Forgot to add but Dr. P's front plows are hinged. Same with Cement Mixer and Snijmachine's rear wedges.
Robot Bastards 2: The New Era - Discussion
I think they'll do fine. The hinges at least on Snijmachine and Cement Mixer are visible

Alright, and that's both of my ones up. For Trump ex Machina, I've taken a...slightly different means of doing the RPs for that one. In-character.

I just figured that the fight card gets posted in the RP section. That explains why it was taking so long to get posted... I was looking in the wrong place! The brackets had all the information anyway. You can call me Sherlock Holmes if you like.

Impressive starts by Wingspan and Precise Saunter, now I'm awaiting for Methane's battle going for a full house 3/3 for the first time in...probably half a year.

when raven and hellhound both get armour and are bigger then true hero's wedge[/quote]Hmm... I agree that it should get the armor bonus. Although I don't think it would affect the direction of the fight.

...huh. Honestly, I don't know if I would've entered if I had known that you could be FFed for doing RPs over 500 characters long. To be fair, I didn't actually know about the rule at the time I wrote the RP, but the limit isn't really long enough to do a decent one (at least in my opinion), and to me, it just overall comes off as punishing people for putting in the effort they do for those kinds of detailed strategies.

It sucks that you suffered FF losses, dude, and I feel for you, but it was pretty clearly stated in the signups and discussed widely. Personally, I was a bit iffy on it, but it makes the writers' and participants jobs easier, ultimately, and kills the recent trend of absurdly long RPs dedicated as much to trashing your opponent's design as to an actual strategy. I've managed to write halfway decent RPs with it and I didn't kill basically an entire day doing so. It also has the added benefit of making RPing a bit less daunting for rookies. I think we at least owe it to ourselves as a community to give this a shot.

I find the 500 word thingy fair, and it's a good thing I double checked the rules for that.
Robot Bastards 2: The New Era - Discussion
Just to make it clear, the limit is 500 characters, not 500 words. It's worth keeping that in mind.
And while I initially thought the 500 character limit would be difficult to work with, it's actually not as bad as I'd expected. You've got enough space to put a reasonably rounded strategy down, as long as you don't waffle on with "here's why my idea is going to work and his plans are not" type of stuff, which is what I think it was designed to stop anyway. So in that sense it is working, it gives the writers an easier time, along with RP'ers as well.
Plus without the attacking of opponents' designs and overly long explanations of everything, it means we can put some trust in the writers again, rather than going "but you forgot about this one specific detail that I mentioned one time in my Dickensian novel of a strategy".
