Hell's Arena- Signups

[freeziez]

RULES FOR THE FIRST EPISODE

- NAR AI HW (no cheaty NAR parts, just the re-skins)
- Multibots ARE allowed
- Multibots have to be in the same weight class, in total,can weigh no more than 400.0 kgs.
- No cheat or custom components
- No BFE or AAM
- Stacking is allowed, but no other glitches
- Hell's Arena (see below)
- 16 entrants (I WILL NOT accept less than this. Sorry,  but the tourney will screw up if I do.)
- Bots can Havok as much as they want. It's more fun that way.
- 3 minute matches
- 1 vs 1
- Nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted
- Realistic Rule applies loosely
- I would prefer for you to AI, but I can AI myself.
- Skinning your bot outside the bot lab is OK.
- No castor armor (it's DSL, ok?)
- No NARmour

For the first round, I will have each set of bots fight each other (1st to sign up vs. 16th to sign up, 2nd to sign up vs. 15th to sign up, etc.). The winners will be on the Red Team for the season, the losers will be on the Blue Team.
 
REST-OF-THE-SEASON RULES

It will be kind of like Hell's Kitchen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_%28U.S.%29), only with RA2. THERE WILL BE ONLY 16 ENTRANTS! The team will cooperatively build a bot. Each builder will be assigned to a specific part (chassis, armour, drive motors, wheels, motors, weapons, extras, paintjob). Every week, the bot type (hammer, popup, rammer, etc.), and mod (Stock, DSL, Backlash) will be different.

ELIMINATION

The two bots from both teams will face off in an AI-ed battle to determine that week's winning and losing teams. Each "week" (about 3 days), I will assign who I thought was the best of the losing team the Best Of The Worst. They will have to come up with 2 nominees, their fellow team members who they thought performed the worst, up to me. I will then eliminate the one nominee that I thought was the worst.

(I will not sign up, because I will be hosting.)

[G.K.]

What Nar AI version do you have?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Realism rules + stacking?

[JoeBlo]

I guess Stacking internals is excepted..

IIRC he stacked Batts in his CCIV entry before I rejected it..

[freeziez]

What Nar AI version do you have?

v2.4

Realism rules + stacking?

Just internals, nothing more.

[090901]

Lol, stacking is so easy in DSL, all you need a little chassis and you can stack a ton of stuff in it.

[Badnik96]

I'll enter! Lemme dig up some old HW...

[freeziez]

Ben's entry is accepted. (Great job finding a loophole. :D)

[fligher]

ok freez i sent you someting.

[SteveM4]

An open arena eh?

Might enter a weaponed flipper.

Or something else?


Whatever way, I will enter and send the bot to you ASAP.

[Badnik96]

senttttt

[freeziez]

Fligher asked me to withdraw him because this game is getting boring. 

Badnik, your entry is approved.


I could use some moar entries BTW.

[090901]

I would enter, but I don't feel like building new bots over and over again.

[freeziez]

I would enter, but I don't feel like building new bots over and over again.

Then send me one of your already-made bots. With maces, of course. :)

[090901]

I have like no bots, I lost everything of mine plus I don't have backlash and I don't want to slow down my computer even more by downlloading it.

Silly little 090901, this isn't Backlash. Backlash hasn't even been released.
