This was going to be my 800th post, but I overshot. Instead, it's my 800th + 42 post, which is also pretty good, I guess.

The best new tournament host 2015 is at it again with another terrible gimmick tournament!
BORING RULES:
-DSL 2.2, standard building style, HW
-No cheatbot parts, custom parts, etc.
-Multibots are not allowed
-No BFE, AAM, EXP, or whatever other crazy acronym you guys use
-Arena will be the Ring Arena, 3 minute matches
-Single elimination, best of 3 matches
-16 (hopefully) spots
-I will not enter.
-Havok rule: In the event of a major havok occurring during a match, I will rerecord the match. If you feel like your bot was unfairly influenced by a havok that I did not consider restart-worthy, say something and I'll see about redoing the match.
THE GIMMICK:
-Entrants will signup without actually entering any robots yet (kinda like Pot Luck)
-All entrants will select a rival (the rival must also be in the tournament, obviously)
-Rivalry must be mutual; If I asked ACAMS to be my rival and he said no, I'd have to pick someone else.
-Similarly, if I pick ACAMS to be my rival and he said yes, then he would not also get to pick a second rival.
-If there are an odd number of entrants by the time the deadline rolls around, whoever entered last will not be able to participate, unfortunately.
-Once the entering phase is completed, each entrant PMs me a bot type (must be only one type; no hybrids). Their rival has to build a bot of this type. I will post the assignments once they all have been made.
-I reserve the right to refuse any given robot type. Gyro Drills, Crawlers, SnS and Trinity bots are banned.
-All entrants will build their bots and submit them and all that jazz.
-Hybrids are okay so long as the main weapon system is the assigned type. For this tournament, "main weapon system" is defined as "the one with the most weight, including extenders, baseplate anchors, motors, etc." The weight total does not include batteries, however.
-The first round of the tournament will be rival vs rival matches. After that, it'll be a standard single elimination tournament.

Really like the gimmick :) If you decide to give your rival something difficult to work with, expect no mercy from their pick, haha. As usual, I'll be voting no just so I can see the votes every time I view the page (and I just don't normally enter tournaments :P)
-
I like the idea of the gimmick, but it can make things complicated in my opinion, why not have them randomized so that it's easier to work out. Also, I suggest you enter if there is an odd number of entrants, just to even things out.
I plan can still enter, but just beware. I'm not the best in 2.2.
-
I think the whole idea is that you join the tournament sort of like in pairs. If you have a grudge with someone on GTM, or just someone you want to prove yourself to, you may want to talk to them about signing up for this tournament.
-
I like the idea. I won't enter because DSL, but this could be interesting.
-
tfw when i want to enter and r0b0 isn't here
-
Glad to see this is getting some discussion!

Well put, thanks. That said, it's no problem if you'd rather just sign up and see who else enters.
I like the idea. I won't enter because DSL, but this could be interesting.
Game version and weightclass aren't set in stone yet. I just picked HW to allow for the most creativity with constrained designs, and I picked DSL since there's two Stock tournaments in signups right now, and an Ironforge one in discussion.
-
I'd be interested since its dsl tbh. Not sure about the bot type thing entirely though, is the arena open? Otherwise giving your opponent flipper would be an easy win?
Shame everybody loves me though, so i have no rivals...
-
I like this. Sign me up!
-

The Ring Arena is open but I think the idea is to give your opponent something more outlandish, or perhaps something you haven't seen them build before or in a long time, rather than go for something that might actually give you the edge against them.
-
What're the rules on hybrids?
-
im just worried this will turn into everyone's rival telling them to build a terrible bot and the whole thing will be filled with tfsrsbds and flippers and stuff
also the first guy who is told what bot to build will basically come out on top cause then he'll tell his rival to build a bot type that's weak against his
-

Good point. I'll add something about having to PM me bot assignments to the OP.
I like this. Sign me up!
Glad you're interested! I won't make any signups or rivalries official until the tournament moves to signups, though.
What're the rules on hybrids?
Good question! How about this: hybrids are OK as long as the main weapon system is of the assigned type. This, of course, runs into problems with defining "main weapon system", so I'll define it as "the one that has the most weight, including extenders and baseplate anchors and all that". If that sounds reasonable, I'll add it to the OP.
Also, I was thinking maybe I should ban some of the really terrible bot types, like Gyro Drill or whatever. Thoughts?
-

but thats what makes pot luck so great is the dumb bot types people come up with
-
defining "main weapon system", so I'll define it as "the one that has the most weight, including extenders and baseplate anchors and all that". If that sounds reasonable, I'll add it to the OP.
So a 51/49 split is cool?
-
*tsundere mode activate*
fine i'll take madman if there is no one else. or even thyrus. and not a noname that i never even had any animosity with
-
what are you planning on doing if someone doesn't send a bot?
-
If DG enters, I think it's clear that he should be my rival.
-
what are you planning on doing if someone doesn't send a bot?
Another good point! How about something like the Backup Brigade in Pot Luck 2? Of course, hopefully everyone will send one, but that might be too much to ask for.

If someone goes to the effort to make their hybrid that refined, then sure, I guess.
-

I sure hope it isn't too much to ask for. If we go out of our way to penalise tournament hosts if they do not do what they said they were going to do, I think we should ask for the same of those who wish to participate in these sort of tournaments (where you must sign up and then make a robot, not the other way around.)
-
If DG enters, I think it's clear that he should be my rival.
Well I am so, this time I'm gonna kick your ass.
-
Alright, we hit 8 votes! Not quite ready to move to signups yet though, gotta do a bit of housekeeping first. Also, since I really would like to get a full or almost full bracket, I was planning to hold out for a bit anyway.
I noticed I didn't have any havok rules in the OP. Has been updated. I also added a multibot rule.
As far as banned robot types go, I'm just gonna steal this rule from Pot Luck 2: I reserve the right to refuse any given robot type. Gyro Drills, Crawlers, SnS and Trinity bots are banned.
That's also on the OP now.
If you have any problems with the new rules, or just the tournament in general, speak soon or forever hold your pizza.
-
Would prefer stock, but I'm entering no matter what. Up with gimmicks!
-
*tsundere mode activate*
fine i'll take madman if there is no one else. or even thyrus. and not a noname that i never even had any animosity with
there's always doomkiller, but hey
I remember our ham. You're still inferior to me.
-
Alright, it's been over a day and no one's complained about the rules; time to get this thing ready for entries! I'll contact yugitom shortly.

Thoughts? Anything I should change up? Anything I missed?
This is now a signups topic and the rules may not change. Enjoy, you've got 9 months :)
-
Well, now that it's signups, sign me up. And I'm pretty sure DG agreed to be my rival earlier on in the thread, so that's sorted.
-
So like I'm in. But all the people I considered rivals don't enter anymore.
-
i would like to join as well. I just dont really have anybody to go with
-
put me in coach
-
bbut geice-san we're destined to fight each other
-
Sign me up, bud.
-
Yo, RedAce. Be my rival.
-
Alright, I think I've updated the OP with everything that's happened since the tournament got moved. Lemme know if I made a mistake.
bbut geice-san we're destined to fight each other
Are you signing up? Sorry, I couldn't tell.
Anyway, please continue entering and forming rivalries. Don't send any bot types just yet; I'd like to get the rivalries all sorted out before moving into the bot types part. Current deadline for entering is March 23rd, will be extended as proves necessary.
-
id like to enter

Yes.
-
Update: Added 090901 and Gauche Suede to the entrants list, added a rivalry between Squirrel_Monkey and RedAce.
-
Is the first round rival match an elimination match or is it a for fun show match?
-

Elimination. The 8 winners go on to do a regular single elimination tournament. So you'll have to beat your rival if you want to go any further.

fine i'll take madman if there is no one else. or even thyrus. and not a noname that i never even had any animosity with
C'mon, weakling. Submit yourself to oblivion.

-
sign me up, however, i don't know who shall be worthy of being my rival now that i can't crush dear old Nary since Kossokei is already gonna humiliate him
-
Alright, with Mystic added, that makes 16 entries! 8 of you still don't have rivals, so get on that.
Also, if anyone is still interested in joining, you can join as a backup. I'll call on the backups if someone fails to build their given robot by whatever deadline I set for building. (Basically exactly like in Pot Luck 2.)
-
Id be down to be a backup.
-
silverfish ya wanna fite

-
Okay, guys, let's try not to clog up the thread with this. It was fun for the first instance but let's try to keep things on topic. In the spirit of the tournament, I'll allow Kosso and Nary to have at it a tad bit more, same goes with any other rivalry, but try not to make quote walls while you're at it.
-
Which one of you guys is a bad enough dude to take me on?
-
So wait hold on. Do we need to wait for everyone to have a rival first vet re we suggest bot types for our rivals to build, or can we give our rival our bot type if we already have one?
-
MR AS lets goooooo
-
Just like to say, that this was filled insanely fast haha
If you need another backup i'd be down (you wont need more than one though).
-
MR AS lets goooooo
Sorry, but the tournament's full already. Maybe Rival Rumble 2: Rumble Harder?
Just like to say, that this was filled insanely fast haha
Guess that's what happens when people don't have to make bots before entering!
Id be down to be a backup.
If you need another backup i'd be down (you wont need more than one though).
Thanks! Ya'll have been added to the backups list.

I'd prefer you wait for everyone has their rivalries set up, mostly for bookkeeping reasons.
-
theres like 4 more people who wanna join. do a 20 bracket?

-
won't work with the format.
-
Yeah, you'd have some people without rivals and that goes against the gimmick
-
theres like 4 more people who wanna join. do a 20 bracket?
Sorry dude. I said 16 bots and I'm gonna keep it 16 bots. Both for bracket reasons and for time commitment reasons. Better luck next time.
Would you like me to add you to the backup list, though?
-
can I fight sage in a grudge match or something at least
-
You guys could do a challenge match...?
-
Update: Added rivalry between Sircreepalot2 and Silverfish.
-
8. Gauche Suede
9. kaiser112183
12. Mr. AS
14. Bobyasianboy
16. Mystic2000
one of you guys hit me up
-
People trying to find rivals.
When they should have had rivals in the first place
-
yeah silverfish is my dat- I MEAN RIVAL

edit: lol just noticed mr.as sent me a pm to be rivals like 5 minutes after i posted so ill probably go with him. my bad gauche, i still love you though
-
Geice vs Mr AS sounds like a better rivalry anyway.

Nah that's alright.
-
Added Rivalry between Geice and Mr. AS. Four unrivaled people left.
Side note, though it's probably be obvious: the last two people without rivals will get automatically paired with each other.
-
Something, I don't know what, makes me think that Gauche and Boby should be paired with each other.
-
These are the jokers who don't have a rival yet:
Gauche Suede
kaiser112183
Bobyasianboy
Mystic2000
If none of y'all pick anyone by the signups deadline, I'll just randomize the pairings. Deadline in two days. Then we'll move on to bot-type-assignment!
-
I can go against Gauche Suede if he's alright with that
-
Gauche Suede has accepted Bobyasianboy's challenge, and with that, we have all 8 sets of rivals!
1. TheRedBlur vs DeadGenocide
2. Squirrel_Monkey vs RedAce
3. Kossokei vs Naryar
4. 090901 vs ty4er
5. Sircreepalot2 vs Silverfish
6. Geice vs Mr. AS
7. Bobyasianboy vs Gauche Suede
8. Mystic2000 vs kaiser112183
Now we're onto the bot type assignment phase! PM me the bot type your rival has to build before the deadline, March 27th!
-
8 bot types submitted already! Keep it up!
-
These are the people who still need to send bot types for their rivals to build:
Sircreepalot2
Silverfish
Mystic2000
kaiser112183
I'll send out PMs sometime, I guess. In the meantime, I gotta build a Stock LW with no wedge.
-
Kaiser112183 failed to send in a bot type by the deadline, so KingofKings696 gets his spot. (Wasn't expecting the backups to come into play yet, but hey.) KingofKings696 has 1 week to send in a bot type for Mystic2000 to build.

Why not just assign them with bot types?
-
>1 WEEK to send a bot type
are you serious ? just send him pm's and if he does not answer in the following days, choose for him.
-
I gave everyone else 1 week to submit a bot type, so it's only fair to also give him 1 week. But that's beside the point, as he's already submitted one. Here's the assignments list! (also on OP):
TheRedBlur --------Clamp
DeadGenocide ------Chicken Drill
Squirrel_Monkey ---Flying Guillotine
RedAce ------------Clamp
Kossokei ----------Poker
Naryar ------------Poker
090901 ------------Flail Hammer
ty4er -------------Clamp
Sircreepalot2 -----Popup
Silverfish --------Popup
Geice -------------Poker
Mr. AS ------------Full Body Spinner
Bobyasianboy ------Upward Poker
Gauche Suede ------Weaponed Flipper
Mystic2000 --------Chicken Drill
KingofKings696------Vertical Hammer
I notice an interesting strategy from Silverfish and Creepalot. Not sure how I feel about it, but looks like whoever wins their match is gonna be the one to beat.
-
what even is an upward poker
-
Oh great, I love you so much RedAce.
I at least gave you a chance :P
-
If i were to guess upward poker is probably a bot that slides under opponent and piston fires vertically from underneath.
-
what even is an upward poker
Make a poker with pistons that fire at an upwards angle. For the purposes of this tournament, I'll say I'll allow it as long as the pistons are angled up somewhat, so you don't need to make it fire straight up or anything like that.
-
Oh great, I love you so much RedAce.
I at least gave you a chance :P
Honestly, I was trying to go for a bit of irony for what i picked for you.
But yeah, a clamp? Interesting. I just hope I don't clone Guard Duty for my final result.
inb4 sircreepalot and silverfish win
-
3 clamps, a flying guillotine, a FBS (gotta see what FBS means lol), a weaponed flipper, 4 pokers, 2 hammers, and 2 chicken drills. I like this tournament style already.
Of course there are the two popups, but at least there will be only one popup here.
Eh. Even with bad type matchups I can win this. I'm the mighty Naryar, goddamnit, and my NAR AI building has put me back into good builder material. Bring it on !
Also my reactions-
TheRedBlur --------Clamp
DeadGenocide ------Chicken Drill
>implying they can even do this
Squirrel_Monkey ---Flying Guillotine
RedAce ------------Clamp
this is gonna be a funny match. i think the clamp will win tho, and that's a good thing.
Kossokei ----------Poker
Naryar ------------Poker
LOL
i wanted to do a sidewards poker but it would be dishonorabru AND it wouldn't last against the other bots
090901 ------------Flail Hammer
ty4er -------------Clamp
special olympics anyone ? anyways, i predict some immobilizations, and the clamp will probably win
Sircreepalot2 -----Popup
Silverfish --------Popup
judging from building skill, creepalot will win. otherwise it's popup vs popup. nothing to say here.
Geice -------------Poker
Mr. AS ------------Full Body Spinner
hmm, an interesting match. the one with more weapons will win the match, i think AS can win but not sure. both builders are of equal skill.
Bobyasianboy ------Upward Poker
Gauche Suede ------Weaponed Flipper
weaponed flipper can win because it can self right better than an upwards poker, which needs additional weight over srimech. although i bet gauche will just enter a true popup and call it a weaponed flipper, especially with the strong DSL2.2 bursts.
if gauche wins he will be dangerous, though.
Mystic2000 --------Chicken Drill
KingofKings696------Vertical Hammer
KoK696 should normally win with a hammer against a chicken drill, but i feel Mystic who is the vastly superior builder will win here.
Although chicken drill is hardcore mode in this tourney.
-
Clamp? Ugh. This is gonna be difficult. I think he chose clamp because he knows my last one was a total fail :P. THE COUP DE GRAVY MK. II IS COMING, DG!
-
Kossokei ----------Poker
Naryar ------------Poker
LOL
i wanted to do a sidewards poker but it would be dishonorabru AND it wouldn't last against the other bots
4-Poker: For obvious reasons and phallic imagery. Also, it's not easy to win with a poker.
I would expect no less, conqueror.

i am only now seeing that i gave the poker bot type to a slaaneshi
tbh i should have chosen better than to do that
-
its ok guys i never build DSL you are all safe.

Received bots from RedAce and DeadGenocide already!
Also I don't think I mentioned, but you can send in bot updates up until the submissions deadline. Updates can be anything from changing the skin to an entire new bot (with the same bot type, of course).
EDIT: Nearly forgot! RedAce made a really cool skin for the Ring Arena that I'm going to be using. Thanks, dude!

AW SH!T I MADE A BOT AND IT WORKED REALLY WELL AND IT WAS A MW OH GOD
-
Now you just need to put that flail hammer on the Sumo diet to get it to its weight class lol
-
April 30th? I've almost finished my bot already. It's... Moderately effective. Should I AI it myself (although all I can do is AI it to move towards other bots)?

You can send in an AI line if you want to, but if you don't, I'll just give it omni (unless asked otherwise).
-
My bot's done, so I shall be sending it in. Couldn't be bothered to do a skin, so I may resend the bot with a skin if I get 'round to it.
-
Reminder that this is a thing.
I've accepted 4 entries so far.
Deadline is in like 3 weeks or so, so there's still loads of time.
-
I give up. I cannot build an effective clamp, it is simply an impossible task for me. Whoever is still left in the reserves is free to take my place.

fairly certain only gods among us can build effective clamps... weaponless robots don't have much fun outside IRL

There are no gods.

I give up. I cannot build an effective clamp
Here's the problem: clamps aren't effective. Just build something terrible and send it in.
Please.
I've only gotten 4 bots so far, I'm starting to worry no one is going to bother building.

I've built my bot, it's just I'd been in hospital so I forgot to send it.

That's an acceptable reason.

Clamps are one of the best bot types in ra2... idk what kind of drugs you guys are on
and you'll probably get a huge swarm of poorly built, half-assed bots on the last day.

I've pretty much finished my entry, I'm just away from my main computer currently and can't send it. People usually start building pretty close to the deadline anyway, wouldn't worry about it.

implying you can build anything effective in the first place (http://i.imgur.com/zvREowj.png)

Just build something terrible. Okay. I got something, I guess. I'll send it when I get the chance.

The most recent posts, especially the most recent have not been contributory. Please stay on topic and I'll keep close watch of this thread.

-
Are we allowed to send in bot updates?
-
Yeah
-
Welp.
We've hit the deadline, and there are still 7 people who haven't entered their bots. Plus, I wasn't really thinking when I made the deadline, so it's the middle of final exams for me. That's why I'm announcing a 1-week extension to the deadline. New deadline is 11:59 PM on May 7. I figured I'd wait as long as possible to announce this, to encourage panic-building, and see how many entries I could get.
To those of you who already have your bots in: thank you! I'll be sending PMs out to everyone who has yet to submit a robot shortly.
-
In light of the recently-released "no rule of 7" thing, I'd like to ask that you do not use it while building for Rival Rumble.
-
After the habitual procrastination, I have built something and am going to send it asap.
Although I notice my rival hasn't send anything. It will be very dishonorabru if he bails out >:O
-
I agree Nar I am hoping my rival sends his in as well
-
Got robots in from Naryar and ty4er. Thanks for sending those in.
-

-

I would just treat the empty spaces as byes.
Pretty sure 09 posted his bot in his showcase, so i think he just needs to send it in

I knew that! I was saying maybe you could post a bot TZ. Poor choice of words, once again. Apologies.

You have to say if you're going to enter and show your bot before signups.

A-yup.
Can't wait to see the splash, I think my poker is pretty good (for a poker) and I have a decent shot at winning this.
I feel the popups will probably be standard dual-wedge popups so i can wedge myself under them, and the flying guillotine will be a dangerous opponent but i may just be wide enough to counter it. Besides, someone may just kill it beforehand.
None of the other bot types seem threatening, although I am judging quickly, since splash isn't posted yet.
-
Mine will crash and burn. But what do you expect from a TRB bot, eh?
-
Pretty sure Mystic showcased his bot, weird that he didn't sent it.

will be intresting to see how everyone else built their pokers. built mine in a rush so it's kind of sh** but we'll see.
-
wow good job me
i forgot to make mystic's name orange when he entered
09 sent a bot as well so everyone's in now
expect a splash in 3 years or so
-

Only 3? Gee, you're much faster than G.K... (I'm so sorry. No offense to G.K., I was just making a really bad joke...)

Little update for y'all:
If you check the OP, you'll notice I've got a good chunk of the AIing done. Splashes are also coming along nicely, and we should be ready to move to SBV soon enough.
