C'mon Jack, you know me better than that. I may have some setbacks, but I don't give up. First video is up.

I couldn't resist. Just watched the old trilogy two days ago and I was in the mood to pick on you with some pics.

So imma fighting ogre ? REVENGE WILL BE MIIINE.

Anyways, seeing as how much I outweapon him, this fight should be easy.

PREDICTIONS TIME

Click > DSC : As expected and as happened.

Craaig > Kurt Wylde : Obviously. I don't even feel like being sarcastic and putting NO WAI !!! or something.

Naryar > Ogre : I outweapon him by far, and since this is hovercrafts it's pretty much all what matters along with weapon speed and torque. Unless you have a hammer against a HS.

Conraa > Yoda : This is quite difficult to gauge because while Conraa has moar weapon HP and weight, one spinner will just not be into the battle at all. I still think Conraa will outweapon Yoda and WBP 'cause he has more concussion weapons and maybe weapon HP in it's two spinners.

Second round -

Click > SM : While the outweapon match might be difficult to give to one or another, I do believe Click can win because he spins down, and therefore he can attack and damage the disc.

Nicsan > Craaig : Both weapons are equally as damaging, and 3c0p (it's piercing and concussion values) hammer VS 3c0p hammer usually results in similar damage for the two sides. But Nicsan just has more hammers, and more weapon weight.

Naryar > SKBT : SKBT's design would have worked against a flat design, my weapon however is not flat. I'll just outweapon him (or rip off one servo, resulting in one weird havok) and then spend my time trapped, pushing aimlessly on the near-invincible plow array and winning moar points, unless a WBP. Boring fight.

Conraa > Jack : Conraa just largely outweapons Jack's design. Not only these sledges has normals, and thou shall be punished for that jack, but this disc isn't even well protected by the tiny weapons. Also, Jack can't win by top-ripping since Conraa's bot is a flying juggler. Really.

Third round -

Nicsan > Clickbeetle : Yes, I'm serious. Click doesn't have the weapons to outweapon Nic, and I highly doubt Click's design can climb high enough to go on top of nicsan and win easily. If he can, however, well the fight is all Click's.

Naryar > Conraa : Yet another bot that I can outweapon. I think I can outweapon pretty much everyone anyways.

[Street Fighter 2 announcer voice]FINAL ROUND -[/Street Fighter 2 announcer voice]

Naryar > Nicsan : He has 240 kg of hammers. While my 140 kg of razors will probably just all fall easily, my 225 kg of beaters can do the rest. Especially with high fracture. Though somehow I am doubting my victory...

Wow naryar you have me going to the final

! I thought that my bot sucked, well anyway

Nayar, how much would it change your predictions if I told you Where Your Eyes Don't Go was a glorified poker?

Naryar · « **Reply #25 on:** November 10, 2011, 10:18:03 AM »

wat ? It's a UPWARDS POKER ?

What a joke, it's even worse than I thought. You can expect to lose to click.

And yes nicsan, I thought your bot was horrible at first because it's just so simple compared to the others, but it outweapons a large number of bots here.

Well done Click. Disappointed though, should have maybe lost some chassis armour and used meatier hammers. Actually, pretty bummed out about this now.

Looks to me like you would've been fine except the AI was a bit too trigger-happy and allowed 6IT to hit your hammers when you fired early. That didn't happen as much in the second match and look what happened...

Quick update. My computer has officially became a paperweight. Finally gave up the ghost a few days ago after struggling on it's last limbs for 2 weeks. I got a loaner from a friend tonight, however, so this is not the end of ITAT. At least, I hope. This thing is old and slow as crap, (originally came with windows ME, if that gives you an idea) so i'm hoping things will run smoothly enough on it. Will be testing sometime tomorrow after sleep and band practice.

Thank you all so much for your patience.

It's all good man! :D Can't wait to see the rest of the matches.

Sorry to hear about your computer problems. That is no fun. What died on your old compy?

Try not to stress out about it and good luck!

It was an emachines, need I say more? It was always meant to be a temporary replacement anyway, it just became more permanent than I expected.

So, yeah, this datasaurus that i'm using now isn't going to be able to do this. Technically, It'll run RA2 and fraps simultaneously, but it's so laggy that's it's not even worth it. And I don't think I'll be able to get my new one within the time limit. So, it is with regret that I announce the cancellation. I don't want to hold any other new tournaments back from starting.

That being said, I don't feel right about people building bots and not getting the payoff for it, so if i'm allowed, the tournament will be completed in the future in an unofficial capacity, just so you guys haven't completely wasted your time. I still willingly accept my tourney ban and host count reduction, though.

My sincerest apologies.

Really? I filmed all NQRW on a cheap eMachine.

nicsan2009 · « **Reply #32 on:** November 23, 2011, 10:05:52 AM »

I'll take over if you need me to.

Naryar · « **Reply #33 on:** November 23, 2011, 10:24:52 AM »

I sure as

hope that you're gonna host that later, yoda.

I'll come to a consideration of what happens next when I have time on Friday.

NFX · « **Reply #35 on:** July 17, 2012, 04:58:39 AM »

Thread has been unlocked, and I'm allowing this to continue. I don't really feel that a tournament should go down the pan because of technical problems. Had the problems not occurred, this would now be completed. Same as 2L2Q2.

Conraaa · « **Reply #36 on:** July 17, 2012, 05:03:31 AM »

This is starting again? Sweet!
Quick question, Yoda what's the smartzone like on my entry? I can't remember how I placed it all those millennia ago.

yoda9726 · « **Reply #37 on:** July 17, 2012, 05:19:23 AM »

Thank you all for your patience with this. Yes, it's starting again. There is a slight tidbit that I wanna make sure everyone is aware of. I lost two of the bots in the computer transition, Ogre's "Awesome Drumfill" and the byebot, Sussudio. Sussudio, I rebuilt to as close as I could get. If there's a difference at all, it's a slight change to the chassis size, and the paintjob. Awesome Drumfill was rebuilt by Ogre, with me making sure he got it as close to the original as possible. I doubt you guys would've even noticed the difference, but I thought it right and fair to make it known.

smartzones are there. It works the way I assume you meant it, but, since this is just an AI change, if you'd like to fix it, i'll allow it. Make it quick though, I'm gonna be posting vids very soon.

Thanks again for the opportunity to finish this

Could you get a picture form the side aswell? I just want to see if it reaches high enough, otherwise it might make for some really boring matches.
