Title: Ra2 Member Hall of Fame
Post by: GroudonRobotWars on January 13, 2011, 08:12:52 PM
I know we have a robot hall of fame but how about a hall of fame for members. Do you think it would be a good idea, every year we could induct 5 members in to the hall of fame.


I will start this idea if 10 people chose yes.

I rather say we have a robot hall of fame.

What I mean is 1 hall of fame for robots and another hall of fame for members. So two different hall of fames.

Without commenting on whether this is a good idea or not, there already arises an issue. If we elect 5 people every single year eventually everybody will be a member...

Sounds like another popularity contest to me, with the biggest effect being people bawwing about not being a part of it.

The number itself isn't the problem, it's the fact that regardless of what that number is, eventually everybody will be inducted even if it's one person every year.

(There was a post that this was responding to, but the author of it deleted it.

I think robot  hall of fame would be a better choice.

I also meant members of the original Ra2 forums and GTM.

Lu-Tze better be in it no mater what. It would be wrong for her to not be.

I agree with others that we should update our current ROBOT Hall of Fame.

Post by: RedSawn on January 14, 2011, 09:08:14 AM
We kind of have it already in practical use on "Notable Members" page of the wiki. I'd agree with all of the listings there except various stock/DSL builders and tournament hosts.

Probably best, I agree with the majority here, it'll probably just cause more BAAAAW ing.

What about doing it, one part for active people and another for inactive or dead people (see what I'm talking about), and temp banning ANYONE who starts BAWWWing (with warning people about it of course) ?

And this is a popularity contest anyways.

I don't think we should select a certain number of members for induction at a certain time in the year. I think we should be able to put anyone up for nomination at any time. If they have actually done a significant amount to keep either the forums or RA2 alive and developing in some way, then they could be considered.

But then again, if I did it the way Solid Snake did so in the first Super Smash Brothers Brawl trailer, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing-

It would be if you turned out to be Ben Collins.

Back on topic, I refer you to my previous suggestion of anyone at any time, provided they've done something of major significance.

We have AU and Vet categories that are decided upon by staff agreements now..

Then we just need to call notable members no longer on here "Legends" like we spoke about before, Dark Rat, Lu-Tze, eFFe, etc..

then the "rank" on wiki pages does the rest..
