ACAMS wins BOTM

If nobody entered, MR TEST said he was going to make an entry!

But the winner ... I am not going to say who it is just yet, entered last week, so MR TEST was off the hook.

...Nobody actually entered this?
I feel sorry for not coming up with an entry; I'm sorry, 'Camsy.

By any chance, can we re-do this, then?

Nah guys the RA2 community is fine, don't do anything.

So are we going to continue denying that this game is dying or what? The number of people who have been entering BOTM's has been slowly decreasing, and now we're at one entrant (who is probably ACAMS anyway.) At this rate I honestly can't see this game having more than a year or two left in it.

I'm just waiting for a tournament. At this rate I might make one.

Please do.

I blame the theme. For me at least this wasn't one I could have "Fun" with due to it's limiting nature. Credit to whoever it was for actually entering though.

Hey, I proposed a tournament and no one seemed too bothered about it. You included. If you want a tournament then it's nice to at least go "Sounds cool, might enter." or "How about x weightclass instead" or something. That way you're helping shape something you might like to enter and the host feels like it's worthwhile for it to go ahead.

I blame the theme too. Train theme just didn't interest me.

Noodle · « **Reply #14 on:** January 28, 2013, 11:44:06 AM »

It's definitely both (the theme and the dead community). For instance, I remember back when I made this:

Even with people still making BoTM's on a regular basis, I believe that particular "tank themed" contest got 3 entries. These sorts of BoTMs are never popular, I don't know why ACAMS decided it was a good idea to do this.

As for the community, well we all know it's pretty much ****ed. I've given it some thought and I was gonna write up this big post about whats wrong with the community and how to fix it, but I genuinely don't give a enough of a **** (and I don't think anyone else does, for that matter).

If you want more BoTM entries, one thing you can try is offering some sort of prize for the winner. One good idea would be to let the winner of one month's BoTM pick the theme for the next one.

Hey guys let's all now just say how much the community is dying when we are doing nothing to stop it from dying.

Why bother?

Wanna create a new game? It's not good enough if it doesn't have soft body physics that don't exist yet.

Wanna create a new mod? Good luck finding documentation on how to mod the game.

Wanna create a new bot? Everything's been done already, unless you do IRL (which is a complete waste of time). Either way most people don't care.

Wanna create a new tournament? Few will enter.

The problem is with the community as a whole, and it's not going to be fixed by one singular person.

Damn, if only I'd known this was going on.

I wanted to join this BOTM... but with all my sincerity I was afraid of winning again.....
