Forum's Choice Annihilator - Signups closed

[yugitom]

Considering I just finished a tournament, I don't want to rush straight into another but I do want to know what people on this forum most want in a tournament.

This is a discussion thread for now but may be changed into a tournament thread depending on interest.

I am planning on running an Annihilator type tournament where there will be matches of 4 with people going out one by one (you should know what an Annihilator is.) However, I want some input on what to make the tournament. In other words, the forum will make this tournament, I will just be hosting it. These are the things I want your input on:

Let's build this from the ground up then, judging from votes for each detail.

Rules:
Game type - Stock
Weight class - SHW
Unlimited entrants
1 entry per person
I'll AI if you can't

Building rules:
SHW is up to 1200.0kg
In-game glitches are allowed, apart from hax mode.
Out of game glitches are banned
Cheabot2 is banned
Walker/Crawlers/Shufflers aren't allowed. Multibots can't be used in a 4-way match
You can update you bot as much as you want before signups end

Match rules:
3 minute matches
Arena will be The Octagon with hazards on
One restart due to a havok, two havoks then the robot causing it will be disqualified
Judging will be done by points scored

Entrants:
1. RedAce - Cataclysm
2. Kungfooey242 - SmeshyDerp
3. Thrackerzod - Whirling Disaster 2.0
4. Wacky Bob - Moss Monster
5. 090901 - pomf =3 tank

Red - Problem
Black - Received
Blue - Accepted
Green - AIed

Hazards on.

Any arena preference?

[Mecha]

Not exactly, there's too many. :P

[RedAce]

I'm cool with DSL IRL but no AW please, I was gonna have an AW tournament similar to what you plan on doing. For cheatbot2 parts, I was thinking the MOE Motor and the Judge Burst only. Arena? Whatever floats your boat man, I really don't care.

Stock UHW

Just kidding, I would be more likely to enter if it was Stock/DSL-S SHW. We don't have very many of those around here. I think a good arena is the DSL Tournament arena or RA2T#2 arena, as they both have reasonable walls and equally reasonable hazards. No cheatbot2, though.

I tried UHW and it seems SHW would go down the same way. I'll take it into consideration though. I guess SHW is much less heavier than UHW now that I think about it, so I guess more people would join.

SHW and UHW kills everybody's computers. :P

DSL-S SHW spinners only in an enclosed arena

[rnifnuf]

I was joking about Stock UHW, hence why I struck it out and followed with "Just kidding." But I think that Stock/DSL-S SHW in RA2T2 arena, hazards on, no cheatbot2, would be fine. If SHW can't work, then HW would be great.

[Wacky Bob]

I'm really in the mood for a Stock SHW tournament. Probably a hazardless combat zone would work best. Plenty of tournaments have focused on lighter weight classes lately, so it would be fun to turn that around. SHW is big, but not too big.

I was comparing it to my UHW tournament, I knew you were joking. A Stock/DSL-S HW tournament in the RA2T2 Arena seems like a good idea.

I don't want to rob you of that ingenious idea, 09. Try making that tournament yourself, ha ha.

SHW Stock seems alright.

DSL-S unrealistic UHW with cheatbot on in the small arena with crawlers allowed.

[helloface]

Stock UHW in small arena no cheatbot.

[Natster-104]

Stock UHW in small arena no cheatbot.

They'll get stuck in the walls then...

It would be quite funny, though.

Stock LW, AW Tournament with OOTA walls. No cheatbot. No SNS, Popups and HS.

I'll put the most requested types in a poll tomorrow or the day after and see what I'm doing.

Not a bad idea. I'd prefer LW to AW, especially in stock.
