Hell's Arena

[freeziez]

RULES:

- NAR AI HW (no cheaty NAR parts, just the re-skins)
- Multibots ARE allowed
- No cheat or custom components
- No BFE or AAM
- Stacking is allowed
- Hell's Arena (see below)
- 16 entrants
- 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

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! I will use The Hat to decide which team each contestant will be on, and each week, they will face a challenge with a randomly selected type of bot that they will have to build, and face off against an AI bot from a random AI pack of the same type. Each builder will compete against an AI bot of the same type, and the team with the most match-wins will win that week.

Each week, my decision will be to eliminate the person that I think "performed" (built their bot) the worst
from the 2 nominees that the losing team's Best of the Worst builder chooses.

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

Teams? You copied me :P

[Scorpion]

Perhaps it would be better if it was a few people who decided which bot was best?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Did you even read the rules for hosting?

[freeziez]

Did you even read the rules for hosting?

No. Sorry, I was away.

Teams? You copied me :P

No, 2 teams of 8 each.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

DO NOT INCLUDE OR ASK FOR SIGN-UPS IN DISCUSSION, that must be done in Signups section.

This really isn't going to work. People will complain when you eliminate them, as you can't prove that this was fair.

Also, this sounds like it will take AGES to complete:

16 Entrants = 15 Rounds = 15 Weeks + Time Inbetween to film & post videos

I predict this will take easily 20 weeks in brackets & vids

Teams? You copied me :P

No, 2 teams of 8 each.

Still copying :P

Well, I'm back! w00t.

But just till January 3rd.

You REALLY think you'll have enough time to host this between now & then?

I'm sure teams have been done before...

Yeah, so am I...

Owait, RA2TC!

J/K SM, but my concept was quite different to yours, his is too similar to mine, FAR too similar

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Not really, the concept of teams were used in many ways.
1. Tag Team: Bots are built together, to fight together. (e.g. Tag Team Tornado)
2. Team Building: Bot/bots are built by multiple members. (Chinese Whispers)
3. Mixed team battle: Many events done by team members. (RA2TC)
4. This idea: Two teams who's members are chosen at random to compete (No choice in the matter).

God, I only left for 10 minutes!

But by then, my RA2 and GTM ban should be lifted, so I'll be back on for good.

And Vertigo, why you gotta be so adopted? Let me be.

If I am not mistaken, he is copying Chinese Whispers SM...

1. Bot type is selected
2. Team build bot TOGETHER
3. Battle
4. The losing team decides who contributed the least
5. Freeziez decides who is eliminated

Anyway, what happened to ToA?

@Freeziez: I have no problem with you, I just don't know how this will work

[Resetti's Replicas]

You donkey!  That robot's undercooked!

1. No. I choose the contestant that contributed the most from the losing team, and name them Best of the Worst. After each member tries to convince the BoW why they should stay, the BoW tells me the 2 people they thought contributed the least and nominate them. I choose which one I thought performed the worst, and send them home.

2. Scrapped it. I realized that it was too generic of a tourney.

3. OK. Sorry.

[Horror]

I Lol'd at SKBT. Anyway, this could be interesting...

...To watch. :P

[GroudonRobotWars]

Might join.

There should be like a special guest or something that helps with the voting each week
