Author Topic: ELBITE Supertournament: Important Proposal concerning a Major issue. (Read 4052 times)

Gigafrost · « **on:** April 17, 2010, 09:29:04 AM »

Good morning everyone, a really long time no see, I hope all is well.

Now I must both apologize and confess on behalf of my absence and the massive tie in with my college schedule. I had become overwhelmed with my own life to the point that I became completely preoccupied with ELBITE. I'm taking up a career in web design (which is very demanding) and i never really had a chance to get some free time with this wonderful forum. But technology just isn't on my side since i've left...

Luckily however, Things have died down, and now that I'm back on the forums, in short, I guess that you and I can both agree that the current robots that have competed seem a little "dated". To top it off, as i said before with the technology/server issues, due to some bug on my system (or virus), my computer was not able to power on. The only option was to completely reinstall my Operating System, thereby, losing not only most of my ELBITE things, the competitors, the arenas, and the robots, but everything I ever made previously on Robot Arena 2, RA2GE, and all. It's been a while and now, coming back, I feel ashamed having to come back to you with such a devastating story. But as one famous person said, "____ Happens."

I guess all I'm asking is that if it is ok with you guys for me to re-open the ELBITE SuperTournament, so more people can enter and so i, no, we, can start afresh... It's completely in the hands of the staff and i understand completely if they disagree with it at all. I just really want to contribute to this forum for my loss and am willing to announce it not only to ACAMS and comp. but to the community, so you all know the reason as to why this thing hasn't been up and running like it should. I really want to finish this awesome event and i know you all want to as well, so your input is greatly appreciated.

Regards, Giga

You might be able to salvage some of the bots through your PMs. :D

Yay Welcome back Giga, your absence has been greatly missed by many including myself.

that is a sad tale to hear of all your work lost for sure.

A fresh start is welcomed from the circumstances so long as you follow the structure (discussion, signups then eventual videos)

if you need any help be sure to ask

Sorry about the loss of your work Giga.

Good to see you back.

I dunno about the class for EBLITE. I'd need to think about it.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #9 on:** April 17, 2010, 12:17:22 PM »

Good to be back thanks everyone.

G.K take your time. So far the tourney is in the direction of being Stock HW.

Oooh, that'd be nice. I can test TrippeR 7 or make TrippeR 10.

lloopp D lloopp · « **Reply #12 on:** April 17, 2010, 12:23:55 PM »

Awwww.

But tourneys full of 36HSes and poopups(:D) are boring!

Badnik96 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 17, 2010, 12:24:41 PM »

DSL MW FTW!!!

Naryar · « **Reply #14 on:** April 17, 2010, 12:26:37 PM »

DSL MW... let's keep it the original way.

System32 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2010, 12:28:40 PM »

I'd like to see DSL MW.

G.K. · « **Reply #16 on:** April 17, 2010, 04:28:24 PM »

Argh I hope not. I can't do DSL MW to save my life. :P

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 17, 2010, 04:33:30 PM »

I've voted Stock HW. I like that, so I thought it'd be a safe bet. Just as long as we don't get entries with 50,000 Irons on flail spinners...

Since when do stock spinners use flails?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #19 on:** April 17, 2010, 05:08:30 PM »

Currently the tournament is falling in the direction of DSL MW with Stock HW falling close behind, all of the rest have one vote so far:

STOCK - LW

1 (5.6%)
STOCK - MW

1 (5.6%)
STOCK - HW 6 (33.3%)
DSL - LW (Realistic Rule)

1 (5.6%)
DSL - MW (Realistic Rule)8 (44.4%)
DSL - HW (Realistic Rule)

1 (5.6%)

This poll will close on Monday, so be sure to get your opinion noted! I am still waiting ACAMS as well, to see if it is ok for me to redo it. Hopefully I can redo it.

@ Golden Fox - I will consider the use of flailing weapons and the billions of Irons. A originality rule maybe. in the meantime, i doubt that will be an issue.
