Mayfly Mayhem
« on: April 15, 2017, 05:07:23 PM »
mayfly mayhem
can't be bothered with an actual logo

Why is this called Mayfly Mayhem? Well:
1: This tournament is single elimination and it only has 8 competitors.

2: I hope to rattle this out in a week or two once I get all bots in and AI'd.

3: All robots must have plastic armor, ram plates and snowplows aren't allowed and caster armor is banned. Everyone dies incredibly quickly.

But wait, it's not just a Complete Carnage copy!

4: Hovercrafts are mandatory.

Mayflies have a life span of 24 hours. This tournament will last a very short time.

Yeah, it's a sh** name. IK.

Basically, i'm just getting to grips with tournament hosting with a short and meme-filled tournament.

As i'm no Stock builder, i'm not entering. I just figured this would be simple for a meme.

General Rules:
0: I withhold the right to do anything with this tournament as I see fit if something has horribly gone wrong. I don't WANT to use this rule but with my host history it's best to have a Plan B.
1: You can't enter till your robot is accepted and received.
2: I'm not entering.
3: In thecase i end up with spaces unfilled (after a period of second entries if necessary), I will attach a hovercraft (and air to use on it) to one of the Stock AI (nothing is more scary than flying EMERGENCY).

Building Rules

1: Stock V1.4.
2: Unrealistic Building Style.
3: Heavyweight
4: All robots must use hovercrafts.
5: No ramplates, snowplows, caster armor.
6: RA2CF (all of it except for attachment point hermaphroditism) is allowed.
5-6a: Don't use component intersection for caster armor.
7: No BFE, AAM, .py wizardry or text file editing allowed.
8: All AI parts allowed.
9: Jokebots are actively encouraged. Just make sure they can actually be AI'd.

Match rules:

Fights will be 1 minute.
The bracket will be single elimination.
The fights will be Best of 1.
Battles will be done in the Small Arena. Hazards Off.

I've almost certainly missed something out here, so let me know what it is.

tl;dr: i want to do a quick tournament to get back into hosting, it's Stock HW, all robots need to have hovercrafts, and must have plastic armor and no ramplates, plows or caster armor. Everyone dies.

That being said, people don't like the idea of using component intersections. As i've already got the 5 votes needed to run the tournament, I'm going to run a second poll which asks if you want component intersections on or off, and if you will take part in the tournament. I'm not sure if this second poll invalidates the first so i'm going to include the 'I will/will not enter' poll.

The poll is all sorts of wrong. You give no option to those that want to enter with intersecting components and 'Yes to Both' is a bit stupid when both options are 'I will enter' and 'I won't enter'.

The poll is, "Will you enter this, and do you want RA2CF component intersections?".  "Yes to Both" means, "I will enter and I want RA2CF intersection."

Right. I've enough votes to move onto the signups stage, but because GCSE revision is getting pretty stressful and I should not be procrastinating on it, i'm going to leave this in discussion for a month or two. If the mods could not lock this so I can get this going again quickly when I'm ready that'd be great.
