Title: Pot Luck
Post by: Conraaa on June 05, 2011, 10:13:31 AM
Pot Luck

DSL HW
Realistic Rule
No BFE/AAM
No Cheatbot2 Parts. Anything found in a clean copy of DSL without using cheatbot2 is fine.
All in game glitches allowed as long as they abide to the realistic rule.
I can AI if you really need me to, but i'd suggest doing it yourself if you can.
Bots get one free Havok restart per match, if they Havok again the robot is disqualified.
3 minute long matches. If robots are still alive at the end of the match I will decide on points
Best out of three
16 robots, standard double bracket.

The fun part for this tourney is that before you build your robot. Everyone chucks a robot type into a virtual hat. (HS/VS/Popup etc). When I have all spaces filled one robot type from the pot will be given out to each person and they will have to build that type of robot. I will also throw a curveball into the mix by assigning an extra type to one person. Multibot. Just to mix things up.

Example; say it were a small 4 robot bracket:

Shuffling of robot types...

I would also try and have backups. Incase someone gets trapped by real life or something.
I am not sure what arena to do this in. If I say combat arena, people will obviously go "Flipper :trollface "
Bbeans arena? Blade arena with hazards off? I'm not sure.

Comments?

What about using the same random selection system that you use for bot types for the arena as well ? Everyone selects an arena, then you choose randomly.

Interesting idea. Maybe if I can't decide on an arena i'll use that.

He'd need to make sure he had the arena available. Or he could provide a list of arenas to choose from.

Or if someone suggests an arena I can't personally find easily. They'd have to find a download link for me before it is added to the pot. There would probably be a list of banned arenas though like seizure arena, infinite arena etc

I know, but I like to think people would think about if they have the time/effort to make the robot before signing up to this as not to waste my time.

I'd also have a backup brigade who would jump in if anybody had to pull out, or if someone didn't get a robot in the backup brigade would have a week or so after the normal deadline to get the backup robot in.

It would work, it will work in the end

It just takes a while and you'll need to do a lot of PM'bombing :P

How much pmbombing do you have to do in Ra2tc vertigo?
You keep the robot types quite open, this is going to narrow the robot types down even further so I suspect that a few people may be put off when they find out the have to make a clamp robot or something.

Oh and RJPK, maybe, depends how well this one goes :P

Should I impose a limit on the amount of time any weapon type can be nominated? Say, 4?
Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: Conraaa on June 13, 2011, 05:00:54 PM
Dp and a bump aswell? I'm a rebel, I know.
I've added a poll regarding the arena. Which method would you prefer for the arena to be chosen?
If I chose the arena, it would probably have oota capacities. Like the blade arena with hazards off.
If people chucked arenas into a pot, obviously there would be restrictions. (No seizure arena, no endless arenas, etc) But it would be pretty open. If I couldn't find the arena easily, however, the person who suggested it would have to find it for me before it goes into the pot.
Well?

I like the 2nd option, the tourney is Pot Luck. :3
Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: Conraaa on June 15, 2011, 12:04:40 PM
Unless anybody has any startling objections. I'm going to go ahead and green tick this. That poll looks somewhat definitive anyway.

Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on June 15, 2011, 12:10:15 PM
One question? How specific can bot types be? Can we do "Bar HS" or "Concussion Rammer"?
Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: Conraaa on June 15, 2011, 01:12:53 PM
Good question, I probably should have outlined that a while ago.
You can only go as specific as Vs or Rammer. No trying to choose Concussion Rammers or Flail SS. And no choosing hybrids, either so you can't go "Crawler/Clamp hybrid :trollface"
Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on June 15, 2011, 01:15:04 PM
How about "Flying Guillotine", "TRFBD" or "Axle-Flipper"?
Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: Conraaa on June 15, 2011, 01:27:19 PM
1) I'm presuming you mean something like this? (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,2411.msg361492.html#msg361492) I'd say it's acceptable.
2) That would be fine
3) Jury's out on that one. I'll think about it. I'm guessing you mean an inertia flipper.

What's the point if the hazards are turned off???
Anyways, I would like the All or Nothing 2 Arena plz.
