Title: Cruisin' For A Bruisin'
Post by: martymidget on August 05, 2012, 06:20:10 PM

Right, since I can't find the original thread I made 2 years ago, and I finally have fraps, I think we could give this another go.

1. DSL Standard, no hax mode, no BFE, AAM etc. Trov glitch is allowed, but I'll hate you for it.
2. 600 kg weight limit- this should make most of the bots new, and make you think slightly more about weight and where to use it.
3. The only cheatbot2 component allowed is the pillow of doom. No others.
4. There will be a minimum building skill requirement- talking latest NAR AI standard here. I want this to be a tourney where people are on the edge of their seats.
5. No bot restrictions. However, SNS and SS will be AI'd with FBS unless you do it yourself.
6. I can AI, but I would greatly prefer it if you did it yourself. As the only bot I'll bother with AIing to perfection is my own, it will probably benefit you too.
7. Any "YOU AI'D IT RONG" type complaints will have their bots ripped to shreds by a UHW and posted on the front page for all to see, as well as being DQ'd. This does not apply if I did actually AI it not to the persons specification. If it doesn't work as you thought it would, and you complain, tough.
8. 1 havok restart per bot. This counts as a game changing event- e.g a bot being inverted for no apparent reason after it tears a flail off another bot.
9. 2 minute matches, so be sure to make as deadly bots as possible. Invincible low damaging bots may be entered, but will recieve no brownie points.
10. Double Elimination brackets.
11. Arena- I'm thinking RA2T2, or a slightly modded DSL tourney arena with higher walls. Hazards off.
12. 16 spaces, with a wildcard if there is enough interest. I myself will be entering, but I can relegate myself to the wildcard if necessary.

Red= Something wrong
Orange = Bot recieved
Green = AI'd, all good to go.

Crusher of complainers-


Only bots PM'd to me directly will be considered.
Signups will close on Monday 3rd September.
Updates- 1 can be used between sending and when signups close. However, if the update is drastically different (ie new bot type) from the original, you will be moved down the queue.

You could probably afford to drop armour and weapons in this, so I imagine fast rammers and gutrippers could do well.

EDIT: FS sounds like the best option for me.

You receive yours on February 30th.
 
Also, does the one havok per bot rule apply to the round, the match, or the entire tournament?
Title: Re: Cruisin' For A Bruisin'

I would recommend your COTT UHW to be the UHW but you can take your pick of any of the COTT entries.

I think I'll up it to 2 restarts per bot for the whole tournament, maybe even 3.

Do you mean one that doesn't havok or a firestorm flipper with the correct AP?

This one time, I made a bot that made me hide under my bed and cry all night.

This is that bot.


This time, it's back to eat complainers. And it is stable this time, I assure you.

Just before I update the first post, is it possible for me to host a wildcard if necessary, and what would the limit on the bots be?
Title: Re: Cruisin' For A Bruisin'

4 bots in a wildcard maximum if you want a rumble.

It'll be a round robin, to be as fair as possible.

I'm pretty sure the rules restrict it to only one wildcard match but I could be wrong.

At the end of the tourney, can you film my bot against dat UHW? Just for a laugh?

I now pronounce signups tentatively closed. I'm not really sure about a wildcard now though. :L

However, you still have till the 3rd of September to send in updates and AI.

For the wildcard, I need to know what the rules are on it before I continue with it.
