In other news, I meant to write in the pursuit or a housebot and literally just forgot. Dammit.
Not to worry dude, there's always next time. I will say though, whenever I fight with TVC, there's a big chance I'll try attacking the House Robots with it at some point. :P

Sweet, looking forward to that. Nothing personal House Robot Operators, but I aim to flip at least one of these big mofoes over. :v:

If it's alright, I'd like another look at that MW fight with Hugh Mungus and Rainbow in the Dark- since it came off to me that Hugh Mungus only won because of what is essentially an act of god, a lot like Lyra somehow hitting Depth Charge's piston to break its flipper in the other competition. Hugh Mungus didn't have anything to keep ROTD on the wedge, and I really don't think it should have been allowed to just suddenly get something (with the strip of metal being torn up and acting as a stopper) and then one-shot it from there.

Like, I'm not trying to pick any fights or anything about it, but it comes off to me as very "deus ex machina", suddenly just giving him the precise design aspect he needed to win when normally he doesn't have it, he didn't mention it in his RP, and I wasn't aiming for the wedge at all. It just doesn't seem fair.

But nothing to keep me on it apart from a warped panel on an area I didn't even aim for. That's the problem.

So, my thoughts on it are this:

1) It was a bit of a deus ex in order to get the intended result.

2) It really isn't entirely outside of the realm of possibility or even extremely unlikely. Your weapon overhangs your bot's chassis, so when backing off, your weapon is going to hit its chassis.

3) I'm I'm going to be honest, your strategy of monstertrucking backwards would not have even worked in the first place had I been writing that fight. In order to not have your weapon hit something first and gyro or recoil, and even just to go straight over the top would have taken extreme precision that would have been very difficult to come by with both bots jockeying for position and RitD's fairly poor control ratio.

4) Suffering a OHKO just seems cheap and feels bad, but with 6 armour, you're 9 points below the house bot's weapon.

5) I'll be honest: if I had written the fight, I'd have given you one good pop where you managed to get over the top and I'd have made it competitive, but you're at a pretty serious type disadvantage and I don't think you'd have overcome him, especially with his sizable drive train advantage and the number of dangerous hazards in the arena.

6) If you just don't like the way it played out, I'm amenable to rewriting and changing that. However, I don't think that the result is at all unreasonable.

OK. I appreciate you taking the time to look into it, and I'd be happy to accept a rewrite, if that's OK. I suppose, it wasn't so much the loss itself as how I lost it that irked me- like, being on top for most of the match, and then that one thing happening and getting one-shotted.

But yeah- if it has to be a loss, I could see ROTD getting some damage in with the disc with some shots to the corners and sides over the course of the fight, but HM then doing something similar to TR2 and Terrorhurtz when they fought Carbide in the new Robot Wars- deliberately ramming into it to knock it off-balance and send it reeling with the power of its own weapon, before pitting it or immobilising it on hazard damage. Makes for an exciting match, and it keeps to both the RPs.
