BOTM Jan 2015

[RedAce]

I probably shouldn't say anything, but I'd be okay with IRL into a DSL BOTM unless it's aimed strictly for DSL-S bots. Take a look at the Ironforge BOTM we had a month back. It was Ironforge Standard and there were some bots I could classify as IRL, but no one really cared. It's only an issue in DSL-S tournaments because the IRL bots don't fit and can be classified as"Bye-bots." The same can be said about IRL tournaments, but the only difference it that the DSL-S bot in an IRL tourney would considered "unfair."


I think I've pissed some people off now, so I probably should stop typing now.

Hit the nail on the head.

90% of IRL bots I've made break the standard rules in some way, yet still class as IRL.

Doesn't really matter in a voting contest unless you spend hours checking every possible nook and cranny of the splash.

Agreed with both RedAce and Marty :P

For anyone who is still holding out, there is less than a week left before the poll starts.
