You're kidding right, ofcourse that comment's true, more weight to play around with means more possible designs, simple.

All DSL is is a bunch of boxes with pipes coming out of it and a bunch of loopholes to a realistic rule nobody follows.
 
All Stock is is a bunch of boxes stacked together.
 
If you honestly think that there is a scent of any sort of "variation" I hope to never see your goddamn wardrobe:

Yes. He is unbelievably smug about that. I liked that idea, I would like another crack at it. Insecticide was just far too half-assed.

I've been thinking of some interesting bracket ideas:
1: A win/loss bracket
                -Winners go one way loser go the other. So we have 16 winners and 16 losers. Winners battle leaving 8 win/win and 8 win/loss. Losers battle leaving 8 loss/loss and 8 loss/win. Then each of those battle again etc. This will leave us with one w/w/w/w/w in 1st then a w/w/w/w/l in second all the way to a l/l/l/l/l in last.
2: Weird vote idea
                - Splash is posted, then each competitor votes for who they most/least want to face. (e.g From 1 to 15 in a 16 bot bracket) I will tally up who is most wanted to be faced and that person will face his/her 1st choice in round one. Then I will tally it again, removing votes of the two bots already chosen. The next most popular will then be given his/her 1st available choice to face. This would lead to interesting matchups.




What do you think?

Actually, the weapon and speed are very good indeed on MOE, but the battery power needs sorting out.

I liked Insecticide, but it was unlucky to come against the crawler, IMHO. But to be honest, another Realistic Stock tourney would be a fun idea.

Would be fun.

Also, SM's idea seems like quite a good one, especially on the voting system. Maybe that could be implemented in a tournament in the future.
