I voted for Number Four. Mostly because that tank was invented in my hometown :approve:
-
I gotta go with the best-looking. That's #1.
-
Voted for #1, although it's obvious as to who made it.
-
I'm going for 2, mostly because I was going to build a trinity helicopter aswell but couldn't be bothered.
-
I voted for #1. Looks the best, in my view.
-
4 entries, that's an awfully low turn-up.
-
I was gonna enter but got disracted. Plus I couldn't make what I was hoping to. (Flak Trak from Red Alert 2)
-
4 entries, that's an awfully low turn-up.
It was tricky criteria so I imagine most people tried something, and gave up half-way through like I did.
-
Yeah, This was actaully quite a tricky BOTM to come up with a workable idea for this time around.
-
:O I want to kiss whoever made number 1.
-
I am guessing the first bot was built by JoeBlo
-
I voted 3
-
And I was planning to enter with a Churchill Crocodile, but it didn't turn out how I wanted, so I scrapped it.
-
I voted 4
-
I am guessing the first bot was built by JoeBlo
No, actually I didnt build it,
Also is the flame spike used on number 3 cheatbot? I thought it was lu-tze.
-
I tried to come up with something but I didn't have the time to build anything good so I didn't enter this one.
I voted for 3
-
I was supposed to build the Gatling Tank from C&C: Generals, but I forgot about it. HAHAHAHAHA
#1 lolz
-
I only have one Qu. Does #1 really work like does it shoot?
-
From what I can see, those look like neon green drums with dark grey flipper segments around them.
-
It would be cool though if they worked. I like my range weapons. (I'm now the person at my youth group were all the "exstert" call a spammer in super smash melee with Samus)
-

Well this BOTM does not allow custom components, so it probably can't shoot.
-
hmmm.... #3
:O I want to kiss whoever made number 1.
Stop screwing with yourself, please
I was supposed to build the Gatling Tank from C&C: Generals, but I forgot about it.
AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO BUILD THE DRAGON TANK FROM C&C GENERALS BUT I FORGOT ABOUT IT TOO AHAHAHAHAHA
-
Voted for 3
-
3 Gets my vote...

4 people who didn't/couldn't enter a C&C thing... Awesome!
-
Stop screwing with yourself, please
you seem pretty determined, I didnt build anything this month...
actually...
*runs off to old BOTM thread*
#3: ... Who built that? I want to hug him.
you wrote that about YOUR OWN entry in a previous BOTM...
----
I still question the use of Lu-Tze Flamethrower spikes on number 3 too...
-
Number 3 is illegal.
-
#3: ... Who built that? I want to hug him.
Standard villain's procedure.
-
Number 3 is illegal.
If one little spike is all you can find wrong with it.....then it must be an awesome bot! Several others have "bent" the rules in the past, and I don't really know how he did that, but it looks good.
I am going to accept it as it is.
Not to say that you guys can start cheating all the time and get away with it either....next time it may get kicked!

I don't know for sure that he used custom parts.
(http://bp0.blogger.com/_kDoyvibiZag/R2kfOv6rdpI/AAAAAAAABNw/l8YqAjfeIEU/s320/BurnsExcellentSticker.jpg)
You have already been in one controversy over the use of possible illegal parts, and we let yours stand!
-
difference is you put cheatbot2 allowed in the rules :yaya)
I don't know for sure that he used custom parts.
those flamethrower spikes on the wings came from Lu-Tze's components pack, most likely got mixed up with a NarAI user since Nary introduced them.
but I dont really care that much, just pointing out the fact we have someone who likes to go against the rules :P
-
just pointing out the fact we have someone who likes to go against the rules :P
Not even sure. Did the guy actually read the rules before entering, did he forgot the custom component rule in total innocence, or did he just said "screw the rules I has coolness factor" ?
And does he even LIKED to break it if he was conscious about breaking a rule ?
-
honestly I didnt pay much attention to what you just said but I did laugh at this...
"screw the rules I has coolness factor" ?
-
Good. A true villain has to maintain a relatively good PR, after all.
-
I choose 4. Because it's the most historical.
-
What are the glowing cannon beams on #1 and the gun on #4 made of?
-
number fours got my vote, I love thoose old tanks
-

My guess, small drums like pwn said and cheatbot flamethrowers
-

Same here. I hate to go off topic, but ever heard of the Tsar Tank?

Reminds me of a Penny-Farthing.

I just soiled myself.
-
It is awesome, isn't it?
-
i partually forgot about this, next to my ideas having been bad. seeing the stuff entered here, i wouldn't have made a chance anyway. #1 looks so freaking awesome!
-
Congratulations to 123savethewhales & JoeBlo with #1 SIEGE TANK
Second place went to Noodle with #4 Mark I
#2 was J24 and #3 was NFX
-
thanks to all who voted and big shout out to 123 on this one.
He is the master craftsman behind this awesome creation, so I wasn't lying when I said I didnt build anything..
He also made the cool glowing small drums, then I pretty much skinned everything else and made the splash.
Awesome job buddy hope you didn't take that kiss thing to seriously :P
PS. all my guesses for who built what were all off too :P I thought Noodle for number 3 and Clickbeetle for number 4 (seemed like his kind of thing to make something historic.. I dont know why)
-
Congratulations, Joe. =D There's no stopping you, is there?
I'd just like to explain that I made my entry in NAR AI 2.3, in which the Flamethrowing Spike is in the weapons list as normal. I didn't think I'd win anyway when I saw the rest of the entries, certainly not with #1. Well done to the rest of the entries as well, Noodle and J24. It was a surprisingly low turnout, I thought. Hopefully next month'll see more entries, what with it being Christmas and all.

*reads joey's post*
*grunts*

*attempts not to rant*

That does it.
WHAT ???
-
now you've done it joeblo.
on topic: congrats joe and 123!
-
dont worry there is still plenty of love for you Nary. :heart_smiley:
Congratulations, Joe. =D There's no stopping you, is there?
Its really more 123's victory then mine, I was in it for the fun and also the Starcraft :P
I have had my 2 years on top but I think its going to start to change, people are getting to used to my style so its harder and harder to keep fresh, also other members are catching up no doubt too (your developing as quite a good BOTM builder / threat yourself NFX)
-
He also made the cool glowing small drums, then I pretty much skinned everything else and made the splash.
So, is that a custom made part not usually in DSL?
-
Congratulations to 123savethewhales & JoeBlo with #1 SEIGE TANK
It's siege tank, not seige tank

Yes.
-

That would be taking the DSL Small Drum
changing the BMP to a green colour
and messing about with a some of the skin settings in the GMF to make it have a glowing effect (I admit, I dont know how to do it myself but 123 manages to make cool skins with shines, reflections, transparency and all that other stuff)
-
Reskinned components aren't really custom components, in my view. Not as long as they've got the same values of HP, DP, grip, torque, electotal, etc. as the normal ones. The skirt hinge burst motor that's going around, that's custom, because you've actually had to edit the .txt file, whereas a reskin job you could, theoretically, just change the map. Even though it doesn't quite work like that.
-
Bollocks, I was winning for a short time too.
On the other hand, I did a lot better than I should have. That entry was a last minute attempt that I more or less threw together in a few minutes. Good job Joe with the win.
I will win one of these!
-
Can we see a picture of the unskinned Siege Tank? I want to see how its built.
Also congrats Joe/123

No worries, your Mark 1 "Landship" was definitely the next best thing, and got my vote for sure. Did you know that the first of those tanks were originally built in my hometown? :approve:
-
Thanks for voting for #1.

I may start ranting....JB was griping about a measly little spike, and you GMF edited the whole damn bot......RULES WILL BE MORE STRICT IN THE FUTURE!!!!!!
:embarr AND my bot inspection!!!! :embarr
-
So you are banning reskin components now?
Though I would say that's an unfair assessment given my version on custom showcase isn't even submitted for BOTM.
As long as reskinning is allow, I can reskin every single component and not break a single rule. Whereas 1 spike is still breaking the rule because it is entirely a custom component.
-
You made a drum into a firing cannon.
Skinning components will always be allowed!
If all you did was reskin the drum and make it look like a cannon....what I assumed, then all is OK!!!
-
Next year, we will be voting on the bot file some of the time.....NEVER on a custom bot tho.

The version Joe send in is a reskin drum.
The version I put up afterward is modded into a cannon, which isn't a BOTM.
