Title: Bring your A Game
Post by: That Robot is a Spy! on August 15, 2011, 10:32:45 AM
This'll be a standard 16 entry tournament. I have decided to scrap the Community Choice because it was too complicated.
Here are the rules:
1: DSL HW
2: No cheatbot2
3: No BFE or AAM
4: Four Pools, with 4 bots. Everyone will have at least 3 matches.
5: Matches will be 2 minutes long.
6: If time expires, winner will be decided on points.
7: Realistic Rule applies, but not IRL.
8: Multibots are allowed, but may not weigh more than 400 kilos per bot.
9: Walkers are not allowed.
10: Bye bot will be M.O.E.
11: You will receive 3 points for a KO, 2 for a WBP, 1 for a loss and 0 for a DQ.
12: In case of tie, Sudden Death will take place, where there will be NO TIME LIMIT and will only end when one bot wins.
13: Glitches are allowed if they are realistic.
14: If a bot havoks once, the match will be restarted, if it does it again it will recieve 0 points or be eliminated in later stages and 3 points will be given to the opponent.
15: I can AI, but PLEASE do it yourself, as I am a complete novice at the art.
16: The fun stuff: Your robot MUST be centered around a video game. It can be Duke Nukem, Space Invaders, Modern Warfare 3, WHATEVER GAME YOU WANT. However, only 1 person may use a game. For example, No Two Team Fortress 2 bots.
17: I'll need help making a splash.
18: 2 robots will go through from one pool. The winner of Pool A will face the Runner Up of Pool B, The Winner of Pool B will face the runner up of A, The Winner of C will face the Runner Up of D and the Winner of D will face the runner up of C. Then, winner of Fight 1 will fight winner of Fight 3 and winner of Fight 2 will fight winner of fight 4. Then the final
19: There will be rumbles at the end, each pool of bots will fight each other in a 4 way match and the winners in another 4 way match to find the Rumble Champion.
20: If you want, a Champion of Champions match will be set up for the Rumble Champ and the Official Champ.

1: Jack Daniels: Archaic Maul (Guild Wars)
2: MikeNCR: Fisto 3 (Fallout: New Vegas)
3: HurricaneAndrew: Arena Robot (Robot Arena 2 DSL)
4: Madman3: Grand Delta (Final Fantasy 6)
5:
6:
7:
8:
9:
10:
11:
12:
13:
14:
15:
16:

Also, the arena is DSL Tourney Arena. May be skinned, may not be.

Gaff was effective.
Also, can you say the games you've centered them on.

Your robot MUST be centered around a video game. It can be Duke Nukem, Space Invaders, Modern Warfare 3, WHATEVER GAME YOU WANT.

Smashysmashy's bot was declined for the following reason:
Both bots (Morpheus only just, Neo a bit more) have weapons which intersect the batteries. You are welcome to try again.

Flattering, maybe, but the points system is identical, except it is suited for two bots rather than three

How is this a ripoff? Your robots were randomly drawn against each other, while mine is similar to the football Champions League.
Yes, the points system is similar, but there's no way that a tournament can be completely original. (triple elimination, Backlash, Hammers only etc)
Not a ripoff in the slightest in other regards. Mine's DSL and yours is stock anyway.

Well TBH, 1 maybe uncalled rep-down (which can be corrected anyway, BTW), don't quite deserve a torrent of abuse. A few days ago a brand new member was given -4 straight away for bumping a topic, without any complaints at all.

PM has been sent, all has been understood, forgiven and sorted out, so I don't really see this as an issue

And I'll send in a bot for this, (providing it's an OOTA-able arena ;))

I come here with terrible news:
My laptop can barely run FRAPS with 3 robots on Stock. I doubt it'll run 2 robots DSL. Therefore, I am thinking of calling the tournament off. Yes, I know I'll be banned for 90 days, but I have to do it. Major technical difficulties. I think it's my processor, it's incredibly frail and I'm not sure how I'll improve it.

I've used WeGame for all of my tournaments and I think Vertigo does to. My computer slows things down a bit, but it's free and doesn't have a watermark like some others.
