Great to see Torque Dirty 2 Me/Salamandra and Uridium did well in their fights, too! Got the KO I was hoping for in the Team Battle, and got a rather good dominant performance in the SHW fight- against a bot I thought would muller me going into it, as well. So yup, looks like this week went much better than the first one overall, very happy about that.

Now, who's next? :P

Goddamnit, never even got a good hit off on Seadevil. I should've just rammed his ass and gone for followup hits while he was flailing around.

It's a shame, this was probably the fight I was most looking forward to in this group, but the Woodshed wasn't exactly the best arena for a spinner vs. spinner battle.

Meanwhile, inb4 Scylla and Firebird fail at life again. They seem to be getting the worst matchups in the early weeks.

Yeah mang. I was dreading that arena too for this matchup, and you've definitely had some rough draws for your lighter bots in the early rounds. Hopefully they can bounce back.

In other news, BrianTheAmerican asked for an extension and was granted one, so his late RPs will be counted, so long as they're in sometime tonight.

OK, that's my Team Battle RPs up. Little bit doubtful about the LW one, but I really hope we can pull off the FW title, here.

GF93 Just so you know, its a 2v2 Tag Team battle, meaning your teammate has to tag you in for you to get out into the fight. All bots can fight after 2 minutes, but for that first while theres only one bot (or cluster) from each team active.

Quote:
 
Format
Tag-team fights will be three minutes in length, as with standard fights. One team will start from the gold square and the other from the purple square. Active bots have free reign of the arena, while inactive bots are allowed to activate weaponry systems, but must remain in contact with their starting square at all times unless tagged in. When this happens, they become active and their teammate becomes inactive. For the first two minutes, only one bot per team will be considered 'active' at any given time except during changeovers. During the final minute, all bots will be considered 'active'.

OK, fixed. I now have strategies for both.

EDIT: Although, I have to raise issue with this bit in Monsterworks' strategy-
Quote:
 
Otherwise, if TD2M exposes its back to Howler at any point, I will jump from my square and sneak attack it where it only has 8 armour. With any luck, that’ll be the end of TD2M. At the very least, it should be badly damaged, giving Gabe the decisive advantage. I’ll then return to my square like a good, chastised little murder machine.

-I'm pretty sure this isn't allowed. Leaving the square solely for the purpose of jumping an opponent from behind without actually tagging in is a violation of the "Always 1-against-1 and no 2-against-1 scenarios outside of the last minute" rule described above.

Okay, so a couple of issues have presented themselves here, and I'll attempt to address them:

1) Alex, dude, you've been doing this long enough to know that you can't edit your RPs after posting them, even if it's to address a mistake like the one that you made. That is and has always been considered illegal. If you're not 100% sure, brush up on the rules at the top of the tag team thread beforehand.

2) So, apparently, you've found my strategy 'against the rules.' However, I'd like to point you to the section entitled 'jumping':

Jumping
Jumping is when an inactive leaves its team's square outside of a changeover period. Each team is allowed a cumulative total of three 'jumps' during a fight. A jump is a ten second grace period in which the inactive bot will be allowed to behave as if it is active. However, it will not be able to use this to tag itself in. Jumps should generally be saved for changeovers that don't quite go according to plan. Willfully jumping is a very risky strategy, as, upon the third jump, the offending bot will be immediately disqualified and remotely deactivated wherever it stands.

That is what I was doing there and even labelled it as such. It was in no way illegal. Again, reading the rules, especially with an unfamiliar format, is important, especially before leveling accusations of cheating at your opponent.

3) Ultimately, this fight involved one of my bots, so I'm not a neutral party. As a result, even though I'm the TO, I'm going to hand decisionmaking power in this case to the co-directors and senior staff listed on the signup page in order of precedence.

Wins: a bunch
Losses: more every week!
