But (hopefully) there won't be enough willing members left for 16 episodes of guest-judging.

Thanks. That's what I can do with 8 seasons of Hell's-Kitchen-watching, Paint, pictures.com, and a spare 5 minutes. :)

Elimination tourneys just won't work. You'll run out of ideas... fast! And for the time and proper work to be put into one is butt kicking. But I could be wrong. My tourney was too specific, yours JUST MIGHT work.

Tourney of Awesomeness was a good idea.  I would have entered it if it ever got into signups.


This, on the other hand... I'm afraid you're biting off more than you can chew.  (Pun not intended.)


As others pointed out, the tourney would take forever to complete, and because it also requires competitors to build new bots each round, you run the risk of people losing interest and procrastinating and holding up the whole tourney, like what happened with Brawl of the Builders.

Well, you're probably right, Click. But I like the idea and everything I've come up with so far, and I'm gonna make this work.

You will make bots from NAR AI, but none of those cheaty NAR parts. :P

No offence is meant by this but there is a spell checker right there. It comes in handy for me:P

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.
This would take too long, plus it's longer then 90 days that you are allowed.

More like correct grammar :P

I'll have to punch Scorpion in the face for either not paying enough attention to the arena's skin or just not commenting on it :rolleyes:
