<big><big> - Oprah, 2018</big></big>

<big><big><big><big>The All Blacks</big></big></big></big>

Aight, so my dog just had a litter - my Black Dog, that is. The canine has been uh...frisky since it first took home that ROBOTS championship last summer, having been cloned enough times to become a meme. All braggadocio aside, it's honestly really flattering, and while this tournament has been presented as a joke (and lol, it is), it's also an opportunity to try something different: a completely level playing field. There are eight pups, which are exact copies of the original Black Dog II and identical in every way with the exception of their paint jobs.

<hr />

<big><big><big><big>Barking up the Wrong Tree</big></big></big></big>

That's not to say that there's no room for creativity at all. You'll choose and name your pup on a first come, first served basis, and while each will start with the same design, its stats are up to you. Choose to RP in any way that you please. This is a chance to test your RP skill, pure and simple. How well can you take advantage of your bot's strengths and your opponent's weaknesses? How well can you use the arena and anticipate your opponent's tactics? There are no excuses to be had here. Your bot doesn't suck. It's a championship-winning design. The other guy's bot isn't better. It's the same bot. Best of all, you don't even have to render anything. Just sign up.

<hr />

<big><big><big><big>Black Dogma</big></big></big></big>

1) This tournament will be capped at eight entries, so claim your pup while you can.

2) This'll be standard double elimination.

3) We'll be using the standard ARC rule set as seen <big>here</big>.

4) Don't QQ in chat if you lose. I'm writing the results, I know how to write, and I honestly don't care.

5) This event will begin when enough people are signed up. Deadlines are the standard Saturday 11:59 PM EST. Late RPers can eat a dick.

6) Do NOT enter your stats until every pup has been adopted. Then, you will have a twenty-four hour window to do so.

<big><big><big><big>Who Locked the Dogs In?</big></big></big></big>

<big>Bad dogs go to The Houndhouse (respects to V900 for the CAD)</big>

Image[/img]

The Houndhouse is a dog-eat-dog arena. It features a spinning hydrant with 3 heavy ball-and-chains that flail around, flinging bad dogs away (and putting some hurt on lightly armoured ones), and a steep ramp in each corner of the arena to prevent pinning. There's also a short wall by the "door" of the house. If your ass lands on the grass and can't get back in, you're done&#33;

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