Author Topic: RIP3 Signups! (Read 22756 times)

Let's do this!

RIP3 is all about Clusters! Except there is a few twists...
1) One part must be LW, the other must be MW
2) The 2 parts must NOT be the same bot type
3) Popups and Flail weapons are NOT allowed.
4) I want a THEME! Even if it's just related bot names, I want to see themes, complete with Team Name and optional Motto!

Full Rules
1. DSL Clusterbots, 1 part LW, the other part MW.
2. No popups or flail weapons
3. Standard DSL building regulations, all realistic, with no outside modifications. No cheatbot2 components or custom components.
4. Double Elimination bracket, 2 mins on clock.
5. 1 havok restart in matches. I will judge this, and I politely ask for no complaints
6. Unless you send your own AI, I will AI it so that the weapons work and it moves properly. I politely ask for no complaints if your bot does not work how you want.
7. I have the right to disqualify any entry finding loopholes, or excessively complaining.
8. The arena to be used is a reskinned Containment Cube with hazards on
9. Placeholder bots are not allowed, however you get 1 upgrade (as long as it's not overly different)
10. There is a maximum of 32 team slots.
11. You MAY team up with someone to create your cluster.
12. You will have 2 weeks from signups opening to get your entries in.
13. Any non-filled spots will be automatic passes for those the randomizer favours :P
14. 1 free restart if either of your team's bots is stuck on arena hazards (eg stuck on/under spikes) - I will be judge of this.

Sounds pretty cool. I'm hoping to do better than last time.

You've also still to PM me and let me know that Pokemon is finished before I can let you move this along.

Ah, I did drop GK a PM some time ago, didn't realise it was still hanging around, apologies :P I'll get to it now ;p

rimp rimp rimp

oh and make it an official weightclass, not some cruiserweight nonsense.

Or maybe multibots of different weightclasses, LW/MW ?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #4 on:** May 31, 2012, 08:20:32 AM »

LW would be awesome

madman3 · « **Reply #5 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:35:19 AM »

Make it MW, then erryone could dig it.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #6 on:** May 31, 2012, 10:25:37 AM »

There already was a MW RIP though.

MassimoV · « **Reply #7 on:** May 31, 2012, 10:27:07 AM »

Make it HW. I just want to enter one of these.

so something big would be awesome.

Ultra-heavyweights it is.

cephalopod · « **Reply #9 on:** May 31, 2012, 11:03:23 AM »

Lawl no. I'm not sure about LW, they're just so small and stuff, I want some all-out destruction.
Nary did give me an idea that wasn't really anything like his for another tournament that might work one day, dunnooo. (A tournament where you can enter 2 LWs as a tag-team or 1 MW XD)

NFX · « **Reply #10 on:** May 31, 2012, 12:29:22 PM »

Was the first RIP MW or HW? I don't remember. Either way, you could just make it the other one. =)

martymidget · « **Reply #11 on:** May 31, 2012, 12:34:32 PM »

Since its Craaig and I know how much he likes seeing things ripped to shreds, it'll probably be HW. :P

What about the bot type restrictions that we talked about a while back?

cephalopod · « **Reply #12 on:** May 31, 2012, 12:38:38 PM »

Oh yeeeeah, I completely forgot to mention that.

I was thinking of possibly restricting bot types to ONLY those found IRL - so no Jugglers, Popups, Flail SNS/SS etc, however they could all be, of course, built to maximum DSL efficiency.

Not a bad idea, just as long as you don't enforce IRL building standards, then it should be interesting.

Please no SNS's for love of god.

MW sounds sweet.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 31, 2012, 05:31:15 PM »

nooo we already had oneeeee

cephalopod · « **Reply #17 on:** June 01, 2012, 03:16:30 AM »

POLL ADDED. If you can't see it, just type your vote in here.

HW, all non-IRL bot types banned
HW
MW, all non-IRL bot types banned
MW
Differing weight class clusters

NOTE: By all non-IRL bot types banned, that means no flails, popups, jugglers, FG and stuff that wouldn't work IRL/you don't see IRL, however you can build to maximum DSL efficiency (no IRL building standards)

Gropaga · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2012, 03:24:33 AM »

I hate popup

Edit : what is fg

cephalopod · « **Reply #19 on:** June 01, 2012, 03:26:44 AM »

Me too. Non-IRL types win far too much, and really aren't very exciting (in the case of Popups/SNS)
