Ouch. Taking tough losses to Not Very Nice and F-Dynasty puts him in a precarious position. Otherwise, MW and HW look incredibly good. Bulletproof Bomb seems to have found its gusto, and look for it to improve its records against the eliminated Chocolate.[/quote]Mein gott. F-Dynasty, understandable. But even thinking about that LW match makes me want to smash something.

But at the very least, it's looking OK for Decapitator and Bomb, Conqueror still has a chance if he tackles JBMHR the right way and gets a free win from Spin Cycle next week anyway, but the less said about Mamba's state of affairs at the moment, the better.

Stop implying my LW is bad.

[/quote]To be brutally honest, it's a pretty lame design for ARC Thwacker standards.

In a real-life scenario, you'd have trouble hitting anything with a hammer pole that short and a body that wide (And due to the lack of kinetic energy built up from the spins, it'd do very little damage anyway.), those massive wheels have little-to-nothing protecting them, barely anything interesting about it at all asides from the transitional thwacking (And even that's starting to become more and more commonplace in Thwackers.), it's illustrated in MS Paint of all things, and to top it off, the name's daft. I mean, Mr Not Very Nice? If you're going to do that, why not call the next one "Mr Meanie", or "Mr Jerk" or "Mr MOMMY HE HURT MY WIDDLE FEEWINGS"?

Quite how it's managed to win as much as it has when you've got great robots like Kite and Zombie Killer languishing at the bottom of the table I've no idea, but I'd put it down to sheer dumb luck. Maybe I am coming off as a jerk by speaking my mind on the subject, but yes. It is bad.

The names sarcasm
Now lets not get into arguements.

(And it was predicted 4th.)

OK, I'll leave it there. Just needed to get that out of my system.

Thanks for the name suggestion btw.

GF93 · Post by **GF93** » Thu Aug 22, 2013 7:38 am

No worries. Which one?

playzooki · Post by **playzooki** » Thu Aug 22, 2013 7:40 am

All of them

[/rant][/quote]Shut the fuck up. It's not his fault Kite and ZK are doing so badly.

*DP*

In fact, you know what. I'm going to counter your absolutely ridiculous rant with one of my own.

How is it lame? You can clearly see the basic shape of it. It's actually one of the better paintbots I've seen that hasn't been done by Dylan P., or Josh, or StevenMcG. The colour scheme isn't too bad either.

How is the thwack arm short? I measured it out and it can still thwack things just fine, unlike a few other thwacks I've noticed. I might give you credit for the body width, because it look a little long, but I doubt it will cause him many losses. Also, LMFAO at your vendetta against exposed wheels... you always seem to think exposed wheels are a bad thing. There have been very few times wheels have been ripped off in CFL leagues; probably only by the really powerful spinners, and even then it's few and far between.

The name's daft? I'm sorry but that's idiotic thinking. Not Very Nice implies he's not gonna be nice to you. Fair enough because this is ROBOT COMBAT. On top of that, he can name it whatever the fuck he wants. Just like I can name my HW Cutie Honey and Josh can name his MW Harbinger and so on and so forth.

The reason he's done relatively well with it is that it's actually a decent design, as you seem to want to be blind to, and I guess you can't take that since your 'nearly perfect' LW lost to him. Well guess what, I could go into a tirade about Conqueror and point out every little thing that's wrong with it. Would you like me to do that? Furthermore, don't try and play us against playzooki. Kite and Zombie Killer couldn't pull their weight, and that's not his fault.

Now stop being such a fucking sore loser and learn to have some fun. You're really pissing off not just me, but a lot of people. I'm just the only one vocal enough to express myself the most on the issue.

GF93 · Post by **GF93** » Thu Aug 22, 2013 8:27 am

I wasn't blaming him for that. And to be honest, it's semi serious- I mean, it's always good to see newer members make a strong run in their debut competition, but it was more wondering aloud how it can be so that such a design can do so well whilst the aforementioned two just aren't.

But yes, sorry. That was out of line.
