Just to let you know, I did that (adding the section on what to do if Xerxes came out first) solely for the purpose of correcting it on Hiicantpk's recommendation due to the fact I hadn't done it properly- and the amendments were finished before you uploaded your strategy, so no debunking was involved. Yours wasn't there by the time I was done, and if it had been there before I started, I wouldn't have done anything. But yeah, considering the rule mentioned there, I just found it questionable, rather than an outright accusation of cheating- and if it came off that way, I apologise. |

Come on, that shit doesn't fly. You can't edit your RP for any reason after you submit it. That's not allowed unless the writing staff/mod team give you the say-so... which they won't here. So yeah, your ass should be DQ'd for that and that's my standing. You've been here for how many years now? You know better than this. And really, the way you worded it was vague enough to where it was pretty much an accusation of cheating without outright calling him one. You also know better than this, and so do we. |

Fair enough. I can understand why you wouldn't edit it when your opponent's RP is there, but if you check the records of when mine was edited (again, predominantly for the purpose of correcting the format from an "all-at-once" fight to a 1v1 one to coincide with the rules) and when MW uploaded his RP, it was finished a considerable amount of time before he uploaded his. I can say, hand-on-heart, that I wasn't trying to cheat, and nor would I want to. There's no point in competing if it ends up being rigged in anyone's favour, including my own. If it is worth the disqualification though, then I'll respectfully accept that and be held accountable. All I can do is apologise to both Monsterworks for jumping to conclusions and making blind accusations like I did, and especially to Dylan, who's been such a good partner and didn't deserve to lose out on a title this way. I'm truly sorry I let you both down. |

Even if the FW Tag Team Final went ahead, I suppose I should've guessed. I always lose at the final hurdle. On the plus side though, got the other FW win, so that helps. |

3-0 this week, albeit one of those wins was from simply playing arena hazard. Glad to see my LW/FW bots having more success than the rest of my team |

Oh boy... I've been waiting to do this for like two months. Time to announce YOU DIED's configuration for this week... "Wait, what's that?" "I don't know what that is, Chris!" "Oh!" "Up there!" "That's on top of the - of the movie screen! That's about fifteen stories in the air, Kenny! LOOK AT THAT! THAT'S THE WALL!" "Maybe the wall will JAM UP Viluy II from the top of the movie screen, Chris!" (NFX from the driver's booth) "Hey Wall! You want some, come get some! That's The Wall up there brother!"

@HotDealsInTexas, I lol'd Also, where are the fights you're writing!!! >:(@GF93, I'm honestly really pleased with Howler's performance so far. I knew that it would be dangerous, but the nature of its shape is going to make it a genuine pain in the ass for most bricks with armour bonuses to handle, as shown in that Tag Team fight. Condolences on the loss. You may be right that you suffer from a bit of an Andy Murray syndrome. That aside, you're up to 7-3 in CBC now and all of your bots have a legitimate chance of making the playoffs. I might even say that a couple are virtually shoe-ins. @Hiicantpk, the OCD in me loves the mirror-image symmetry in your bots' records. At least it means that you're back at .500 after a rough start. I would honestly be really surprised if you didn't get at least two bots into the playoffs. @The_Angry_Goat, teamwork at its best, dude. Also, welcome to Trump's America... |

Yeah. I thought honestly that we'd have lasted longer, but I suppose the big arena giving Howler lots of time to spin up would have helped a lot in that regard, so it'll definitely be interesting to see how the inevitable rematch with TD2M goes. Credit where it's due though, beating two machines like that single-handedly is certainly no mean feat! But yes, I think that's the thing with my career on ARC- often getting close to winning, but only very rarely going all the way compared to guys like say, Kody or Josh. "Always a bridesmaid, never the Bride" would be a good term to describe it with. That being said though, it was good to see Spy vs. Spy pull off the other win this week (and just about avoiding getting spread evenly over a wide area in the Tag Team match like I assumed they would be), all my bots are contenders, and the record's indeed pretty good so far. If I can keep that sort of performance up over the next few weeks, then hopefully I can attain my 300th win fairly soon.

Well, best of luck! That's going to be some really stiff competition. In any event, placing high in enough of the rumbles is still to your benefit, because if anybody has more than one bot qualify for One Bot to Rule them All, they'll have to chose one, and the second place bot from the other's rumble gets to take its place. You have some tough matchups this week, but some of your RPs looked really good. I've lucked out a bit and have a fairly easy week (though there's one dicey matchup). I'm looking forward to see how it all pans out. |

Thanks, you too! With some of the guys this week, I wanted to take more of an "out-of-the-box" approach to fighting them seeing as they're designs that I don't fight very often- a sawblade/dustpan and a deathspinner with a minibot, for instance. So hopefully, that'll pay off for me with some luck. As for the rumbles, that's a good sign! If I can put in a good showing in general, try to survive until the end and take at least second in the Brick Brutality, then that could well give me two potential chances to get back in for the final melee, seeing as Terminal Velocity Classic also got second in the Flipper Frenzy. But yup, hopefully it works out. |
