Definitely. And btw, you overachiever, the RPs are 500 characters without spaces

literally the fight card

 

The strategy section must be 500 characters without spaces.

(PS. A message to the writers- since I've gone to the trouble of making an assbot whose main purpose is to be trashed, I'd appreciate it if Trump ex Machina is destroyed as violently and entertainingly as possible to avoid the rather anti-climactic "Deception wins in 30 seconds and two lines" thing that happened last time. Thanks!)

I wrote that last result and I don't see anything wrong with it.

Have to say though, I am looking forward to fighting it with my own multibots. Apathy, Lethargy, Ball Lightning and Blue Thunder, you've pretty much got a mini-rumble going on, there.

• Why did the Frogbot match have me drive straight into the spinning bar of Pooky to get obliterated when my RP clearly said I'd only approach it from the rear?
  
• Why did Water Strider have a weapon-to-weapon collision with BRVR when I said Water Strider was going to be running upside down to hit the top of BRVR?
  
• Why should I bother writing a strategy if it's going to be ignored?

Anyways, well played Drew, Botomatic, and Dylan.

Disappointed by Initial D vs Sucker Punch. I agree with Initial D victory, this could easily go both ways, but when a writer starts to argue about "it doesn't really work that way" right in result, it really pisses me off. What's making it worse is that the same writer never bothered to read the second half of my RP. Seriously, it's 400 characters, how can you justify not reading it?

I didn't even write this match, but I seriously want to know how on earth you'd only approach him from the rear lol. This is also going hand in hand with the fact that, uhh, if you never approached him at all (in the situation that you could never get to the rear) you would lose because of your lack of aggression.

See, with a normal bot, I understand where he's coming from. But Frogbot isn't your ordinary bot. Alex, I'm not targeting you, but I think it goes to show that it might be a problem with some RPers I the strategy isn't clear enough, or with some of the writers where they might miss something, or misjudge a design (I've been there, done that too). I believe he was talking about approaching Pooky from the rear by hooking it on the rear with its giant 4 foot flipper sticking out of the robot Perhaps by looking at a design, either person (RPer or writer) could be at fault here. I'm not arguing whether the result was correct or not, but I do believe that there needs to be some clarification here between RPers and writers. We've got unhappy people all over this thread
