Challenge 2K9/Pre Chat

Hi, I'm going to begin this challenge. Do anyone deny?

I'll have 2 sub-classes for this challenge:

• NanoBot Movement Challenge Y2K9: Test your nanobot movement agaist good nano bot!
• WaveSurfing Chellenge Y2K9: test your surfing againt the best pair of GuessFactor and AntiSurfer!

And the main challenge as like MCY2K7. If no one deny within a week, I'm going to rule this challenge. » Nat | Talk » 19:12, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I have a few comments:

• Yes, NanoBot is good! I was just thinking we need this the other day.
• WaveSurfing is not about dodging GF and AntiSurfer much. The biggest point of wavesurfing is being able to adaptively dodge ALL kinds of guns. Including head-on, linear, circular, pattern matchers, are also all very important in REALLY gauging how well a wavesurfer performs. In fact, in some ways with wavesurfing the following is a very good rule: Unless you can get 98%+ against head-on targeting WITHOUT firing, then you have some significant bugs/flaws that you could put all focus into fixing. Similarly, simple targeting is also very important to gauge. Only after you've perfected against the simple targeting, should you try to improve it against the fancier things.
• You seem to indicate a small number of bots with how you say "best pair of" and such. Really, it's not a fair test unless you have far more challenge bots than that.
• The main challenge could maybe with some additions/removals/updates probably as well
• Actually, instead of "WaveSurfing Challange" I'd suggest a "Avoid the Simple Targeting" challenge, and a seperate "Avoid the Adaptive Guns" challenge. In fact, this could absorb the "main" one as well maybe. Just have one with everything from head-on to nano pattern matchers, and one with everything like high-end pattern matchers up to strong GF guns and AntiSurfer guns.

Other than that, cheers! --Rednaxela 19:45, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
