Pot Luck 2 has been completed. (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=18491.0) Time for awards!



The categories are:

Bot That Really Should Have Done Better But Didn't Due To Bad Luck (BTRSHDBBDDTBL): The bot that just got plain unlucky in the tournament, and really should have done better than it did.
Coolest Robot: Which robot is too cool for school?
Deadliest Robot: Which robot strikes fear into the hearts of its enemies with a mere stare?
Most Surprising Robot: Who was the most surprising in the tournament?
Favourite moment: Your favourite moment in the tournament, be it in a match or somewhere else.

Code: [Select]
[b]Bot That Really Should Have Done Better But Didn't Due To Bad Luck (BTRSHDBBDDTBL):[/b]
[b]Coolest Robot:[/b]
[b]Deadliest Robot:[/b]
[b]Most Surprising Robot:[/b]
[b]Favourite moment:[/b]

Results:
Bot That Really Should Have Done Better But Didn't Due To Bad Luck (BTRSHDBBDDTBL): Blacksmith (Chris Eats Dongley Knogs can 2nd. Never forget.)
Coolest Robot: Dremmel (Deadly Swan came 2nd)
Deadliest Robot: The Face of Meth (Baddragon.com and Clash Century came joint 2nd)
Most Surprising Robot: Enter Bot Name (Pothead the Porcupine came 2nd)
Favourite moment: Lazy Chicken Losing Its Head (Blacksmith hanging on for dead life came 2nd)

Also I will do bonus matches tommorow, as there were some matchups that didn't happen in the main tournament. I will be filming The Face of Meth vs Clash Century, Enter Bot Name vs NSA CAVITY SEARCH and Lopez vs Pothead The Porcupine in an effort to kill the full body drum. Let me know if you have any other requests!

Coolest Robot: Dremel
Deadliest Robot: Baddragon.com
Most Surprising Robot: Enter Bot Name
Favourite moment: Me winning something.  Period.  (I'm guessing voting yourself does count here.  Right?)

Also, I'm not sure how to feel about you wanting to kill my bot to be honest.

Unless you're fed up from bonus matches after Kurt's matches, could you do either Pothead vs NSA Cavity Search or The Face of Meth.

theres no way NSA could hit that thing, its too shallow

Post by: Conraaa on December 20, 2015, 12:54:44 PM
Might put NSA CAVITY SEARCH and The Face of Meth on the same team to give them a chance for that one.

It was ridiculous.

I feel I may have been hating on Pothead, destroyer of souls a bit too prematurely. It's the best grinding wheel ever!

And thanks for the compliment on the tournament, Reier. I do try. I'm going to try another tournament in February which should be just as fun.

I think my beef is more with the robot type itself, rather than the build. The robot type pretty much relies on other people hitting it, basically.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm going to see a football match today.

Hemel Hempstead Town vs Wealdstone FC

I may finally be able to see the Wealdstone Raider in person!

Post by: Conraaa on December 26, 2015, 01:39:13 PM
Good News: Won £60
Bad News: The match was segregated, so all the Wealdstone fans were cordoned off like the animals they are. I didn't see The Wealdstone Raider as a result.
You know it's bad when they themselves were chanting:
"No one likes us
No one likes us
We don't care
We are Wealdstone"
