I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

2-1, I like that. We get to see how Force Majeure does this week, and hopefully Jesus can rebound from a loss to Annoying Wedge Wedge.

2-2... the dice giveth and the dice taketh away. It's hard to comment on how they went knowing how they're decided. If it was ARC, I think Dandelioness vs. Tesla's Revenge would have been a bit closer, but still might have lost. Warper would need to get under Sunshine every single time because the first time Sunshine got under Warper, Chris would say "Drumflip, Warper go BOOM! 4TW"... maybe a little more elegantly than that, but essentially that. Dogpounder vs. the 4-part multi-bot I think would have gone almost exactly like that. Amoeba would have struggled more against Hector, but still may have been able to pull it off. I guess I must have cast an Elfin "smacked by own smack talk" spell on Josh before the match. Nice writeup including that, Chris.

For future matches, if we want to use the hazards on our opponent, how do we include that in our RP strategies?

I'd be curious to see how Amoeba would actually be able to push Hector around anywhere with it's rather small spikes, but it's cool.

Oh shit, Alex RP'ed drunk... so glad I'm not fighting him this week.

Hey, these aren't cookies, they're Amoeba's cake wheels! You bastards! Ok, the wheels were made from Oreos, which ARE cookies, but still...

Really sorry for the delay this week...results should be up in a few hours or so...you'll have to be a bit patient with me this season since it's not easy running a tournament this size basically by yourself. Josh helped out a few days ago, which helped make things go a bit more smoothly, but it's still a bit tedious.

Also, as a forewarning to some - there will be a few lopsided results this week simply because I think some understand the system better than others. For instance, I understand why some of you may want to "maneuver" to avoid an opponent's front or whatnot. May have been very plausible in CFL-style RPing. However, in RoS, MANEUVER is nothing more than a stat - as it's your maneuverability vs. your opponent's maneuverability. If you have a maneuverability of 1 or 2 and your opponent has a maneuverability of 9 or 10, and maneuvering is your only strategy, you are fucked.

If you have any questions as far what your stat will be vs. your opponent's for any given dice battle, refer to the Role Playing Guide PDF.

Also, I think a few of you are over-thinking the clarifications section. Josh is a lazy asshole who only clicks 2 buttons when he submits his RP :proud: , but he doesn't need to do much more than that (considering the simplicity of his bots). You don't need to write "I will stay away from the Pulverizers and go at him with the wedge." You've literally said this by selecting "DEFENSE - PULVERIZERS" and selecting strategy "WEDGE - Go at robot's front". Here's an example this week from Marti, which is how to use it correctly: "Clarifications: Apply this order only when not inverted. When inverted, Strategy 1 is to be ignored, and Strategy 4 gets priority over Strategy 3." Or the way playzooki submits his is fine - here's one of his: "Clarifications: 1 until it stops working, 2 until it stops working, repeat."

Just wanted to give you a heads up so we all understand. One of things I want to do for the next tourney is to implement much more strategic elements to the game (and there might be some new elements coming mid-season!).

Thanks. Let it rain steel all season long.

This is dead accurate. Of course I suppose my week 1 record reflects the trappings of this. I don't doubt I'll be around bottom of the barrel overall by the end of the season. :D
