TOURNEY CHALLENGE #5: "Bann’s 3.5th and 4th Laws of Robotics"
Win the tourney to get a prize.
Isaac Asimov was a renowned scientist that created the laws of robotics. Little do people know that I was the one that provided his funding and thus owned his soul and human rights. While he was still alive and not dead in an autogun-related accident (you are all too young to remember this, Mercantiles), I asked him to add two new laws.
As an addendum to the third law: “As an exception to the law of self-preservation, a robot shall become a killing machine when outfitted with a spur.” As for the forth law: “A robot shall convince a human at spur-point to purchase Bann Mercantile Group’s goods and services.”
- We will be using the Spur Server-sent plugin for this tourney. Installation instructions below.
You will need this hotfix courtesy of ZaSpai (see attachment at the bottom of this post). If you do not have this hotfix, you will get many errors.Alternatively, you can save it manually. Here is the code.
object_event_add(Weapon, ev_create, 0, '
reloadSprite = -1;
reloadAnimLength = 1 / global.delta_factor;
animLength = 1 / global.delta_factor;
recoilAnimLength = 1 / global.delta_factor;
');

It's a normal plugin. Copy/paste it into a notepad file and save it with a .gml extension.

Copy/paste it into your plugins folder.
- Signup at the IRC (
Find it here.) will end at 2:30 PM EST for the 1st showing. Signup at the IRC will end at 6:00 PM EST for the 2nd showing. Remember, the channel is #RAYBANN. So far, we're looking at Saturday, August 22nd for the date.
- Teams are instantly randomized in IRC once deadline is up (via random.org/lists)
- A single elimination bracket will be quickly generated (if there are not enough people for single elimination, we will use round robin)
- The tournament host will randomize the bracket and teams.
- In the case of an odd number of players, a tourney organizer will sub in as a partner for the odd man out until we can find someone else to play.
- This tourney will try to finish in 1 day, so matches are done in a quick format.
Because we are playing 2v2, there are no CTF maps in the rotation.
