game is losing the fun-factor again due to lack of community.

[Team 9]

GTM and RA2 will be around for years to come, i wouldn't fret over it.

[Sylandro]

I mainly play RA2 because: A = It's fun. B = I like making bots. C = I friggin love Robot Combat.

Why I am losing interest again:

*0 help on the new AW AI pack.
*1 team for the GTM AI pack.
*No feedback on the new RA2RPG boss set-up, barely any on the general topic. Because it'll never work, thus it is only fantasy therefore is pointless
*12 views on the Robo Zone 2 final video.
*My completed Robo Zone 2 tournament topic has almost 1000 less views then nary's 1 round so far tournament (roughly 2 hours vs 33 mins total video time).

^ People aren't interested in the stuff I am waaaa

1. What do you want to see more of? Stock SNSs
2. Why don't you comment much? (ignore if you do). Out of playground? Because I'm not an RA2 expert and I hardly ever play the game
3. Where do you spend most of your time on the forum? Playground
4. Do you watch tournament videos that don't feature your own bot? Nope
5. Why don't you enter BOTM? Because I would fail
6. How many AI packs do you have? 3 or 4
7. Do you play stock, DSL or both? Stock, a little DSL
8. What have you given to the community? Nothing at all.

[NFX]

1. I'd like to perhaps see some more tournaments like Steel Warzone, or Robot Wars Series 8. Ones that give each mod a new set of rules to play with, so we see new designs and components being used in different ways.
2. Either because I don't have enough knowledge of the subject being discussed, or my girlfriend is being particularly aggressive.
3. Predominantly Showcases and Off Topic. Plus Tournaments because, y'know. I'm a moderator.
4. For the most part, yes. I'll admit that I tend not to watch tournaments that I haven't entered, though.
5. Either lack of ideas or my aggressive girlfriend.
6. I have five AI packs. Stock, DSL, Starcore V4a, NAR AI 2.3 and 2.7. Used to have both BBEANS AI packs, but deleted them due to space constraints, and the lack of a challenge from earlier bots, such as Seasons 1 and 2.
7. Both. Depends on which ideas I happen to get, or what tournaments are running.
8. I like to think some good times and a friendly atmosphere, first and foremost, plus a good selection of challenging robots, and maybe pushing the building envelope a little bit. Not as much as other members, but I've played a part, I reckon.

2.
3.Tourney's
4.yup
5.No skills in paint or photoshop
6.40-50 somewhere in that range.
7.both and other mods as well.
8.Tournaments and entries for tournaments I think are interesting.

[madman3]

I get involved when tourneys happen. There have been too many tourneys with a minimal range of potential participants. A large stock MW (like 090901's) or HW, or just a good HW tourney helps to keep this game's momentum going. AW isn't used much, so while you may claim it as a point of originality it's just as much a deterrent from joining tournaments. The advantage of tourneys like Steel Warzone, BTTB and Nary's is that they're honestly not that hard to build for.

8. What have you given to the community?

1. More tournaments without a stupid gimmick. Simple tournaments to build for generally get more people building for them. IRL, Standard or Unrealistic, usable weightclasses, or tag team. Don't tack too much on.
2. Because not much is happening in the building world. Make a tournament that will attract people easily and people will build moar.
3. Music and movies, showcases, tournaments.
4. Not often.
5. Because this isn't the Paint.NET competition centre
6. 5: Starcore, Nar AI, 123STW AI, Psy AI, BBEANS AI (stock version)
7. DSL mainly. Stock is a little too time consuming and aggravating.
8. A bot type, a few new building ideas, not much else. I'd try a tournament but I'd have to run an ultra ghetto setup and I'd rather run a tournament well.

1. BBEANS Tournaments & DSL3
2. -
3. Tournaments, Games & Chatterbox
4. Sometimes, Depends...
5. I enter to some, those which interest me. (AW-MW)
6. Atleast 7 (DSL & Stock BBEANS AI's, Stock Mini AI, StarCore AI, Pys AI DSL & Stock Vanilla AI)
7. Both for sure.
8. Great Tournaments and Forum games.

[GroudonRobotWars]

1. People entering tournaments
2. -
3. Tournaments and Games
4. Sometimes
5. Don't have much time or real intrest, I would rather see what others have built
6. About 6 or 7
7. Both
8. Robotic International Wars tournament series, KORWS4 and an upcoming AI Pack.

8. What have you given to the community?

1. Mods. Something for me to actually do that's different.
2. Because I only really comment in the showcase section and tournaments, and the showcases haven't been that active lately.
3. Showcases and Tournaments.
4. If I like one or more of the bots involved, yes. Otherwise, no.
5. I've entered it once, and I think my splash skills showed I shouldn't.
6. Lets see.. 123 AI, NAR AI, SC4, Inf AI, Pys AI, Stock BBEANS AI, the AI for my tournament and my own little AI pack going on. Might dl a IRL pack and have a IRL DSL game instead of lumping all my IRL bots on one team of my standard..
7. Both, but primarily DSL.
8. Couple teams in Nar AI, a really awful bot type that nobody builds, a tournament that will be finished, a more interesting tourney idea afterwards (if I feel like it), and I want to think general good advice giving in showcases and a few interesting bots.

I can see where you are coming from, , I even left for a while, only really coming back to see some stuff as i got relatively bored (as well as a bit angry cause of the external stuffing up). Im pretty sure I don't even have my copies of RA2 anymore..

[Trovaner]

1. What do you want to see more of?
Productive general discussion of RA2. Bots don't really interest me as much as they used to but I'm always looking for cool ideas, discoveries, etc. That said, I also like seeing stock tournaments and new mods (the latter is of the most interest to me).

2. Why don't you comment much? (ignore if you do).
Though I usually check the forum once a day, there hasn't been enough RA2 discussion that interests me. I've been involved with RA2 for many years but I've never commented much.

3. Where do you spend most of your time on the forum?
I tend to skim through the Stock showcases and read the commentary in the sections that I moderate.

4. Do you watch tournament videos that don't feature your own bot?
If it is in stock, I usually watch it but thats only when I have time and remember that it is there.

5. Why don't you enter BOTM?
I don't enter unless I have enough time and interest.

6. How many AI packs do you have?
I don't remember off hand but there are too many IMO.

7. Do you play stock, DSL or both?
Stock. DSL is cool but I've never been much for it.

8. What have you given to the community?
Not much.

I can understand that.
