Title: A New BOTM, Going Forwards
Post by: FOTEPX on July 06, 2018, 09:27:19 AM
From now on, an end-of-month poll is only going to take place if the meta has FIVE or more robots built within it in a month. Wanna support your meta? Get stuck in and support it.

If you want, you can tag a bot you showcase for this and all subsequent months as being your BOTM entry - just put some text in somewhere letting me know, or, send me the bot you want to use for it on the 25th. It'll save me a lot of hassle, thanks.

Also, I'm taking name suggestions for what to name this thing! IMO, "A New BOTM" just sounds clunky. Feel free to suggest some names below!

Should just be called BOTM and replace the other one in my opinion. To make up for this however, I do have an idea: the "Challenge" category. Basically, like the current BOTM, a theme or challenge is put forward and robots are submitted for that like every other meta/category. I'll admit the idea is flawed but I just figured I'd say it for people to think about.

Showcase Of The Month? That’s what they’re all being taken from.

Can't do that because of the way things are ATM. Trust me, if I could, I would.

That's implying that the entire showcase is the best for that month, when what people are voting on is individual bots.

It's why this needs sorting...having 2 BOTMs is just annoying.

Oh, one more update to this, before I forget - CAD is getting it's own section! For now, It'll be a part of "Replicas & Custom", making it into "Replicas, CAD & Custom", but if it really takes off, it could become it's own category!

if you have a meta that noone else joins, e.g asbestosstar evento mod, can you enter multiple bots?

an end-of-month poll is only going to take place if the meta has FIVE or more robots built within it in a month.

Every person can enter -one- bot, per meta. If a meta can get 5 or more builders behind it, then it'll have it's own voting block - if not, it'll be lumped in with the catch-all of Custom.
