NationStates Jolt Archive

Okay, I had idea about something we could do. I have noticed the large number of nations that currently use mechs and thought it might be interesting to do something similar to Battle Bots/Robot Wars.

A back-story for the tournament is being developed just in-case one is needed.

As for rules, they are simple.

1. Maxium of six members per team (all don't have to be pilots, some can be mechanics).
2. Matches will take place in a 100 kilometer square combat zone.
3. They will be elimination matches (ie, lose once, and you're out of the tournament).
4. If a mech moves outside of the combat zone, it will be disqualified and not allowed to continue fighting in the current match (will count as a 'kill' against your team).
5. Land, sea, and air mechs are allowed; no space mechs.
6. No targeting opponent team's power core, cockpit, or mech transport.
7. Battle Judge droids will oversee each match.
8. Remember, its only a game.

So, who's interested? Their are sixteen slots open for competing teams. If you are interested, post info on your characters and base info on the mechs you will be using (doesn't have to be anything classified). Also, give info on the on-planet (tournament planet is already set-up) mech transport you will be using.

Interested
So something along the lines of MechWarriors?
Also, how will combat be done?
Single mech/team/match?
Tech/weapon/size limits?
Format(template) for mech/crew/staff?
All forms of terrain?

Actually, the original tournaments were held and open to U.E.O. (SeaQuest founded region and I'm in it) members only the past. SeaQuest, myself, Planet Zi, Galactic Patrol, Glorious Heritage, Temporal City, Lensmen, Jarvon, Velantia, and Gatekeepers 21 all discussed this together and decided to open it to everyone. (That was part of the back-story SeaQuest mentioned).

As for you questions, here is how they pan out:

Each team that is paired up discuss the number of mechs (for example, a 5 mech team can agree to fight in a 2v2 match. Sending another mech would disqualify them and cost them the win.), weapon limit, et cetera (all agreed on before the match starts at the Mech Battle Commision command station (either the orbiting one or the one on the ground)). Also, each team is able to fight until all of their mechs are disabled. Their will be 'sleeper' units in some arenas (computer controlled mechs (ie, RP'ed by the same person RP'ing the Battle Judges)) for added flair.

Though, for mech size, that depends on mech type. Though, no ultra-huge mechs. Keep the units down to say, one pilot mechs at least.

As for the stat templates, I'll talk to my regional allies and we'll get back to you on them.

What if the mech can operate in the air, the sea, the land, and space?

Oh, knew I was forgetting something. The stats you provide are merely for security reasons (helps us in the U.E.O. keep track of which mech belongs to who (to prevent theft)).

Sorry, DE. No need to discuss them. I already had them, just forgot to post them.

What if the mech can operate in the air, the sea, the land, and space?

By space, I meant no match will take place in space (at least not this tournament). It is recognized that some mechs can operate in multiple environments (the Strike from Gundam Seed for example). If it is a mech such as that, it will be determined between paired up teams which it will use per match.

Any other questions?

This sounds prrty good... so do you mean 1 player controls 1 mech or the team?? If it is solo mech's I wont be able to get a team together so if there's one without many players contact me and Ill join up. I got my mech stats worked out and just waiting for reply to this I guess. do you class mech's with jump and/or hover compenents as fliers??

I will join. Filled-in templates coming in a bit.

You control your team of up to six members yourself. This includes mechs. You can have a team of one if you want, but, as you and the others advance, it will be more and more difficult for a one member team to defeat the multi-member teams as few of the one member teams would be left.

*Snip*

The only battle mode that the transports are targetable and can compete is used by the Dark Judge droids. The Dark Judges are used only for matchs between the best of the best teams. No Dark Judges will show up this tournament as all teams are automatically Class Z. Get enough wins, and you may rise in the ranks. Defeat the current leader of your class and you advance to the next. Their are 26 classes (Class A is the best of the best). As for basic info on the transport, that can be a little history of the vehicle (like how your team came to own it), that kind of stuff. The Mech Transport usually is the command center of the team. For example, if a mech needs to be swapped in a match where only a max number of units can be deployed, it must re-enter the transport before the replacement unit can be launched. Think of the Transport as the Mech Tournament version of a Pit. You can use it as a repair station (using only what you can carry), a place to alter the weapons layout on the mech, stuff like that. You can even use one of your mechs to pull a flat bed unit that the other mechs are stored on. Armed Transports are a hold-over from the early days of the original tournaments as some people back then were known for attacking teams in the middle of a match, killing the team members, and stealing the Mechs. The Mech Pirates, as they were known, are pretty much a memory now and no incidents involving them have been reported.

@All: I don't recall if I mentioned this, but I will be RP'ing the Battle Judges this tournament as well as any Sleeper Units. Each match will take place in its own thread. Planet Zi will RP the final challenge for the last team standing as the reigning Regional Tournament Champ. Defeat Planet Zi's team, and you become the reigning champions.

Also, I have added a line to the Mech Stats Template.

Also, feel free to name your Teams. Planet Zi's champ team that the last of the sixteen teams will face is known as the Blitz Team.

Editted pilot's names/team in.
Understand all info.
Has someone been watching Zoids?
Will be adding a third(minor) pilot mech as well.

Do I sense some foreshadowing?

Well, like Dragon Emperor anti-self is the Fraternity of Blood, Planet Zi's is the Mech Pirates.

Anything else?

So far we have two applicants for sixteen slots. Come on, we need to get more slots filled if this is going to be worth-while.

So how many min needed?
Also, did you get the idea from Zoids?

So how many min needed?
Also, did you get the idea from Zoids?

Well, a min of 6 or 8 would be nice (not including Planet Zi's Blitz Team).

And part of it comes from Zoids. Stuff from Zoids, Mechwarriors, other mech games, and other mech shows (live action and animated) were combined for this.

so at least 4 more people/teams?

Oh, almost forgot. If you get four teams to agree (including your own), you can do a 2v2 match using all four teams. If you do this, the measure of teamwork between yourself and the partner would be judged as well as the standard stuff.

I'd say the only objections might be the size of a Titan.

Yes, titans can be big. Thing is, a Warhound is 16 meters tall, and a Reaver isn't that much bigger. Aren't those sizes the average sizes of mechs?

Propulsion Method (Limbs, Treads, Anti-gravity, et cetera): Vernier Thrusters/Apogee Motors, Legs
Pilot Name: Ranko Tendo
Combat Zone (Air, Sea, or Land): Air, Land, Space
Basic Info: Tempest has several new technologies installed to give it an edge in combat. An INCOM unit in the head is a novel new weapon that can be used by non-psychic pilots to make remote attacks similar to the bits employed by mobile suits designed specifically for potent psychics. 2 reflector INCOMs are housed in the knee booms. The reflector INCOMs are designed not to deflect enemy attacks but to redirect the Tempets's own beams, so that it can hit its targets from unexpected angles or concentrate its fire in one place. Among its formidable defenses is the I field generator, a sort of barrier created to deflect beam weapon attacks. However, due to energy constraints, it only protects the cockpit area, Also this unit has bluntmandia prototype Cloaking device that was derived from an acient artifact found on bluntmandia prime.

Yes, titans can be big. Thing is, a Warhound is 16 meters tall, and a Reaver isn't that much bigger. Aren't those sizes the average sizes of mechs?
Not sure, my mechs are much shorter than those(almost like enlarged power armour), but then Gundam mechs are about that size.

Well, I've talked with Planet Zi about size. Try to keep them small as you'll never know when you'll be fighting in a urban environment (lots of abandoned cities put into place on the Tournament planet). No monster mechs.

I'll let Planet Zi post the stats on the mechs, members, and transport of the Blitz Team. That way, you can compare the standard size of Planet Zi's mechs to your own.

At present there are teams:
Spectral(Theao)

Name: Zeke
Age: Unknown
Gender: Unkown
Species: Organoid
Description (If no pic): Red eyes, silver skin, rocket boosters on back, 5 feet high, Tyrannosaurus form. (Pictured with Van Freiheit and Fiona Alice Lenat)
Info (Keep it simple): Van Freiheit found Zeke and Fiona Alice Lenat in an ancient ruins. Ever since then, the three have become best friends. Zeke, as an Organoid, is able to fuse with the techno-organic core of Van's Sheild Liger, thus enhancing its abilities.

Pic (If available): http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Character%20Pics/van1.jpg
Name: Van Freiheit
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Species: Zoidian
Job: Shield Liger pilot
Info (Keep it simple): Finding Zeke, an Organoid, and Fiona Alice Lenat, an Ancient Zoidian, in ancient ruins in the desert near his home town, Van set off on a world wind adventure that caused him and his companions to become the focus of several different groups, including two sides of a major war. Eventually, he and his friends helped stop the war. After the war was over, he joined the Guardian Force to help ensure that another war would never happen. As they grew older, a romantic relationship developed between Van and Fiona. The two are currently only aware of this on a sub-concious level.

Pic (If available): http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Character%20Pics/irvine1.jpg
Name: Irvine
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Species: Zoidian
Job: Lightning Saix pilot
Info (Keep it simple): When he first met Van during the war, Irvine was only interested in gaining control of Zeke. Eventually, he became good friends with Van and joined his band of cohorts. Irvine's 'eye patch' is really a tri-lens imaging device.

Pic (If available): http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Character%20Pics/Leon_Toros.jpg
Name: Leon Taros
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Species: Zoidian
Job: Blade Liger pilot
Info (Keep it simple): Leon is one of the two children of Dr. Steve Taros. His younger sister is also a mech pilot. Their father is an eccentric mech genius. The C.A.S. used with Bit's Liger Zero was created by Dr. Taros. Leon could care less, however. Leon is a loner, but helps out when his team mates need him.

Pic (If available): http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Character%20Pics/bitcloud1.jpg
Name: Bit Cloud
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Species: Zoidian
Job: Liger Zero pilot
Info (Keep it simple): Bit is an aloof sort. He was choosen by the Liger Zero as its pilot. Before Bit came along, the Liger Zero was uncoperative. Dr. Taros has theorized it has something to do with the Liger Zero's intigrated Organoid system. This system allows it to act like Van's Shield Liger when Zeke has fused with its core. However, unlike Van, Zeke, and the Shield Liger, Bit and the Liger Zero do not need a seperate Organoid. Before he joined the Blitz Team, Bit was known to move out to Battle Zones after matchs and scavenge for parts.

Yes, do tell. I would like to keep all nine planets in my Zodian star system intact.
Hehe, don't worry. We understand the need to keep planets intact. The bombs are very small and only have a yield of about 20 megatons. Also, they take place underground so most of the damage will occur right above the bomb.

Ehh...I feel my mechs are starting to become inadequate, considering the Gundams, Zoids and such. I may have change them up a bit.

Anyway, I've added a team name to mine.

And, uh...Did you decided on a maximum size yet?

Battletech Mecha have a Huge advantage over zoids, in that they have a insane amount of armor, Example would be a 100ton Atlas, That sucker takes forever to bring down.

@GadgetCorp: Just in general. Nothing over 100 meters high for mechs. Also, you never know how you'll do. Tactics also play a big role in this tournament. Teamwork is also another big factor.
@Ageaol: A SeaQuestian anti-matter torpedo has a yeild that can reach the terratons, but they are designed for prescision strikes. Please limit the number of bombs the mech can carry. So far, that is the only weapon I am worried about.
@All: I feel I should mention, if you get 4 teams agreed to fight in a 2v2 match, if both teams lose, as these are eliminaton rounds, both teams on the losing side are eliminated.

Like SeaQuest said, tactics and teamwork also play a large part in this tournament. Also, you never know if you'll make it to the end. Also, remember, my units have been upgraded from the standard Zoids. Plus, they also have Naquada armor plating provided by SeaQuest. Naquada, just to let you know, is a very effective starship armor and an efficient super-conductive mineral.

@SeaQuest: I noted a few typos in the info I posted. Going to fix them now. (And add in the size of the Hovercargo).

Isn't that a bit big? I guess we should come up with a weight max.

Not with the right weapons and tactics. Same as anything big.. but do not stick around if the reactor goes.

Isn't that a bit big? I guess we should come up with a weight max.
Not really.. most Gundums are around 80 tons adverage. Mechwarrior started using a lot of 100 ton 'assault mechs'. Then a lot switched to smaller power armors in the mechwarrior stories as well.

Anything with a reactor that destructive has no place in the tournament, in my opinion. Like Zi said, we want to keep the planet in one piece.

Also, as you will note, Planet Zi will not be fielding her command mech, the Ultrasaurus. Mainly, because it is too big for this contest (would only be allowed in if Zi wanted to use it as the mech transport).

Not really.. most Gundums are around 80 tons adverage. Mechwarrior started using a lot of 100 ton 'assault mechs'. Then a lot switched to smaller power armors in the mechwarrior stories as well.

I think Zi meant something like not allowing mechs with wieghts in the kilotons or megatons.

Hehe, don't worry. We understand the need to keep planets intact. The bombs are very small and only have a yield of about 20 megatons. Also, they take place underground so most of the damage will occur right above the bomb.

Remember, this is only a tournament, not an actual war. You are fighting to disable your opponent, not destroy them. Planet Zi's mechs always fight till they get a Combat Systems Freeze, which could take a few days for the pilot to repair, or a Control Systems Freeze, which would take a skilled crew of techs a week, at least, to fix.

Well.. you said that aiming for those vital areas was against the rules of engagement in this tournament so the reactor issue shouldn't be a problem. Athough i might add that any 'reactor' short of a simple gas or fuel powerplant would be prone to explode with massive force if hit.

Note, Zi's Shield Liger is 125 tons in weight, so 100 tons wouldn't be the max.

Good point. Though, any mech worth its salt, should be designed to take a licking and still be salvagable.

But, the Dark Judges favorite battle mode is an anything goes, no holds barred, no rules match. Lucky for us, we will only be using the standard Battle Judges.

Yes, but then a critical hit on a vital componit such as a reactor is beyond taking a licking. And mechs such as the Atlis and its clanner counterparts often took massive damage to it armor before and was disabled long before a hit on the reactor. I was mostly just saying watch out if it does.

Yeah, i know, i watched the whole series a couple of time over. Not a bad show.

Note: I will not bejoining this match. I have some revamping to do on my mech designs but i will keep an eye on it and will try to compeat in the next one if there is one.

Good point. A component like the reactor is one of the most heavily armored points on a mech.

Understood. Feel free to join in as a spectator (in the main thread) and watch the matches on the big screen or use one of the orbital station's simulators. Their is currently no limit on the number of spectators in the main thread to watch each match as they unfold in the battle threads.

100 meters...Wow...Well, luckily, the one I have in mind is only 45 meters tall...Muaha. Time to bring out the MAIM Bot.

My mech's all seem so small... all the better to run rings around ya's!! I've been thinking, to stop all these arguments why not throw an all in hollo match at the beggining of the tourney. A hollo would mean no damage to actual mechs and provide oppurtunity for everyone to see the armour, weapon, speed etc. abilities of each other's mechs. That's apart from the fact it could be a team battle of 3v3 or however many teams we have, a CTF type scenario for a special prize, such as choosing the winning teams choosing the 1st battlefeild, and besides all that it gives us a reason to start playing!!
p.s. Speaking of battlefeilds, are we having maps for these??

Aww, that takes away the element of surprise. I would rather have people not know just what my mechs can do in the real tourney.

I'm interested. I'll have my Armored Cores up in a few minutes.

EDIT: Make that hours, I have to retype everything I had on them due to a corrupted floppy.

Done. Fear The Four...

Aww, that takes away the element of surprise. I would rather have people not know just what my mechs can do in the real tourney.

Thats not the idea... Its so that someone doesent get into a match and begin firing with 3 thermo nuclear warheads a second and say his mech are
perfectly capable of doing such things. Besides, I never said what sort of mech's to use in the holomatch, maybe we could use the same kinds??

I am still interested, just need to find actual stats. Thing about 40k tech is, no exact stats. There are some docs saying what a titan might have, but no exact specs on what the weapon does.

Well, like you need to with a lot of Games/Shows, you have to make some stuff up.

Well, like you need to with a lot of Games/Shows, you have to make some stuff up.

Tell me about it, all my stuffs from video games, I'm having to BS the sizes as well as everything else...

I've tried to be origional but realise Ive ripped of a fair amount of crap... Ive used tidbits from SC, Mechwarrior 4, WH40K and much much more... Though I forgot to mention, when my mechs look humanoid they look like spiky versions of Tau WK40K Battlesuits. Difference is weapons, colours, specific details etc.

p.s. Speaking of battlefeilds, are we having maps for these??

That's why the main station has the simulators. They can be programmed with the stats for any mech. (Think ultimate V.R. device).

As for maps, hadn't thought about that. Well, most of the tournament planet is desert (75% in fact), there are some mountainous and forested regions, as well as the 10% of planetary ocean. I'll talk to Planet Zi about the layout of the tournament planet and the location of the 'abandonded' (never really inhabited in the first place) cities.

Good point there. Using the simulators, you can even set up the weapons lay-out for all mechs involved. Though, the simulaters are usually used for 1v1 matches between two people.

Second thought, screw titans... can't find crap about them.

Gundam style mechs ftw.

Tell me about it. For a Zoid-based nation, like myself, I had a hard time finding what I needed. For one thing, I can't read Japanese.

Luckily, as the Zoids shows were long running series, I kinda recall some of what they did on screen, so I can stick to as cannon as I can. Of course, I did kinda upgrade the stats I found for the few Zoids I did, to include some tech from other series (like the Lightning Saix's cloaking device and the Naquada armor plate on all my mechs and the transport).

The mechs in the Gundam series were nice (only seen Gundam Seed however (still looking for the others)), but I like the Zoids better. But, that's only my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own. Feel free to use whatever mechs you want.

In all honesty... Gundamn SEED blew....

The one, and only best series made was the Gundam Wing ones, which I just pulled for my mechs.

Great. With the weapons being pulled out I might have just been better off using Peewees or A.K.s (Total Annihilation). Most of the turrets could blow away my little kbots. I knew I shouldn't have used the TA equivalent of infantry...

Even if I boosted their armaments a bit, they're still a bit underpowered.

Anyone else interested in joining this?

Use Fido and The Can, backed by a Commander...

D-Gun everything that moves and you can't lose.

Hmm, no limit on Mechs, just pilots, time to make a few more Speciaqlist ACs, and maybve include a few more Less Known titles as well...

Well, just make sure to remember the limit you set on yourself with your choice of mech transport.

On a side note, applications will be accepted for the rest of this week and all of next. On next Sunday, Planet Zi and myself will discuss who to let in and then one of us will start the main thread for the Mech Battle Tournament.

Okey dokey then... So is anyone up for a practice match?? No live ammuntion or holo??

Good point. That means we need at least three more teams to allow everyone to participate. Thanks for pointing that out.

@All: Feel free to tell your friends about this. We need more people, otherwise not all who signed-up can participate.

Another method to deal with the odd number would be a 1vs1vs1 or a three way match.

Hehe... 12 aint that great either unless we have final 3 battle... either 8 or 16 would be optimal, but appart from that no matter how even the numbers... Also, have we considered a round robin so everyone fights everyone once and those that win the most make it through?? Or even something like the old Robotwars series with far bigger and deadlier robots...

lolz, you beat me to it Theao!!

It's also probably best to make a 'hub' thread and make individual threads for the various matches. Most tournaments that use the one thread become overcluttered, and those that only have one match at a time risk having those who are waiting on their turn to drift away and pass the thread off as dead.

Argh, my math is off today. Probably because of the big research paper I'm working on. My bad.

So, either we get 7 more people to join, or someone has to move from the participating team list to the spectator list.

Actually, that was the plan all along. Zi and I thought it would work best.

Another method to deal with the odd number would be a 1vs1vs1 or a three way match.

The number of teams per match is set at a minimum of two. There is no set max. If you get three teams to agree to a 1v1v1 match, then go ahead. Or even four teams for a 2v2 match. If all parties agree, its fine with me.

Bump, for interest.

At the very least could we leave the start till thursday or leave me out of the 1st battle, but I will fight a catch up. I just have Karate grading and a history test on wensday so I need to practice both tonnes... In other news however, I WON!! I got post number 100!!... lolz

1. Korgarein

Here is the current champion team that the last of the teams that sign-up for the tournament will face as the last challenge.

1. Planet Zi: Blitz Team

@Ageaol: You can use the mechs you listed, but please, do not load any anti-matter bombs. Understood?

@All: If we are going to elimation matches, then we'll need an even number of teams. This means that if we only get an odd number of additional applicants, we will have to drop one team to keep the list even. So, we need at least six more teams to join.

This is turning into Gundum Fest 2005/2006

Lol. It does appear that most nations use Gundam universe stuff for mechs.

So r we going to be putting a lot of character roleplay in this outside of the combat?

You can use your characters as much as you want in the main thread when your team is not in a match. You can even open your own thread for use for your private planning sessions or if you request a base of operations for your team, you could also open a new thread for that as well.

In short, it is up to you how much character RP you do. I know that Planet Zi will have a few characters only showing up in the main thread and I think she is planning to have the members of her team pop in now and again.

I mean like interacting with each other and talking before matches and stuff and can I request a base near the combat zone mainly for a larger space for repairs and living I mean they have a starship but a ground base would be helpful.

The planet side bases are all contained in 1 cubic kilometer mesas.

Like I said, everyone is free to interact with the other characters with their characters in a group environment (like the main thread). You can even send taunts over the air waves during the match. Only, external comms will be taken off-line. This means no communications will come out-of or go into the battle zone except for the video feed that will be broadcast.

As for near a combat zone, that will be (I think I said) 100 square kilometer areas randomly selected on the the fourth planet of Planet Zi's Zoidian star system.

Lol. It does appear that most nations use Gundam universe stuff for mechs.

Funny thing is, ACs will tear any Gundam to shreds, even Wing Zero has very little hope of taking on Marduk, Custer, and my Surprise AC at the same time and winning. Mostly because I watched all the shows, and I know the weaknesses of all the Gundam Wing Suits.

On the flipside, Kbots can be slagged by anything more powerful than an anti-air missile. Except CORE kbots - you need a superheavy howitzer to slag those.

I'm going to stick by them anyway, because they're small enough to fit between trees and use sensorj jamming.

Thats good OOC knowledge, but will your characters know IC?

Oh, on the matter of maps, one will be provided for each match.

I'm telling you, just D-Gun everything.

D-gun?

D-gun?

D-Gun: I believe it stands for Devestation Gun (hasn't played TA in so long it's not funny...) point is, it killed just about anything instantaneously, assuming you could hit what you were aiming at, which took some doing sometimes... Anyway, only the Commander had it, and it kicked so much ass it's not even funny...

Thats good OOC knowledge, but will your characters know IC?

Adun and Azrael will know, at minimum, because one is psychic, and if he gets close to the pilots he can discover their weaknesses given time, and the other just knows things, as befits the creepy-mysterious-menacing guy in my party.

How will that work for those you don't know the weaknesses of?

He Knows Things, there doesn't have to be a really good and plausible explanation for it, he just IS.

Which doesn't really answer my question of how HE'll know info that You don't or how the other will know the weaknesses when YOU don't.

Your ACs wouldnt by any chance be the ones from the sorta popular PS and PS2 game series 'Armored Core' would they? I really love those games.

You Betcha.

Technically AC3 for the most part, except the Karasawa, which I took from AC2, because I like that one more.

I do know the wweaknesses of most of the Gundams, so the Psion can "pick them up" And Azrael, he can be all mysterious about how he knows. Since I already do know, it's a moot point.

Oi, SeaQuest. You got a MSN? Or Planet Zi? I'd really like to talk to you.

You Betcha.

Yup.. played em' all. Yeah. the ac2 Karasawa energy rifle does look better.

I can not remember the weapons name but it was from the expanssion disk for the origional AC called project phantazom i think. The weapon looked like a mech hand and fired 5 rounds at a time with a high rate of fire. That would be one hell of a weapon to use. I called it the fingers of death...lol

I never got Project Phantasma. I'm too poor, though I do have 1, 2, and 3.

I'm pretty sure it was Disintegrator gun, since it's been described as turning others into clouds of hydrogen and other simple elements. I suppose I'll add one to the Fido to deal with anyone who decides to get too close. I'm not going to be bringing in a full blown commander.

It was extremely powerful, as was the commander, but you had to get close and if the enemy had either a Big Bertha or an Intimidator (Long Range Plasma Cannons) you were taking a huge risk. If they had a Vulcan or Buzzsaw (Rapid Fire Long Range Plasma Cannons) and the power (A battery of 9 nuclear reactors if I recall...) to run it constantly, you would be totally screwed.

The main reason for it was so if the enemy tried to rush your commander it would be able to defend itself - It's primary weapon was a light laser rivalling the power of an A.K.'s

I can imagine pulling in a whole commander. When the match starts you whip up a base and overwhelm enemy mechs by mass-producing Peewees and Flash tanks.

What about the non-gundam mechs?

Depends on where they come from, the KBots for example, I know how to deal with very well, others, not so much.

You don't really need much to deal with Kbots, you know.

Heh, that's a good idea...

Oi, SeaQuest. You got a MSN? Or Planet Zi? I'd really like to talk to you.

I do. Zi, no. Can't talk now though, working on a major research paper assigned at beginning of semester and due next Tuesday. Simple, if you forget the fact that I only got the instruction sheet last Tuesday.

Sorry about going off on a rant like that. I'll TG you my MSN later after I get this paper started and we can talk tomorrow. K?

As for the D-guns, they sould like Zi's charged particle cannons. The best of the best in weapon tech.

You don't really need much to deal with Kbots, you know.

I know that, for example: *Karasawa fires, 50 Pee Wees disintegrate*

Ie: my mechs, which are original creations.

I could say that my psions presence requires that you divulge their weaknesse to me if the pilots interact with him for more than 5 minutes or so, which would give him plenty of time to pick their brains without their knowledge. I would rather avoid doing that however, as that is rather wankish, and would make me look like I can't win against you without knowing how to beat you.

Tactics, remember everyone uses different tactics to accomplish their goals. Zi's Blitz Team, as part of her Guardian Force, have a military back-ground and all of her pilots took part in the last inter-system war. (I kinda helped her work out her history).

Thus arriving at the point I was trying to make. Thought there are ways to counter psykers/psions ect fairly easily.

I once read a book that had portable thought screens that could be worn like a harness type deal.

It'sd only wankish if I demand it, since I don't have to demand it for most of the opponents, it's just a wise use of resources.

I can come up with only one counter off the top of my head, and that's to be a psion yourself.

Hey, I just realised something, according to the rules, we can cart in extra Mechs after we take losses... So long as our pilots survive we can keep this up effectively forever.

EDIT: I actually have a plot device for a Mech Replacement to occur, so I guess if I should ask before I do that...

Well I can think of a number of methods that may or may not be necessary.

Most likely not, I'm confident in the ability of armor, explosions, rapid fire, and speed to take you out.

We shall see(possibly).

The mech max limit is set by your transport. You can bring as many mechs as the transport can carry, no more.

Of course, you never know when you'll find a scrapped mech from a previous battle rusting away on the battle field during you match.

Also, thier is an stadium-like setting that you could choose to fight in. Though, unlike the field battle zones, the Battle Judge is built into the wall and the stadium is only 1 square kilometer.

Though, if you choose to do a stadium battle, three mechs max per team (limit set by size of stadium) with no chance of retreating to transport for repair or replacement.

Or, better yet - Automated Mechs! Just simple ones that have nothing nearing a true AI (To dodge 'Extra Pilot' issues) that are controlled by someone in the transport! You know, Point at something and they'll go over and shoot them.

But that's no fun, because it becomes war then.

I copy. The Mech limit for a Gunship is about 7, depending on size, so I should be just fine.

Lol. From what I remember of Zoids, the Zoids' techno-organic cores naturally are equipped with an A.I.. The more advanced units would have something similar to free will (ie, limited movement control). The Zoid cores with an intergated organoid system, like the Liger Zero, or the units that fuse with a 'wild' organoid, like the situation between Zeke and the Sheild Liger, then it becomes similar to an S.I.. I think I am remembering correctly, as I haven't seen a Zoids episode in a long time.

I cant wait for the Hellfire's first salvo... And if you think you can get close enough to my mechs to read their minds through several layers of titanium do it to Malaki, I dare you... Also, all my Mech's have Conrad V2.67 AI systems incase they lose that 'human touch'. Plus, Conrad goes boom if they try to escape... He's not an extra pilot, he's the backup system..

See the armor of all the Gundams I use is improved upon as well as they have improved weaponry. Each can also be outfitted with slight enhancements like faster boosters and stronger armor creating increases and decreases in speed. As well I would be up for a 3-way battle.

Although i will not be participating in this tournament, my team for the next one will be completely military. Military grade Mechs and weapons and Military Pilots, Elite lancers most likely considering I would hate to intrust the honor of the Korgarein ground forces to second string forces.

Well, you are welcome to take part this go around as a spectator with your character(s).

We need one more person for a three way.

Suggestion for determaining match ups:
Have a 'general/grand melee' then match the first out with last out, second out with second last and so forth.

How about we do the melee with the simulators? That way, we can save the mechs themselves for the matches.

Oh, and last post for the night.

Well, you are welcome to take part this go around as a spectator with your character(s).
I plan too... well sorta. My charaters might not be pilots as much as intellegence agents prepairing tactical reports and gathering info for my pilots for the next go around.

Which would only really work if this one went well.
Suggestion, You have your spies and a team. While for match one, the team would be 'blind' your spies watch the other matches and gather intel that way.


Additional idea for odd numbers, rather than either a single elimination pyramid style set up, how about a randomised double elimination style set up.

That would work if I had my team and mechs ready. I'm still working on my mech designs. Although by the time this accually gets going I might have them done..lol.

I'll join the 3-way brawl.

Room left for me?

@Mini Miehm: I have heard, from various sources, that you tend to "win at any cost". That attitude is acceptable, as long as you use it IC'ly. You, like everyone else, gets three strikes (Zi's idea). So, just know, Zi and I will be watching you. From similar sources, I have heard that you tend to not post your losses, that goes against the general NS rules. Please don't do it.

Note, this does not mean you aren't allowed, you can still paticipate in this RP freely. Just keep your IC posts believable. Understand?

Bump, for interest.

Sorry I havn't been able to put up my stats yet, I'll have them up tommorow afternoon, I ended up having to write an english paper on Othello and I'm off to bed at the moment. Tommorow afternoon, I promise you that.

Your sources, since I'm pretty sure we both know who they are I won't bother naming names, can frankly kiss my ass, I post losses, I just don't numerically list: I lost 6 of these, 7 of those, 85 of theses and 100654 of the otrher, because I feel it is a waste of time and detracts from the RP, if you look carefully at my posts I will say I have taken losses, and when a ship is destroyed, I will mention it, but I will not give you a man by man account of what I have lost, because that's not the kind of RP I want to be in.

Now that I'm done ranting... I'm not very tolerant of people saying things about me behind my back,if you have an issue with me, say it where I can address it, don't take it to someone else, if it happens again, I will tear a strip off of Someones hide, in the most polite, non-flaming way possible.

My IC posts are always as believeable as possible.

@SeaQuest: Blunt, but that's just the way you are.

@Mini Miehm: I would like to hear more about these mental abilites of your character. I want to compare them to something I have on the back broiler, as the say.

Sure thing, what do you want to know?

Hey Mini may I ask what their abilities are?

Hey Mini may I ask what their abilities are?

Pretty much standard, Telepathy, Empathy, Telekinesis, a few flashy "energy manipulation" things, that's about it.

sounds cool and a lot like my Psykers plus the enhanced mental/physical reflexes and the slight foresight of possible outcomes.

I try to avoid Foresight, too awkward.

So, lemme guess, since you use the word Psykers, you use IoM tech, right?

Trying to switch over to it for the most part with a few original designs and mechs here and there. Oh and the foresight is like possible outcomes for a situation which helps them use the computers in the mechs similar to the Zero System. They can be wrong but they can also be right it's like a 30/70 thing.

Oh, I actually know people who treat that as a Psionic skill, and I've actually used it as such, like 3 times that I can think of.

Sorry I havn't been able to put up my stats yet, I'll have them up tommorow afternoon, I ended up having to write an english paper on Othello and I'm off to bed at the moment. Tommorow afternoon, I promise you that.

Take as long as you need.

So when are we going to start this up?

Next week. Zi convinced me to allow the rest of this week to see if anyone else wanted to join up so we could see how many of the 16 slots could be filled.

Here is the current champion team that the last of the teams that sign-up for the tournament will face as the last challenge.

1. Planet Zi: Blitz Team

@Ageaol: You can use the mechs you listed, but please, do not load any anti-matter bombs. Understood?

@All: If we are going to elimation matches, then we'll need an even number of teams. This means that if we only get an odd number of additional applicants, we will have to drop one team to keep the list even. So, we need at least six more teams to join.

Its the skill of "knowing an enemy's weak point due to mind-reading" that I'm not so sure about. From what you have posted so far, this is only from your cannon knowledge of the Gundam universe. How many on NS can you name that use tech that is 100% true cannon?

That would be Telepathy and Empathy working together. You read his mind and engage in conversation, topic is unimportant, so long as the person is neither psychic nor protected, then, once you have them talking, you read their subconcious, their wories about the fight, IE: Heavyarms pilot thinks "I hope I don't run out of ammo", which is always going to be Heavyarms weakness, no matter how you modify the actual technology, the weaknesses are still the same.

My knowledge also applies to Mechwarrior Mechs, Total Annhilation Kbots, and Zoids, and that's just off the top of my head.

So, its not specific to each mech's weaknesses, just a general category.

On a side note, Zi's Zoids aren't exactly what you would call the standard models of each. She pestered me until I agreed to allow her to customize the six she will use in this RP with SeaQuestian tech.

It's really more like I know more about the ones in those categories than I do in others, for example, Zero Basic will never be anything more than a mediocre combatant, because it isn't well enough armed, or fast enough to truly excel, it's good, but it's never going to be great, it can be outrun, out muscled, outgunned, and out meleed, even if it does take some doing, Panzer on the other hand will never be able to really move at all, due to the heavy armnor and massive gun systems.

Another Example: Heavyarms will always require alot of ammo, there is no getting around it, which means that an Assault AC can stay back at long range and trade fire with it until one or the other of them runs out of ammo, then advance to melee and MOONLIGHT-LS it to death, or have a very Light AC run around and Overboost away from it, while eating into its ammo before closing and hammering(as best as something that light can) at it until it drops.

3rd Example: Deathscythe has limited Ranged weapons, IIRC it hasd Vulcans, and the Shield, and that's about it, so for thatr situation I just stay out of melee and hammer it with explosives and lasers until it dies.

4th(and final) Example: Mechwarrior Mechs: Kill the legs, and the mech is screwed, especially when it has no Jump Jets, and Jump Jets are only a temporary fix...

Addressing the side note: I noticed in her post that they all had some kind of special armor, but that's about it, and a properly constructed AC, with the right Parts and Options, can take fire from things you would not believe, of course, it'll end up about like Panzer, but still...

Ok I'm fine with that. Hey can I use stealth tech like cloaking shields.

Hey Mini my Gundams are improved upon like their MIDAS drives give them superior speed to any Gundam before them. I arm them better and as well with the Heavyarms I outfitted him with beam sabers, power blades, better gatling guns that have energy packs rather than drums (these can also be linked into the suit's power core), lighter weight armor with the same durability, and the ability to drop the unneeded amount of weaponry (ie missile racks like the shoulder and leg ones) when necessary similar to the armored veritechs.

Hmm, interesting, but I'll come up with some kind of weakness to exploit from the information I just recieved...

I could just start blowing parts off, like in Mechwarrior I guess...

*Add's a beam cannon to Death Scythe just to screw MM over.*

Cool, Gona go get an Atlas or two, maybe a few Mad Cats?

Ok I'm fine with that. Hey can I use stealth tech like cloaking shields.

As long as you set limits for its use. For example, the one on Zi's Lightning Saix draws so much energy that it can't fire any energy weapons while the cloak is activated.

Ahh, I see. But, that sounds more like it would be common sense than some mental ability.

As for Zi's post, yes, I'm letting her use Zoids armored with the same stuff I use to armor my starships. Its not as heavy as the material she was first thinking of using, thus allowing her greater speeds (and the speeds she put don't include if she activates her Zoids ion boosters). That, and I know she is using upgraded forms of the listed weapons that are different from the cannon versions.

Uh, that's kinda the thing you do want to do in the matches. No weapons equals a Combat Systems Freeze, thus removing the mech from the battle. Like I said, you aren't to go for a kill, just a disable.

Cool. Everyone has until Sunday night to finalize their team.

My spaceship armors are all very dense, and consequently heavy, meaning that armoring an AC with that woulds be tanatmount to turning it into a pillar, an effectively unbreakable pillar when you consider the size of the weapons being brought against it, but a totally useless pillar nonetheless...

I should mount an AC with Chromsten, just for giggles...

Nice... I prefer to either go all out Assault, or go with a Medium, but I don't like the most of the Heavies for some reason...

I'd probably, if I was able to, had the ammo, etc., make it so that all that was left at the end of a match was the cockpit and various other "not allowedd to attack it" parts, but, since I can't, I'm gonna have to get a better solution, like blowing off a leg, or maybe taking out the weapons...

And, actually, didn't the D-Bison at the beginning of the series freeze for no apparent reason some times?

Understood. I only said Naquada is lighter then the stuff she was originally planning on using. Plus, as Naquada is a mineral that has super-conductor properties, its an effective armor against energy weapons (the energy absorbed can be redirected to any number of sub-systems).

I'm not sure. I remember the first series better than the others. (The series you mentioned was the second one).

Hmm, awkward, how does it handle Shell weapons?

@Mini Miehm Naquada would still be extremely powerful against shel weapons which makes them fast attack mechs with Heavy/Medium durability armor. I work the same thing into much of my armor such as Durtrinium which is also used on my mechs and starships. On my mechs however small amounts of Gundanium is worked into it to make it a pretty durable and safe armor.

Oh btw there were Five Zoids Series Zoids: Chaotic Century, Zoids: Guardian Force, Zoids: New Century Zero, Zoids: Fuzors, and Zoids: Genesis all of which I own

I recognise 2 of those...

Hmm, maybe a Railgun, or Grenade Rifle, or possibly even a Grav-Gun of some description...

EDIT: 3, I just remembered Fuzors...

You should know the first two because they both involve Zeke and the third is Bit Cloud and then you have Fuzors.

I was just finished up my mech's stats, and I was wondering. Do I have to use a previously established game's tech, or can I make something of my own?

I think its pretty safe to say u can make up ur own just dont go overboard.

Hmm, awkward, how does it handle Shell weapons?

Depends on the calibur, but, that is where the units agility comes in handy. A hit to Naquada armor using a physical weapon crack the armor plate. Repeated strikes will cause it to shatter. It is only a crystalline mineral after-all.

On the Naquada point, exactly. It also depends on the quality of the solid Naquada used. Too many impurities, and it won't last as long.

As for the series, I recognize all but the last one (though, when I saw Chaotic Century and Guardian Force, it was cut together like one series).

I was just finished up my mech's stats, and I was wondering. Do I have to use a previously established game's tech, or can I make something of my own?

Whatever you want. Though, if you make up your own tech/stats, please keep it reasonable.

But of course

But of course

Lol, that made me snort when I read that.

At least my team is cybernetic and more-or-less immune to this sort of thing (Psionics)... 'course, TA Kbots are not featured in any television series or movies, so they're still just your run-of-the-mill troops that get blown away in any fight.

Essentially, I'm blending the CORE 'mechanoids' thing with ARM's unit names and designs. I never liked CORE, always seemed very much megalomaniacal.

Heheheh. As am I. Happy to have a mechanoid crew, that is. They're just all-around faster, stronger, and smarter.

Heh, if they try any 'mental' stuff on my team, they better watch out for the response (Zoidians, especially Ancient Zoidians, have peculiar mental abilities).

Couple questions:
In damage or other disagreements, who has 'mod' authority to determain damage/final ruling?
When (aprox) will the thread(IC) start/we have tournament match ups?
Is it a single elimination tourny or double?
Will there be solely 'live fire' matches or 'blank fire' matches or point competitions(Ie: Accuracy + volume of fire, or demolition of a target in X time) or a combo of prior?
Lastly, can teams/pilots have 'grudge' matches without effecting their tournament rankings?
One addition question, are there any 'illegal' tactics or is it no-hold bar as long as you don't violate the rules?

Seaquest will probably be calling damage, as the Judges and etc.

Couple questions:

I will do that while RP'ing as the Battle Judge droids.

When (aprox) will the thread(IC) start/we have tournament match ups?

Zi and I have agreed to a full two weeks (this is week two) to wait to see if we can get a full 16 teams. Though, if we get a majority agreement, we can start sooner. As for team match ups, each team will pick a number one-six, I'll roll a dice, and the two numbers that come up will be the matched teams. This will allow for more randomness in match ups.

Is it a single elimination tourny or double?

Single (if I understand your questian correctly).

Will there be solely 'live fire' matches or 'blank fire' matches or point competitions(Ie: Accuracy + volume of fire, or demolition of a target in X time) or a combo of prior?

Depends on which combat mode you get. Though, live fire will be used in tournament matchs. Volume of fire is pure pilot preference. Timed matches are one of the random battle modes used. Accuracy is more of a training/testing matter and adding it to the Tournament will just complicate things. Oh, I will get the list of battle modes and post it as soon as I can.

Lastly, can teams/pilots have 'grudge' matches without effecting their tournament rankings?

If by grudge matches, you mean teams not liking each other, then that is fine. Just don't resort to anything against the rules, like sabotage. Feel free to give your team a rival.

One addition question, are there any 'illegal' tactics or is it no-hold bar as long as you don't violate the rules?

Their is only one no rules battle mode. That mode is favored by the Dark Judges and is not one of those programmed into the white Battle Judges. So, it would qualify as no-holds barred match as long as you respect the general rules set by Zi's Mech Battle Commision.

Battle Modes

0982 - this battle mode means you can only fight with a stipulated number of Zoids, and there are no restrictions on weapons and arsenals. This is the most common battle type.

0983 - basically the same as 0982

0988 - "An old fashioned shoot out limited to long range weapons." Six shots a piece, the only way to win this battle is to take out the opposing team with the six shots you have, or to draw them into close-rage combat.

0973 - Battle mode that limits the battle to Zoids/Mechs that are not airborne, often taking place in confined areas (such as an abandoned city).

0992 - A one-on-one match with no restrictions whatsoever on weapons and arsenals.

6690 - Shooting Challenge, used in arcade games. Allowed mid-battle entries into the fight.

0999 - Backdraft's battle mode. there are no rules; there are no rules whatsoever. All you have to do is win.

0990 - The Z.B.C.'s/M.B.C.'s equivalent to 0999, but with some rules for safety, etc..

1001 - The Royal Cup. Held only once every 4 years and is open to all Class A teams. The first to earn 5 wins, locate, and make to the hidden goal is the winner and is promoted to Class S.

Any more questions?

Bump, for interest.

SeaQuest! You need to be on MSN more often!... and if you are, I might have deleted your MSN by accident.

I will be out of state for this Thanksgiving vacation. I will have little, if any access to a computer. I will let you know when I have returned. As usual, I will still leave my computer on and logged-in over that time, but I will be A.F.K..

The whole family is making a trip to Florida. I only found out tonight that we leave tomorrow. This means that the main IC thread will be made when Zi and I get back.

Looks like Im now offline till Sunday. Also, I may have troubles every 2nd week when I have to go to dads 8>( I hope their aint that many restrictions on the behaviour as my pilots are kind of... well... crazy ***ed psychopathic maniacs... Especially Malaki...

Just keep it clean as we don't know how many kids could be reading it.

Single (if I understand your questian correctly).
Just to clarify: If you are defeated once, you are eliminated, correct?

Actually, I meant a team or player that had lost a match, challenging the winning team for a 'revenge' match.

Beware the Core Contingency my friend...

I personally thought ARM was much too weak in a standup fight...

My mechs are almost ready.

Also, this is off-topic but Mini Miehm check your TGs.

Hehehe... Its funny coz IM a kid!! well... close enough lolz

I'm back. The main IC thread will be started in a few hours after I get some sleep. Of course, Zi may beat me to the punch.

SQ, looks like you forgot to make the IC thread. Guess I'll do it in a few minutes.
