King Of Karnage - Jousting Tournament Idea.

[JoeBlo]

JD: thanks for the support, I am hoping to bypass all the seriousness and people can have fun propelling robots at each other at high rates of speed :P

Madiaba: I think I might stick to the current wall height given even low robots are able to trip over it right now

LRA2: so you are wanting to stick with your current entry ?

Sonny_Resetti: its a points system to eliminate ties

Format

• Each match will consist of 3 “Jousts” and the winner will be determined on a points based system
• 3 points if you break your opponents Target off
• 1 point each if no targets are knocked off
• 0 points if your target is knocked off (unless you break your opponents off before yours was broken)
• The player with the most points wins, in the event of a draw after the 3 “Jousts” the total in game points from each match will be added up and the highest total wins.

hope that covers everything :-D

[Naryar]

I sense this is going to be full of win...

I just hope people will be somewhat creative in building.

[JoeBlo]

my entry will be rather strange and Sonny_Resetti's was a design I didn't see coming (or ever thought of lol)

[JoeBlo]

another minor prize up for grabs, 5 jousting targets (1 you already have) they are just skins but put in a styles set up so they are nice and neat, should I make another King Of Karnage they will be usable (no difference to txt files just a different look)



its hard to see from the images but the ghost one is semi transparent

[somestrangeguy]

My entry is as generic as it could be. I just dont know how to think outside the box like Click for example.

[Naryar]

Bah... Horizontal spinning weapon on a DDT? Trinity side hammer ? There are so many possibilities...

[Pwnator]

^^^

NOOOooooooooooooooooo........

Aww man, gotta think harder this time. XD

[Naryar]

You mean FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ?

For me, i am probably going to chain DDTs and try to come with something original and efficient.

Edit: And i agree with Viper's post 11 pages ago - medieval-themed names please.

I'm so simpleminded I didn't think of putting motors on the DDT:angry:. Well think my current weapon setup will do ok I hope:frown:.( I made it so it will be sort of like a wall so I can block other people weapons but still be able to score.) lol I had a Medievil name the first bot I sent, but then I changed it with the 2nd one  I sent because I thought no one else will do it o well:smiley:.

[infiniteinertia]

Cmon, better targets. Something more robotic-ky than medieval. These ARE machines...

EDIT: Can we have a demo video of how the fight works? It will help with bot designing.

Demo vid is on PG 5.

I thought mine was a bit... off.

However, its a bit sucky.

the target skins ? well there was a metal one ? I might add some more to the prize but right now I am working on the 3rd and final minor prize

[JoeBlo]

the final prize a set of 2 weapons



I personally really like these, they do more damage then iron spikes but to excessive, they also have 1.5x the hitpoints.

I like these so much I have decided to offer all four prizes up for grabs, the winner gets a choice of 2 and the runner up, consolation bracket and awards winners gain 1 prize pick

[Naryar]

k lets go naryyyyyyy

Diamond isn't blue, also it's "substance", and it's nearly 2 times lighter as iron.

[somestrangeguy]

What if thats compressed diamonds?

Will these be aviable to use in the CC3? Or other tournaments you host?

[Naryar]

Joe i am sending you 2 of my possible designs for this, because i don't really get how will you put the jousting target and if my designs are legal.

[JoeBlo]

Naryar: I know, I know and I know :-D

they are 50% transparent and I liked the blue skin (besides its only a name, not like anything else is realistic in stock lol)

the spelling, they are old screenshots from another copy of RA2 (when the focus was on the GMF) I havent taken the updated ones pictures as it was in Starcore and I wanted the stock UI in the screenshot

and I just thought something that does about 2 times the damage of an iron, should it really weight half the weight ? I was going for a balance but if you think I should half it then ok, dont forget the small one is double the size of an iron.

also the whole going Nary I think could start to really annoy people really fast :P

SSG: I might make them legal in future tournaments but they wont do much good in CC3 as they are designed for stock RA2

[Viper89]

Cool prizes . I think it's kind of funny that Nary's talking in third person, maybe he's just pumping himself up for the tourney hes prolly going to Pwn majority of us any way:evil:. Lets go naryyyyyyy lol.

[Reier]

Nice - but I have no idea what "stongest" means. :P
