General Tournament Discussion

[Mecha]

this is probably predictable, but
STOCK

[Thrackerzod]

Would anyone be interested in a Scrapheap Challenge in Stock or Ironforge?  Or would that be stepping on Kurt's toes too much?

[Conraaa]

I'd ask Kurt if he has any plans to do any more Scrapheap Challenge tournaments and go from there.

I'd probably be interested though.

Also people send in your stuff for Pot Luck 2. Please.

Stock LW would probably work best if someone is doing a Stock version at some point.  Even you dude.  Ironforge may be harder since it has fewer components to work with.

I did like the first Scrapheap Challenge, so as long as Kurt doesn't mind, go ahead.

[Philippa]

I was planning on doing another one of them actually.

Wouldn't make it Stock because of the lack of components, and I've not played around enough with Ironforge to know if it would be any good.

I, as usual, am waiting until the very last moment to send in my entry in case I think of anything better.

Alright, I'll leave it to you, then.  Really, the only reason I brought it up was because the name "Trashpile Trial" popped into my head the other day, and I thought it'd be a fun name for a knockoff of Scrapheap Challenge.

I think Ironforge could be fun to do, with all the different variations of available parts (especially the weapons).

[Thrackerzod]

Alright, since people seem to not be into the wacky gimmick ideas, but I'd like to host something, I'll go with a boring regular double elimination kinda deal.  I was thinking about LW Stock or Ironforge, since I haven't seen those floating around recently.  Any opinions?

What about...

...stock IRL.

I know, it sounds dumb, but I've made some pretty good looking ones. I'm pretty sure the more talented builders could do the same.

the problem is if you are working in stock on irl why wouldn't you be in dsl working on irl since it just has more parts.

[Thrackerzod]

I don't like IRL-style building, so probably not gonna be hosting an IRL tournament.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

Because nobody has done it before, and it requires more creativity. Think of it as the main challenge of the tourney.

sorry but it's been done, albeit not for a little while

Something I've wanted to do for a bit now is Ironbot Jr. - same as Ironbot, but having LWs with a division for stock, DSL, and IF (no bracket relation between the three) with some other minor rule changes. If you don't know, the goal of Ironbot was not necessarily to win matches, but to keep your bot as in-tact as possible, as once you lost a component (with a couple exceptions), it was gone for the rest of the tournament. I'd love to host something like this since I'm a major tournament host now, but there are some things I need to know first.

-Am I even allowed to do this? This is blatantly ripping off of Click's idea, name and all. I'm not sure he'd be okay with me doing something like this, but he's hardly around, and I don't know if we'll ever see an "Ironbot 2" from him with how busy he is.
-If allowed, would you guys want to enter? I'd like at least eight bots per division, and I'd be implementing a time limit to have robots sent by. If you guys want this tournament, then hopefully these rules will help, as I don't usually have the best of luck with getting people to enter my tournaments without being obnoxious about it.

Thoughts?

Would this be a bad time to bring up Strict BB SHW? I know it was cancelled, but...

...well, why?

looking back, i feel like the concept and especially execution of the idea was pretty pathetic. i don't have any inspiration to make any more replicas anyway

any comments on my tournament idea, anyone?

[Mystic2000]

someone should do a Mad Max style tourney with the IF guns

[Hercules]

i always wanted to see a rumble of crawlers in a bouncy arena... crawler tournament?

[El Chickenado]

i always wanted to see a rumble of crawlers in a bouncy arena... crawler tournament?

for me it would depend on dsl or stock

if it was dsl it should be unrealistic to allow diversity (there´s diversity in crawlers, dont look at me like that)

[Jonzu95]

Do we honestly need Active and Inactive discussion boards to be seperated?
