NORMIES VS FREAKS tournament

[Venko]

FIRST : Everyone stay on topic please, and quit the spam.

SECOND :

Yes for standard but not half-crawlers their wheels will make them harder to OOTA by giving them moar grip
 

Most people here only do an empty talk, but I do tests. I made like 10 crazy bots until I found my entry. One of these crazy bots was a half-crawler, and I DID NOT choose it for my entry, this must speak something to you...

Some stuff updated in the rules.

I'm totally ready to start this tournament as soon as possible.

I'm thinking to upload the original movie files (they will be not too big in size) like the ClickB, instead of uploading them in YT.

Also, I will experiment with a new system of how the host will reveal his bots, to see if it's successful. I uploaded a RAR with the pics of my entries, everyone can download it now, so I won't be able to change something in it, and I will give the password in the last moment from the sign ups. Mr. AS also will prevent cheating from me, since I must send first my bots to him for AIing. This way the host can't change his entries, and the meanwhile can keep them secret like the others. Basically, I didn't want to "highly disturb/scare away" any potential entrants with my bots...

Youtube is convenient. Click's directly uploaded matches were always a pain, for me at least. It'll probably end up with someone reuploading them on youtube anyway.

Wait, wait, wait.... This tournament consists of PvP online matches?

...It'll probably end up with someone reuploading them on youtube anyway.

Actually, this will be a favour to me, if someone agree to upload them in YT. However, I didn't decide yet where to upload them.

Wait, wait, wait.... This tournament consists of PvP online matches?

Nope. AI vs AI only. Everyone, read the rules, damn it.

Everyone, read the rules, damn it.

Your latest post implied it, sorry.
Also said rules are still subject to change, as far as this thread goes

Everyone, these are the final rules, so make sure that you will "sponge" every word of them :

FAIL
You totally didn't read them, did you...

[J]

Oh, but you've changed your mind at least once before.
Regardless, are we close to starting this tourney?

[Venko]

The rules are in a final state and I'm 100% ready, don't forget to support me in the voting, and don't forget to enter 

[Mecha]

I'll do both. :)

[Mecha]

I like the cheese one. :)

Instead of a multi posting, I will merge some posts into one here.

I'm expecting (would prefer) your bots and AI info in a PMs.

Some minor stuff updated in the OP, to clear some things, also the entries list updated.

I changed my mind about the prizes :

...
- The winner WILL GET the new texture pack and the reskinned arena, the second place WILL GET ONLY the texture pack. The CHAMPIONS MAY NOT release any of the prizes (or a part of them) to the community under any circumstances, any leaking will lead to punishments;
...
- If I win something, I will share as it follows :
1st           = share the arena;
2nd          = share nothing;
1st & 2nd = share all the prizes.
...

The reasons for this wildcard are :
#1 Lack of interest, lots of serious people said, that they will enter, but still nothing, probably due to #3;
#2 The comunity gave me zero feedback for all my free tools and stuff;
#3 Some people think, that they will get this the easy/lazy way, after the winners share it, but I have a glass of cold water for them. No free lunch for them.

I'm starting to appreciate my work and others work (people that makes bots to enter) better. That's a final decision. No bot, no win, no prize, simple enough stimul?

[Venko]

So the winners can't distribute the prizes, but however, I will give an another chance to the other members to win the texture pack, in an other contests/tournaments. So, don't lose a hope, I will use it as a prize again sometime.

1. Jonzu95, Mazakari, infiniteinertia, ty4er, Meganerdbomb, Badnik96, Craaig, Mystic2000, Naryar, all showed intentions to enter.
2. I don't want a 3 heats only tournament (8 bots so far, so groupA-groupB-final).
3. Maybe Inf will come back from the collage, he was very keen to win that prize, also, some members will be able to post again (some members were warned and can't post).
4. Some members can add their freak entry now.
5. Some members maybe didn't have enough time to build something.
6. My warnings about the no-extension didn't work.
Due to all those reasons ^, I'm opening the sign ups again for an another last week. The signup process will be closed PERMANENTLY after 14 (including) may 2013 ! There will be no extra extensions this time! For real this time!

Some of those textures look like they came directly from RA1.
That, or you drew inspiration from that game.

Either way, I like it.

[Venko]

THE LAST DAY TO ENTER !

OP updated. I gave the password for my entries. The final preview of the texture pack is also there now.
I will close the signups tomorow (my tomorow) permanently.

I don't play RA1, all the original textures came from google pics...

[Venko]

The signups are closed !

Someone move this to "completed tournaments" please. Expect soon the SBV OP.
