Title: Just a tournamente
Post by: martymidget on February 14, 2013, 07:17:22 AM
HAI CFAB RULES

1. DSL Standard, no hax mode, no BFE, AAM etc. Trov glitch is allowed, but I'll hate you for it.
2. Weight class is up in the air for now.
3. The only cheatbot2 component allowed is the pillow of doom. No others.
4. There will be a minimum building skill requirement- talking latest NAR AI standard here. I want this to be a tourney where people are on the edge of their seats. Hybrids will be encouraged, but not necessary.
5. Wild bot restrictions appeared- No SnS, Popups (ooooh controversy), or flails (oooooh more controversy, but you could see how laggy cfab was xP)
6. I can AI, but I would greatly prefer it if you did it yourself. As the only bot I'll bother with AIing to perfection is my own, it will probably benefit you too.
7. Any "YOU AI'D IT RONG" type complaints will have their bots ripped to shreds by a UHW and posted on the front page for all to see, as well as being DQ'd. This does not apply if I did actually AI it not to the persons specification. If it doesn't work as you thought it would, and you complain, tough.
8. 1 havok restart per bot. This counts as a game changing event- e.g a bot being inverted for no apparent reason after it tears a part off of another bot.
9. 2 minute matches, so be sure to make as deadly bots as possible.
10. Double Elimination brackets.
11. Arena- I'm thinking RA2T2, or a slightly modded DSL tourney arena with higher walls. Hazards off.
12. 16 spaces, with a wildcard if there is enough interest. I myself will be entering, but I can relegate myself to the wildcard if necessary.


Only bots PM'd to me directly will be considered.
Signups will close at some point in the future.
Updates- 1 can be used between sending and when signups close. However, if the update is drastically different (ie new bot type) from the original, you will be moved down the queue.

You will need to be more specific if you want to see this thing progress beyond discussion.

I might have a go. If it's basic DSL HW it might something nice and simple for me to start with and have a go out. :-)

The poll should say lick toads instead of mushrooms.

Just gauging interest first to see if it's worth my while before getting the specifics done.

I would boot up DSL for MW or LW, I guess. I need to do some RA2 and 1-hour battery stacks are rather tedious.

Not enough interest then, no point. :L

Any chance of more interest from a CFAB 2?

Updated the rule set so it might happen at one point...
