The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2009

Re: The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2009

The main problem I'm having at the moment was the password onto this forum. Having had it completely changed, I was unable to find the one I was given to get on for a while.

I have, literally, only JUST been able to find it and get on, thereby I wouldn't have seen his post. I remember him saying that I had until Friday (today) to get my stats in, so I wasn't too worried.

He specifically said Friday. Yesterday was Thursday. He's cut my entry time by a full 24 hours. That's the problem I'm having right now.

Thing is, Chris, Friday begins AT midnight. All days do. When he said enter by Friday at midnight, he meant when Thursday turned into Friday. :P So Liam is not in the wrong here.

Re: The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2009

He did not say that. He said, quite clearly You may reserve a spot until Friday, which is today. And, again, when you consider I have not been able to get on, he should have been more patient, and NOT cut it back 24 hours.

Besides, what kind of person is going to be awake at midnight?

I'm just saying he didn't give me the designated amount of time, and that isn't fair.

It's 9:15pm by the forum clock.

Look, I'm sorry....but when anyone sets a deadline, I'm used to it meaning By the latest. That usually means the day in question. Thereby, I would have thought I would have been within-time. So, when you consider I've been having so many problems getting on, I thought I was in time.

I'm in Kuwait so I'm two hours ahead of England time atm - it's still past midnight, I can't think of anyone I know that doesn't stay up past midnight to be honest.

Re: The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2009

I never stay up past midnight because I don't see the point.

Re: The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2009

On one hand, I get my entries in, on the other, I spark a good deal of controversy.

Price for everything I guess.

Re: The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2009

Listen Chris

It was clear I meant midnight on Thursday, the beginning of Friday not the end of Friday

I'm sorry you're disappointed, but it's too late now

I'm going on holidays in about an hour, sadly I will not have internet access so the tournament won't be starting yet (no bumps please!! )

Re: The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2009

Liam, it was NEVER clear you meant Thursday midnight. Everything else I've ever entered, when they set a deadline, it means at the latest. You didn't specify that at all, and that's why I was annoyed at you.

And furthermore, how was I meant to know any of this when I, as I clearly said, couldn't get on?

If you had just made all of this clear, maybe I wouldn't have gotten so annoyed.

Re: The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2009

...you say you 'couldn't get on' yet you evidently WERE able to get on when you reserved a spot?

I hate to say it but it doesn't take long to copy and paste stats, and you evidently weren't entering anything new that needed final checking and statting, so if you could post to reserve a spot you could have foregone reserving, just entered your robots back then, and saved us all a lot of bother and unnecessary arguing.

Re: The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2009

Yes, that was when the password was saved. But when I tried to enter later (when I knew who I'd be entering), it wouldn't show up, and because it's such a stupid password, I couldn't possibly be expected to remember it, was I?

Either way around it, there's no point now. But, next time Liam, just a bit of advice...when you say Friday, mean Friday, and not Thursday midnight.

...

Seung Mina V vs. PsycloniZer vs. Liar 2 vs. Neo-Mecha

Team-up with Seung Mina V accepted. Go after Neo-Mecha first, and use the usual tactics. Spin up to a relatively fast speed and unleash the hits, hopefully tearing panels and dealing shock damage. If I can take out the vertical flywheel as well, that would be great. The skirts are also targets to try and rip away at. Next up will be Liar 2. Again, repeat the usual tactics, but try and focus on the wheels. They are pretty strong, but hopefully I€™m powerful enough to damage the wheel axles and at least reduce Liar 2€™s manoeuvrability.

Another Night At The Bar vs. Iron Awe 2.1 vs. The Final Cut vs. Pick Axe of Doom

Quite confident about this to be honest. I think it€™s been discussed that Another Night At The Bar€™s own instability will be its downfall. My first target will be Pick Axe of Doom. If I can get a nice hit on the Polycarbonate areas, it could possibly even shatter. It should cause some big slices at least. I think myself and Iron Awe can damage it to the point where it is immobilised. Then I can go for Iron Awe 2.1. We all know how much damage Typhoon 2 did to this robot, and I fully intend to do the same. If required, I€™ll try and get some hits on Another Night At The Bar€™s wheels.

Gravity vs. Curse of Dread vs. Shovearound 2½ vs. Storm II

Flip! Flip! Flip! Send them flying, preferably out of the arena.

Flick of the Wrist vs. Killobite Hex vs. Wedga Triton vs. 259

It would make sense for me to go after 259 first. Get under those sides and flip it over, and hopefully that should be it eliminated. Then I€™ll assist Killobite Hex against Flick of the Wrist. I€™ll try and stack it against the arena walls or throw it out of the arena.

In the other battles I think Nidhogg To The Power Of Three & Jack in the Box, Mornington Crescent & Still Hurting, Envy & Typhoon 2 and Gabriel IV & E Clawdius Unum will go through. Good luck everyone!
