Title: Two Tribes *Signups Closed*
Post by: Conraaa on June 11, 2012, 03:35:22 PM
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67687twotribes.png)

DSL HW
No AAM/BFE/Hax Mode/Performance Enhancing Drugs/Severe Gamma Radiation Exposure.
Arena is a modified Ring Arena with higher walls.
Realistic Rule Enabled.
Multibots Not Allowed.
SNS Banned. They can go play in traffic for all I care. SS are banned as well.
Initially, Matches are 1 minute each.
Each bot allowed one havok restart per match, after that they are removed from the match and lose one life (See below).
Bots can be upgraded right up until the deadline is reached.
No limit on entries. Everyone can enter one bot.
Narmour-Be-Gone enabled, so don't even try it.

Now, here is the fun part:
-After the deadline has passed and people have entered their robots, I shall pick two captains and two vice captains, the remaining participants shall be split into two "tribes". The captain's job is to the sort out their respective small armies into groups of two before each round starts. Everyone has the option to opt out of being a captain.
-Each team from one tribe shall then fight a team in the other tribe for a minute in a tag team match. If they get flipped out, or immobilized? They survive to fight another day. If they get eliminated via control board destruction? They then lose a "life".
-Each robot has two "lives" each. If they lose all of their lives then they are eliminated. Surviving robots after each round then get rearranged into new partnerships by the captains if need be, rinse and repeat. Each captain has 3 days to do this, if I don't hear from the cap'n in this time I shall then ask the Vice Captain for selections. If I still don't hear anything I shall randomize any teams in the tribe that have "orphaned" robots (Bots that have lost their teammate) for that round and find another captain/vice captain for the next round.
-If there are disproportionate numbers of surviving robots in the tribes (Example: 8 robots in one tribe and 10 robots in another), then the captains shall also choose which robots are to "sit out" if need be.
-If there are two consecutive rounds with no control board destruction the time limit shall be raised from 1 minute to 2 minutes. If this occurs again then the time limit shall be increased to 3 minutes. After yet another round, then OOTA's and Immobilisation's shall deduct one life from the respective robot.
Basically:
-1st round w/o immobilisation's: 1 Minute.
-2nd round w/o immobilisation's: 1 Minute.
-3rd round w/o immobilisation's: 2 Minutes.
-4th round w/o immobilisation's: 3 Minutes.
-5th round w/o immobilisation's: 3 Minutes, OOTA's and Immobilisation's minus one life each.

-A Tribe wins once it eliminates the other tribe fully.
-This shall be my entry:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35288screenshot_128.PNG)

Entrants:
-Conraaa: Opt Out of Captaincy
-Madman3: Considered for Vice Captain
-Enigma: Considered for Captain

Seems like an interesting idea. Kinda like the Team Championship series Vertigo ran. You're going to need a fairly active member to be a captain, though, although if they're specified rather than randomly chosen, that would help avoid a poor captain/vice captain being elected.
Title: Re: Two Tribes
Post by: Conraaa on June 11, 2012, 03:58:34 PM
Yeah I put that one in just to make sure I can pick active captains. I'll also make it so people can specify that they don't want to be captain. Which could mean we run into problems if no one takes the bullet.

potential captain says hi

And I nominate the Half Circle arena, it provides a fresh challenge and means each fight won't be a wedge war. And giant hammers FTW :D

Why ban Sheck Spinners?

It'll make you build something not OP for once.

Also I agree with ty, half circle arena is a massive bugger.
Title: Re: Two Tribes
Post by: Conraaa on June 12, 2012, 01:44:09 AM
Why ban Sheck Spinners?

Because it's not like SS are much better when it comes to not havoking in my experience.
Besides, why do I do if someone enters something like this?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62196elstree.PNG)
Technically it's a SNS, but it has a shell, so it's a SS...
I'm sorry, Urjak. But it means you'll have to make a robot that moves normally and not in a meltybrain fashion for once :P

Poll added. So I can gauge what type of arena is most popular. I'm personally for something open, like the Keznorg or BBEANS arenas.

And the arena most certainly won't be the Half Circle. If it didn't have the ramps then maybe. But massive opportunity for robots to get beached? No thanks.

Title: Re: Two Tribes
Post by: Conraaa on June 15, 2012, 01:05:06 PM
50/50 split? That doesn't help me!

And what would you guys think about a "Seeding" system? I'm not exactly sure how it'd work, it may involve me going through all the DSL tourneys in the past year, calculating a w/l ratio or something and the top 10 or so people would then randomly get split between the two teams as to make it a bit fairer.

Also, I may limit entries to one bot each instead of the originally proposed two, as it would almost certainly end up that people would end up on both teams. And it's hard to support someone if you're on both sides. :P
Title: Re: Two Tribes
Post by: Conraaa on June 16, 2012, 12:18:16 PM
Removed the poll, as it seemed to have died. Finished at 6/5 to an open arena.  Now suggestions for an open arena would be helpful.

And I still want opinions on a seeding system, any ideas on how it could work would be much appreciated.

Blade Arena: Considering
Elbite: Sides don't seem all that high, unless the pictures are deceiving. Like the Tesla Coil though.
Twiiisted Arena: You mean the BTTB Arena? Maybe, seems alright.

And S_M is right, the whole goal of this tourney is to KO your opponent and knock them out of the tourney. Not flip them out.

flipper flips bots out -> no cb destroyed -> repeat -> eventually oota = opponent loses life when oota'd
Title: Re: Two Tribes
Post by: Conraaa on June 16, 2012, 03:25:37 PM
True, that's why I like the idea of the Blade Arena, the blade in the middle stops people rushing, and it has higher sides.
Title: Re: Two Tribes
Post by: NFX on June 16, 2012, 03:39:24 PM
If we're having an open arena, I'd rather have the Blade Arena, yeah. But without the blade spinning. I don't like it when the outcome of a match is purely dictated by the hazards, one bot could be a hit away from victory, then the blade whacks it over the edge.
Title: Re: Two Tribes
Post by: SKBT on June 16, 2012, 03:49:41 PM
I'm all for the blade arena. (So I can enter a big VS and not have to worry about getting boxrushed oota)
Title: Re: Two Tribes
Post by: Conraaa on June 16, 2012, 03:59:26 PM
Now, I know i've already suggested the Blade Arena, but what about something like this? I know the sides a a tad too high but it still has oota capabilities.

Title: Re: Two Tribes
Post by: NFX on June 16, 2012, 04:09:26 PM
Now that looks quite cool. You could add a nondescript pole in the middle of the arena to prevent boxrushing, perhaps with some kind of statue on the top, like a razor tip or a mace.
Title: Re: Two Tribes
Post by: Conraaa on June 16, 2012, 04:13:40 PM
I would if I could but I have no idea. This was produced by me identifying what the edge was in the gmf and changing the number. I have no idea how to add to it.

If anyone with more Arena knowledge is willing to help then by all means, though.

But the way the start points are layed out, robots pretty much have to turn 45* to face an opposing robot, it would pretty much be the same in the blade arena.

And then people would complain about the gamebreaking blade when a bot gets hit by it and flung out. Plus if hazards are off, then what's the point?

Are spinners with tribars considered shell spinners?

Also, thwackers are SNS machines by definition. The Wiki page redirects SNS to Thwacker. SNS thwackers just have multiple weapons sticking out of them.

Post by: Conraaa on June 19, 2012, 01:47:08 AM
Like the one in your avatar? As far as i'm concerned that's a HS and that is A-ok by me.
A shell spinner is something that has a protective spinning "shell" around it that is the main cause of damage. Like Grog The Vengeful.

Alright, although Alien Warrior does sometimes cause Havok... Not my intent, but still...

Also, I took a look at Sort of Clone, and it's the exact definition of a shell spinner. I also noticed it's using the same power system for its shell as Alien Warrior's tribar.

Looks like I can scrap the Nightmare clone I built and build another Whyachi.

How's this?

Is it possible to AI this as a poker, and when it get's low on C02, a rammer

That's fine. But i'm not sure I can ai it that way. And it would be great if you stopped wiring all of your bots so left is right and vice versa.

I'm in and entering the new and improved Alien Warrior II, though just put me on whatever team has less people.

I'll also need my bot AI'd, and if you can, please AI it so that it will occasionally sit and spin for a second or so when near an opponent - it actually boosts the power of the weapon a bit.

What you need is FBS.py. this py lets you SnS while moving at the same time(Melty-Brain).It's on NAR AI.

I'll have to learn to AI first. I'm actually wanting to write my own AI scripts eventually, instead of just using pre-existing files

Also, I personally just use the technique to boost weapon power and spin up faster. The weapon stays at its boosted levels for about five seconds afterwards.

Accepted. Do you want to be considered to be a captain for a tribe?
Title: Re: Two Tribes *Signups Open!*
Post by: Phoenyx on June 20, 2012, 07:44:25 PM
It doesn't matter to me. If you only have one captain and no other requests than sure, but other than that just assign me to a team that's down one member.

Post by: Clickbeetle on June 21, 2012, 12:26:37 AM
The captain's job is to the sort out their respective small armies into groups of two before each round starts

I'm confused.  Say the captain has 8 bots A-H, would he split them up like this?
 
A+E
B+F
C+H
D+G
 
Then do the two bots from the same tribe fight each other one on one?  Or do random groups of two from each tribe all fight in a rumble?  Or a team match?  Or something else?
 
I might throw something in here even though I haven't built a regular DSL HW in ages, since you seem to be low on entries.  Perhaps Mother Lode, considering it's not bad against popups and SnS/SS are banned.

The captain puts the bots in his tribe into pairs, then the pairs are randomly assigned a pair of opponents from the other tribe, and they fight in a tag team match. I think that's the general gist of it.

In a nutshell, yep, that's the gist of it. Any surviving robots then move onto the next round, the captain rearranges the teams if need be, they fight again, rinse and repeat.

Ahh Warpig... I have been looking for an excuse to use you.

I have question though. If a large number of bots from one tribe survive, do the members of that tribe then fight each other, or are they all considered the winners?
Title: Re: Two Tribes *Signups Open!*
Post by: Conraaa on June 21, 2012, 03:37:41 PM
If there is a disproportionate number of robots, like 8 in Team A and 2 in Team B, the captain of Team 8 shall choose 6 robots to "Sit out" and choose one team of 2 to fight the two remaining bots in team B. I might do some random inter team battles just to ensure everyone gets a fight a round if they're still in or something. The robots that don't fight aren't considered "winners" as soon as there is a overwhelming majorty, as theoretically Team B could still pull it back and win.
Once a tribe has knocked the other team out completely, they are considered the winners. I am considering everyone on the winning tribe a winner.

I hope that makes sense.

There's no specific time given for the end of signups, it just says "on the 13th of July". It could be when he gets online, if could be midnight in whatever time zone he's in. I normally go by midnight the day before (00:00 on the deadline, in other words), just to err on the side of caution a little. But it's his decision when to close signups today.
