No, I've already decided on my arenas. But I might not use a couple of them now, judging by both public response and my own delays... :(

Elaborated on some things in the sign-ups, namely the "no referencing other people's RPs" and "no being arrogant" rules. Please go and re-read them right now.

Sounds fair. Are we allowed to reference previous RP's, say "he used strategy x last time we fought so I will use strategy y to counter it this time"?

And how do you suppose I do that?

No really, do excuse me, but I am trying to bring at least something new into this. People will get bored of the same thing after a while. Your comments don't exactly help this.

I'm not sure what exactly is so difficult to understand about the arenas. There would be CAD drawings of them so I imagine that would be clear enough. And simple? Good grief, this isn't Bizzaro world. They're just arena's with different themes and different hazard layouts. Not really too complex.

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Sorry, but your ideas could be more simple. Using the RW arena is a good idea though.

No.

First off, although I like the Robot Wars arena very much, a pit hazard in CFL leagues is bullshit. I've been called out on it before myself for using one in my C&B: Hypothesis tournament some years before. There should not be an insta-kill hazard here. I'm even removing it from my own Battlegrounds arena, where previously it had one.

Second off, what's so complex about my ideas? Casino Night Zone is basically spinners and a slot machine, Lumina Cloth is a moat, and Land of Confusion is mostly conveyors. I seriously don't see the problem here.

Yeah I refuse to endorse or even participate in a tournament using the Pit hazard. No tournament I've been in that has had the Pit (basically the previously mentioned Crash & Burn and Ai:NAD) were really all that enjoyable, and I even won both of those! Pits are impossible to utilize decently in an ARC league. Most spinners will be screwed against anything with a wedge. Plus you can't really write an "accidential" pitting. No one would want to lose a fight in that fashion.

Exactly like I was saying. It's basically a chance to mix up the arena style instead of exclusively using the traditional Saw/Hammer/Drum arena.

Well, that sucks. I say keep it, but impose restrictions on how and when it can be used.

Oh. With that idea for OOTAing I'd come with, I'd have been happy to redesign it. No Pits though, of course. :v:

To be honest, I really don't care at this point. If you want to needlessly complain about arenas, we don't need the headaches.

No need to jump to conclusions like that, Kody. There may be another reason behind it, so I say hear him out- it might not be to do with the issue of Arenas.

Well it's a little suspect that I mention even one thing about arenas and he soon replies with "I might not enter". Wouldn't removing an arena, you know, actually make things 'simpler'? <_<

But if he doesn't want to enter, he doesn't want to enter. I can't and won't force him to enter, though I don't appreciate the empty arena complaints, but all the same I would like a decent amount of entrants. 10 is nice but I'd more aim for a multiple of 4. :P

12 or 16, though, in this day and age? :blink:
