This is a review thread of whats happened to you, most important stuff in the last year (end of season 1 was the Joeblo DVD joke)
-
I joined the forum in April.
-
ORLY
-
Well, I've got a good list here-
- Earned my first Championship (Metal Mayhem)
- Took Third Place in Replica Wars Series 1 and US vs UK (Tied with Scrap Daddy in the latter case)
- Became Superheavyweight
- Obtained and maintained a reputation over 10 for almost a year
- Beat Jonzu, Joeblo and The Ounce in BTTB2 to take the eighth ranking
- Took Fifth Place in Replica Wars 2
- Enjoyed several bouts of good-natured trolling with Nary, NFX, Jonzu and Thyrus
- Found myself a friendly rival in NFX
- Became a mentor to a new user
- Derailed at least a Junkyard's worth of threads
So yes, 'twas quite a successful year, overall :beer:
-
Ranking second in BBEANS6, Accumulating 5000 posts, getting Wafflez and 027 to join the forums, and running TTT and RW2.
-
I've got a rubbish list:
-Nothing
-...
-Absolutely nothing.
-
I was playing mind games on Jonzu with pictures and videos.
-
Helping out numerous tourneys, running 3 of my own, coming second in three tourneys and placing 6th in BBEANS 6 I guess...
-
I've updated mine slightly, with info on BTTB2 and RW2.
-
Nope, mine's still 'Nothing'.
-
Got back into the forums around mid-April, started building again. Learning the tricks of the trade, glitches, skinning, AI, arena reskinning, .txt file editing and such. Just generally being a nice guy around the boards most times, offering an opinion on some things. Won my first tourney, Total Annihilation, a couple months ago, following that up in October with a BOTM win. Started a friendly rivalry with GF93, getting to the final in RW2, which he didn't (Ha ha. :gawe:) and more or less trying to enjoy my time here. =D
-
For me...
- Joining The Forums
- Creating the Incredibly Famous "Bulldozer" series of bots
- RA2 Team Championships
- Turning the forum into a base of Explosion supporters
- Increasing my Stock building skill massively
- Increasing my DSL building skill massively
- Becoming Robot Rumble champion for the second year running
- Outsmarting G.K. about UK robotics :P
- Coming fourth in two tournaments
- Learning that arena walls are a pain :P
- Forming a friendly rivalry with marty, (Bulldozer 5 awaits...)
- Officially owning the best UK robot on GTM :D
By the way, when do the GTM awards come around?
-
I lfet and came back 8 times.
-

The first part was definitely one of my more memorable moments on the forums this year :beer:
But the part on RW2 did indeed happen, but made me sad :ermm:
-
I faked my own death...
Does that count?
-
For me... - Outsmarting G.K. about UK robotics
Up for a knowledge challenge
-
I won my first battle.
-
I faked my own death...
Does that count?
I think so, along with being resurrected three days later :rolleyes:
-
For me... - Outsmarting G.K. about UK robotics
Up for a knowledge challenge
About current UK robotics, oh yes :P
-
Ok, make a seperate thread and lay down the challenge of our knowledge
-
I'm in, though I know much less about the modern stuff than the Robot Wars stuff, where I'd say only 4 people in the world know more then I do D:.

I know quite a bit about Robot Wars too, so I'll be in :beer:
-
Ok, make a seperate thread and lay down the challenge of our knowledge
I'm confused now, are you in aswell?
Anyway, we need a question master
-
Then it is set
VEVO vs Vertigo vs GK vs GF93 in a test of uk robotics modern knowledge, ill go and make a thread
-
LOL. I'm going to put my money on GK, unfortunately.
I know...not that much, to be honest. I know a few of the more obscure bots in the televised series.
-
was a boss
-
Ok the threads been made
-
Well I found this forum based around a rather obscure and old game (that turns out to still be brilliant) that was filled with quite awesome people :mrgreen:
Oh, and I joined this site aswell :p
Also I loled at scrap daddy
-
I'm going to put my money on GK, unfortunately.
Why this?

I meant unfortunately relating to the other people. Vertigo'd have my money for the newer generations.
-
What are my odds?
-
The same odds of me getting AIDS in the next week, quite moderate

Depends on what you do in the next week, surely? Or, more accurately, who you do in the next week.

-
Well...
Won my first (unofficial) challenge match (Epic Showdown).
Became a major contributor to NAR AI.
Emerged as a top builder in DSL and a fairly good builder in stock (but despite this have received little or no recognition for my work, or so it seems to me...).
Gave helpful advice to new members.
Built arguably the wedgiest stock bot in existence.
Tried and failed at RPing in the Story Time thread.
Was chosen for the Backlash AI Team.
and biggest of all, winning both a singles and tag team tournament in both Stock and DSL.
There's probably more that I've done this year, and I'll add them if I find any.
-
wasted 1/3 of my year on here XD
also
-Won 5 BOTM's
-Won 2 Tournaments
was a bonus..

Err...
I won RIP and UK vs USA, co-won WTT, got runner-up in RIP2 and BBEANS6.
And some other cool stuff as well. XD

Replica Wars - Best Replica
Replica Wars 2 - Best Looking
RA2 Trials - Grand Champion
RA2 Trials 2 - Grand Champion again (woot!)

I wondered that too :P
I pictured a salesman "we have Gravity, Gravity and more Gravity"
-
I pictured a salesman "we have Gravity, Gravity and more Gravity"
BUY ONE, TAKE ONE!
BUY THREE, YOU GET A FREE BLACK HOLE!
BUY SIX, AND YOU CAN DESTROY THE WHOLE SOLAR SYSTEM!
-
Lol, I can explain. There were 6 versions of Gravity in total, and WJ (the builder) wanted me to do a melee featuring the various incarnations, so I made 3 other versions of Gravity specifically for that battle.
-
Hmm... let's see...
- Hosted 2 Tournaments. (CombatAnts 2 & Metal Mayhem)
- Unlucky and Lucky in some Tournaments... (CC3, BBEANS6, Metal Mayhem & Replica Wars 3)
- Hosted some other tournaments. (GTMvision 2010 & 3, GTM GeneRally RallyCross Championship, few COTT's. And few seasons of Robot Smash.)
- Created 269 entries to GRRC.
- My favourite car changed from Ford Puma to Ford Fiesta RS.
- Got my first warning because I posted Furry porn picture.
- Complaining in Story Time...
- Complaining about of Reputation Rating...
- Complaining about I never won anything... Wait a sec... I actually Was unofficial winner of WTT... But that wasn't real tournament win..
- Complaining...
- Complaining...
- Compla... Enough!
Any other ideas?
-
I seriously can't think of any achievements for me.
-
You joined GTM!
-
Hm...yeah, but does that really count as an achievement?
-
I managed to take the lead of the arcade scoreboards for a few days. I'd forgotten about that until yoda mentioned it.
-
On that topic, I was the first to use the arcade once ACAMs installed it. =D
Just to confirm that we are a DVD season tingy,
I am going to have the cancel RA2:Backlash..... *reads script* who wrote this rubbish? 4 cancels in one day.. seriously.. stupid writers
-
I havnt had much success in RA2 tournaments this year.
-
I've played incredibots... :D
-
-Did good in BBEANS
-Flamed people
-Made new friends on GTM thanks to XBox
-
*should be season 6*
:gawe:
-
I stand by my decision
-
I joined.
-
You trolled
-
He trolled sparkeys ass it was hilarious
-
He joined, he trolled, he trolled Sparks.
-
He came, he saw, he joined in. =D
-
Damn it NFX, I was just going to say he came, he saw, he trolled!
-
He came he saw, he trolled sparks, i laugh
The cricle is complete lol
-
But even still, we've all ended up referencing a well-known ruler of the Roman Empire :P
-
Julius Ceasar: The man who erm..... nevermind
GF93: quotes the obvious
VEVO: the strange minded-ass kicking comedian who is a mad asshat
-
GTM, the home of history, culture and RAZORZ
-
You can totally change the meaning of that famous quote. Just change the order: 'I saw, I conquered, I...'
Yeah.
-
Et tu, Brutus?
-
I've tried to stop trolling.
-
Julius Caesar, what an old geezer, had a big nose and he called it a sneezer. =D
-
But even still, we've all ended up referencing a well-known ruler of the Roman Empire :P
Wrong!
JC never ran the Roman Empire, which wasn't formed until Octavian became Augutus and decided to become Emperor. Before, Ceaser ran the Roman Republic.
-
G.K., shut your pedantic mouth. WE DON'T CARE!
-
G.K., shut your pedantic mouth. WE DON'T CARE!
Was there any need for that over the top rage?
-
-Won RW2
-Only bot to beat Infection 4 in BBEANS apart from DoA
-Most off-topic showcase (Official title)

^Is it just me, or has that pic gotten smaller?
Don't forget the flaming Natef, there was a lot of that too.
-
That goes under flaming, I think.
-
I came.
He saw, he conquered.
-
That goes under flaming, I think.
Depends who's flaming and what their motives are ;P
-
Yeah, let's recap what drama we saw this year, shall we?
-FOTEPX's fetish and trolling
-The RP'ing scare
-Users accusing others of killing the forum
-A lot of things regarding Sparky
That's all I can think of right now.
-
There was also the MKB incidents.

I haven't done much...

"Aaah! Johnny! Somebody!"
I wonder if I was the only one who laughed when I first saw that scene? :P
-
Don't supose you saw guru larry's review of that then?
-
Yeah. I reviewed it too.
-
Don't supose you saw guru larry's review of that then?
I haven't, but now that you mention it, I'll check it out.
-
He's also done a review of another PSA film like it, can't remember the name of it, but if anything that film's even more gory :evilsmile:
-
"The Finishing Line".
I'm working on a review of "Building Sites Bite".
-
That was it, the finishing line, I forgot for some reason.
I'd heard of that one before, and apaches, but never building sites bite...
-
Yeah, it's harder to find.
-
I've seen The Finishing Line as well.
That kid has one ****ed up imagination.
-
I've seen The Finishing Line as well.

And let me guess- there'll be an event involving throwing debris at passing trains.
-
Yep, we're gonna aim for that train in your sig, so we may end up hitting you by accident, although I'm sure you won't mind.
