Time to throw down JunkRobot style! Ok, Bot's here's the low down. Each Round we'll have a new challenge for you. There will be 5 questions per round. Each question answered correctly will be worth a set amount of points usually 1 point for questions 1-4 and 2 points for question 5. So, for example, I answer questions 1-3 and 5 correctly, I would get 5 points total 1 point for questions 1-3 and 2 points for 5 totaling 5 points. THEN we will ask you to pick a die color Tia Scarlet, Kalkara Green, Slain Clear, or Vecht Royal, roll a D10 (ten sided dice, if you don't have one you can pick a random number 1-10). (this in case of a tie) I will also do the same. You will get 1 point if you match my die color choice for that round and you will get 1 point if your D10 roll outcome is within 2 ranks of mine.
For example, I choose Tia Scarlet for my die color, I roll an outcome of 8 on my D10.
You choose Tia Scarlet as well so you get 1 point for picking the same color die as me. The outcome on your D10 is 6. You would get 1 point for the D10 outcome of 6 being within 2 ranks of my 8. So going off the entire example given here, my total points for that round would be 5 and if I tied with my opponent's point total on the questions section we would default to color die match and D10 results. In which case, my total points would be 2.
If both these are a tie then the closest rank to my d10 roll wins.
Single elimination, however once we get down to the final 2 bots each Bot may choose a side. I'll announce who's on which Bot's side. We'll have a final set of individual questions for the Championship and a set of TEAM questions (you can confer between yourselves for answers) and your team's leader (one of the two Bots in the Championship fill out the survey teams results.
We'll declare a CHAMPION and a team champion!

Wow Round 2 was pretty tough huh? Well congratulations to round 2 winners you are 1 win away from the prize round Semi-Finals.
Mad Kudos to Rancid Pete for rocking the highest score!
Congrats to round 3 winners! I know there may be some WTF thown around after the scoring of this as there was a whole lotta this was too easy floating around so I am going to break it down for you why I scored the way I did.
here are your answers:
Q2: Four Ninja Brothers.
2. I know you tossed this around between Super Woman and TMNT ha, answer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
3. Q3: If you weren't familiar with the Crane kata before you certainly were after this character landed a winning kick to the nose of his opponent in a cult hit 80's movie.
Accept answers, Karate Kid, Daniel Larusso, Daniel-san (only accepted KK because they refer to him as such in the movie)
4. Q4: This comic/movie character lives in a deathworld and certainly has one of the most powerful notebooks that has ever existed.
This is trickier than you might first think. While Light Yagami does indeed have a deathnote that Ryuk placed there by tricking Sidoh, Light does not live in a Deathworld he lives in Japan. Ryuk not only still had his own Deathnote but he lived in the Shinigami barren wasteland I used the term deathworld because putting Shinigami realm was too googleable.. The correct answer here is RYUK.
Q5: People worldwide were terrified to go swimming after this character made his brutal screen debut in the 70's.
5. The crew referred to the mechanical shark as "Bruce"
therefore I accepted Bruce or Jaws here.
Q6: Finish this statement: My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father.
Prepare to die
7. Q7: He felt like he had to "catch'em all."
Ash Ketchum or / Satoshi (Japan)
This question garnered some crazy and insane and witty and truly funny answers. I'll try and answer why I didn't accept some answers while I did others.
Q8: Pretend you are a modern day version of the iconic figure Sherlock Holmes and solve this puzzle. You are very excited about your date this evening, she truly is a beauty. Driving the lush countryside in warm weather, your date is worried about her hair messing up and rolls up the car windows. You , Sherlock Holmes smile at her with joy but are quickly filled with dread as the radio announces that the countryside strangler is on the lose and was last seen wearing a dark blue suit, carrying a bloody crowbar near your area. She looks at you a little nervous as you are wearing a dark blue suit. As luck would have it about that time your tire blows out and your car battery dies. Not having a spare, you become stalled. Luckily, your cell service works but after talking with ole Hank at the tow station it will take an hour to arrive at your destination. Smiling once more at your date and noticing the high heels she is wearing you offer to go to the main road and flag down some help. She locks the doors as you walk away. After 30 minutes with no luck you decide it may be better to go back to the car and just wait on ole Hank and the tow truck. When you get back to the car, your lovely date is dead, she has been strangled..... The clues: No broken windows, the trunk is shut, no scratches on the car whatsoever, the doors are still locked from the inside and have not been opened, the windows are still up, there is no damage but the the tire and battery. How is it possible that the strangler did this?
Some incorrect answers and why:
1. While they were checking the engine, the strangler snuck into the back seat. After Sherlock left, the killer strangled the girl. Since the doors have not been open since Sherlock left, the killer is still hiding in the back seat.
This is a really well played answer an I like it BUT the story never says anything or even hints at the date leaving the car the dead battery could easily have been determined by the electronics going out in the car once they rolled to a stop and killed the engine (example of why the sliding sunroof was never closed), thus no need to lift the hood at all.
Besides we are talking about Sherlock holmes here folks, you don;t think at some point
he would have noticed the killer in the back?
The killer is a vampire and turned into a mist to float through vents. Materializes in the back seat to strangle her and disappear back through the vents.
I love this, this is hilarious but sorry the vampires are lame along the countryside all they can do is glitter and run fast.
It was not the strangler, but Carbon Monoxide poisoning. It can kill an occupant in a car within 20 - 30 minutes, if the exhaust is blocked and the engine is running.
Another witty answer however, most older vehicles while running will continue to run even if the battery is dead because of the current from the alternator. newer cars typically will die all together when the battery juice runs out so either way if the battery was dead indicates the car had to die or stall to determine a bad battery. Wonder who clogged the exhaust?, the vampire J/K.
If the car had no roof (common solution to this sort of thing), rolling the windows wouldn't help hair and locking wouldn't make sense. And Sherlock being the murderer would prevent her from locking the door as he walks away.
I get what you are saying but not true entirely, riding in a convertible has to do with aerodynamics, even though the top is down especially if the car is large with 4 doors, rolling all the windows does indeed help a quite a bit with the wind factor in your face, thats why I accepted convertible even though the answer I was looking for was the car had a sliding moon roof. (Toyota Camry is a great example of this type of car).
Sherlock couldn't do anything about the shutting the moon roof and locking the locks would at least help her from not being dragged out of the door so I say he would have left that alone.
1. Winding up the window, your date's seatbelt gets caught in it. Both of you don't notice as you are distracted by each other's good looks (and she's afraid you aren't paying much attention to the road). When you go for help, one of her heels breaks. She slips down and the belt, which is raised higher than normal and cannot be pulled down due to it being stuck, strangling her to death.
Not sure how the seatbelt gets caught in the window in this situation I think even the blondest of blondes would notice that BUT his is an incredibly well thought out answer kudos to you.
Answer: The car had a sliding moon roof, the stranglerwhen spotted had just killed Coot Hanks business partner and brother with his own crow bar, then proceeded to take his tow truck where he sees your date inside the car, she thinks nothing of it because the dark blue suit he is wearing is not a business suit but a workers blue jump suit. He pops the crowbar through the hole wrapping the hook around her throat, pulls and strangles her.
Accepted answer although not as fun: Electric convertible soft-top with no manual close feature.
Q9: You can place your answers to the last question here:
1. Crixson on the wall.
2. Santana coming from zombies head.
3. Custom painted board on table.
4. Gargoyle in the dragon picture.
5. Lord Vecht in his own picture.
6. Skull Archway on table.
7. Mikkey on second shelf.
8. Lorithian on top shelf.
9. Carnage Archway on small shelf.
10. Lavagon Board on floor
11. Berge on the table.
We are not offering a turtle without twins in this Kickskarter therefore that model would not be a correct choice.
Remember this is all in fun don't hate me, you may not agree with some decisions I make but I try and be a fair game master.

Misty-
Wow the semi-Final round was truly brutal. Tim Watkins has silently been working his way through the competition. It was a close match indeed but in the end he delivered the knockout blow to a very tough opponent Rad2x.
Tim stood in the arena, looking at the faces of the dwarves, elves, and many other races screaming his name. A feeling of confidence rushed throughout his body he was good and he knew it. He had just knocked off Nagalord and Rad2x had decidedly the same fate coming. Looking over at his powerful deadly opponent preparing his weapons, Tim shouted out ,
"How do you want your face to look after I've cut off your head!?"
Stragh the massive elf Berserker ,sitting 3 rows down from Lord Vecht, curled his lips in a wry smile, he understood, and he liked it.
Rad2x was limber he felt good as he should. He had just defeated one of the deadliest foes in the arena Another Widget. Listening to Tim Watkins smart comment didn't affect him in the least, and, as a matter of self discipline he chose not to reply.
The two combatants were on each other quickly. Neither taking the time to to pick up the gold, the dwarf (in a drunken stuper falling over the walls to his death on the arena floor) had spilled. Rad2x dodged and weaved and countered Tim Watkins blow's with the grace and eloquence of a lion. Tim pressed on doggedly showing no quarter. Rad2x maneuvered his way to an area littered with a pile of bones and kicked it. Much to his surprise a beautiful metal gauntlet ornate in design with knuckle slots inlaid with precious stones including the most sought after emerald in Darkmyre, revealed itself. This must be the fabled emerald gauntlet of Kalkara Greenstar. His excitement swelled at first ,but quickly turned to chagrin as Tim Watkins knee hit him square in the jaw. The shouts grew hushed as his world faded to black.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Lavagon arena two powerhouses were duking it out to the final bell.
In round one Rancid Pete delivered a back-kick to the head of Dyrewolff and scored a perfect flawless victory .
He stood over his foe looking down at him and "chuckles quietly to himself.
In the second round Dyrewolff pulled himself together and came out swinging in a lightening fast flurry of fists slamming Rancid Pete to the floor in a punch to the temple as he himself scored a flawless victory.
Dyrewolff stood over Rancid Pete with his hands to his throat, "I'm here to kick ass and drink ale, looks like we're all outta ale."
The crowd erupts in a loud burst of laughter as a female goblin scampers out into the arena and shows the crowd her wares. All six of them.
In the 3 and final round between the two, the crowd went wild chanting names back n forth. Rancid Pete was fresh off a victory against the deadly crowd favorite RazyrYR while Dyrewolff had narrowly escapd sure death at the hands of madman Quintangible.
Adrenaline was running rampant as both fighters searched for cracked in the seemingly impenetrable armor. It was Dyrewolf landing the first blow an uppercut that staggered Rancid Pete, the fans were on there feet screaming and pumping their fists as they watched in anticipation. Blood curdling shouts could be heard as Rad2x fell on the other side of the arena and Tim Watkins lifted his arms in victory. "Kill him, Kill him!" Dyrewolf closed in for the kill smelling the sweet scent of another win in the arena. Rancid Pete looked up at the beautiful voluptuous Tia Gloric, he still needed to slap that wench for the antics she had pulled on him the night before. Of course he'd have to go thorugh that eerie looking skeletal warrior people called Slain the Insain but that he figured, could be arranged. It wasn't much, but the tiny flicker of anger sparked him just enough to make a quick parry of Dyrewolff's attack. Dyrewolff thinking the match was over was caught by surprise as the hamlike fist caught him square in the back of the head, he sure hoped they had lot's of Ale where he was going.......
Tim Watkins covered in blood glowers at the heavily muscled laborious breathing Rancid Pete. The smell of death and decay wafted up his nostrils, he wasn't sure if it was the dead sacks of meat littering the arena floor or his opponent. He was certain of one thing however,
it was time to throw down.......

Thank you all so much for participating, I hope you had fun. At the very bottom you can see the full list of winners. As a tribute to Tim and Rancid's dedication we will give both participants first place prizes.
Tim Watkins glared at his opponent staring him down and sizing him up. Rancid Pete just chuckled silently to himself. The chuckle had become a whisper among the fans, the musings and wonderings of the meaning run rampant. Tim Watkins known throughout Darkmyre as a silent deadly killer formed his stance. The crowd knew what was coming, the knew it and they loved it. It would be the only thing Tim would say before during and after the match. The arena dissolves into a silent whisper:
Tia Gloric scoots up on her bench and leans forward to get a better view.
“Click’n ma tok zexity!”
The crowd erupts in a wicked FRENZY as the elvish battlecry is shouted.
The adrenaline explodes and chills run down the spine, fans get pumped and some begin smacking each other around, Lord Vecht shrouded in all black is bumped and spills his ale. He swiftly grabs the offender a small ogre tossing him to his death mere feet away from Tim Watkins. Vecht stealthily nods his battle mace forward to an unseen grounds keeping hiding in the shadows of the arena.
King Valentyne himself stands on the podium near the all time arena great "The King Of Scars" a loud gong sound echoes throughout the arena silencing the crowd once again.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Darkmyre, I have coming seeking a new knight for my cabal. Thus I announce to you that not only will the winner reap my rewards, but he shall also become betrothed to my lovely daughter Elisa."
Best of luck to you both. Let the battle COMMENCE!
The announcement was too much, the crowd could hold back no longer. An equal mixture of death chants supporting both Warriors boomed in unison. Tim Watkins runs towards Rancid Pete closing the gap, he feinted left and attacked right. Rancid Pete, easily parries and spits at Tim. Rancid goes for his famous signature move, knee to the face of Tim. Tim expects it, reaches down in the pile of bones he's standing in and in one swift motion grabs an arrow from the debris and stabs Rancid Pete.
Rancid Pete takes and arrow to the knee.
Tim draws first blood, and as Rancid hobbles backwards snatches up a handful of gold coins and stuffs them into his satchel.
Rancid lets loose a long string of swear words that would make a Darkmyrian sailor blush. He had underestimated Tim Watkins quickness.
he would not do that again. Rancid broke of the arrow down to the skin, it still hurt like
a madman on budifer juice but he had to find an opening.
Tim smelling victory closed in again, this time with a 3 stringed combo, Daggerstrike, Backfist, and Pummel. Rancid took the Daggerstrike to the shoulder but thankfully his leather armor brushed off the blunt of it. Rancid's quickness is unparalleled and he is able to dodge the other two attacks.
Tim Watkins had the advantage.
A beautiful elven maiden tosses a chalice full of pure Elvish spring water on Tim Watkins, the ladies ooh and ahh as the glistening water beads down his muscular build. Tim feels the stamina regenerate throughout his body.
A cyclops hurls an orange at Rancid Pete's knee and connects. Rancid winces in agony, looking up and committing the Cyclops imagery to to his long term memory. He hoped that someone made an extra large eye patch for after the battle that one eyed cyclops would down to naught.
The two combatants exchanged punches, kicks, and blows in such devastating ferocity
they were barely visible to the eye.
Mere feet away from the warriors a black gelatinous ooze bubbled it's way closer, slowly, decidedly.
The warriors were beginning to fatigue. Something had to give and soon. Rancid Pete surveyed the arena floor. Just 2 parkates straight back was an unset trap, a HUGE bear trap. Rancid Pete lunged straight forward at Tim Watkins, Tim a little surprised but guessed the knee was giving out took advantage, shoving his dagger deep into the ribs of Rancid Pete. Rancid Pete shoved Tim hard. Just hard enough as Tim staggered back into the bear trap.
Huge steel maws clamp around
Tim's thigh biting deep into his leg down to the femur, blood spurted filling that section of the arena floor with red slimy life sustenance. Tim's eyes doubled in size as the dark pool opened up it's deadly maw and spewed forth a giant serpent. Under his mask Lord Vecht smiled, Tia clapped with a tenacious fervor.
Rancid Pete limping across the floor to the shouts of satisfied fans was being doused in gold offerings an bouquets of flowers. He couldn't help but think to himself, "great job RP now you are betrothed to one of the ugliest women in all of Darkmyre". Sure King Valentyne thinks his daughter's a maiden but Rancid seeing this gapped teeth, mole faced, buxomless girl disagreed completely.
Oh well, at least he lived to see another day, he earned fame and glory, riches and trust. For that, he chuckled to himself......
