Wait, does this mean I'm fighting Darvi over 3rd place, or are we both just eliminated?

[Toaster]

The former.  That way you're both still doing something.

[Digital Hellhound]

Aww yus.

PM'd action.

[Dave1004]

<<<<<Kicks ass and takes names.

You're going down, Digital Hellhound.

Your Anti-tank missile is scary as hell though.

[Toaster]

Round 1 - Fight!

Dave1004 (Terranator) versus Digital Hellhound (CHARIOT):

The two winners face off and engage!  Terranator knows what is coming, and moves to defend!  Sure enough, CHARIOT launches its Anti-Tank Missile to start the round, but Terranator is ready and it only inflicts one damage!

CHARIOT begins maneuvering to avoid any incoming shot, and just barely dodges Terranator's Hellbore laser shot!  It inflicts one damage in feedback to its wielder!

Terranator:  9/11 HP
CHARIOT:  12/12 HP

Spoiler: Rolls (click to show/hide)

Initiative Phase 1:

Dave  3
DH  2

Dave action:  Dodge  3 (+2 next defense roll)

DH Action:  Anti-Tank missile  Atk 2  Def 2

(2+2) + 1 - (2+2) = 1 damage


Initiative Phase 2:

Dave  1
DH  1

Coinflip:  Dave

Dave action:  Hellbore cannon  Atk 1  Def 2

(1+1) + 1 - (2+1) = 0 damage

DH action:  Dodge  3  (+2 next defense roll)

(Neither of you rolled better than 3 this turn.  You call yourself champions?)



Fergus (Phacon) versus Darvi (Will-E)

Phacon is quicker off the starting gate, and fires its Railgun in an attempt to disable Will-E's missile racks.  The aim is off and the shot impacts the body, but it still inflicts one damage.  He then moves closer to attack with its club.  Will-E moves to intercept, and activates the Equalizer!

**KABOOOM**

Phacon is blasted backwards and knocked flat on his back, taking a massive seven damage!  Will-E, however, takes eight damage of self-inflicted pain.  Will-E collapses and doesn't get back up.

Will-E has been destroyed!

Coinflip:  fergus

fergus action:  Target Railgun at primary weapon  2  (Regular attack at -1)

Darvi action:  Self Destruct (2d4+2)  Atk 3+3+2=8  Def 2

8 + 1 - 2 = 7 damage, 8 to Darvi

Darvi destroyed!

With a surprise move, the lower bracket contest is over, and:

Phacon wins the round!

Phacon:  2/9 HP
Will-E:  0/9 HP

Turn 9:  Combat round 2!  One battle is over, but the champion is still to be determined!



(Yes, Darvi's action was to self-destruct twice.)

[Digital Hellhound]

Action PM'd, if this is needed.

Congrats on the third place, Fergus. I'm going for the gold myself.

[Dave1004]

Turn has been PM'ed :/

[Toaster]

Round 2 - Fight!

Dave1004 (Terranator) versus Digital Hellhound (CHARIOT):

CHARIOT continues its saw assault, this time attempting to take out Terranator's repair subsystem!  He overextends a bit, and only glances off the target as Terranator zips backwards unexpectedly quickly!

Terranator uses this distraction to land a powerful blast with the Hellbore cannon, dealing out four damage!  The feedback again deals one damage.  The blast, combined with Terranator's defensive maneuvers, causes CHARIOT to be unable to reach Terranator for a follow-up strike.

Terranator:  8/11 HP
CHARIOT:  8/12 HP

Spoiler: Rolls (click to show/hide)

Initiative Phase 1:

Dave  3
DH  6

DH Action 1:  Saw the Patch Kit  6  Targeted attack, -1 next defense  Atk 1 Def 4

(1+1) + 1 - 4  = -1  No damage

Turn 10:  The final showdown!  Who will be our victor?  WHO?!?

[Digital Hellhound]

This game is rigged! Rigged I tell you! In my favor, most likely!

PM'd action.

[Toaster]

Once Dave gets me his action, this RTD is over!

[Dave1004]

Sent my PM. How'd you like that dodge, Eh, Hellhound? BWAHAHAHAHA! I can read you like an open picture book!

[Toaster]

Round 3 - The end of everything!

Dave1004 (Terranator) versus Digital Hellhound (CHARIOT):

Both contestants see fit to repair their damage, with Terranator able to heal three and CHARIOT activating to heal two.

Terranator repairs again, but nothing happens as it is already at full health.  CHARIOT moves to score one last hit on the repair patch with its saw, but the attack is fended off.

Match over on time!

Terranator:  11/11 HP
CHARIOT:  10/12 HP

Spoiler: Rolls (click to show/hide)

Initiative Phase 1:

Dave  4
DH  2

Dave action: Repair (2d2)  1+2 = Heal 3.

DH action:  Repair - Heal 2.


Initiative Phase 2:

Dave  6
DH  1

Dave action:  Repair (2d2)  2+1 = Heal 3.

DH Action:  Saw - Target defenses  6 - Targeted attack, -1 next dodge

(2+1) + 1 - 6 = -2 No damage

With the dust settled, the final conclusion is evident:

Terranator has won!


Final standings:

1.  Terranator
2.  CHARIOT
3.  Phacon
4.  Will-E


Congratulations to Dave1004 for commanding the winning robot!




And that's game!  Please complete this quick survey (spectators as well):

1.  Did you like the robot battle mechanics?
2.  Did you like the short RTD format?



I think the mechanics need a bit of polish (that's what a field test is for, right?), but the short RTD format is a great way to prevent mod burnout.

[Dave1004]

1. I did, very much so!
2. I love short RTD's, they work great, and lots of people get a good chance to play. It's great for a Newbie's First RTD as well, without having to get tied down into something with eight pages of the history of how elves moved from the forests to the mountains.

I'll be expecting another Mini RTD about training a gladiator, Toaster! Seriously, make it, please. Reserve me. The original turns can start out as upgrading gear/training/doing quests for rare loot, then they battle to the death. :3

And man, am I awesome or what? Totally won!

[Darvi]

1. Your calculations were kinda confusing because they didn't say what numbers came from where.

[fergus]

And that's game!  Please complete this quick survey (spectators as well):

1.  Did you like the robot battle mechanics?
2.  Did you like the short RTD format?

1.I think the two self-repair systems were somewhat overpowered compared to the damage that the weapons could actually do. The calculations should also list the source of the additional numbers.

2.Yes, it also makes for a good testing environment for a new system before doing something larger. If you do another one I'd be happy to play.
