ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Alright, now I have 2 options:

1: I can let Martijn and Kody get their stats done, or...

2: I can start the tourney and let Martijn and Kody get their stats finished by placing their battles at the end of round 1.

Tell me which of these 2 options you want to see me do.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Patience Mark, you have a fair few other things that you could write before doing this.

[corsair_lightning]

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Like what?

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

If you are going to be that impatient about this, then I can plainly see where this is going to go...

Display your impatience an ounce more and I'm pulling out.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

I just kindly asked Jordan what else I could write before I get this started.

EDIT: I'm starting to think he was referring to VRW5 and Team Corsair RPG.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Team ARC has all their stats in.

I would post something here about how I'd like Martijn and Kody to get their stats in before the New Year, but with FanFic grinding to a halt, I'm willing to roll out some slack.

Therefore, entry deadlines for Kody(All stats) and Martijn(ARC stats) will be January 4, 2010. 1 week from today.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Hey everyone, it's Area51Escapee over from ARC. I just entered my bot for the tourney and decided to check out FRA. As I was reading this thread, I was puzzled about something. What exactly was the feud between ARC and FRA? I've been on ARC since the beginning of its formation and pretty active in all areas and I have no idea about such a thing. If it's the Joey vs. Philip thing, that was just a one-on-one thing and definitely wasn't reflective on the community. Most of the ARC mods found it to be a silly fight, actually.

Don't get the wrong idea, though. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything and I'm not angry, just curious basically. I'm glad you guys are treating this as a friendly tournament and not taking it too seriously, but I was just wondering about this. Thanks.

BTW, I'll try to hang out here more often. Seems like a cool place.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

What's going on, Gemini? It's me, Meganew.

From what I can tell, the ARC/FRA feud began with a flamewar between between Alex MacWilliams(Siphai), Dave Sheppard(DaveS) and Anthony Politzi(PanicAttackY2K/Swiss_Tony). It started with this post:

NAME: The Toni Tribute Robot
WEIGHT: 75 kg
SPEED: 2 mph
WEAPON: A potato launcher and a box which says Y dammit
SRIMECH: Nah
SUMMARY: Random pile of crap
WHEELS: Nope
TRACKS: Nope
WALKER: Yep
STRENGTHS: Potatos are scarried
WEAKNESS: No armour

And the flaming began here:

NAME: The Toni Tribute Robot
WEIGHT: 75 kg
SPEED: 2 mph
WEAPON: A potato launcher and a box which says Y dammit
SRIMECH: Nah
SUMMARY: Random pile of crap
WHEELS: Nope
TRACKS: Nope
WALKER: Yep
STRENGTHS: Potatos are scarried
WEAKNESS: No armour
Dave, we've discussed this before. Enough with this toni @!##. It's not funny, and you and some @!## from ARC are the only ones who DO find it funny. I've made you stop in the past, and I can easily do it again. So knock it off already.

The war was even more fueled by an idiot named Timothy James Sillery. So Daniel(britespark) decided to send him to ARC...

Timothy: I think the best thing for you to do is go to the ARC, where the robot stats aren't as detailed and you don't have to write any battles...

However, Alex resisted.

Timothy: I think the best thing for you to do is go to the ARC, where the robot stats aren't as detailed and you don't have to write any battles...

Noooo! Don't tell him about ARC!

And AJ obliged and pushed it...

Have fun!

Alex:

NO WAIT! Next season for ARC 4, it is going to become a whole load more complicated. The stats you see now; Speed, Torque, Weapon and Armour, are now going to be split in sub-categories as well as dimensions included.

Let's not forget that you have to Role-Play or post tactics about your fights. Where the RP's have to be extremely diverse picking on if's when's and how the battle is going to be played. Consider this place, a lot less detailed than ARC.

Tony:

No please, send him off to ARC! They deserve it!

Alex:

They deserve it? Tony, just shut the f*ck up. I'm tired of your @!## and whining of how ARC was mean to you. The thing was, you honestly made @!## designs that would not work and moaned whenver anyone made a sarcastic or light-hearted or obviously untrue statement.

Seriously, those designs would not work. Who are you to say that they would? Why were you actually arguing that a design would work, against people who have built and seen actual robots in combat and in the pits. People who have seen the blueprints of robots being made. Your designs were based on what you though might work, on a whim but they honestly would not.

Then you started @!## to people when they told you that they wouldn't. Over at ARC, people were tired of it and decided to just mess with your because you weren't really worth it. It was fun seeing you explode over a little thing like a missplaced I or something of that kind. Toni, your problem is you need to control your goddamn temper and stop blaming it on someone else.

Tony:

Y damnit!
Why don't YOU shut the @!## up, moron? I can hate ARC if i god damn @!## WANT to. Yeah, you're right: A design won't work just ebacuse I built it. I can't hate arc beacuse they are god almighty and give you @!## for free. I can hate ARC if I god damn want to and LEAVE if i'm fed up with picture whoring.

And the argument continued, until they stopped and focused on TJS.

And the closest thing to a clear start of this war is this post made by Alex MacWilliams:

Remember this. Some time ago, Minion and you fought. Minion constantly wanted you to leave right? He said that No one here likes you. Make a poll if you don't belive me. Remember that? Remember when DRD had that chat with you asking you to leave? You are goddamn annoying. LEAVE!

Now, you're being the very person you hate.
No one likes you here Timmy! Just leave!

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

...uh, I don't think you quite know of it, Mark.

Chris, AJ and Martijn were there when it happened so they can tell you better than anyone.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

just want to say here that i have no problem with arc or the fra, and if the preivious post sounded a bit full on (i would edit it but i cant, thats the one thing i dont like about this forum kane XD) all i ment was that the idea for a fra vs arc tornament is cool, i just think we should try to avoid more flamewars, and that past conflicts are, well, just that past conflicts, because i dont think anybody here wants to fight (and if you do may i sugest taking up rugby, or American football? :wink: )

anyway, i will bewatching with interest

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

I was just pointing out the remnants of the war that are still viewable on the FanFic forum.

EDIT: Notice: The fights will not neccessarily be posted in this order. They will be posted in the order I get tactics from both people.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Truth or Consequences, eh...

I beat him before. I can beat him again. This time, his flipper won't do much because I'll be pretty much the same right side up or upside-down. Because of the way his front is, and my wedges are hinged, he won't properly be able to get completely under me from the front; he'll just flip the wedges and that will do nothing. I have a more powerful drive than he does as well, so he won't win in a pushing match either. Plus he can't stack me thanks to the spikes.

Right, that's what he can't do to me, now for what I'm going to do to it...

I have greater speed, torque, and manoeuvrability than he does, so I can easily get to his side. That I will do. Simply get there, or his rear if I can manage it. Since there are no house robots, I will open the pit first and get him down it. If said situation occurs where we lock horns, push him straight ahead. If the pit's nearby, great! He can't flip me properly from the front so I have no problem going after his front either. There's no way he can really damage me either with a flipper so that's good. And oh yeah, be careful around the pit, I don't want to fall in myself. :P

Summary: Attack him completely. Be aggressive the whole match since there's not a lot he can do to me. Ultimately get him down the pit.

Now write us some good fights, Mark, okay?
