They tend to only really look up to those who have the higher titles. And ever since I became a Superheavy, I've always wanted to be one of those people- someone whom newer users can look up to and respect, whom I can take under my wing to help improve on GTM and RA2 in general. I have heard from several that I do have potential in doing so with elements including my apparent wit, charm, knowledge and charisma on the forums. The only problem is, how? How will I get these newer users to notice me? In my current state, it's quite difficult to do so. It's just that there are so many SHWs on the forum now, that it's no longer a really distinctive honour to have- more or less average joes to them, really. At the same time, newer users are told time and time again to "Only trust those with the coloured usernames", which makes it harder for them to trust you. Then finally, there's that matter of 75% on the Watch-O-Meter. Again, that really doesn't help- it makes me look like part of GTM's criminal underworld, ergo blending me in down further. Alongside my reasons stating recognition for what I have contributed to GTM, I also feel that without it, it's generally very hard to actually get them to trust them, when they won't tell you the time of day because you don't have a coloured username.Become a good builder/run tournaments/make cool mods?

I will never be an AU, so I don't care about it that much.

3) Maybe once I get a bit of practise in building and AIing in, this might be worth a look- a stock version of the DSL pack (IE. Improved original Stock AI, with whole new teams and other things) might be a good idea. That, and graphic design might need to be a factor as well, in redesigning the UI.
