Hey everyone, was sorting through my old computer before I toss it out and I found all my RA2 stuff again. It's nice to see that the community is still around. :D
How is everything nowadays, are people playing online nowadays?
-
Well, I hear the community isn't as active as it used to be, but we're getting ready for the 10th anniversary, so things are picking up
Good to see another oldie back, in any respects. You were the creator of Absolute Spike Defense, yes?
-
hi :D
hardly anyone is playing online anymore, it's all challenges/tournaments and stuff. doesnt mean you cant play online though
-
Yeah, not much online fighting as there was before, but more AI tourneys. And welcome back :D
-
Welcome back, Suzaku. =) I remember Scourge talking about you and Absolute Spike Defense once.
But yeah, community's still going. Not as much online activity as before, though, AI Tournaments are the preferred medium, as they get rid of lag and driver error. It's a purer judgement of combat effectiveness. On the plus side, the 10th Anniversary's coming round, as people have said before, so we're just starting to get a bit geared up for that. Hopefully you'll stick around, though, it's always nice to see an old hand returning.

I made a klone of it, that's why :gawe:

It's sad to hear the community isn't as active anymore, but I'm sure more people will come back soon.
Yep! That takes me back. Absolute Spike Defense is now a type of bot that is now banned in tournaments I hear.
Is acams, bettle, sage, infinite, roboshark, etc. still around?
I stopped playing RA2 after the forums were moved to gametechmods which was like 4-5 years ago?
-
all of those are around, inf hasnt been very active for a little while though
are you going to play ra2 again?

I hope so, yeah. I'm not too active with robot building, never really have been, but I'm trying to get back into it and get my friends into it so the community can boost up a bit again
I wouldn't know about that, but it's certainly a fun type of bot to build
All of that list are pretty active still, except Inert, who came back but went again shortly thereafter
I assume so, but I wasn't around then, so I don't really know. Certainly three or four years ago, yeah

ACAMS owns the site, Click is an admin, Sage and ROBO are around sometimes and inf pops in every once in a while. Click started and runs the biggest AI tournament BBEANS.

It's plenty active at the moment, we've got a good chunk of regular builders, a few tourneys coming up, plus there's always the Bot Of The Month tournament going. =)
And crawlers (ASD's type) are banned in some tournaments, but not all of them. There was a huge row about them when Sage entered Bumble Bee into BBEANS 5.
All of the members you listed, bar inf, are still around. ACAMS runs this place, Click's an Admin, and Sage and R0B0 are two of the best Stock builders at the moment. You can tell they've been around for a while by their Veteran status.

Welcome back.

Hey there. Scrap Daddy's still about too, as well as all the others mentioned, and he's been voted best bot builder this year.

He bribed the judges.
Welcome back Suz.

Heh, I'm not back for good necessarily. I'm just back to see how everyone is doing though I'll try to get RA2 started on my new pc and get some new bots built. :laughing
