Jaydee Wars Mini Tourney - Signups

[TommyProductionsInc]

Ok, that glitch is awesome but is not allowed.
Tommy will take over now but I still want to have a say in some rules he introduces. I'm still AI'ing and recording though.
And still can introduce some rules.

Correct.
Now, lets get this show on the road:

Low quality replicas aren't allowed.
You can upgrade your entry a maximum of 3 times, thats it.

And a few more...

All participants will recieve a special, yet to be remade, replica...

Any questions, comments, or concerns?

You get better by learning how to build. Not by hosting a tournament that only of and Tommy are going o enter. Also what's going on? Who's recording? Who are we sending the bots to? What is the other person doing? You might as well call it Chaos in the Torpedo 2 at this point.

I'm trying to host a tournament.
Jaydee will be filming and AIing.
I'll be taking and checking entries, managing the brackets and splashes, and will also be in charge of the rules.
Is that a good enough answer?

Okay I understand it now. Personally I wouldn't double up on hosts but it's your decision.

[cephalopod]

If we're going on how points have been awarded in the past, only Jaydee would get a 'Host Point' for this tournament as he's the one AIing and videoing, just to let you know.

It's fine with me. Besides, it was Jaydee's Idea to begin with.

[Mr. AS]

Can I use BFE to make the robot more realistic/just like the real thing.

[TommyProductionsInc]

Can I use BFE to make the robot more realistic/just like the real thing.

BFE may only be used to make the replicas more accurate.

So yes.
EDIT:
Simplified the BFE rule.

OK, thanks. I really want some RW reps instead of BB reps but Beggars can't be choosers.

alright ill get on that

[Jaydee99]

  alright. Please get entering.

[helloface]

No.

[TommyProductionsInc]

No.

Could you at least give a reason?
Also, I've figured out the tournament prize.

[Jaydee99]

Seconding this.
PM me it.

[Philippa]

This whole thing is stupid and will never get any farther than it's current stage.

Andy is right.

[TommyProductionsInc]

This whole thing is stupid

If "this whole thing" includes the flaming and stuff, then I guess so.

and will never get any farther than it's current stage.

Probably true, but-
The rules are fine now, you guys are what's slowing this down.
Now I don't mean by not entering, but by posting uneccessary bulls**t and trolling.

Andy is right.

And why are you pointing this out to begin with?
I was just asking helloface why he wouldn't enter and not just because people think this tourney is dumb.

[Philippa]

Some stuff.

I said nothing about Helloface. But on the topic of Helloface, he probably means he won't enter because he thinks this will be a massive flop, like the rest of us think. That and the fact you can't actually get anyone to send bots because signups haven't opened yet.

[TommyProductionsInc]

Well, what do I improve?
The reason I didn't take anyone's advice is because they were being too vague, only telling me what NOT to do (it helps, but I now need suggestions on what to improve upon), and the occasional flaming.
If this tourney is going to be a big flop, why not try and fix it?
Co-management, controversy around replica tournament try-harding, and a lack of planning, really screwed things up.
(Sorry Jaydee, but you rushed this to begin with.)
So, any ideas?

people dont like making replicas
people enjoy making unique bots
they feel connected to their own bot
i enjoy building replicas but how many people like me are there
5 at most
its not gonna pass there no way to change it
maybe if you let people enter in original irl designs and give replicas a bye to the second round
similar to how famous robots in battlebots got to skip preliminaries
orphans worked because you made your own bot but tied it to another bot
I think you could have people make updated versions of replicas
like you make hazard but make it in a way you think it would do better in battle
while still retaining the feeling of the bot

[090901]

Weight limit rules is pointless, the cheatbot2 list you made is confusing because first you say Allowed parts and they you say All parts are these are allowed, damaging smartzones sound like an awful idea since a bot could just pin another and do a crap-ton of damage, and if if custom compenets are allowed how is this a DSL tourney then?
