Pal, given that you just had to cancel EOTR 3, is starting EOTR 4 a day later really a good idea?

Id have to agree with Frank here. If you cancelled EOTR3 yesterday, stating that you were too busy to complete fights for it, why on Earth would you start EOTR 4 today?

**paulc** · 6 February 2008, 14:55

Because Im off school today due to a PDDay, so I have all of today free.

Unless youre planning on writing the entire thing today, I dont see how that helps.

You could have delayed EOTR3, its not unnatural to delay tournament, seeing as we do that a lot.

Yeah, Ill have to think about entering this time. I dont want to enter my bots in a tournament that becomes a hypothetical after one heat, and especially because that hypo was due to a brief panic.

huh?

Paul, Im dissapointed in you atm. One cancels a tournament because theyll be busy for a long period, or because they lost interest in vapourbotering, or simply because theyre under too much pressure, not because they have to wait a whole 24 hours for a day off school.

quote:

I know it seems pretty early for me to say this, but since unexpectedly, Ive just come under seriuous pressure at school, so Ive decided after pressuring from my teachers and parents to cancel this series of E.O.T.R Series 3 - but Ive decided to do a hypothetical, explaining WHO won and HOW they won. Im really sorry, but this is how it would have penned out.

If this only lasted a day, you could have easilly continued EOTR 3. Some majors have been delayed for months because of pressure like this, delaying EOTR 3 a single day would go unnoticed.

The road you take now a) dissapoints a lot of people and b) takes you to the process of getting people to sign up all over again.

Either you didnt think this trough, or youre simply pressurizing YOURSELF way too much. If your parents and teachers really say you dont have time for this sport, then just put it at the VERY BOTTOM of your priority list untill you have enough time to actually do it. I know you love this game, but if youre too busy to host a major, than dont. When your vacation starts, or whenever youre ready for it, by all means open EOTR 4, ok?

Perhaps you can also find the time to host little 4 or 8-way tournaments, or grudge-matches till then, but do not make a major untill youre 100% sure youre out of the pressure-zone.

Yes, I think maybe I shouldnt have cancelled E.O.T.R 3 as I did that after a day in which I felt really depressed about certain things like school work and my love-life (the latter is going extremely and embarrasingly wrong), and in a brief moment of panic, as Martijn just said, I decided to cancel my own tornument before starting another one the day after. It was mainly my dad who was pressuring me, as this morning my mum said that I shouldnt have cancelled it. After this morning, I now believe Im out of the pressure zone - Im sure about it - Im just annoyed that I wanted to get it done, but wasnt sure about how to go about doing it.

When you cancelled the tournament yesterday, how long did you think your pressure zone would last? A week? A month?

I see yesterday was rough on you, but throwing something out of the window every time youre in a brief moment of panic is a bad habbit no mather how you look at it, in your later life, but certainly also when writing a major tournament that can drag on for a looong time. Something this big can easilly take more than 6 months, and from my own experiences I can say having 6 months without any stress is very rare to say the least, so make sure you think this all through.

Alright! I might have leaped straight from the frying pan into a fire, but Im sure that I should restart E.O.T.R. S if your robots can be sent in, thatll be lovely.

Paul, youll have to go through 16 heats, 2 semi-finals and 1 grand final to make this work, please make sure this wont happen again, it was quite dissapointing.

Storm II
Big Nipper
Axe to Fall 2
Flick of the Wrist 2
Sheer Heart Attack 2
Another Night at the Bar
Back to Rock 3
With or Without you

Well youre going to have to wait for some stats, Im afraid, as Im updating my squad now. But let me just remind you that, having Aspergers myself, its not been easy to finish tournaments. In fact, a great example of this is the first Crash & Burn tournament. It stopped at Heat C, and went about SIX MONTHS without any battles, but I still finished it. Thus proving that time is not really a factor. If you have to make some sacrifices, then delay your tournament, but dont cancel and do hypotheticals! That takes all the fun out of things! :sad:

Anyway, my squad will be...

1. Wedginator 6.0 (2)
2. Super Gore Evo
3. Seung Mina III
4. Aftershock
5. Intrigue
6. Killobite 5.0 [previously Cortez 1.1; no stats yet]
7. Turbulence
8. Shrederator

Stats for Killobite 5.0 will be up later. Also I will try and find some info on Shrederator, but look him up on YouTube, and youll know what damage hes capable of.

whose stats will come soon

Very good, but Alex - you need to have at least 2 realies. Are Cable and the other robot realies? If not, youll need to substitute them for something else.

Could I enter the same bots I had for EOTR3?
