RUINATION: THE TEMPEST
(because I'm too uninspired to make a cool banner for the tournament sorry)
DEADLINE FOR ENTRY: August 21st, 2022
Banned robots
Flying robots
Hovercrafts
Clusterbots that don't have the same motivation in all their parts
Underall
Sign-up Info
- As of the deadline, 10 robots have been entered in each weight class (Lightweight, Middleweight, Heavyweight, Superheavyweight) and are assigned stats using 30 points per bot. Points are divvied up by 5 categories:
-Speed
-Traction
-Torque
-Armour
-Weapon Power
The battles will take place in a Round Robin style with playoffs afterward to determine the champion of each weight class.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Look, I know a lot of you all are busy, or just not feeling the robot itch as much as before. I sympathize, for I've felt the same way. Therefore, you are more than welcome to not enter a full team. In fact, if you want, you can enter one robot. Just be sure to count the number of entrants so far so you don't go over the max limit of 12. However, EVERY weight class must have the same number of robots by sign-up end. I don't want to have to account for 8 heavyweight robots and 12 lightweight robots. :P
Role Play Rules
- You'll be expected to follow proper role-play etiquette; no directly referencing others RPs, whether in your reply RP, or bringing it up in the discussion thread. If you don't trust the staff's bullshit detectors, don't play.
- As a follow up to this, absolutely NO being completely arrogant, either in your RPs or in the discussion thread (i.e. "I'll probably pwn this guy all over the place"). This also applies to public complaining about results. Okay, if you want to know why you didn't win, you're perfectly fine with posting about it in the discussion thread, as long as there is some good degree of reasonability to it (which the staff will determine, not you). But don't piss and shit all over the discussion thread or the Discord servers with "how the fuck did I lose to him, that's retarded" or similar comments. You will get suspended from the tournament for the next week, have any RP threads you put up be ignored/deleted, and automatically go 0-4 for that week.
- Be concise, but specific; you have a 400 word RP limit to work with. It will be a soft limit... and by soft, I mean that if you go over by what the writers determine is okay, then you're toast. :V
- Use proper grammar and spelling - this isn't college, but no one is going to read an RP written entirely in leetspeak or whatever the fuck it is you kids do these days.
- Do not spend too long talking about stats/design - RPs are your strategy. The writers here aren't stupid, they've been around for awhile and can see when a stat allocation is poor or a design simply won't work. Instead focus on what you plan to do during the fight.
- Fight cards will be posted on Sunday usually (as are results, mostly), and you will have one week to post your RPs. If the fight card is, for whatever reason, late, you will still have a full week to RP.
Guidelines
Ruination: The Tempest returns to following the official ARC ruleset, rather than going off of its own playbook.
See it here --> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ka3 ... _SAl_JtECk
Role play rules are briefly reiterated, just so you know. :V
Arena
Yes, you read that right. ArenA. As in, only one. No dumb gimmicky arenas this time around.
Only the tried and true Battlegrounds remains. Enclosed 48ft x 48ft square with 1 pulverizer in each corner (with 2 variants; pointy are in adjacent corners to blunt) and 2 sets of killsaws. No OOTAs.

Note #1: The tournament hosts and main writers reserve the right to modify a bot's individual stats based on discrepancies with the picture of the design. The hosts and main writers also have the right to reject any robot submission, stat allocation or design aspect that is considered to be unfair or exploiting the rules in any way.
Note #2: The staff for this tournament are as follows:
Lead Writers
- Kody Kunz (me)
- Josh Noel
Writing Staff
- Siobhan
- Noah
- Drew
- Maxi
- HFL
- Code Red
Note #3: In the previous tournament, I threw a blanket ban on dumb, offensive, and/or long names since I was pretty hardass about it. (who wants to write My Hands Are Abandoned Factories Manufacturing Heartbreak And Hate For The World over and over again in the results? Certainly not me) I will be a bit more lenient here, as we're p/ chill as a community whole right now... but I will still call a name into question if it's a bit pushy. :P
If you have any questions/concerns, whether it be about a match, the structure of the tournament, or hell, anything about it in general, feel free to let me know on here, Discord, or whatever medium you can find me on.
Let's have a good tournament y'all.
