Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: RedAce on April 13, 2016, 02:09:19 PM: Yeah, I'd get Forge 1 taken care of first. But a no wedges tournament? Hell yeah I'm in.

Edit: Just noticed the no pop-ups rule. I know people might fine a loophole, but I don't think it is needed with wedges banned and all that.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: yugitom on April 13, 2016, 02:21:11 PM: It's a redundant rule. For a robot to be a popup, it must have a wedge. If I were to get nit-picky, I'd say that the rules on chassis wedges would allow for the use of chassis wedge flippers because they don't gut rip. However, you've got that loophole rule, so no one can act on it, unless you made this point specifically for the exclusion of chassis wedge flippers, but I highly doubt that. I think it would have more simpler to just say "this includes chassis wedges."
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Reier on April 13, 2016, 02:22:22 PM: the rule is there specifically so redace won't get ganged up by 19 wedge bots in the first round in a no wedge tourney

also im in

isnt he done with the forge already? he's just got the awards left

Post by: Reier on April 13, 2016, 03:17:36 PM: I know why you picked the combat arena and its fine but you may want to consider one with a ring-out to punish bumble bots
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Thrackerzod on April 13, 2016, 03:22:26 PM: so can i make a popup for this or what

Forge is over, except for awards. I was waiting to finish the awards to open a poll anyway. Thanks

They count as crawlers, right?
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Reier on April 13, 2016, 04:41:13 PM: I meant more like bots that are crazy unstable and only have controlled movement as a technicality like Beer Goggles and HS with super long weapons
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Bobyasianboy on April 13, 2016, 04:56:18 PM: i agree with reier. also means if a bot spikeballs then it's going to fly out rather than flying around and randomly hitting the other bot.

Cases like that are why I state that I can reject a bot for any reason. I wouldn't let a spikeball like that to enter.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: The Red Blur on April 13, 2016, 05:12:44 PM: No wedges? That'll instantly make it easier for me (because I am terrible with wedges)! I'll think about it.

That's for when I'm ready to move to signups, and I'm waiting to finish the awards for my first tournament to do that
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Naryar on April 14, 2016, 02:56:48 AM: lol yeah. get rid of crawlers and setup a stricter controlled movement rule. we need to stop the obviously unstable HS/VS, or the ones that spend most of their time in spikeball mode.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Badger on April 14, 2016, 05:42:12 PM: Added a poll to vote for the arena.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Gauche Suede on April 14, 2016, 06:37:19 PM: FYI, the RA2T#2 Arena and the DSL Tournament Arena are just the same arena but with a different skin, and they're not very balanced as bots can and will get stuck under the corner spikes/saws.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Reier on April 14, 2016, 06:57:24 PM: DSL arena is way bigger than ra2t2
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: yugitom on April 14, 2016, 07:01:03 PM: Yeah, I swear the DSL Arena is longer (more rectangular.)
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Gauche Suede on April 14, 2016, 07:27:52 PM: It's still really unbalanced though.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: 09090901 on April 14, 2016, 10:40:43 PM: ring arena is just as bad if not worse with bots just pushing each other around the edge of the arena
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Thrackerzod on April 14, 2016, 10:56:38 PM: clearly the solution is to use the flextop

doesn't that help pushers and rammers ?
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Badger on May 02, 2016, 08:20:28 AM: How would you guys feel about allowing bots that bypass the rule of 7 by using serge's .exe? I think it would make the tournament a lot more interesting.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Mystic2000 on May 02, 2016, 01:12:43 PM: that could be fun, i mean, the realisitic rule already prevents quite a lot of OP stuff that could be made without rule of seven, so it should not be causing too much trouble
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Mr. AS on May 02, 2016, 01:52:06 PM: I can't see a whole lot of robots (middleweights no less) actually having a use for the anti-RO7 patch due to ironforge being so easy to build in, but it mite b cool.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: The Red Blur on May 06, 2016, 03:21:05 AM: I think it's good. Might help against those less adept at building.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion [Inactive]
Post by: yugitom on June 07, 2016, 10:05:54 AM: Although this topic has only recently become inactive and locked, Badger has given the 'okay' to anyone wishing to take this tournament over. If you wish to take on this idea, you needn't contact me or Badger, simply make a new thread about it.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Discussion
Post by: Badger on November 22, 2016, 05:47:35 PM: Alrighty boys we're doing a reboot
-Arena changed to Vaporzone
-SnS banned
-Added poll for bracket type

Thoughts?

Post by: Badger on December 09, 2016, 09:31:06 AM: Signups close (for real this time!) in about 2 hours. I've received a couple extra bots but not checked them or added them to the OP.
Title: Re: The Forge - Wedges-Be-Gone | Signups
Post by: Badger on December 09, 2016, 01:05:14 PM: aaaand signups are closed! Since we have so many double entries, and only 10 bots were entered, I will use a round-robin bracket.
