Trios of Terror II - Signups Closed

[Badger]

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.

[Gauche Suede]

But wouldn't the sns be counted out?

Not when the opponent's actively ramming itself towards the SnS.

pretty much all .pys have some setting for when to stop spinning

*Special Thanks for Thrackerzod for giving me the idea for this.

GENERAL RULES:
- Stock, DSL 2.2, and Ironforge MW
- 8 Teams will compete
- 3 Bots per team, one per game (See Team rules)
- I'm willing to AI if you are not able to, but don't complain what I AI'd your bot
- Custom .pys are allowed, but I will not allow AI with melty brain tactics
- You cannot enter unless your bots are received and accepted.
- I myself will not enter unless there is an open spot when signups close.


TEAM RULES:
- Three robots per team
- 1 bot in Stock, DSL 2.2 and Ironforge each
- 1 person can 3 bots for a team, 2 people can send 1 bot and 2 bots respectively for their team, or 3 people can send one bot each for their 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.
- Please specify if you are going to be in a team with someone.


BUILDING RULES:
- Middleweight bots only
- You cannot use BFE, AAM, Hax, .txt file editing, etc.
- Smart Zones will not count toward weight, but you cannot use them to act as a ballast (I will be using Mad's Smart zones for this).
- Crawlers are banned.
- 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.
- I will allow bots that are the best of your ability, so Jokebots, replicas, IRL style bots, etc. are allowed, but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't want to being laughed at.
- You can only send an update to a bot once and only once.  No exceptions.

Multibot Rules:
There will be some special portion for multibots if you wish to enter them. Here's how it works folks:

• The maximum number of multibots allowed is 2.
• Both bots must stay within the weight limit.
• Bots can weigh differently as long it does not go over the weight limit.
• Both bots must defeated by KO, TKO, WBP, or a Forfeit to move on.

SPECIFIC RULES:
All of the above rules meet here, but these are the restrictions for the metagames.
Stock:
- General Stock 1.4 rules apply
- Weightclass: 249.1 - 399.0 kg
- The only cheatbot2 part allowed is the flamethrower.
- AI parts are allowed, including the 140 cm extender.
- The only custom components that are allowed are from 090901's and/or Sage's Skin Pack.

DSL:
- Standard building rules apply
- No cheatbot2 parts at all.
- Weightclass 249.1 - 399.0 kg

Ironforge
- Standard building rules apply
- No cheatbot2 parts at all.
- Weightclass 90.1 - 200 kg
- You can use up to four ballasts without it affecting your weight.


BATTLE RULES:
- 1 vs 1 match format
- 2 minute length matches
- Best 2 out of 3
- Double Elimination Bracket
- Ring Arena (Reskinned)
- If a robot havoks once, costing the match that bot who caused it gets a free restart, If it happens again, that bot who caused it will be disqualified
- Judging will determined by the damage points at the end of the match


Restart Rules:
More than one of the below criteria can happen 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:


-Havok Restart: The bot does a Havok Explosion which costs the match for it's opponent.
-Second Chance Restart: If the loss was from being pinned, (i.e. getting stuck for a reason) But I will only restart if:

• A)It has controlled movement.
• B)It has enough battery life for it to actually matter.
• C)The control board warning is not is on yellow or below.

If none of the above is met, then the first match will be the final result of the match.

My (Possible) Entries:

This will also be the splash format:

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?

This is now a signups topic and the rules quoted may not change. You've got 9 months, enjoy :)

Thanks yugi.  And with that said,

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 copyriht strike on my channel.  Everything else is fine.

[Badger]

If anyone needs an ironforge guy, I'm right over here.

[Silverfish]

If anyone needs an ironforge guy, I'm right over here.

okay, badger and i are a team(we had a short discussion). We still need a dsl builder.

[Fracture]

Can there be a list in the first post for incomplete teams or something?

I can build Stock, possibly a bad Ironforge mess

[RedAce]

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.

And thanks for the suggestions by the way.

[Thrackerzod]

I'm working on a complete team.  DSL is my worst mod, so I'm hitting a bit of a stumbling block there, but I'll get something to you eventually.

Super hyped for this!

[The Red Blur]

Anyone wanna form a team? I just cant build in stock, other than that, I'm a'ight.

[Gauche Suede]

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.

Couldve put it a bit less bluntly.

[RedAce]

I have received a full trio from Thrackerzod.  It is accepted.  Will AI soon.

[RedAce]

I have also recieved a full trio from DeadGenocide.  His Ironforge entry needs to be fixed as the weapon is clipping through a battery.  Everything else is fine.

Edit:  DeadGenocide has now sent me a fixed version.  It is now accepted.

Edit2: I also have recieved bots from Sircreepalot2 and Squirrel_Monkey.  I will check them soon.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Sent in one new bot, one tweaked bot and one bot I found lying about.

[RedAce]

I have also Received Bobyasianboy's and Mr. AS's Entries.

jesus i am behind

[RedAce]

I have also received Geice's entries.

And I forgot to mention that all of the entries thus far I have are accepted.

Edit: I have received a bot from Silverfish, but he is waiting on his teammate(s).
