Simple thing to get the ball rolling again: Why not simply make the next BOTM a free-for-all type thing? No rules, just submit whatever the hell you want. Failing that, why not an extended deadline, or other incentives such as a badge system similar to RA2's kill points, which indicates how many BOTMs you've participated in.

Sounds good to me

What happened to BOTM?

In a nut-shell, lack of interest.

We should, honestly, have a BOTM where you have to make a robot look like another member or ACAMS.

I'm in for that.

who cares if it has been done ? It'll be a funny way to start BOTM again.

Even funnier when good ol ACAMS happens on it and posts in the thread.

Could we not, in theory, just start BOTM again but make every month a whatever-goes? So basically everybody votes on their favourite build that was submitted - I'm pretty sure a lot of builders would enter if there's less pressure.

KOS · « **Reply #333 on:** April 13, 2014, 06:56:47 AM »

I like that idea, then we would get variety from stock and dsl.

Thyrus · « **Reply #334 on:** April 15, 2014, 11:47:33 AM »

or we actually have a bot of the month where we vote for the best bot posted in a showcase

i think this is a cool idea

cephalopod · « **Reply #337 on:** April 15, 2014, 12:21:27 PM »

The only flaw with this is people would have to remember when things were posted etc... it'd place too much on the voter, and I don't mean to sound awful, but people won't vote if there's effort involved :P

Sometimes sounding awful is the only way to get the point across.

We could get a BOTM mod that would compile pictures of showcased bots every week.
