Title: BOTM Nov 2014
Post by: Trovaner on October 01, 2014, 12:05:25 AM
Alright, we're bringing this back.

Since its been awhile, I'll just quickly go over how this works. Every participant creates a bot that follows the given bot restrictions for that month. They then create a simple splash for their bot and uploaded it to GTM's BOTM Uploader before the deadline expires. After the deadline expires, a poll will be created for the community to vote on their favorite entry. At the end of the month, the splash with the most votes will be put on GTM's homepage for a month.

The parallel of DSL-Standard, I believe, using the same building rules as that.

It happened quicker than I thought. I'm gonna miss this one though, since Ironforge Isn't my thing.

I always thought Ironforge was a strange hybrid of DSL-S and IRL, especially considering the AI teams in it.

I'll sit this out if it's pure Standard, I think. But good to see this is making a comeback.

The AI bots in Ironforge are supposed to be IRL so they are [somewhat] easy for n00bs.
Nobody said you can't enter IRL bots either, as the follow all the guidlines of a normal bot (aka no intersecting parts and stuff like that)

I'm probably still going to avoid entering anything to prevent such posts as 'ermahgerd why is there IRL tainting my DSL-S'.

If you feel more comfortable with IRL than just do it. You would get far more complaints if it was unrealistic and you entered an IRL bot. I chose this style because I figured that it would give the best turn out.

Less than a week and a half before the poll gets started so please try to get your entries in before the deadline.

Not much time left. Be sure to get your entries in before the deadline.
