This deserves a reply. What is so bad about our community?You claim there is no free choice and that the community is elitist. I don't really understand what you mean. You can build whatever you want, it's just that showcasing really bad bots (unless the look really cool) is generally not liked by the community because it makes it seem like they have no desire to improve, thus it seems like a waste of time for them to have a showcase. You also claim that this community will scare off any newcomers. This is clearly false, as the community has seen a recent increase in members.
tl;dr stop comparing every bad robot to one of his.

The "preventing free choice" started as SOON as item stats were released, and some were called outright "BETTER". You can't use things like the grog axe any more, which while oversized, is fun to use. What about the axe head? The disk? The goddamn samurai sword? Nowhere to be seen. Spinnerbots have plagued this game ever since they were discovered to be good, everything is some kind of copycat of another popular bot of a usually OVERUSED tple.
Actually from what I have seen you spammed your own showcase with derogative comments because inf did what he does usually, and you have overreacted because he considered your bots subpar, and that's what they are compared to the average stock builder. Judging from this, I have many reasons to call you a drama queen.
It's clear that when someone new comes along, he's going to be attacked no matter HOW hard he tries.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

put more casters on the far ends so wedges slide up even easier.

Very nice.

Nightcracker and Geice and were absolutely brutalized by us, so much so that... what? They're both only a few months into their tenure and they're both well-respected members who regularily contribute? When did this happen??
And ontopic (hey, this topic is about the community in review) I must say this is one of the weirdest communities. A lot of nice guys, but also some seriously social defect members (not calling names).

Judging from this, I have many reasons to call you a drama queen.Running a showcase is like trying to operate an zoo full of lions in no cages on a unicycle - you can do whatever the you can, and people will STILL tell you you're doing it wrong, and then when you set out to actually accept criticism like you tried from the beginning, people STILL tell you you're doing it wrong. I've ALWAYS called my robots bad, and I have trouble tolerating flamers. You're treating a self-confessed noob that only started building bots recently like he's a veteran. He isn't. Why should I even bother around here any more? It's clear that when someone new comes along, he's going to be attacked no matter HOW hard he tries. I should be treated like I'm NEW, not like I joined in 2007, because then people set their expectations WAY too high.
is this bot don't lost all razors in a fight before do a damage thought
Either get better or use your bots mainly as a joke.
-Each member gets ONLY ONE showcase per game mod.
Look if I were you I would come back with the SFTW meme under your belt and really prove that you are still a good bulider and everyone will get on your side and then YOU can change the trend of the game. So could get everyone to go back to the n00b ages.
