IIRC none of the Hammerfall writers had written for ARC before, unless Josh was a writer for Hammerfall (I forget if he was). Either way, we don't normally use random chance to decide legitimate fights. |

week 2 was not a mistake because I didnt write that match with him getting stuck on his back, and neither brad nor i are saying he should have been stuck on his back. He can easily get stuck on his SIDES because he has flat sides and his lifter doesn't extend outside of the sides of his robot. Edited by The_Angry_Goat, Apr 19 2016, 01:29 AM.

I was reading the RP thread (because I like to see how people are planning their fights, including my opponents after I've written my RPs for my fights), and noticed this:
Oh Geeze I'm Terribly Sorry I didn't Mean to Flip Your Robot Over's flipper has only 3 power, and does not qualify for an active weapons bonus, so it still just has 11 armor. |

Two robots in the finals! I'm incredibly uncertain about Sling Shot's chances against Loud Love (especially considering last time) but I feel reasonably confident I can take Vorpal Bunny again. We'll have to see I guess. |

All right, time for the finals! In the hobbyweights, Buzzkill's vertical spinner will fight Do Not Open's wedge for the championship, while Sirocco and Panda go for third place. In the featherweights, we actually have two group stage rematches: Rebellious Activity's lifter vs. Vorpal Bunny's spinning bar in the final, and Oh Geeze's flipper vs. Feathergo's vertical spinner for third place. In the sportsman class, we have... even more rematches! Sling Shot vs. Loud Love for the final, and Tormentor vs. The Horney One for third place! We also have the second rumble for each weight class. In the hobbyweights we have Annoying Wasp, Panda, Pro, and also all the spinners that didn't make the playoffs despite showing up for matches. In the featherweights, we have Sister Sledge and a whole bunch of spinners. Seriously, that's a lot of spinners. I guess there were five in the hobbyweight rumble last week too, but Blood Blister disappeared so I'm not sure if it counts. In the sportsmans, we have, umm... one crusher, two flippers, one lifter, Edited by Hooray For Lexan, Apr 25 2016, 01:50 PM.

#LOWARMORBOYZ And yeah, good match. I honestly thought I was going to get stuck on the wall or OOTAed. I'm fighting Rebellious Activity again though, so that may still happen. |

I have no idea what you're talking about. Feathergo is a vertical spinner and I have never said otherwise. *surreptitiously edits post* |

What just appeared in my hands?
|
Man, I was nervous about DNO's fight (2nd place btw, not just a rumble winner). That really could have gone either way. At any rate, that was my first time reaching the finals on ARC. Good fight Gabe, Buzzkill is a worthy machine. ...however, I want to say that I suspect neither of our RPs were read. Or least, mine sure wasn't. See, some of us were some suspicious that a certain writer was not reading the RPs, so I decided to test it for myself. Ever heard of a word trap? Dolphin was not found anywhere in the result for this fight. It's safe to say the writer of this fight failed the test. You know what, why am I being ambiguous with my wording, anyone can go look up who wrote this. TNS, I'm calling you out on not reading my RP. |

A couple other things: * Dem rumbles: Spinnerfest2016. * Dat featherweight final. Honestly I didn't think I was going to be able to pull that off, but I guess VB finally got the lucky side hit it was trying to go for all of the first match with RA. Good fight. * Dat sportsman final. Sling Shot and Loud Love have been some of the coolest, craziest bots this tournament, and I felt they both deserved a close, but spectacular end to the final match. And yeah, Sling Shot really is OOTA-capable from the middle of the arena. A flipper with a power of 9 is scary when the arena is only 24 ft wide. As for my bots... well, Bonk! did decently, which is about what I expected. It was mostly there to fill out the roster. Vorpal Bunny was INSANE. Honestly I though the impractical spinner with the overpowered weapon would win a couple fights, then live up to its name by going down in a blaze of glory against a bot with a holy hand grenade. And Ahlspiess... was a massive disappointment. I though a spearbot would have a field day in Sportsmans since everyone would be worrying about hammers and saws and up-armor the tops of their bots. As it turns out, there wasn't much armor in the class at all, but Ahlspiess did almost nothing all event in part because of its mediocre drivetrain and in part because it got matched up against either robots that were an awkward shape for stabbing, or the ONE ROBOT IN THE COMPETITION that could kill it in a few hits through the top cover. I might still enter it next year though, because TBH I want to see a spearbot be successful, and it just ain't happening in open with all the wedges and spinners. |

I'd like to know why I stupidly charged at him and risked OOTA'ing myself like that when I said in my RP to stay near the walls more, especially since at that point I pretty much had the match in the bag. Nothing against Badnik, Sling Shot's a great design. But that's really not the way I'd have preferred to lose. I just don't get it. Was it purely for shock value? |
