1) What's wrong with Ironforge? If you guys tell me I can think about changes.
2) What's wrong with having a comparable bot? It just means you can't have beater walls etc

It's really that I'm just having a hard time getting used to it. I didn't say I won't enter because it's Ironforge.

I want Ironforge. I'm buiding in that more than DSL now.

Just ban beater walls, I don't think finding a comparable bot is all that necessary.

You don't have to find a comparable bot, you just have to know that type of weapon system was used on a real life bot - eg no beater walls on pistons. It goes hand-in-hand with the bots must not be more effective than they would be in real life rule.

Signups will be opening on either Wednesday or Thursday and I imagine they'll fill fast - have an entry ready!

3) IRL rules - bots can ONLY be as effective as their real life counterparts, and must have a real life comparable bot.

I don't understand why we have to find a real life comparable bot, that's isn't even IRL anymore that's just Replica. I suggest changing it to

This is enough to ban all the beater walls and anything else that tries too hard in pushing the efficiency boundaries, without turning this into replica war.

That being said I will try to release v0.4 later today.

I restate, by comparable I don't mean 'the same'. It's not replicas, it's knowing a bot that has a similarly functioning weapon system. But seem as though it confuses most people for reasons I don't know I might remove it.

It's good to see you're entering with Woff Dog. Ha ha, that'll be cool to see in action.

Hi guys. I'm opening signups for this - if we can get this filled within a day or so, I'll be able to finish it up before I go away for around a week on Thursday.
The rules above cannot change, this tournament has a year. Etc. :P

cephalopod · « **Reply #73 on:** August 07, 2014, 08:57:06 PM »

Kurt Wylde, 090901, MassimoV and 123savethewhales accepted.
TBD Devastator not accepted as it's not IRL.
If the tournament fills before he sends a valid replacement, the place is up for grabs.

cephalopod · « **Reply #74 on:** August 08, 2014, 06:38:42 AM »

TBD's update is accepted.
6 spots left - if we can fill these today I can get the tournament done before I go away :)

Jaydee99 · « **Reply #75 on:** August 08, 2014, 08:53:36 AM »

Wait, isn't out-of-botlab editing BFE? I'm probably wrong.

cephalopod · « **Reply #76 on:** August 08, 2014, 08:55:01 AM »

Yes, 1 type of out-of-botlab editing is BFE. I fail to see your point as I allowed BFE for realistic purposes.

cephalopod · « **Reply #77 on:** August 08, 2014, 12:50:08 PM »

Martymidget accepted. 5 slots left. :)
