This tourney idea is closed, for now. It may go through a few revisions.
Good Guys vs Bad Guys
- DSL HW
- No Cheatbot2 Items
- No BFE/AAM
- I can AI if you really need me to.
- Standard 16 bot Double Elimination Bracket. Matches are best out of 3.
- For now, the arena is Keznorg IGC. Unless I come up with a better idea.
- Wherever possible, matches will be arranged Good vs Bad
- Skinned components not only allowed, but encouraged. See below.
- 1 havok restart per bot per match. Another havok after that and the bot is Disqualified.
- *New!* Multibots allowed. But they must be two different characters which are linked in some way. So Batman & Robin for example.
This is a first for me. A tournament that doesn't need shuffling of teams every round or bot types!
For this one, there shall be 2 teams, The Good Guys and The Bad Guys. Both with 8 bots each. In the first round the matches shall be arranged Good vs Bad, then wherever possible all the other matches shall be arranged like that. I shall not be publicly saying who is on which team beforehand however. And I request that you would do the same.
Every bot, however, must be themed around either a "Good" or "Bad" character from Tv, Film, Books, Video games, History, wherever. The more obscure the better, as long as you can prove they are "Good" or "Bad" if needed. Hopefully this will give some combinations like Galactus vs C3-PO or something.
Examples of Good Guys: Pinkie Pie, Jesus, James Bond, Mario.
Examples of Bad Guys: Dr Evil, Bowser, Iago from Othecko.
As I am hoping for this tournament to be more "Form over function", I am also offering to skin components for people who are unable to do it themselves. To help make the bots more pretty.
Oh and no massively overpowered weapons types which have no bearing on the character it's supposed to be resembling. Basically no trying to enter a FSS under the guise of Wonder Woman or a popup dressed as Link.
SKINNING RULES:
- If you can skin the components yourself and make/arrange all the needed txt files and components, then you can have as many skinned parts as you like.
- The components needed must be found in standard DSL.
- If you can't skin yourself then I will skin up to 3 components for you. If you send me a skin for a component but no other files needed for it to work, that'll count towards one of your three. The skin either needs to be a plain colour or a simple texture or image. No requesting handmade, bespoke pieces of art on a snowplow.
- When I have skinned/made your components, I will send them back to you, you then put them into your game, place them onto your bot and then send the bot back to me.
Comments? I think I covered everything.

I might enter this. I just need a good idea.

My initial guess for your character- Napoleon.

Indeed, infact I was working on a bot that could fit this theme quite well....

Your feeble attempt at trolling and copying NFX's joke is pointless.
Also, why him ? There are many other interesting morally ambiguous people.

I'll be happy to take bowser.

Feeble trolling yes, copying NFX's joke no- hadn't known he'd made one like that.
Oh, and so that I could make a Wellington-themed robot :cool:
-
The TF2 Spy's evil, am I right?
-
Well, he's evil in the sense he's a cold blooded mercenary...
I wouldn't call him a "Bad Guy" though.

If you can't write your own material, don't come nicking mine. =]
I'll also sign up as a "Good Guy", I quite like this idea.

Why DSL HW? There are too many of them now. :(
-
*Enters Balrog as a multibot*
-
For the sole reason that I think making good looking bots would be a bit hard at anything lower.
Oh and Badnik just made me think of a new rule! See first post.
-
That's what I was planning, Balrog and some sort of flamer called Misery.
-
I may enter Diend as a multibot.
-
needs to be 2 different bots though.
-
Oh! Thats the one thing I forgot!
That TRIAS is also proposing a DSL HW Themed Tourney.
I'm thinking of delaying this one until after TRIAS' tourney has finished so there aren't two running at once.

Don't worry man! We'll both get some good entries.
Probably building for this. Maybe enter a bad guy in the Space Invader.

Not entering, then.
-
I'll be Dr. Horrible.

Or maybe Orko off He man.

Rule: Oh and no massively overpowered weapons types which have no bearing on the character it's supposed to be resembling. Basically no trying to enter a FSS under the guise of Wonder Woman or a popup dressed as Link.
I presume you make the judgement? Are you prepared for the bawwwing and fingerpointing from members when the splash is posted? Not trying to be a pain in the ass, but the backlash of "grey area" rules like that can result in controversy. However, I have no idea how to make the rule refined and more direct. I love the concept for this tourney and will be rattling around ideas in my head for it. :D
-
Hmmm...the new multibot rule gives me an idea, but the problem is, one of the is a 'good guy' and the other could be considered a 'good guy' or a 'bad guy'....
Heck with it, I'm just gonna go ahead and say I plan on entering the Brother's Majere, Raistlin and Caramon as a multibot and let you figure out the abiguity

I call Black Snooty!

I know that it's going to result in a bit of controversy and that there is grey area in it. But it's just there to keep out the extreme examples where people are entering RPP klones with the face of Mother Teresa on just to get cheap wins. I hope people get the hint with me mentioning "Form over Function" and me offering to skin components.
Oh and with Multibots, if one of them is based around a "Good" guy and the other could be considered a "Good" guy from the right angle then I would probably accept it. However if it's one Good guy and one Bad guy then I would have to reject it, so no James Bond/Blofeld combos
Oh and Avalanche I swear I sent you that AI.

What about a Zerg Lurker or Sagat as True Popup? TIGER UPPERCUT!!!!
And Zangief can be an SnS. That feminine dude in Bleach with the flower petal sword can be an FSS (not only does he flail razor spam, he is just as gay as the bot type).
Just saying, can probably find one that resembles the type if you try hard enough.

I thought he will make a popup with Narmour and call it M.Bison. So it can Psycho Crusher your bot to death.
-
inb4 generic bison video.
You could theoretically get away with a hovering poker for bison, because of his head stompy move thing..
But yes, I am interested...maybe a team rocket multibot. :P
-
I could enter Derpy as a dreidel (I could do a crawler, but a dreidel would be less of a hassle). :P
-
I'll be having to think up something for this. But I sure as heck will make it based on Touhou!
-
a popup dressed as Link.

As long as you have valid reasoning for the choice of bot type then I'm fine with it. Having said that,however, I am almost tempted to ban certain bot types like FSS and SNS just to stop confusion and such further down the line.

DP/Bump: I may have to retract my offer of skinning parts. And without that I feel this one may be a bit lackluster if people don't skin them themselves.
-
TP: Looking back on this one, I feel that there are some subjective rules which, quite frankly, I don't want to have problems with further down the line.
So I am declaring this tourney idea closed for now. But don't worry, I have another idea up my sleeve.
