Title: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: Vertigo on January 07, 2011, 10:22:41 AM
Same rules as last time

Discuss

And Joe can I keep 24 entrants please?

There, discussed, but you're not gonna start this in the next vote are you?

Oh, and you would really do well to remove hammer from bot types, since they mostly failed.

Will the Not Quite Evil Council reunite once more ? I will make a small banner for it  :evilsmile:

If say you NFX & GK want to be on your team again, then I put them in Team 1 and use random.org to fill the remaining spaces
If you all want to be on NNQEC again then thats fine too!

And what do you reccomend in place of the hammers

Because you can't build hammers for sh** ?

A repeat of last time would be nice though... DOUBLE CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE BELT.

EVIL COUNCIL WILL PREVAIL.

And maybe VS rather than hammers... since craaig is on my team
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: NFX on January 07, 2011, 10:38:49 AM
Let's see...Flipper, Rammer, Spinner of some sort, LW, Other......multibot?
 
And Naryar's Not Quite Evil Council shall prevail once more!  :evilsmile:  *Evil Laugh #12*

Too many spinners in a team then if a spinner is used for the extra bot

Only one of the hammers was bad anyway, sorry Scorps
Devils Vice was awesome, so was Ingor, and marty's just never really did well in the actual matches, it was actually quite good
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: Naryar on January 07, 2011, 10:42:03 AM
I suggest
-Rammer/Poker
-VS
-HS
-Any weaponless bot (for flextop)
-Any gut-ripper
-MW rather than LW, for some change.
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: Vertigo on January 07, 2011, 10:43:44 AM
Remember the enforced realism :P

Flipper
Spinner
Rammer/Poker/Hammer
Extra HW
MW
LW

And we ditch destruction for MW faceoff?

Oh, good, there's no hammer bot in this one. And I shalt vow too never again make a hammer bot.
Anyway, I'll gladly be part of team 4 again (it saves me changing my sig at the very least :P)

The hammer category still exists, but if you get it you may choose to make a rammer/poker instead
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: Scorpion on January 09, 2011, 10:03:15 AM
Well I know which one i'd pick, and infact, I don't see why anybody would piakc a hammer bot over a rammer IMO
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: JoeBlo on January 10, 2011, 08:32:49 PM
but many rammers have exposed tops.. if you make a good enough hammer you could secure easy wins over the rammers :P

Yes, but on the other hand, if I end up making another hammer bot, i'm going to rip off my own face (slight overexageration) :P

Exactly how are the teams organised.

I mean, who's the person who decides who's with who?
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: martymidget on January 21, 2011, 09:54:42 AM
They are randomised, and the bot types are randomised into each team.

All will become clear when its in signups, due to some people wanting to keep their teams, signups stage has changed slightly...

I wouldn't mind being on random teams, but it'd be fun to represent Naryar's Not Quite Evil Council once again. =D

Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2

You should enter, Conraaa. The teams get randomised, I think. So Naryar's Not Quite Evil Council will be unlikely twice in a row.
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: Stagfish on January 21, 2011, 10:53:21 AM
Do we make bots before the teams are chosen or after?
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: NFX on January 21, 2011, 10:54:09 AM
After. You get assigned a team, and you also get a bot type assigned. For instance, you could have to build a flipper for team 4, or a LW for team 2.
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: Vertigo on January 21, 2011, 10:54:41 AM
I'll explain

If you want to enter again NFX, you can specify you want to be on NNQEC again, this is then guaranteed
If Conraa enters, he will be randomized into an empty team slot
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: Stagfish on January 21, 2011, 10:55:04 AM
So we can get help from our team mates?

Do you use your BRAIN when posting sometimes, or are you just too lazy to think and find the answer by yourself ?

Same rules as last time

hmm... then as noted before, one team will contain all the custom parts ?

Though im happy to team with Ouncy again.. and see if we cant snag Whales too :P
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: martymidget on January 21, 2011, 10:58:25 AM
I think that if NNQEC does enter as one team (yo) they shouldn't be able to use the prize; instead, the prize can be used in different tournaments that Vert runs. Just to throw that out there.... However, if they are randomised, then I have no qualms with using the ant ;D
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: NFX on January 21, 2011, 10:59:09 AM
You can get advice, but you must do all the building yourself.

I don't actually mind which team I'm on. In the interests of fairness, really. As people have already voiced, not have all the people with prize components in one team.
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: G.K. on January 21, 2011, 11:00:13 AM
I don't see why that's unfair. We won last time as a team; we use our prize we won for winning as a team as a team.
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: Vertigo on January 21, 2011, 11:00:55 AM
RULES CAN BE SEEN HERE: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,5110.0.html (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,5110.0.html)

Bar the fact that bot categories are now:

HW Flipper
HW Spinner
HW Rammer/Poker/Hammer
LW
MW
One HW of your teams choice

If you want to enter again NFX, you can specify you want to be on NNQEC again, this is then guaranteed

hmm... then as noted before, one team will contain all the custom parts ?

Yes, they will have the prizes, they did win :P

123STW can't specify he wants to be on your team, as he didn't enter RA2TC1
All teams must have been randomized together at some point

The super ant isn't that much of an advantage, unless used on a flipper
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: Naryar on January 21, 2011, 11:01:56 AM
Who cares about fairness ? Look at that sneaky joeblo, trying to catch all the best builders.

We are not quite evil, but it doesn't means we give a fair chance to our opponents :trollface
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: NFX on January 21, 2011, 11:03:29 AM
Ah, I see. It's really more to do in terms of design than if you have a prize component. For instance, I could end up making a really rubbish rammer, and end up being owned by the other teams by not putting a wedge on. =P
 
NNQEC! =D
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2

123STW > Custom Parts :P

Im just trying to improve the arsenal

I don't see why that's unfair. We won last time as a team; we use our prize we won for winning as a team as a team.

While that logic makes sence I think having a team of custom part robots tips the balance further then having a selection of robots with custom parts fighting in a free for all situation..
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: NFX on January 21, 2011, 11:08:56 AM
I would say that our prizes (since most of us chose the super ant) are unlikely to allow us to cause any more damage to our opponents than it would do if we were to use regular batteries. We've still got the same weapons as you to use, it's just a case of building the bots properly.
 
Edit: I have made NNQEC an awesome crest for next time. Take that, Team 4TW. =D

IMO, all teams should be randomized, and all RA2TC 1 teams abandoned. That way it is more fair.

(My apologies if this was already how it was going to be and I just misread).
Title: Re: RA2 Team Championships 2
Post by: Vertigo on January 22, 2011, 03:06:01 AM
As I said before, the super ant isn't that much ofan advantage, unless used on a flipper.

Also not to be forgotten, if all of team 3 join together again, then two more users will be randomized wth them
