Author Topic: N00B WARZ 4 - Return of Randomness (Read 15518 times)

It's back.

And it's more random than ever.

(Read the whole thing before posting/questions.)

Y'all probably know what N00b Warz is by now, but I'll tell you again for the new members.
It's a chance to take your old cruddy junk bucket robots and actually use them for something. You take a (legal) bot you made before you joined the forums and send it to me, where it will compete in a tourney made for robots of that level! If you don't have the actual bot, it's fine if you try to make an exact replica. Just no AAM, BFE, hax mode, yadda yadda... all the normal stuff. Also no cheatbot2.
However, I will actually REJECT robots if they are not BAD enough! You actually HAVE to enter in a n00b bot. But please, be easy on me and just send in a total stinker. This tourney is for laughs.

Chances are, if you think "Would Reier accept this? It might be too good.", your fears have ground, so send in a terrible, terrible robot.

Some things to aim for when sending in a bot:
Lots of empty space
Lots of batteries (yeehawww)
Lots of fail
Low weapon count and/or horrible weapon types

BOT TYPES/ARENA/Match types ------------------------

Bot type is HW stock. All you dudes who entered in NW2 CAN reenter the robot you sent in, but it might be lulzier if you chose a new one. Either way, no biggie.

This is where it gets interesting. To make this thing a joke fest, the arena will be
RANDOMLY CHOSEN EACH MATCH.
Yes. That's how epic it is.
So technically, you could get a Normal, TT or KOTH arena. Normal arenas are always Rumbles (except the final match), not Teams or anything.
Just all the lulzier.

Matches are like NW3, Rumbles all the way until the final match which is a 1v1. No losers bracket as always.

HOW TO REGISTER ------------------------

Send in an old stock HW robot, no Cheatbot2 and the usual. It needs to be bad. Preferably, if you can find a robot that you made before you joined, go with that. If not, make a replica as close as you can. Please no just making new pseudonoob robots (i.e. a bad robot you just made).
Unlike NW 1-2, I cannot just put your name on the list. You have to send me a robot with your registration (in PM, but post your participation in this topic too if you want), and I still might reject it if it's not nooby enough. If this happens, no biggie, just send in a worse robot.
Please AI your bot if you can do so. If you cannot, I can do basic AI so don't expect anything fancy. However it would help me out if you could do it.

Deadline is February 20 - but PLEASE get your robot in sooner than that! I'll start this thing ASAP as I get all entries so that's incentive to get yours in quick! Also previous N00b Warzes have filled up in like 3 days, so just a warning.

Oh, and to make it more random I'm gonna give each robot a dopey nickname.

:O

Am in.

Reier · « **Reply #2 on:** January 04, 2012, 06:46:31 PM »

Yeah bro!

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #3 on:** January 04, 2012, 06:51:51 PM »

All right, finally! I've been looking forward to this 8D

Naryar · « **Reply #4 on:** January 04, 2012, 06:53:33 PM »

I'm going to use this : https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,692.msg69352.html#msg69352

Though IIRC it had less weapons and no ballasts when i built it. So i'm going to build it again anyways.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #5 on:** January 04, 2012, 06:58:14 PM »

Yes yes yes imma enter.

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #6 on:** January 04, 2012, 07:06:15 PM »

I got a bot that would be useful into entering, it may not be from before I joined, but it is terrible.

Thyrus · « **Reply #7 on:** January 04, 2012, 07:14:38 PM »

I`ll enter with Der Maulwurf again! NW2 was my first ever tourney and I lost to Sonny cause the arena hammer destroyed me. I was on top by points!

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #8 on:** January 04, 2012, 07:16:20 PM »

I'm too tipsy to read all the rules... but I know that I am in. :P

I imagine Pyramid Scheme would be slightly too good. I'll take out a few DDT's and give it Redbird drive, that should sufficiently crappify it. =D

COOLRUNNER87 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2012, 07:45:14 PM »

Already sent in. I just hope that Killer's crappy enough to pass the test.

nicsan2009 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2012, 07:45:33 PM »

I'm in

Badnik96 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 04, 2012, 07:47:58 PM »

*GASP*

oh heckz yeah. I will replicate one of my nooby things.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2012, 07:53:30 PM »

I do hope SUPER SMASH BRO is bad enough

Badnik96 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2012, 08:05:34 PM »

027 says he'll toss something in this too.

Fracture · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2012, 08:10:30 PM »

I have tons of old bots saved...but I mostly saved my best bots (at the time) so I hope there's one that's bad enough.

Sounds like it'll be awesome. Hazards had better be turned on.

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2012, 08:14:07 PM »

I'm in if we're doing this. First tournament that's piqued my interest in a long time.

Can we do non-stock types of AI's? My bot has two weapons and would ideally be OmniMultiZone, but I'm cool if that's not allowed, one of the weapons is next to useless anyway.

o: yaaay! :D

Quick question, Rei...

Please no just making new pseudonoob robots (i.e. a bad robot you just made).

How exactly could you tell the difference between a pseudonoon-bot and a legit noob-bot?

MassimoV · « **Reply #19 on:** January 04, 2012, 09:30:48 PM »

If there's anyone crappy at stock, it's me. I'll send a real piece of garbage.
