Title: My Little Pwnies
Post by: Meganerdbomb on October 25, 2011, 02:04:38 PM
That's right you ignorant jackwagons! I wanna host a tournament! IT'S GONNA BE THE MOST SUPER-DUPER EXTRA SPECIAL TOTALLY AWESOME FUN PARTY TIME EVER!

For starters, Yes I can AI, but I'll only do standard AIs like OmniRam, Spinner, ect. If you want something fancy, do that crap yourself!
And it goes without saying, no cheaty AIs.

Yes, I can record. I have FRAPS. I figured this would be a given, but apparently some folks around here are really dumb.


I will NOT be entering. I wouldn't want to win my own tournament. ;)

#1 - Weight class: Heavyweights
#2 - Game type Stock, Snapper II and emergency wedge allowed, no other AI or cheatbot parts allowed.
#3   - Battle type: Deathmatch, best of 3. double elimination
#4 - No realistic rule
#5 - Arena to be used: Metal Skull!
#6 - No BFE, AAM, or ANY outside game modifications are allowed
#7 - All in-game glitches except Hax mode are allowed.
#8 - All bot types allowed
#9 - No multibots
#10 - 16 entrants
#11 - Tournament will not start until brackets are filled or three months have passed, whichever comes first.
#12 - After three months, the remaining slots will be bye entries.
#13 - Nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted
#14 - No upgrades
#15 - 1 restart for havok per bot for the entire tournament.

Special rules:
1:No razors, iron spikes, or maces. That stuff is too overpowered.
2:No small wedges. Emergency wedge is fine.
3:All bots must be painted with bright pastel colors. Why? 'cause I said so you smurf.\

OK, I foresee Axe head/Ice pick rammers. Bear Claw HSs and possibly some unusual popups. But the arena doesn't help wedges.

Seems we both missed parts of the rules. So no AI weapons, no maces, irons or razors...
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: Meganerdbomb on October 25, 2011, 04:29:13 PM
Only the four most commonly used components are explicitly outlawed. Razors, Irons, Maces, and Small Wedges. I actually forgot bear claws existed. if enough people want and G.K. let's me, I'd allow them, since they're pretty awesome and slightly harder to use effectively than maces and such.
Oh, and I forgot to specify single or double elimination. Way to not catch that G.K.
Just kidding, but I probably should specify. So, double then?
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: G.K. on October 25, 2011, 04:41:03 PM
You did forbid all AI components except the Wedge and Snapper. If you want to allow all AI components, I'll turn a blind eye, just change it quickly. Ensure to clarify the long 140cm square extender.
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: Fracture on October 25, 2011, 04:43:27 PM
All AI parts except SII, Emergency, and Claw aren't allowed then? 'Cause the rest of them really aren't that overused, I wouldn't even say the 140cm extender.

Edit: Blargh ninja'd. Sort of.
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: G.K. on October 25, 2011, 04:44:54 PM
Also specify the elimination type, whatever you want.
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: Meganerdbomb on October 25, 2011, 04:46:05 PM
Naah, I'll keep the parts rules as is, although this will probably guarantee a lack of HS's, but it's double elimination now.
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies

If It wasn't pony based, I would enter. Maybe.

Actually it's bright pastel colour-based. Though I will admit the name is pony-related...are you really not going to enter a tournament because of the name?
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies

As long as it's pastel colours and not Pony-bots, I may actually enter this. Yes, me, a stock tournament. Pft.

Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: NFX on October 25, 2011, 04:54:48 PM
It's got nothing to do with ponies, besides the name. It just excludes the most commonly used components, and introduces a splash of colour to proceedings. Which I am all for, personally. =)

pastel colors are UNMANLY.

You could always paint it pastel black.  :rolleyes:   (NOT gray, pastel black.  There's a difference if you imagine hard enough.)
 
This tournament seems to have quite a high level of interest.  It'll be interesting to see what people do without their favorite weapons.  I haven't heard spike strips mentioned yet--those used to be the weapon of choice for popups back in the day, and could see a revival here.
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: SteveM4 on October 27, 2011, 03:39:15 AM
I just spent ages building a stock flipper that I was sure had a great Spike Strip wedge, so I put it into DSL and versed my Havok bots, it out-wedged them.

But now it won't run in stock because I don't do any backups and the game is confuz.

I feel like I was very silly.

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on October 31, 2011, 02:41:36 AM
^ Except that Bear claws aren't allowed.

Question for MNB: since E-wedges are legal, can SteelYardDog plows be legal too, since they're just re-skinned snowplows?
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: Naryar on October 31, 2011, 02:46:46 AM
I don't see anything on bear claws in the rules...

Edit: OH WAIT AI PARTS ARE NOT ALLOWED. My bad.

Since the rules cannot change at this point, technically no, unless G.K. doesn't care. You could always send a custom snowplow skin along with your entry.

And yep, as awesome as bear claws are, I didn't want everyone to just fall back on them, so I kept them illegal. Ice picks and axe heads are popular choices so far, but not the only ones.
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on October 31, 2011, 04:32:08 AM
OR I could exploit a loophole the rules and say that the SYD plow isn't really an AI part, but just a re-named and re-skinned snowplow. Since you can allow a "custom snowplow skin," and the SYD plow is only really a skin, it should therefore technically be legal.

I really don't want to have to redo my bot just to change the snowplows to other functionally identical snowplows :/
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies

I would agree with SM if SYD plows weren't ABSOLUTELY FUNCTIONALLY IDENTICAL to regular plows. We're not talking about replacing hammer heads with boxing gloves, or spike strips with samurai swords, we're talking about the exact same component with a different skin. So no, he doesn't have any point. At all.

And the SYD plows fit with the motif of the bot much better :3
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies

Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: Naryar on October 31, 2011, 03:23:38 PM
I agree with R0B0 and I stand by his point. SM is just mad or being annoying or something.

Law must bow (BBOOOWWWW !!!1) to logic, after all.
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on October 31, 2011, 04:10:43 PM
SM is just mad or being annoying or something.

He's just gaming the system. No big deal.
 
Oh, and GK, you hold the power here. If you agree with me, it is well within your right to modify the rules so that they more accurately reflect the spirit of the law, not this logicless, irrational "we will obey ONLY the letter of the law" notion. By the reaction of this thread, we seem to have reached a majority consensus that the view I share with many of you is perfectly acceptable anyways. I don't see any reason as to why SYD plows should continue to be banned, as their use is still well within what the rules intend.

I just want clear rules that people follow.
If you want to introduce a "anything goes so long as you want to argue about it" rule, I'm fine with it.

In other news, I might be getting somewhere with a bot.
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: NFX on October 31, 2011, 04:24:31 PM
I actually agree with S_M here. AI Components, exclusing the SnapperII and Emergency wedge, have been expressly prohibited in the rules, which GK has locked into place, so the SYD Plow is therefore an illegal component. If we're going to follow the rules, then we're going to follow the rules. Not sidestep around them for the sake of convenience. That's just how I see it.

[By the reaction of this thread, we seem to have reached a majority consensus that the view I share with many of you is perfectly acceptable anyways.
Majority? Where?

Well, apart from you and I, four others have adressed this argument. Let's take a look at their responses:
 
Just send it I guess. I doubt anyone will care.
I agree with R0B0 and I stand by his point.
I agree with you too, R0B0
R0B0, I agree with you

By my count, that's not just a majority, that's everybody but you.
 
You say that you just want people to follow the rules. That's fine. I want people to follow the rules too. However, I'm pointing out that the rules are flawed and I'm suggesting that they're ammended to fix this flaw. Barring any ammendments, especially in the case of accidental oversights like this, is just irrational. If we never ammended anything, laws now would be the same as they were in Dark Age Europe.
 
I'm not asking MNB to allow samurai swords of bear claws or ninja stars, I'm only asking him to allow a different colour of snowplow. It's well within the spirit and intention of the rules, so there is no good reason to disallow it.
Title: Re: My Little Pwnies
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on October 31, 2011, 04:41:30 PM


Welp, sorry sharky, I guess you gotta rebuild it.
R0B0, I agree with you, but SM is right.
I agree with you too, R0B0, but SM is technically right...

I don't usually throw my weight in around here, but in this case I must stand up for the rules that are set in place.
I actually agree with S_M here. AI Components, exclusing the SnapperII and Emergency wedge, have been expressly prohibited in the rules, which GK has locked into place, so the SYD Plow is therefore an illegal component.

Not sure where you got your facts from...

Of course you're "right." The rules that are outlined make the SYD plow seem to be illegal, although its illegality makes no sense. This is why I brought the issue up in the first place. However, you being "technically right" has absolutely no bearing on this argument. You being "technically right" is a precondition for this problem to arise. Therefore, when people say that "you're right," it's meaningless since it's not addressing the issue here. The problem is that there is a glaring oversight in the rules that should be ammended. You believe that the rules should absolutely be set in stone and unable to be changed under any circumstances. I'm saying that this is dumb.
 
This isn't a sweeping change, it's a minor ammendment. Hell, MNB, the guy who wrote and formulated the rules, has already demonstrated that he'd be willing to stand by this change. There is absolutely no good reason why the SYD plow should remain illegal. If you can't show me a convincing argument as to how allowing this change will violate the intention of the rules, then any arguments against this amount to little more than "no because I said so."

By the way, I have my entry completed, skinned and AI'ed. This silliness is the only thing keeping me from sending it in to MNB.

So, yeah, screw that stupid 3 month rule (I was actually unaware of that timeline and assumed the 1 year rule applied), you guys know I'm good for it, and Joe Blo's gone now anyway.

EMERGENCY could actually win some fights if it outwedged the opponent and got them in the death pit... unlikely, sure, but it's possible.  You should probably rule that the human bot advances to the next round regardless of whether it actually beats EMERGENCY.  Or just don't use a byebot.

Good point. I'll probably just not use a byebot, or maybe I'll use Eye Poker. If your bot loses to that, it does not deserve to be in the tournament at all.
And yes, Naryface, if you can stand to build a bot without razors, I'll let you in. I'd much rather have a full roster.
I just got my laptop back today, good as new, and ready to record some matches! I'll release a splash or something first, and see if this can still get moved to SBV.

Fine then, I will start posting Videos (and brackets) by May 17th: Cross my heart and hope to fly. Stick a cupcake in my eye.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to ask you to get this moving along. Deadline was four and a half months ago, so you're gonna have to start posting videos, or I'll have to close it, which I don't really want to do. But those are the rules.

This is true, and yes, Jamin you ARE ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATE FOR SIGNUPS. Honestly, I kinda lost interest in RA2 again, and AI'ng is a pain that I've been putting off, but I will solemnly swear on my dead grandmothers grave that I will at the very least have a complete splash up by August 1st, and start videos within a week of that time. After I start videos, things should go quickly-ish. And if you're using any wonky smartzones, just let me know, because I only have the stock ones.

Heh, I forgot we had a mod for this section again. Go ahead and do that. I probably won't try to run any tournaments after this, but I would like to go ahead and do this one, since it seems some people actually do care about it.

yeah, here's the rules for this:
Quote
#1 - Weight class: Heavyweights
#2 - Game type Stock, Snapper II and emergency wedge allowed, no other AI or cheatbot parts allowed.
#3   - Battle type: Deathmatch, best of 3. double elimination
#4 - No realistic rule
#5 - Arena to be used: Metal Skull!
#6 - No BFE, AAM, or ANY outside game modifications are allowed
#7 - All in-game glitches except Hax mode are allowed.
#8 - All bot types allowed
#9 - No multibots
#10 - 16 entrants
#11 - Tournament will not start until brackets are filled or three months have passed, whichever comes first.
#12 - After three months, the remaining slots will be bye entries.
#13 - Nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted
#14 - No upgrades
#15 - 1 restart for havok per bot for the entire tournament.

Special rules:
1:No razors, iron spikes, or maces. That stuff is too overpowered.
2:No small wedges. Emergency wedge is fine.
3:All bots must be painted with bright pastel colors. Why? 'cause I said so you smurf.\
With this, 40757's entry is illegible for this tourney.

GRW has entered lots of decent bots.  Trollestia 2 in Ironbot comes to mind.
 
Also, what in the name of all that is holy was S32 smoking when he built that mess bot?  I can see it's meant to cause Havok explosions... but that's no way to win.

You can start the SBV thread yourself, that's normally how it works. If you've just got a splash at the moment, that's enough to warrant moving it forward. But do try and get some videos up soon.

That's because the weapons available favours hammers and rammers because of the single-directional nature of their attacks and width making them better suited to using the best of the available weapons. HS that are severely weakened compared to their normal counterparts due to the weapons they use and their size don't really stand much of a chance, especially with the strong chances of being pinned.
