Glenku and Sammy!

Silver would surely have competed in BBEANS 5 if he was still building, Sammy will hopefully come back, Glenku depends of Ianh05. I took Ian off because he doesn't appear to be building at the moment. Plus he didn't enter BBEANS 4 when I an did.

Well cmon S32. Do we really want 8 bots equivalent to the Baby Warrior in BBEANS 6. I have no problem when they are in A 64 bot bracket to fill it up, but if there taking away spots from guys like Inf of robo, then it will degrade the overall awesomeness of BBEANS 6.

Start a showcase and show us then. Its no use keeping it a secret because I don`t think that anyone would build their bot just to beat yours. And it will help you get a better bot, putting you into the "OMG I have a chance to win a match" level of building.

Post by: Virus Bomb on February 07, 2010, 11:40:14 AM
My list of names

And don't forget guys like Silver, Glenku and Sammy!

Silver would surely have competed in BBEANS 5 if he was still building, Sammy will hopefully come back, Glenku depends of Ianh05. I took Ian off because he doesn't appear to be building at the moment. Plus he didn't enter BBEANS 4 when I an did.

From what I've seen Glenku usually enters in stock tourneys.

Hey I am improving that was a loser entry I know but I do have a show case and I'm trying to follow the advice people are giving me plus every one starts off as a noob and works there way up the ladder all I need is practice same with all the other noobs. Besides one randowm bot may end up winning who knows all i'm saying is let them have a go at it you know privided they try to make a killer bot.

You should build something.  I mean you've showcased so many LWs that it seemed as if you were ready to enter any time it arose.

Besides, you're ranked #1 and one of my favorite DSL builders of all time.  I'd be disappointed if I didn't see one of your creations entered.

Duuuuude, nice to see you back to participate in this.


All right folks, NEW DEAL HERE:


It appears I once again underestimated the response for BBEANS entries.  I am beginning to think that a full 64 entries might be possible.


BUT, I don't want to start with a 32-bot bracket and expand to 64 once it fills up.  There is too much incentive for cheating that way *cough*system32*cough* and also some people who rushed to get in early *cough*venko*cough* might feel cheated out of extra time to work on their bot.  This time I want to stick with whatever bracket size I say I'll do.


Therefore, I'm making an interest poll for BBEANS6.  If there is evidence that 64 entries will happen, I'll use a 64-bot bracket.  The poll should be up in a couple minutes.  If you're planning to enter BBEANS6, make sure to vote!

Well cmon S32. Do we really want 8 bots equivalent to the Baby Warrior in BBEANS 6. I have no problem when they are in A 64 bot bracket to fill it up, but if there taking away spots from guys like Inf of robo, then it will degrade the overall awesomeness of BBEANS 6.

I'm glad I randomly searched my name.
 
Search elitism. Besides, Those Bots are probably going to happen anyway, and are good in total.
 
Why?
 
1) They show the builder to get better. Nothing more helpful like an ego getting beaten badly.
 
2) They also show the potential of the other bot.
 
3) They fill up the bracket. Less byes.
 
4) We have 64 vets here? Where?

*Spam cleaned up*  Now quit it... or Bisector will come to your house and cleave you in twain.


I made a mock battle video for BBEANS6!  It's just an opportunity to show off the shiny new intro sequence I'll be using, along with my entry.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWhldQaigzM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWhldQaigzM)


And, I also updated the BBEANS General Rules (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans).  I didn't change anything, I just figured it was about time to add the realistic rule, the prizes, and a list of who can use what prizes.


Edit: Oh, and I should mention this before it's too late.  If you're planning on entering a melty brain SNS... PLEASE keep the tick interval as high as possible!  (Read: higher than Feeblemind or Fireside in Nar AI.)  Those melty brain SNS's can lag my game a lot even when I'm not running FRAPS, and I don't want to be recording 15-minute matches.

ANNOUNCEMENT


Meet the official BBEANS6 ByeBot!


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79157DOAM.png)


Instead of getting a free pass in bye rounds, all bots will face off with Diarrhea Of A Madman!


"But wait!" you say.  "DOAM is no ByeBot!  How the heck are we supposed to beat that thing with a LW?"


Just hear me out.  This is a cool idea.  Here's how it works:


-You get one shot at DOAM in the Bye round.  No best 2 out of 3, and no restarts for any reason.
-You automatically advance to the next round, regardless of whether you win or lose.
-If you lose, then nothing happens.  Your score stays the same as it was before.
-If you KO DOAM, then you get 1 win and 1 KO added to your score.
-If you TKO DOAM, then you get 1 win and 1 TKO added to your score.
-If you survive 2 minutes with DOAM, then you get 1 win and 1 WBP added to your score (regardless of whether you actually got more points or not).


The effect of this is that most of the time, byes work the same as they always have and you simply advance without getting any wins.  But now, you have a small chance of getting a win if you can beat a really tough ByeBot.  I don't expect that to happen very often and it will be something special if it does.


It will also make Byes 1,000,000,000 times more fun, and it's an excuse to bring the Most Fearsome Opponent of BBEANS4 back into the arena :mrgreen:

I wonder how many people will now take their potential enteries and go fight DOAM. I know I will.

Edit: I lost

Just remember that you won't necessarily get a bye (in fact there is a chance the bracket could totally fill up and no one gets a bye) so don't take DOAM too seriously.  It's just a fun way to make byes more interesting.

I can't seem to build a VS that negates H-Spinners consistently. (that was the whole point of Mako and DOAM)

Sadly, If I can't build one that I think can win, I won't be entering.
Title: Re: BBEANS6 Signups will open...
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 19, 2010, 05:12:06 PM

Whoa hey Jules, good to see you again.  Hope you can come up with something to enter (if you do, you'll get your own Team Jules in the BBEANS AI Pack for being in all 3 DSL tournaments).  But yeah LW VS are in a whole different category from MW and HW.  It's hard to pack enough KE to throw bots; most of them are closer to gut-rippers.


I'm assuming you don't have any problem with DOAM being a ByeBot or you would have said something.

Hey Click, is Trovaner Chassis glitch allowed?


Yes.  If it's in the bot lab, it's OK.


(Now I'm curious why you want to know... in all honesty, I don't think it has a lot of practical uses.)

Seism 13 being in the Champion's team didn't stop me from making a Team Firebeetle.  I'll just fill the HW slot with another bot that 'fits' with the rest of the team (and the LW too, if Jules makes a bot and wins with it).

^^ True dat.


But popups aren't that good in the DSL LW division. Sheck spinners however... and even if there are only a few of them,  they will trash through the brackets unless stopped by a superior design.

actually Click said expect a lot of HS and PopUps for BBEANS 5  ;)

but as Naryar pointed out thwe dominance of a (good) LW shell spinner is quite high *points to WTT results*

C. People like Joe and 123stw who enter cool, unused, original, and never the most effective designs

I reserve the right to postpone signups to a more convenient time if the need arises.


I'm afraid I must invoke this statement--I have a statistics test on Friday and don't want to be worrying about BBEANS entries on that day.  Therefore I am postponing signups one day, to SATURDAY APRIL 3.


Hopefully a one-day delay doesn't interfere with anyone's carefully laid plans.  Just look at it this way--you have an extra day to work on your bots!

D: I hope you didnt loose your robot AoR, Reinstalling the game would give you a clean version pontentially overwriting your robots (depending on what team they are on)

If it doesn't export, I suggest you take it directly from the teams folder.

that ^^^ is the correct thing to do, jump into the teams folder and locate the bot file, copy and paste. then you can do a reinstall if you like so long as your copy and pasted robot is in another safe location

Fortunately, by, "it utterly failed to work", I mean it didn't even try installing. I've checked and my bots are safe.

How long does it usally take to fill up the brackets? I need to know if I need to stay up untill 2 AM my time to enter or if I can enter after I get some sleep.

It's always taken several weeks to fill up the brackets in previous BBEANS.  Usually there's a rush of entries at the beginning, then a lull where I might get one or two entries a day, and then another rush as the registration deadline approaches (however, since I always end up extending registration anyways, I will just not set a deadline this time).


So it should be safe to get some sleep.
