This is a little embarrassing to ask considering how long I've been here, but does anyone know where to find the download for 2.2? Reason being I've been using 2.1 for ages and I guess I never knew about the 2.2 update.

Also on another note are Behemoth or Mortis styled robots allowed?

and he said only if the axe is the main weapon.

To further elaborate on DG's point, a Behemoth style robot wouldn't be allowed as the scoop is the main weapon (Behemoth's axe didn't really ever do anything.) Mortis style robots are allowed to some extent, as long as the axe is the primary weapon. (I previously stated that robots like Hydra are allowed and Mortis and Hydra are fairly similar.

On another note; I'm assuming that all Potato votes are yes votes. XD

Well why else did you make potato an answer?

Elementos · « **Reply #44 on:** February 06, 2016, 07:38:09 AM »

Just want to have a last check on whether everyone is in agreement with the rules? The combined Yes and Potato votes are nearly up to the 16 entrants required so I am preparing to start sign-ups relatively soon.

I also want to not have a slow sign-ups period, so when this does get put through, be sure to send your entries fast if possible :3

You are technically supposed to wait for 3 months when your discussion topic is ready because you bailed on and never finished MI2 (

), but I'll work on rewriting the rules maybe to get rid of that as it's difficult to police...

You can't assume that. For example, I voted Potato but I don't want to enter. I just wanted to see what the votes were without clicking on Show Results all the time. If that's what you're assuming, why can't I retract my vote? I'm afraid rules explicitly state you need 'Yes' votes, not 'Potato' votes.

Once your tournament has at least half it's entry list size in 'Yes' votes (for example, 8 'Yes' votes for a 16 bot tournament)

Elementos · « **Reply #47 on:** February 06, 2016, 08:42:56 AM »

Usually when people add joke answers in the polls they mean yes. If you didn't want to enter then you should use "no" or have not even voted.

And I can wait the 3 months if required, it doesn't matter too much.

I would argue the opposite. Anyways, the poll really doesn't matter, if you want to host the tournament you will, and if people want to join they will when you start signups.

I agree. Also, just because that's 'usually' what they mean (which they don't, imo), doesn't mean a precedent has been set for all joke answers to be the equivalent of yes. You should have made it quite clear in the poll option 'Potato' that it means 'Yes' (such as, 'Potato (means yes)').

cephalopod · « **Reply #50 on:** February 06, 2016, 09:26:55 AM »

Yeah, potato != yes, and as you require 16 yes votes, I've edited your poll to allow users to change votes. This may work in your favour as the majority may switch to yes.

He needs 8, Craaig. Well, as a bare minimum. You could argue that he should wait until 16 people definitely want to enter.

Elementos · « **Reply #52 on:** February 06, 2016, 10:20:16 AM »

I don't want to be picking sides here but yugi is kinda right.

Some of the reason MI2 failed is that people said they'd enter then immediately lost interest and didn't. I'd like to get at least 12 yes votes before I even consider starting signups.

cephalopod · « **Reply #53 on:** February 06, 2016, 10:25:54 AM »

Oh this isn't a side thing it's just me making a mistake :P yeah, 8 minimum.

Elementos · « **Reply #54 on:** February 06, 2016, 12:52:52 PM »

I meant he was right about the waiting for 16 entrants part :3

I know this focuses about bots armed with an axe weapons, but I'd like to know if hammers/sledgehammer type weapons are permitted.

Only axe robots are allowed in this tournament. And yes, this includes side axes. This excludes hammers as well.

KingofKings696 · « **Reply #59 on:** February 06, 2016, 09:14:15 PM »

His rules state excludes hammers so Id assume its safe to say no hammers.
