The 10 year anniversary of RA2. By then we'd have come a long way blah blah mushy stuff whatever who cares.

Seriously, we need to do something epic for it.

A MUSIC VIDEO

A MEGA TOURNEY

BELUGAMAN VS A MILLION EMERGENCYS

etc

Making this thread now so we have time to plan for whatever epic event that will transpire before we all go braindead due to having no more ideas for RA2 bots.

SO what shall we do?

A REVERSE TOURNEY.

explanation: build the worst bot possible and go against each other, the person to come first is actually the loser, and those who go out in the first rounds are winners.

am i insane?

probably

That's pretty much N00b Warz with different victory requirements.

Not to mention everyone would just build a bot without drive.

Nah man, we need to do something

Like a montage of RA2 milestones or something with cool effects and stuff.

How about a build-a-thon?

How about a MEGA Chinese Whispers - we all send round one bot all day to someone whose online :P

Massive party in the chatterbox?

I can design and print commemorative tee-shirts and make them available on ebay for you all.

Build-fest, start five tournaments at the same time ??

cephalopod · « **Reply #8 on:** May 30, 2012, 04:32:08 AM »

Make special 'commemorative' versions of all the major RA2 tournaments, all to be released that day? I mean, for the tourneys run by people who aren't around anymore, someone else could do them. I'd volunteer to do one of either my own or an old-school one, I doubt my own are really big enough, and a mini-RIMP wouldn't work :P

martymidget · « **Reply #9 on:** May 30, 2012, 04:35:05 AM »

A tournament each for the 3 main weightclasses for both Stock and DSL, but ran by different people, would be cool. 32 spots each could be filled, right? :L

Thyrus · « **Reply #10 on:** May 30, 2012, 04:46:11 AM »

a recap of the game and its community. with the old forum and this rfshw stuff and all the grudhes and stuff i don't get.. and gtm of course (the most important thing happening there was me joining as everyone knows)

I had an idea that an RA2 10th Anniversary Pack could be made, with some of the most recognisable, successful and innovative bots of the past ten years, maybe with some arenas of the same nature too. Not too sure which bots would go into it, though, but I think it should definitely be Stock, DSL didn't come along until a few years later.

mwb, rbb, emergency, project trinity (properly ai'd this time), tempus fugit, tha tumperizer, etc.

Naryar · « **Reply #14 on:** May 30, 2012, 06:20:06 AM »

One day seems a bit limited though. Maybe we should do an anniversary week ?

also I fully intend to post 20 bots in my showcase that day.

Anyone else has some ideas as to what could be added, let me know. =)

We could delete all of our RA2 files and destroy any hard copies still floating around to comemorate how outdated the game is.

Nah, but seriously, the video of milestone, breakthroughs, and just plain epic moments sounds like a good plan. I don't think it should be a one-person job, though.

Could have the original Drumblebee, as well as Drumblebee 5, I suppose. Maybe some of the Stock BotM winners.
