Title: Vote for my Next Tournament
Post by: Preytor_4 on May 28, 2012, 04:05:06 PM: That's right, the King of Gimmicks is back!

Now that my ban is over and I've had ideas brewing in my mind, I've decided to get back into hosting. Alas, I'm at a loss for which I should host, so you guys are going to decide, and the choices are:

Tetris - Type RA2
A normal tournament, except that each bot will have a chassis shaped like a Tetris block. DSL or Stock, not sure yet on which weightclass.

We Are Assassins
Also a normal tournament, disregarding the fact that all bots' main weapon type will be pistons. DSL or Stock, probably MW, not sure yet though.

7 Deadly Sins
Each bot entered will conform to certain restrictions to each of the sins, there will be atleast 2 of each bot sin. DSL, HW.

Wedge War 2
All bots will be wedged. Stock, most likely HW.

Steel Warzone 2
Unrealistic DSL, HW or MW.

Lego Robot Wars Replica Wars 2
Bots will be replicas of the Lego bots from the 'Lego Robot Wars' series. DSL, 650 KG as a maximum.

All above rules and guidelines are subject to change.

We Are Assassins doesn't sound bad either.

Post by: NFX on May 29, 2012, 02:53:29 PM: Tetris seems a bit redundant, most chassis are brick-shaped anyway.
We Are Assassins could be interesting, depending on how restrictive it is on other weapon types.
7 Deadly Sins could work, I get the feeling some entrants will be at an immediate disadvantage because of the restrictions.
Wedge War rather overlooks different aspects of bot design. Plus I can't build good wedges for some reason.
Steel Warzone was quite a good tournament last time, but maybe make it MW next time to reduce lag.
LRWRW2, I'm just wondering if there's going to be a lack of artistic merit. Like IRL for those who can't really be bothered.

Steel Warzone 2 gets my vote.

Thank you. I'll probably close the poll sometime this weekend and then start another thread for the winning tourney.
