- The arena used will be the Robo Zone 2 Arena (Reskinned (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61726robozone_arena.png))
- You will face each bot, 1-on-1, and if you win, you will advance to the next bot, with each bot getting gradually harder to beat.

- If you fail to survive or beat the HS, you die.
- This process will continue until there is one bot left.
Final Round Rules:
Once one bot is left standing, then they must escape alive. Here's how this will work:
- These battles will take place in the Ring Arena (Reskinned (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36312ring_preview.png))
- There will be a two minute time limit
- The lone survivor must beat all of the ghosts to escape.
- The matchup order will be determined by the scores from the previous rounds, from lowest will fight first, highest will fight last.
- Ghosts will have 3 chances in lives to beat the survivor, if the ghosts loses all three lives, then they are out, permanently.
- If a ghost manages to beat the survivor, then they can steal the body and they get a chance to escape.
- Whoever is the previous survivor will also lose a life depending on how many they had before they turned into a ghost.
- The last bot standing will escape and win the game.
In case anyone is a tad unfamiliar with what exactly this is inspired by, then take a look at this video (http://tinyurl.com/zk9ey5o) as an example.

Interesting.
I'll try and build something.
-
I am sooooo entering this.
-
It reminds me of Mario Party...
But with robots.
-
this sounds super interesting. i'll enter
-
- Stock Middlewight
sign me up
-
Im defo entering its stock its fresh its unique and i like that :smile:
-
It sounds like a cool off shoot of Robotica and RoboZone.
"If you ALL beat EMERGENCY, then everyone dies."
That's not fair. Shouldn't at least somebody win? (Or at least Somebody?)

Yeah I agree with this, expecting someone to lose to emergency is pretty far-fetched. Maybe do it on time or points?
-
Building my robot and it weighs 401.1 kg. First time building a popup. YOU DO NOT KNOW MY RAGE RIGHT NOW :vista:

Yeah, I wasn't sure on this part and I wanted to avoid making three or four mini-games that are essentially the same thing. I'm all for suggestions for improvements or a completely new one all together.
Also, I just noticed that I forgot to add the meltybrain ban. Will make these changes now.
-
Whats a meltybrain? And i've finally put my robot into the middle weights (for stock) so yay for me :claping :claping :claping :claping :claping
-
I am incredibly down for this.
Let's go
-

meltybrain is a custom AI script that allows for sit-and-spin robots to move while spinning. While it is entirely realistic, it provides an unfair advantage due to the nature of AI in RA2, and so most tournaments nowadays ban it.
-
Okay, so I got a different mini-game instead of the Emergency one:
BOXES:
- Once signups are full, I will PM everyone beforehand on a box to choose beforehand.
- Victims will be fighting one of 16 different AW boxes with wheels.
- These battles will have no time limit
- The arena used will be the Small Arena (Reskinned)
- If you are a safe player, then you will have inserted a bomb inside, if you are not a safe player, then you will have chosen a box to fight.
- If the victims choose a box, they'll die.
If people prefer this mini-game, then I will replace it.
Also, glad to hear people are wanting to enter. Guess I'll get myself busy in my Thanksgiving break.
-
what exactly does "safe player" mean?
-
what exactly does "safe player" mean?
Any survivors that have won their battle beforehand and ghosts.
-
What would be the "boxes"?
I also have my entry. It is either really good, or REALLY bad.
-
I'm definitely entering this
-
Instead of trivia murder party, just have it as MURDER PARTY 1
-
I'll enter, as I already have a bot I wanna use. :dumb)
-
Wait since this has gotten sixteen votes for yes(the amount for the tournament). Does that mean this is now in sign-up form?
-

Yugitom, the Tournament Moderator, has to officially turn it into a signups thread and make the rules unchangeable.

Yugitom, the Tournament Moderator, has to officially turn it into a signups thread and make the rules unchangeable.
Just for Jamied666: in addition, it's at the discretion of the host as to when it's ready to go through that process. For example, I have a tournament that has the votes but I'm not going to actually set as "ready for signups" for a few days.
As soon as this tournament is in the "Multi-entry Signups" sub forum and not the Public Tournament Discussion forum, it's ready for entries.
-
Yeah, what wakky said.
Also, I'm planning on opening signups tomorrow morning or on Sunday. Just to get my copy of RA2 fresh and ready.
Edit: New name and logo is up, the Arenas are reskinned and the previews are also up. Let's get this show on the road.

If there is anyone confused with anything, then I'll answer them in the best way I can. Please be civil about them.
This is now a signups topic and the rules quoted may not change. Have fun, you've got 6 months.
-
Signups are now open!
I've give everyone until the 19th of December. I'll extend anything if needed.
-
I have recieved a bot from Baconus_Yum, DeadGenocide, Jamied666, Guldenflame, Lightning S. and Badger.
I will check them all now.
Edit: All of them are accepted.
-
why not have unlimited entries instead of 16
-
why not have unlimited entries instead of 16
Because with the format of the tournament, unlimited entries would absolutely make everything a nightmare to keep track of and it would just take forever to get through.
Edit: I have received a bot from WenXiangLee, and it's accepted.
-
If I can come up with a name you'll have another bot.
-
I've received both Dreamcast's and Geice's bots. Both are accepted.
Edit: I've also received DemonOfTomorrow's and Kurt's bot. Both also accepted.
-
I have recieved both Silverfish's bot. and DemonOfTomorrow's updated bot. Both are accepted.
-
Good grief. This is filling up fast. I was just going to re-enter a bot, but I might not get the chance at this rate.
-
I've received 090901's bot. It's accepted.
-
I won't have time to build anything, have fun people who entered
-
I have received Mr. AS's bot. It is accepted.
-
sent
-
I'm glad that I got Popup Café in very early because if I didn't then I wouldn't be in this great tournament...
-
I've received Badnik96's bot. It's accepted.
-
I have received Squirrel_Monkey's bot. It is accepted.
Unless there is an obvious error that I missed, Signups are now closed!
I'll get everything ready (e.g. AI'ing the bots), so it might take a bit before I get the SBV thread and all that up.
-
I apologise in advance for re-entry. I never seem to have time to build between a tournament being announced and signups being full.
-
Damn ya'll filled this up way too quick.
-
Dang this went fast.
Good luck with the tournament then, I guess!
-
lol, I expect a lot of noobish bots and re-entries
anyways, I guess i shouldn't be too upset about not getting to enter, whatever i was planning on entering would've failed anyway :dumb)
-
You slowpokes can always cheer Wen on. He has entered a very original robot.

Bot exchange, by the looks.
-
Oh... I forgot :facepalm:
-
Okay, time for an update. I'e been getting all the bots and mini-game bots AI'd, and I changed the time limit for the Slaughterhouse mini-game. I forgot to change it when I was suggested the Robo-Zone arena. I'll get the splashes up by the end of today or the beginning of tomorrow (EST wise).
