ABSTRACT:

Status held by a "belt holder" bot.

Belt can be taken by beating the belt holder.

Can be challenged by others for the title X amount of times daily. (arbitrary number, 3)

All successful title wins/defenses are documented.

I am aware of the many other issues here, (level dif, attacking up but cannot attack down, etc, level brackets, should belts be kept within brackets or free to move up/down indefinitely, etc.) I just laid out the basic concept, maybe people have ideas on how it could actually work.

You mean like have a King of the Hill type of system where we have like 10 ranks to compete for? After long enough time of bots beating each other, it should reflect the top 10 spots until they are challenged and beaten.

Yes.

Oh, and a good time to implement this would be right after the first tourney, so the winners of their respective cats can be the first holders.

This goes back to a similar idea that was tossed around in bots2 which was a sort of 'bounty' thing. It is a good idea in theory but the volatile fact of how builds are right now would make not as fun as it could be. I would get behind it after the promised revamp of gear/weapons and game balancing but not right now.

If you meant more gear slots, I would really really really like that. I think adding more slots would be the only way to create a twist build wise right now. (amulets, belts, rings, 2h weapons(reimplemented ;), ect)

So what do you propose we do?

There are a few thousand dollars in stars already bought. I think Ed has made quite a nice dollar amount from this game so far.

More updates = more stars
More stars = more updates

See? Ed works on the game when he can. Gotta take what we can get.

I'm not sure how much this would add to the game once tourneys are implemented. I guess it would be fun to have something to strive for every day rather than every month, but eventually all the titles would just end up on super-redis-freaked bots.

I like this. Any ideas to add liveliness and make people want to keep playing have my support :)

Even super redis freaked bots lose sometime. I doubt any super redis build would go 100% win on it's unredissed version, provided the build was decent to begin with.

And remember, you have to actually fight to take a belt.

Super redis freaks would be able to take the belt easily, but they'd have a hard time stealing it back again, and would eventually break.

You could also make it so the dura damage for freaked bots increased exponentially compared to the normal rate during title fights.

Could be combined with tourneys when implemented, but what exactly does the belt holder gain besides status?

A belt?

You could make trophies, for example, X defenses trophies.

I like the idea of a king of the hill competition. I marked this down to come back to later.

Good to hear Ender! Thank you once again for being such a great attentive dictator.
