Allright, It's time for signups... The rules are:
1. 16 bots allowed, last 4 entrants will go into a wildcard rumble.
2. DSL SuperHeavyweight in the combat zone arena with hazards off
3. No cheatbot or replica parts
4. No custom components
5. All building done in botlab, so no BFE, AAM, or any of that cheaty stuff, skinning is allowed (nearly required)
6. multibots are allowed, both bots must add up to no more that 1200 kg
7. Multibots must both be beaten to count as a win.
8. 'loose' realistic rule will apply. This is standard realism, with slight allowances of breaking realism for looks only.
9. Don't bother with Narmour, it won't work.
10. matches will be 3 minutes, 1 on 1, best 2 out of 3, with a losers bracket
11. Standard Havok restart rules. You get 1 free, Cause a second one and your bot is DQ'd for that round.
12. I can and will AI for those who can't, but AI'ing your own bot is the preferred method. If I AI it and it's not what you wanted, the imperfection is yours. No Whining.
13. custom .py's allowed, not including the cheaty type (healing damage, constant damage, etc. etc.)
14. You must make a decent effort to make your bot look like it was built out of something else.
15. It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as we can get the idea of what it is supposed to be.
16. Beyond that, most bot types allowed, save for trinity flyers, nasty pickles, or bumblers.
17. In this tourney at least, the old adage of "size doesn't matter" happens to be true. Who cares if the can of dew is as big as the lawnmower?
18. The most important rule, this is for fun...
I have two gauranteed spots for the winner and runner up of Survival of the Fittest, 090901 and Ogre. Other than them, it's first come, first served. I am only going to enter if the signups do not get filled in a timely manner.
Let's have some fun!

These are the rules, they cannot change. (Can we make an acronym out of that? ...TATRTCC. No, probably not.)
-
You could do TRAP (These Rules Are Permanent).

The spider is smart!
Oh, I am in. Will send bot later today. :D
-
IT'S A TRAP!
Oh, and just a heads up for any Loophole abusers out there...You cannot enter, say, Hypnodisc by passing it off as a toy of Hypnodisc. Technically, it would obey the letter of the law, but breaks the spirit. Just popped in my head that it could happen.
-
These are the rules, they cannot change.
im real happy for you and imma let you finish..
but you forgot the expiry date in this and the management thread :mrgreen: (3 months from approval)
-
Woops. That's what I get for posting this right after waking up. Signups will end no later than April 26th or when they fill up, whichever comes first. At the point of signup closure, everyone will have 1 week to send any updates (ONCE).
Anything else? :embarr
-
just send. how many updates do we have?
-
Just one, make it count
-
Sign me up, I'll build something soon. IE tonight or this weekend.
-
Sign me up, I'll build something soon. IE tonight or this weekend.
SAME!!
Definately same!
-
Can the update only be a minor change, or can we change our replica completely?
-
Won't be able to send in my bot till Friday, as I'm in the middle of moving and don't want to try to rebuild the snow blower on my laptop.
-
When u post a name in signups, can you post what they built too? I don't want to accidentally make the same thing as someone else.
-
someone remind me to send my bot tonight
-
someone remind me to send my bot tonight
lol, you're gonna regret saying that when you get spammed with PM's later ;P

Lol damn straight.

dammit i still need something to make!!

We gave you a zillion suggestions in the discussion thread. :P

Wooooooooooowww
-
Sent my bot a while ago.
Cake FTW.
-
Sent

Sorry guys, I'm letting the ones who get the bot to me first take priority. And this is fillin up fast...
Can the update only be a minor change, or can we change our replica completely?
Either way you want, but the update will be your official entry. so make sure.
-
remade and sent in to be safe.
-
i'm in
-
someone remind me to send my bot tonight
Spammed Reminded Kill.
-
Allright, All spots taken except for the Wildcarders. So if you want in, make it quick. We've got some awesome designs so far.
-
SENT. I thought there was like 10 spots left! =O
-
i said i signed up when there were spots left, but u didn't sign me up. can you fix that
-
You had to send your bot in.
-
than can i at least be in the wildcard rumble, i'm making a cardboard box
-
You better hurry up and send it!
-
we'll, i'm at school now, so i'll send my bot later today, so can u save me a spot
-
DAMN, this filled up fast.
To be expected, but still, jesus this was fast.
Well, i'll make what i was going to make anyway ;P
-
holy carp this filled up fast
-
Shoot, it doesn't look like i'll make the deadline. Ah well, maybe I'll make something just for fun. What are the expiration dates on Ogre and 090901's reserves?
-
I would say same chances for everyone. the one who sends first gets the spot
-
If the reserved spots pull out, will the people in the Wildcard get bumped into the main bracket?
-
Shoot, it doesn't look like i'll make the deadline. Ah well, maybe I'll make something just for fun. What are the expiration dates on Ogre and 090901's reserves?
well, I should give them the until the original expiration for signups, the 26th. But I think i'll bring that down to a week after all spots are taken in the wildcard. At that point, i'll move everyone up by however many i need to move them up, and add the first extra bot i receive to the wildcard. Sound fair to everyone?
Technically, I've got Ogre's bot already. About 12 of them (he really liked this idea). I just have to wait for him to get over here and choose which one he wants to use for sure. But I should be seeing him either tonight or tomorrow.
-
imma make a blender
-
DP
sent, pwnage wedges but slllllllllooooooooooooooowwwwwww
-
How can you get wedges on a blender?
-
I dunno but I only put them there so it could get under stuff (it's a gutripper, see Click's toilet thing)
-
Ah, that makes sense. Mines has no wedges, because A) My wedges normally suck, and B) It's a spinner, so it wouldn't need them. It's well defended underneath, anyway. =D
-
...and that made me realize I have no bottom protection. Dammit.
-
Don't think you need to worry about bottom protection much in this tourney. Definately not as much as usual, anyway. But, if you are worried about it, you do have one update you can use.
That leaves 2 spots left in the wildcarders and I've got confirmation from 090901 that he's entering.
-
just finished it, i need help uploading it though, can someone help me?
-
in game, export it. Out of game, find your file in your Robot designs folder. Here on the website, the easiest way is use the bot exchange. Theres a place on there for DSL SHW uploads. click it. Then browse for you file and upload. Then just tell me which one it is.
-
Bot Exchange is the simplest method. When in the Bot Lab, select your entry on the team screen, and select "Export Bot". It will appear in your Robot Designs folder in the same directory as the game, and you can upload it to the Bot Exchange from there. Make sure it's in the correct category, and then give the host a link. =]
EDIT: Yoda beat me to it.
-
Just sent a to-be-rebuilt airplane.
-
I'm gonna go ahead and give the last spot to Wolfsbane, providing he gets me a bot tonight. Tomorrow if i haven't received it, it'll be open season for the last spot.
-
it's closed season, since i just uploaded it, it's a cardboard box btw
-
Aww I wanted to enter this but lack of time and failed ideas got the best of me.
Good luck to everyone.
-
A little simplistic, but it does follow the rules. Ladies and Gentlemen we have our wildcarders.
Once I get confirmation from Ogre and a bot from 090901 it'll be a week for updates. Then we'll get this show on the road.
Clarification for updates:
AI change does NOT count as your update.
-
i can't wait!
-
I'm actually feeling reasonably confident about this. =] Good luck to everyone.
-
oh heckz yeah
hopefully my blender does well. It'll probably lose to NFX's "Lampshade" though.
-
I imagined that most things would be quite tall. =] And if they are, I should do quite well.
-
I guess this will be a first round fail for me again. I think Badnik`s not the only one who added some stuff to his bot that makes it a bit mor effective so I just can`t stand a chance.
-
I just focused on making mine look like a piano. It plays music.
-

Sadly QFT.
-
Damn, it's already full. Why did you only allow 17 people, it looked like this tournament had a lot more people interested?
-
cause we have this "new" rule where you have to have hosted 3 16 entry tourneys to host one with more
-
IMO that rule is stupid. You should just have the amount of entries be the amount of people interested. That way with tourneys like this no one's whining about that they were gonna enter but couldn't.
-
Ah I forgot about that rule. Sorry Yoda that one's on me. Anyways, no use crying over split milk, can I be the first to put in a request for Our Replicas are Different 2?
-
Thyrus is going to win :P
-
Thyrus is going to win :P
lol? why that? :D
-
could you show us the matchups so far?
-
Thyrus is going to win :P
lol? why that? :D
Because it has "Ein Framework that will last for a Thousand Years"
That, and in the event of not winning, its original programming activates and it redirects to Poland :trollface
-
"Ein Framework that will last for a Thousand Years"
thats just one german word you replaced there :D
-
"Ein Framework that will last for a Thousand Years"
thats just one german word you replaced there :D
Well, that's so everyone can understand the thick German accent it's meant to be said in :cool:
Also, I wonder if the turning indicators are slanted upwards? :P
-
Thyrus is going to win :P
lol? why that? :D
Because of the name :P
-
lol there are 2 airplanes
-
first round loss for me again :)
-
yoda, please ai somebody's airplane so we can kick off the wildcard!
-
Patience is a virtue.
-
Anyways, no use crying over split milk, can I be the first to put in a request for Our Replicas are Different 2?
Feel free. The sequel will come once I get in the big leagues so we can have more entrants, and will probably be after
Survival 2: Survive Harder.
yoda, please ai somebody's airplane so we can kick off the wildcard!
Not yet. It'll probably be AI'd tonight, but the wildcard won't be done yet. Somebody informed me he plans on using his update, so he'll get the same opportunity as everyone else before it kicks off.
-
Ugh, sick atm.
Plus the computer I'm on has no Ra2

ps i can make prize components

what did you have in mind?

like maybe a card blade for the wildcard winner, and a tv that shows the winning match for the winner, any other ideas?

Would be stupid to give the wildcard winner something IMO
-
Gotta agree with 090901 (get feelin better, btw dude). The prize for a wildcard is entry to the actual brackets.
As far as the ideas, that's pretty much what I wanted. A component that's 'something else' as well. Fits with the whole theme.
Maybe a hammerhead type thing that's actually a mailbox.
That, or something versatile that would make building strange shapes easier. Maybe a dome or a sphere of somekind. This is one of those times I wish I was even decent at 3d modeling, but it never seems to work for me.
As always, i'm open to suggestions.

And you know I'm gonna rebuild my 3 bots from last season... ;)
-
mah bots are done :P
-
I'll definitely try to get myself involved in SOTF 2.
-
Allright, boys and girls. 090901 is entered. That means all bots are received and approved and you have 1 week from today to send in your updates and AI(for those AIing their own). And that point, Everything will be official and I'll have your splash posted.
April 17th is the due date.
-
i'm really good at making splashes, do you want me to make it?
-

I'm pretty sure he can handle it himself.
Great job offering, though.
-
Splash is mostly done already. But thanks
-
Can't wait. This is going to be lulzy and entertaining! My bot is so insanely slow, I can't imagine it pulling off a win.
-
hmmmm what to build.

btw, what's Narmour
-
btw, what's Narmour
Narmour utilises the collision mesh of the skirt hinge (press f 12 with it on a bot and you'll see what i mean) to make a smallish, but invisible and invincible "shield".
-
Although JoeBlo has made a Skirt Hinge with no collision mesh, so Narmour is now pretty much useless. =]
-
First utilized in BBEANS 6 by Naryar. MetalikVyper used it by accident in RAW in 2008 on Morse Code Breaker as a wedge (now known as MCB Wedges). I used it on purpose with my bot Cutinator in GUMBA, and Naryar used it as armor (very controversial) with his bot. (I cannot remember the name).

I would of entered; but my entrant was rather glitchy. And because someone already entered a piano D:

Hope to see you in the sequel when it comes up, then. Speaking of the sequel, had an idea for it and thought I'd go ahead and get some opinions about it now. Next time, it has to come from a fictional source...So things like TIE fighters, the U.S.S. Enterprise, a Dalek, so on so forth.
