Post by: Probably Rob on October 20, 2013, 11:28:30 AM: I'm actually annoyed, I just made a robot, but it's heavyweight. Even on the lightest armour, it's still heavyweight!
Title: Re: Breaking Point - Discussion
Post by: helloface on October 20, 2013, 11:32:12 AM: Is this the Tournament #1 arena, or #2?
(the one with the big spikes or the ones with the discs)
Title: Re: Breaking Point - Discussion
Post by: MassimoV on October 20, 2013, 12:02:06 PM: Yeah, I'll enter.
Title: Re: Breaking Point - Discussion
Post by: Mr. AS on October 20, 2013, 12:08:45 PM: just so you know, multibots dont really work with 3 competitors. even if you have 1 team be the multibot, and the other team be the other 2 competitors, the MWs will just gang up on the multibots.

I believe the term is 'challenge accepted'.

Post by: helloface on October 20, 2013, 02:50:58 PM: Isn't this basically Rob's tourney then?
(either way I'm entering, but still it could use some variety)

Post by: Hydro on October 20, 2013, 02:52:31 PM: Sounds fun. Would love to enter, but there are issues on my end.

Not at all.

Kurt has come up with his own (as far as I know, unique) format for the battles which he posted in the discussion thread, and evidently had enough good feedback for him to start it up.

How many tournaments have 15 robots in? :laughing

Post by: Philippa on October 20, 2013, 03:19:38 PM: Changed the rule regarding multibots, they are now banned.

The brackets are cool, but imo other than that it's basically Rob's tourney.

Post by: Probably Rob on October 20, 2013, 03:37:06 PM: Y'know, I probably wasn't the first guy to use the format. Just enjoy the tournament.

Post by: Badnik96 on October 20, 2013, 03:39:05 PM: so why do maz and rob get reserved spots again?

I sucked him off in a back alley behind a bar in Vegas a couple years back.

...

But yeah, expressing interest doesn't usually mean a reserved spot, Kurt? :confused:

Title: Re: Breaking Point - Discussion
Post by: Philippa on October 21, 2013, 01:33:19 AM: I'll wait until signups to put who's expressed interest then. They aren't reserved spots.
Is there anything else should be changed?
Title: Re: Breaking Point - Discussion
Post by: Philippa on October 29, 2013, 02:28:43 PM: Guess I might as well give this the green tick.
Title: Re: Breaking Point - Discussion
Post by: Philippa on December 19, 2013, 10:21:00 AM: Things that go BUMP in the night...

So yeah, added a poll, given 15 is an odd number I'll PM Craaaaaaaaaig when I get 8 or more yes votes.
Title: Re: Breaking Point - Discussion
Post by: Philippa on December 21, 2013, 09:01:18 AM: Quad post, oh butts.

Come on, 3 more votes guys.
Title: Re: Breaking Point - Discussion
Post by: cephalopod on December 25, 2013, 04:23:22 PM: This topic has at least half the entry size in yes votes and has been submitted to me, so...
This is now a signups topic! The following rules cannot change.
