Ok, so it's a popularity contest. That's how they decide the winner of american idol, also how they decide the American President. Something wrong with that? There's enough smart people on this forum so that it would be based more on skill then popularity anyway.

George bush, and for the rest, Obama. See how good that is? And don't get me started on the MPs. Popularity doesn't mean good bots. END OF.

we need a rating team, like giga's RR FR teams.

Could we have judges on Aesthetics, Originality and Combat effectiveness?

(Hey, it's best for a fair system.)

And i already said that there's enough smart people on this forum that it won't be a popularity contest. BOTM seems to work fine.

Indeed, this is a good idea. This is also a good way to change our members Respect Rating, as the members are nominated, their respect can go up by one, as more people are recognizing them (making the limit to +5 points total or if the member won five times). Fear is something else and would not pertain well with this system however. But i do like it and feel that it would motivate more people to contribute for gametechmods.

Better bots could also be feared, however. Just a thought. I also say keep it with Sage's original plans and just do it a top 10 for the week. Kind of like a "BOTM" but a Members of the Week.

anyone watch wrestling ?

they have a thing called the power 25 which people go up and down on the list for a heap of factors, match results, popularity (im talking if your a jerk to everyone you move down) etc and its decided by a group of fair people and it changes after each week maybe something like that for each DSL and Stock

maybe the admins and mods do the deciding :-D

yay everybody post the same thing :-D

im not fussed I dont even think of my building skills or popularity to be high enough for top 10 i was just offering suggestions (thought it was the point of sage starting this thread)

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #31 on:** May 28, 2009, 09:03:28 PM »

I third that^

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #32 on:** May 28, 2009, 09:05:42 PM »

I think rankings would be beneficial, but just "simpler" and flat out based on building.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #33 on:** May 28, 2009, 10:33:56 PM »

I agree

Sage · « **Reply #34 on:** May 28, 2009, 10:59:17 PM »

You guys don't think that the AI pack makers, the arena builders, the component designers, or the other contributors don't deserve a rank?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #35 on:** May 28, 2009, 11:19:16 PM »

I think ranking them could be a little insulting, I think there should just be a prestigious list for them so they can be noted for all their hard work

S32: Popularity contest? What does that mean, that Inf, Sage and Pys are in everyone's top-5? They're "popular" because they're better than you, me, and close to everyone else in this forum.

Also, Venko and Trovaner would make my top-10.

I think a panel of judges is dumb.

Naryar · « **Reply #37 on:** May 29, 2009, 12:13:09 AM »

No popularity contest please... I suggest we just post our personal Top10's here (Or send it in secret via PM to Sage), and he will process everything and display the results here.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #38 on:** May 29, 2009, 12:56:10 AM »

just one thing .... on a forum like this wouldn't skillful building be the thing that makes you popular ? I mean a completely useless builder wouldn't be the most popular person so in theory popularity wouldn't be much of a problem

That is the single most logical statement posted in this thread. I'm not kidding.
