i have no idea. i think we wanted to get more side tournaments related to ARC but AI was a bit of a joke. now that you bring that bit up, i was thinking about OOTA's the other day, thinking that it was a cool way to encourage flippers, but ultimately for a fantasy league it ends up in the same realm as the pit. some kind of instant kill mechanism is just too much for the league. either we'd have to make OOTA's extremely difficult or not have them at all. |

Meh, I was never crazy about OOTA finishes in the same way I've never liked Pits. With OOTA, there's far too much subjectivity to how likely it is to occur. As a staff now, we all have our own diverse styles and limitations for bots, and it would just cause too many problems. |

No, but it's felt pretty damn close, and it came last season at the worst possible time: when ALL THREE of my fricken Post-season bots got bounced out. Law of averages, my ass. And I still think we shouldn't include AI:NAD.... a loud and whiny enough complaining beotch gets a result RE-FRICKEN-WRITTEN so that the win is handed to him, even when his RP sucked ass. |

hahaha you want to tell me about post-season losses? ARC: Reckoning was probably my best season ever, I think I was the first guy to break 30 wins in a season. Eurypterus goes undefeated, Force Feedback nearly does the same, two byes and Windmill. bam, exit stage right  At this point the only thing removing AI NAD would change is knocking ToC outta the top 10 lol |

Yeah, I was just so upset though because I think it was the first time since forever I got 3 bots to post-season.... I thought I would FINALLY have an ARC title, and I was having a blast visiting my woman in BC besides, and then.... fuck, and not the good kind. |

Yeah I know what that's like. I had 3 bots as the #1 seed last season, and two of them get tossed right away, and the other just squeaking by only to get made a fool out of in the finals. Hell I can barely hang my hat on Zombie Killer's championship since I pretty much owe that to Dylan FF'ing out with Underall. |

Here's a good look into what designs work: Champions as divided by design: Rammer (Zombie Killer, Tank, etc.) 16 Horizontal Spinner / FBS (Japanese School Girl, AMP etc.) 12 Lifter (Barrier, S.W.A.T, etc.) 7 Thwack (The Thwacking Head, Thwedge, etc.) 5 Clamper (Road Rage, Shockwave, etc.) 4 Vertical Spinner (Celestial Slayer, DeadStar, etc.) 3 Punchbot/Ramming-bar (Solar Smash, Force Feedback, etc.) 3 Flipper (Truth or Conseuqences, Taurus, etc.) 3 Hammer (Long Shot, Adrenaline, etc.) 1 Other (These are unclassifiable robots. Warper, Striker, and "Goodbye" etc.) 2 And these are Runners-up + Semi-finalists for comparison: Horizontal Spinner / FBS 24 Rammer 22 Lifter 11 Thwack 9 Flipper 8 Clamper 5 Other 5 Vertical Spinner 4 Punchbot/Ramming-bar 4 Hammer 4 |

I almost forgot to check this shit out. Maybe now that I officially have 13 titles, I'm finally unlucky? And it would also be nice if Solar Smash could win this season, so that my team has officially come full circle (since he won the first ever tourney) and then the last ever tourney. However, I completely understand if you guys would rather lop off my head than hand me another championship. |

no one's handing you anything if you want to go full circle you're going to have to go through everyone to get there

Bozenda was removed during Reckoning, Astrobot wasn't there for Revolution, Astrodude wasn't there for Redemption, Giguere (a previous award) was brought back in Reckoning, and Japanese School Girl was started in Reckoning. Toxic Hazard Award wasn't used from Reckoning onward, and the Underminer Award wasn't there for Revolution. Intergalactic Award also got removed from Reckoning onwards. There wasn't a Aftermath award, but at sometime I'll posthumously award it I suppose. |

The "Essayist" award is still a really dumb name. |

I think I'm part of the reason why we no longer use the Toxic Hazard award... Or the "Sucks to be you" award as it was called in the past... After winning it 3 seasons in a row I think I blew a short fuse. |

haha, kinda. When we were looking at awards to be changed we felt like the "sucks to be you" factor belittled the rest of the awards, and obviously no one wanted it.
Just because you've never won it...  I do like the name myself (I came up with it lol), but I'm fairly curious as to what else you'd call it. The penmanship award? lol I myself never cared for the Japanese School Girl Award since it's a bit of a mouthful and sounds pretty dumb, like we're awarding the prettiest Japanese school girl. I would still it rather have been the AMP Award, especially considering AMP does hold the record for most knockouts at 18. |

Kiss my ass Alex. Like I need reminding that I'm apparently consistently in the lower-tier of RP'ers.  Seriously though, I think it's more to do with the implications of the name. Essayist would seem to imply that people who write novel-length RP's are favored to win it, regardless of content. I would have said something along the lines of "strategist award", but whatever. |
