Replica Wars 2 discussion thread.
« on: July 27, 2010, 05:34:28 AM »
OK, now that this is unlocked, time for Replica Wars 2, the sequel to the hit tourney Replica Wars!

RULES:
-DSL LW.

-Bots MUST be replicas of real life bots

-BFE and cheatbot parts allowed only if it makes the rep more like the real thing (no overpowered reps!)

-Arena will be RA2 t2 arena, with hazards OFF.

-bracket will be 1 on 1 then 4-way then a 4-way final.

-No losers bracket.

-if a match is ended by time running out, then I will decide on who advances based on the robot who overall performed best.

-If a robot havoks, it gets a free restart ONCE with the remaining competitors (say if a bot havoks when 2 bots are KO'ed, the match would restart with the remaining 2 bots)

-Skinned parts accepted but they must only be reskins. (no TXT editing except for name)

-NO FLAIL SNS

-Your bot cannot be a replica of a bot that is already in DSL 2.1.

-no 2 people can do the same bot.

-Multibots not allowed.

-In the case of byes, the 4 seeded bots will get byes first, then the next highest ranked competitors from RW, then the rest of the competitors from the first RW.

-If you have a bot IRL that is LW or below, you are advised to make a rep of it, but it isn't mandatory.

-Signups will open when there is an empty spot and will end a month after that. (This gives you PLENTY of TIME to make your reps, and I will NOT accept any bots after the deadline!)

-Bot updates can be sent until splash is posted.

And that's about it. Have fun in making your reps, guys.

I know, but since there is a lot of hype for the next tournament I'm gonna host I wanted them to have some place to discuss it.

If you have one, it would be nice to see its RA2 counterpart do well.

Although, I must admit something. I'm really having trouble building a rep that I want that fits in with the weight limit. I know it was done to encourage building of IRL robots that GTMers built themselves, but I think it would've been far better if the weight had been middleweight.
