Title: The Zone: Signups CLOSED
Post by: Silverfish on December 06, 2016, 05:06:29 PM
I'd like to give hosting another shot. Here's a concept:
16 entrants

Stock LW
IRL
HAX Mode Banned
No modifications outside of the game
Meltybrain and crawlers banned
One havok restart per match, after that, it's a forfeit.
Upgrades: You may make unlimited upgrades that DO NOT CHANGE THE AI. YOU MAY ONLY CHANGE YOUR AI ONCE. MAKE IT COUNT.
The gimmick: This will be run KotH style (BO1, winner keeps fighting, most wins, well... wins).
5 rounds will be run, with everyone fighting once per round.
Seed will be determined by how fast you can kill some kind of SFTW. The current king will go first after round 1, followed in order of the least kills to the most.
Arena: Starts as combat zone, no hazards. after 1 round, it's the king's choice, of any arena they want (as long as it works and is skinned appropriately).
I will NOT be entering unless there are less than 8 people who enter at the end of the deadline.


Signups:
1: botomatic1000 (Major edit used)
2: jamied666
3: dragonsteincole
4: Rob Collins

hmm. i'd say stock. it's been a while since we had a stock IRL tourney.

the first irl tourney was stock, IIRC ? I think Ribbs hosted it.

If you're going for IRL I don't see why RA2CF should be banned, every other IRL tournament allows it. If this ends up being stock, then unless you're going for a noob wars esque look, everything is going to be terrible if you ban RA2CF.

I am up for this, but I would prefer the MW class for stock irl.

Yeah that's another thing, you can't do as much in stock for the same weight. I think MW (or even CW) would make stock better for IRL. Host's choice tho

Hm. What I meant by that was actually the IRL rule depends on what mode, but if you guys wanna see stock IRL, I could oblige that if you want.
So the question is, do you?
Title: Re: The Zone: Discussion
Post by: Badger on December 07, 2016, 03:48:07 PM
ye stock IRL is pretty different, you should do that
Title: Re: The Zone: Discussion
Post by: Silverfish on December 07, 2016, 04:18:36 PM
Ok, since everyone seems to want this, Rule change to all IRL and RA2CF Unbanned.

It's not King of the Hill mode.

Basically, the tournament starts with a 1v1 in the combat arena. then, the KOTH thing means that if you win, you remain fighting and get to pick the arena the next fight is in and get a random opponent.
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups

So it's basically a Stock IRL Gauntlet.

... I'm In.

First, Dragonsteincole's entry received. However, it violates IRL and requires an update.

^this. IRL was given because everyone interested wanted to see it.

As long as it could be built in real life, it follows the IRL (In Real Life) rule. It's fairly strange what works where, send me the bot and I'll tell you!
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Silverfish on January 07, 2017, 12:50:17 PM
TGM's entry recieved, but it violates the IRL rule. :P
Enter now!
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Asbestosstar on January 07, 2017, 12:52:39 PM
I am soon going to submit my bot.
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Silverfish on January 09, 2017, 06:28:37 PM
All right, I put this off as long as I could.
Due to recent interest, signups have been extended 1 week.
NOW ENTER! XD
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Silverfish on January 10, 2017, 03:51:22 PM
Dragonsteincole and TGM's entries both fixed.
Still 12 spots left, but even still...
ENTER LOL
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: kix on January 10, 2017, 06:17:53 PM
This is gonna be the shortest tournament ever!

I think I will enter my IRL LW hammer,

Nah, I think I will enter something.
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Silverfish on January 15, 2017, 09:16:26 PM
Ok, this isn't getting many entries. I still will run it, despite (EXTREMELY) low signups, and am going to say this:
You have until Jan. 30 (And I'm not extending it any more, I've been really generous with this) and may have 2 entries (as permissed by yugitom, thanks!) per person.
Get those in!
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Silverfish on January 19, 2017, 05:53:50 PM
Rob Collins' entry accepted. 11 days left!
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Silverfish on January 21, 2017, 11:34:27 AM
botomatic's second entry accepted.
10 days and 10 spots left!
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Silverfish on January 23, 2017, 04:35:17 PM
Ok, much as I don't like multi-posting, it's warranted here. :P
Rob's second entry accepted, botomatic's first entry's major update has been used, and tashic's entry has been accepted.
TGM sent a minor update, but it violates IRL. As far as I'm concerned, I'll use the old one unless he updates this.
8 days left!
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Silverfish on January 23, 2017, 05:10:32 PM
Dreamcast's entry accepted...
7 spots remain!
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Silverfish on January 27, 2017, 09:56:52 PM
090901's entry accepted.
6 spots and 4 days remain!
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups
Post by: Silverfish on January 31, 2017, 05:23:03 PM
Asbestosstar's entry received, but it crashes my RA2 due (presumably) to texture packs.
This is the LAST DAY FOR ENTRY! NO EXCEPTIONS!

What if I don't fix my entry in time? But give it to you before the splash?

As dumb as it is (and it has been revealed that TGM's old entry is unusable, too) I'd have to disqualify you. But I doubt it will come to that. :P
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups CLOSED
Post by: Silverfish on February 01, 2017, 03:52:46 PM
Signups are now CLOSED. Asbestosstar and TGM have one day to fix their entries before getting DQed.
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups CLOSED
Post by: Silverfish on February 02, 2017, 04:13:33 PM
TGM Disqualified, Asbestosstar fixed part, but didn't fix the other.
He has 1 day.
And it's because his bot is 1.2 kgs overweight. I just died inside.

Post by: Silverfish on February 03, 2017, 04:09:40 PM
Asbestosstar fixed his entry. Talk about sliding under the door!
Anyway, I (hopefully) will get this started monday!
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups CLOSED
Post by: Silverfish on February 04, 2017, 10:23:53 AM
Ok. An interesting problem: I technically have closed signups, but haven't made the splash. Mechadino sent his entry today. So...
I don't know whether to accept. I've been told it would be okay if I did, but I want your guys' opinion. So then, I've made a poll. You have one day to vote on whether I should accept mecha, before I make the splash tomorrow. If it's a tie, I'll accept. So go forth!

I definitely see no irony is complaining about IRL and calling it cancer then going ahead and entering an IRL tournament and becoming apart of the cancer  :really_makes_you_think:

My entry is a semi-poorly made tombstone clone named "every irl bot ever". It's a joke. I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at here.

we are ALL cancer on this blessed day

also I can't exactly judge if an entry is IRL or not if we don't see the entry itself :dumb)
Title: Re: The Zone: Signups CLOSED
Post by: Silverfish on February 05, 2017, 04:12:48 PM
As per the forum's request, Mechadino's entry accepted.
Hopefully, splash will be up sometime this week!
