Title: Donut of Destruction - Signups Closed
Post by: Thrackerzod on February 19, 2015, 11:06:53 AM
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71540DoD logo.png)

So I want to run a tournament.  It'll probably be a disaster, but hey, you never know.

Game: DSL 2.1
Weightclass: MW
Realisticness: DSL-Standard
Arena: FlexTop, hazards off
16 entrants
1 v 1 matches - 3 minute limit
Single elimination
No cheatbot parts
No BFE, Hax, or whatever other crazy nonsense

I can do AIing, but feel free to send your own line if you prefer.
Bots can be updated one time after submitting them.
Havok explosions will result in a match reset.  Matches which end in a havok will only be shown if they are particularly amusing.
I'll enter with Dirty Dan:

Robots must be submitted by by 2 PM (UTC-05:00) on March 20th.  If there are not 16 entries, some robots will get a bye for the first round.  There will not be a byebot.

Entry list:
1. Thrackerzod
2. Avalanche
3. Pizzaguy2020
4. Tibsy
5. P3PSI
6. RedAce
7. Kurt Wylde
8. RammingSpeed

Oh I am so entering a Homer Simpson bot if this gets approved.


Rules don't look to bad, but the havok rule doesn't seem specific enough. Will there be a penalty for havok at all or will it be for show?

I assumed that tournament had a gimmick in making circular bots, or donut bots

I wasn't going to have a penalty, just run the match again.

That'll be the sequel, Donuts of Destruction.

Hopefully you're going to use the fixed Flextop and not the one that pivots.

Turning off hazards makes it not flop all around.

Oh ok. Didn't realize that.

Added a deadline for submissions and protocol for not having enough entries.  Anything else need adding or changing?

My only issue is the AI really likes driving into the middle hole, at least in my experience.

I did a few test matches and it seemed to be okay.

Should I go ahead and set up the poll thing or... how does this work?

You can set up the poll whenever you want. You'll need half your full amount of entries worth of 'yes's to carry it over to signups (in your case, 8 'yes's.)

Post by: Thrackerzod on February 19, 2015, 06:48:20 PM
Can I vote in the poll or do other people have to do that?

No one can tell, so why not? Ha ha. I don't do it but it's your choice.

Depends on how many votes it gets, I suppose.

Sitting at 5 "yes"es right now; just need three more to get this show on the road.

Alright, we've made it to 8 "yes"es!

You'd better hurry, the deadline is in just over a day.

You might wanna fix the title then. It still says less than three days, which is true, but it would be a more accurate reminder.
Title: Re: Donut of Destruction - Signups - One day left to enter!
Post by: Thrackerzod on March 19, 2015, 10:59:49 AM
Oh good point.  I'll just put it at "one day left".

Welp, signups are officially over.  I'll start working on the SBV stuff.  If you can submit a bot before the SBV goes up though, I'll still allow it.
