This is true. This is why I won't go with it straight away, like I said, I will make a poll tomorrow.

The concept Tom was going for with No Holds Barred was a pretty new, interesting metagame too Nary.

Again, very true and I didn't get many entries for that. However, SHW is much lighter than UHW, 3800kg difference in fact. I'm sure people can make a bot 400kg more than usual rather than 4200kg.

I'm not familiar with the arena. It does seem that the majority of people here want a stock tournament and I think I can rule out IRL (I didn't want to do an IRL tournament after F&S 2 anyway.) I'll add one or two DSL-S options to the poll but I won't be surprised if stock wins.

UHW are terribly laggy, there was Clash Of  The Titans but that's one only one tourney, and he had to ban flails (well, limit them to 4) cause otherwise, just imagine how laggy it would be, plus they take a while to build

i mean last time i built an UHW it crashed my game due to large amounts of components. And now the bot file is unavailable. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

We should make a 2500kg weightclass for tournaments, I think.

We could also arguably put a hard limit on number of components for UHW building.

There does seem to be a significant difference between SHW and UHW.

I know there are a lot of options but I want to make this the forum's choice. You get 2 choices, if you want. That's if you can't decide between two meta-games.

I'll soon reduce the poll size to the top 3/4. I will also put polls up for things like, is cheatbot2 allowed? Are in-game glitches allowed? Etc.

I've reduced the poll down. If it ends up being stock LW, I may give the option to have several entries per person. If any of the others are more popular, then I may still give the option to have 2 entries per person.
