Lightweight Deuce

[O-G]

Okay boys, I'll do my best to re-create the rules that i remember from the first lightweight tourney (Laeq/Dark will most likely edit this post so as to make it all tidy/correctly ruled a bit).

Lightweight Deuce

• PM your submissions to Dark, with the title "Lightweight Submission". They will be posted after the deadline passes. THE TEMPORARY DEADLINE IS OCTOBER 2ND. It may change if enough people need more time.
  
• All legs types except tanks are permitted, as long as they can fit within the weight limit.
  
• Total weight must be within 6200(?) or less
  
• No EO Cores
  
• Must use either handguns, hand rockets, blades, or pulse rifles (includes the DEMON and parrying blades). This means it must be classified as one of the above in the weapon description. To access the weapon description press triangle twice over the weapon in the assembly.
  
• Exceptions- The CR-WH01HP is banned from this tournament, because it is broken. The CR-WL95HNNR left hand napalm rocket is allowed, despite not saying hand rocket specifically. The CR-WR93HNRP right hand large rocket is allowed, despite not saying HAND ROCKET specifically.
  
• You CANNOT use any weapon that says anything other than HANDGUN, HAND ROCKET, BLADE, or PULSE RIFLE.
  
• Pegasus boosters, radars, or any NON-OFFENSIVE back equipment is allowed. Any extensions are fine, feel free to even use the missile ones but they won't work without main missiles. No offensive insides or ECM makers, but decoys are welcome.
  
• You cannot underweight tank legs or do any other kind of exploit that allows you to have a tank with 9999 AP but only weighs in at 6200 or less, just stick with lightweight/Midweight legs (Dark's Note: Shouldn't be a problem. There is only one possible combo for 9999AP and it shouldn't be able to downweight itself to the limit).
  
• You MAY, however, use Heavyweight cores and arms if you find a way to do so, but heavyweight legs are for the most part off limits
  
• No Part Sharing, except Optionals obviously. The maximum number of ACs per contestant is three (two less from the last time), and they must be built on the same team and game save.
  
• No errors are permitted on any given design. This includes but is not limited to overweight, AI error, and arms overweight.
  
• About previous designs- BUILDS from previous tourneys or leagues is not allowed. This does not include names or modifications. A hypothetical example is that Joe could enter an AC named "AC1" that is a completely different build than the one he entered in the last lightweight tournament. Similar, Bob could enter "AC2" whose name was unchanged, based on a design he made in the past; but with a few modifications here and there. Exact duplicates of past designs are not allowed to encourage new builds.
  
• BATTLES WILL TAKE PLACE IN IGOL ISLAND.
  

I think I got it all...Laeq will do the rest.

Sounds, well, a little boring...oh well! Time to try!

Should I post here, or PM it to someone? Because I'm already done!

[animesou]

No inside parts that can cause AP damage like rockets, bombs, or mines.

What about ECM jammers? Are they allowed?

[bigjob0310]

They probably weigh too much. My AC currently weighs 5499, w/o ANY inside parts! Or hangar weapons! Or dignity!

[Shark]

Umm... the lightweight thread is still on here. You could've just referred to it....

At any rate, seems like we're going the same path as last time. I'll make the appropriate corrections.

Just one Q.... who is hosting? Will it be you, O-G?

EDIT: And one more thing. That weight limit is teh insanity!! It wasn't as low as that.

[AtrumCustodis]

"Also, any extension other than Jiren or Saisui is either banned, or unusable in the circumstance of this tournament, so only 2 of your ACs will have Extensions....KEEP THAT IN MIND"

What about the Aux Boosters? They seem useable in the circumstances.


And about ECMs, IMO I think they should be baned since the radars would take away from our precious weight limit.


BTW Its spelled, Deuce, not Duece. lol

[Shark]

I corrected everything based on the exact rules of the first lightweight tourney. Also, a few additions that I found suitable.

[O-G]

like i said, anything i messed up on would be changed by an Admin, i started the thread at school in the last 7 minutes of comuter class

and i dont think im hosting it, i just started the thread because the Poll was locked and the decision made, so might as well get the ball rolling

[Shark]

Yeah, alright... I figure that Laeq and I may end up sharing the responsibilities again. Or, if he doesn't want to, I'll host the entire thing.

Speaking of which, are we in need of more mods? I don't really know.... Tailsnake recently was retired and maybe we're a little short in helping hands.

[O-G]

i'd nominate MW if we do end up needing one just because he kept such good order in the shortlived ACO FF League

[AtrumCustodis]

When my PSP is back in order I'll help out.

I guess I could be a part time Mod for the Tourneys.

But I still want to be able to enter the tourney.

[bigjob0310]

So who should I send to? I just finished modifying!

[Shark]

Lol. Are you sure you want to submit so early?

I totally forgot about the submit system. How is it going to work, guys.... PM or posting?

If by PM I'll be sure to post all the builds when the deadline passes.

[Moon Walker]

Just let the participants post it here then gather them all on the first post instead of looking here and there when the topic gets closed.


Heh, O-G wants me as a league mod? why not? but first I'd like to.... taste the new league, but if you need help in exhibition matches or tournaments then I'll gladly help.

[bigjob0310]

PMing is better, since then no one can see what you have!

[Purist]

Especially le precious AI.....

I guess PM can be in effect again. I mean, there's nothing about the process that will make the tourney unfair or unenjoyable. Whoever's hosting should just preiodically update us on who has submitted a design, and things should be okay from there.

I'm sorry that I cannot host or even help out with this thing because I'm perpetually loaded nowadays; I'm not hyper-posting anymore, and it's quite unfortunate that I can't participate as much. I AM looking forward to this thing, though, so maybe I'll get one or two designs in before it's too late.

[Shark]

Sounds depressing.

At any rate, the fun to posting was always checking out the cooling designs.

In place of that, peeps, you should hype up your creations lol ;D.

[Purist]

DUDE.........the 6200 limit is KILLING ME.....

The new Blacklash has nearly no chance of making it in.

[bigjob0310]

Oh, well, get used to it! I did, and I was satisfied with 5500!

[Purist]

My first AC has exactly 6200 right now.

^_^

[Shark]

Hmm, very interesting.

Heres hoping other people are designing. And actually, 6200 was the weight limit of the last one, but O-G had 5500 originally.

I guess some are having trouble getting back into the groove.

[animesou]

Ok so do we PM our designs (and to whom?) or post them here?

Speaking of hyping up your creations...


Coldman stands no chance against my...

AC Name: Astroman

[Purist]

Weird...

I thought the limit was slightly higher than 6200. Oh well, my second AC has 6198.

I'm moving on to my third.

Afterward, it's AI construction time.

[Shark]

Designs should be PMed over to me, I guess. My inbox is already bulging lol.

Good to hear progress. It's interesting how Jacques is doing the builds first, then the AI.

[AtrumCustodis]

Whens the due date?
