Restart Rules:Just thought I'd point out a typo :P
More than one of the below criteria can happnen and not penalize you. If once, that bot gets a Free Restart. If Twice, that bot will forfiet the match if any of the folling criteria occurs:
Because RA3 is coming soon, and if that turns out to be good for use to essentially abandon RA2, then this will be my last tournament for this game. So I'll have this go out with the three major mods that have different meta-games out there (sorry AS).You can't do a tournament in a mod that isn't out yet.
can 3 bots for a teamI think you meant "can send 3 bots"
another bot in a different weightclassI think you meant mod/version of the game
- though I don't really get the rules (isn't it just three separate tournaments?)Not really. It's all one giant team from the three major mods out there. It's best of three with one round dedicated to each mod. Round 1 would be Stock, round 2 would be DSL, and Round 3 would be Ironforge. If you won the rounds from say Stock or Ironforge, you would move on. I know, it's kinda complex and hard to explain.
I'm kinda meh about MW because of The Cauldron, but stock = count me in.EXCUSE ME MW IS THE BEST DAMN WEIGHTCLASS THAT HAS EVER EXIST
I would definitely be up for Stock and possibly Ironforge if I can learn it in time :P - though I don't really get the rules (isn't it just three separate tournaments?)Ironforge is basically like DSL 2.1
But wouldn't the sns be counted out?I think it just spins until the timer starts, then it moves forward when it starts to get counted out. They almost always get hit by then anyways.
But wouldn't the sns be counted out?Not when the opponent's actively ramming itself towards the SnS.

- SnS will not be AI'd with melty brain tactics.
- I will allow one wheel drive bots as long as it's a rammer. Any other 1WD style bot is banned.

-Havok Restart: The bot does a Havok Explosion which costs the match for it's opponent.

My (Possible) Entries:
tl;dr A tournament with a team with one Stock bot, DSL bot, and Ironforge bot. Builders may vary.
This will most likely be my last tournament for this game. So I'll have this go out with the three major mods that have different meta-games out there.
Thoughts, questions, or concerns?
If anyone needs an ironforge guy, I'm right over here.
Thanks yugi. And with that said,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czCYBkEvLrk&feature=youtu.be# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czCYBkEvLrk&feature=youtu.be#)
Signups are now open.
Remember, A full trio is required, but if you don't want to build a bot in one mod, then find someone who will to help you out.
A deadline will be a secret for now. Also, if you want to send a theme or a song suggestion for your trio, then go right ahead. The only restriction: No copyrighted songs (i.e. Songs from Artists like The Who, Linkin Park, Eminem, Skrillex, or whatever you kids listen to nowadays), because the last thing I need is a copyright strike on my channel. Everything else is fine.
Can there be a list in the first post for incomplete teams or something?Yeah, but I need some people to enter first that are in need of a team or waiting on their team first.
btw how do you make a video thumbnail appear in GTM ?You mean have a video embedded? remove the s in 'http' in the youtube video URL.
Anyone wanna form a team? I just cant build in stock, other than that, I'm a'ight.I'm really sorry to say this but no-one's gonna team up with you since your DSL/Ironforge bots aren't very good.
no offense meant, but... yesAnyone wanna form a team? I just cant build in stock, other than that, I'm a'ight.I'm really sorry to say this but no-one's gonna team up with you since your DSL/Ironforge bots aren't very good.

RedAce please extend the slots to 16 people, everyone wants to be in on this parting tourney to RA2As much as I'd love to do that, there's a he matter that the process will be much slower waiting for the second 8 trios to compete. Also...
the rules quoted may not change.And the limit I stuck with was 8. Sorry. I just can't extend the limit now.
3. Sircreepalot - XoXo ;D, yaaaas XDXD, ;D rawr XDwhat is this

Did anyone other than me actually try to have a team theme?
i would be willing to team up with a competent stock builder to provide DSL and maybe ironforge botsif redace would allow it, i could drop my dsl and/or IF bots to team up. both of them were rushed to get in within the 8 entry limit

only if you want of course
if redace would allow it, i could drop my dsl and/or IF bots to team up.Sure. I can allow it.
The no updates rule, can we update before signups end? I kinda rushed my DSL bot, and I want to re-skin it along with AI-ing both bots myself.Sure, but the catch is that you can update the bot once and only once. And I'd prefer you to update the bot before signups end since I'll be making splashes for the trios and whatnot when signups are done.
On the topic of updates, is it one update per person or one update per team?
- You can only send an update to a bot once and only once. No exceptions.
TEAM RULES:What does this rule mean? If I make 2 bots for a team, can I build bots for another team?
- If that one person is taken for just one bot, then he/she cannot build another bot in a different mod for another team.
It means if that if you are already on a team with someone, that means you can't join anyone else, even if it's for one extra bot for a mod you haven't already built for. So since you sent 2 bots for Silverfish, that means you can't go with anyone else.TEAM RULES:What does this rule mean? If I make 2 bots for a team, can I build bots for another team?

I apologize if I am not really describing this properly. I honestly can't think of any better wording for it. :dumb)how about..."Each user can only be on one team"???
Sent an entry for Stock, it can be seen in my showcase. Really want someone else to do the Ironforge/DSL bots, I don't care how bad you are. Also if you want a better bot I can just switch mine for some HS :PI'll do a DSL bot for you. Not that good at Ironforge thoughAnyone wanna form a team?

Yeah, that sounds much better. Too late unfortunately.I apologize if I am not really describing this properly. I honestly can't think of any better wording for it. :dumb)how about..."Each user can only be on one team"???
Sure thing, I can probably do a Ironforge box with spikes or something if it's needed, I've built one LW in it at leastSent an entry for Stock, it can be seen in my showcase.

In light of the recently-released "no rule of 7" thing, I'd like to ask that you do not use it while buildingSo don't think you can just sneak something like that in my tournament without being noticed.
Every thread getting updated with this new rule in it :P amazing to see this big success it caused.I probably would've allowed the tool to be used if I waited a bit, but because the rules set in stone can't change (at least not for a second change), I can't allow it.
Forgot to mention this, but I got a good chunk of the trios AI'd. I might take care of the rest I currently have tonight or tomorrow. I also have Kid_Krusher13's bot, who I assume is on Fracture's team based on the comments. They are still waiting on their Ironforge Builder to complete things.I want to apologize to Fractured now, as hes basically been stuck with GTMs version of a one man version of a less coherent Team Tiki.
Also, You have about two more days left to enter. If you still want to enter then do it quick. Or if waiting on your partner(s), then tell them to hurry up and send something.
No worries, my IF bot will probably be worseForgot to mention this, but I got a good chunk of the trios AI'd. I might take care of the rest I currently have tonight or tomorrow.

Is the deadline Wednesday night or Thursday night?
Deadline: 12:00 AM EST on May 26, 2016.But I guess in this case, it might as well be tomorrow. I mean, I guess I can extend it for another week if enough people are fine with that.
How we looking for team numbers? Is OP updated?I'm sorry, but could you be a tad more specific? Honestly, I can't tell exactly what you mean from how you worded it. I might be missing something obvious, but oh well. :dumb) The list thus as of now is updated to match what I currently have if that's what you're asking.
