Introducing /r/Battlebots Hammerfall

Hey guys.

So I completely forgot about this forum many, MANY years ago. I figured that CFRC was dead. Because of my assumptions, I decided to ask reddit.com/r/battlebots if they would be down for a Custom Fantasy Robot Tournament. From the replies I have seen, it seems as if many people would be interested in this tournament.

I am using the rules that CFRC uses to put on their tournaments, and I am "hiring" my own set of writers.

Here is the link to sign up: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlebots/comments/3doft0/rbattlebots_hammerfall_official_signups/

Please note: I still need TWO writers. If you would like to participate as a writer in my Reddit Battlebots tournament, please let me know ASAP. I already have two people but I'd love to have a few seasoned ARC veterans writing fights as well.


Again, I have no idea if this will take off, but I would love if you could help write fights or participate in the tournament.

I'll look into it, but I'm concentrating on Ruination: The Contagion as well so I don't think I'll be able to be a writer.

Nice to see the effort, though! :cool: I also like how you adopted my multi-weapon rule even though I just made it for Ruination, lol. I have no idea if it'll work.

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.

I'm liking your bot. Should be a front runner of all the ones entered so far.

Thanks man. I appreciate the warm welcome back. I've been a bit of a journeyman for the past few years but I hope to be back for good now. I cannot wait to see your design!

Oh snap, this tourney just got serious with an old school baller such as you entering. I'm excited.

I just hope the writers I picked are good. Thats the only wildcard I'm concerned about right now.

I think you might be surprised how well taking a flyer on someone can turn out. Nick S. (Spatula) made the eyebrow raising decision to put playzooki on staff for Robot Bastards and by all accounts that actually worked out pretty well.


Oh yeah, and my entry's up.

Okay, just moving the thread here. It may not be an ARC tournament in the strict sense, but it since Production Studio is mostly used for housing old Results/Sign-up threads, this felt more appropriate.

Thanks for moving this here. I was just sent a question from a user about stats, I since ya'll are much more seasoned than I am on clarification of stat allocation, I figured I'd post it here in hopes that you guys could explain it a bit better:

Quote:
 
I'm not sure I understand the damage rules.

0-4 – If a robot’s weapon power is this many points above its weapon armor, there will be little to no effect on the weapon’s performance throughout the fight. No self-KO chance.

5 – If the weapon power is 5 points above the weapon armor, the weapon will begin showing signs of fatigue, taking longer to spin up toward the end of the match. No self-KO chance.

If I have a bot with Weapon: 10 and Armour: 5, it will go under 5 and take some fatigue or whatever. Is the 0-4 text correct? Should it be the other way around: "If a robot’s weapon armor is this many points above its weapon power"? And is the 7 for 7+?


Thanks so much for participating and giving insight! I appreciate it!

May enter this, but given my FF rate i wonder if it is actually worthy, well at least it's 1 RP rather than 4, then again, i don't even have a design idea for this to begin with

As soon as I mention my writers, two of them quit haha. Thankfully we have plenty of time to find replacements.

Is that a bad thing?Many users havent done this before so stats may be a bit weird, but I still think it's awesome. I think it'll let people know what they did wrong and improve for next time. Hopefully those users will come here for future tournaments.
