Pwn is good in DSL and stock, but I honestly thing SSG is better at stock building, and Meganerd is slightly lower at both.

You also forget Gigafrost, Philletbabe and Madiba. Not forgetting Trovaner...

LOL who voted for me?

Naryar · « **Reply #22 on:** January 23, 2010, 04:48:16 PM »

So Pwn is better than me... yet this happens

And that's not because i don't showcase a lot that i don't improve. HnM 4 has outdated wedges and some of the later bots of mine can beat it :P

Ounce, you might be my favourite DSL builder on the forums right now.

and yet I'm nowhere on your list for top picks in DSL. :P I guess it doesn't matter that much.

And Naryar, that version of Paper Cut is outdated. Fight Paper Cut 4 >:).

Nice thought S-32, but not really.
Facts: Gig is a pretty good bot builder. The last 3 of us (and probably Gig too) are more 'modders' than 'players'. I personally like the coding and researching new things than competing bots. I think the same for Trov and Phil (they can speak for themselves). Though I rarely can do even that any more... Just do mainly new ideas and/or troubleshooting, for members....
Pt: We don't fit into this category, IMO. Apanx would fit here too (probably the best py-er). Serge, same (C++ man). Thankful for all of the above; we co-work continuously behind the scenes.

Also, as far as contributor, CB is working on the side toward DSL3. His work is ongoing but not manifest,...yet. Large work.

Bottom line, I'm not sure the 'competitive' spirit is behind us modders as much as it is among the bot-builders. Frankly I don't care, just trying to keep the community going and even thriving...

You guys should have a "cold war" event.

"I made a .py that sneaks behind opponents!"
"I made a chain!"
"I made an arena that is low lag and has 16 hazards!"
"Oh no, our economy is DFGFGNJFGNFnfmnfmzfnfgmfnn....."
"Let's make the Iran and England our next states!"

I don't know what to say. I think it's the UHW that got me the 1 extra vote.

And my very biased DSL votes were (base on function and aesthetic)

1. Click - You can't beat the style
2. The Ounce - It just so happen that most bots I have trouble with on NAR v2 comes from The Ounce
3. Scrap - Bots look too crazy
4. Naryar - #1 in terms of function, but falls short in looks.
5. Pwnator - Would get a higher vote if he builds more.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #28 on:** January 23, 2010, 10:37:46 PM »

just a thought perhaps the only people in the running for the ranks are those who have there showcase on page 1 of the respective section ?

just seems like a level playing field if we go off the last month, so when Feb is close to finished Sage should hold another with only "candidates" on pages 1 of the showcases.

will making thinking easier for everyone too.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #29 on:** January 24, 2010, 12:36:30 AM »

Wow, I feel really silly right now. I did my rankings entirely from memory, and there was three bots that I had in my head that I thought Pwnator built, but they are really The Ounce's.

So, yeah I gave Ounce the shaft, but I revise my DSL rankings to this:

5) MikeNCR
4) Reier
3) Myself
2) The Ounce
1) Naryar

Sorry Pwn, but I have to give credit where credit is due, and Ounce seems to be waaay more talented than he is memorable to me >.>

And Ounce, after reviewing your showcase, I do stand by that comment :)

Pwnator · « **Reply #30 on:** January 24, 2010, 01:04:34 AM »

Yeah, I still kinda suck at DSL compared to others. But I'll be back once I'm tired of Stock. :P

Woohoo I'm in the ranks! XD

RedSawn · « **Reply #31 on:** January 24, 2010, 04:09:12 AM »

I'm still curious as to who voted me. Anyone gonna own up? :|

Ranks

DSL 5

123Savethewhales (My current favorite showcase to watch. I admire 123's technical approach and uncanny understanding of the component statistics to build his bots. I am learning so much from his building (and my DSL building is pretty bleh)

Naryar (The man! The Legend! When you think DSL you think of Naryar... I only put him second to 123 because some of his bots just lack a certain excitemtent to them. Might be because they are refined... or because he is distracted with Nar AI.)

The Ounce (Excellent building skills! It is very obvious that he learns from looking at other showcases. I have watched his talents improve greatly by learning from others.)

Pwnator (Solid builder... approaching legendary status. Whenever you see that you are facing pwn in a tourney... You cant help but feel like you are going to lose.)

Scrap Daddy (When he is not playing MW2... He tosses a spectacular bot into his showcase that makes us all drool.)

Stock 5

Roboshark (He owned in BBEANS with a popup... that had frickin' swords on it! I normally hate popups... but he brought a pretty innovative bot to the table that did insanely well. Every element of his building impresses me... the refinement of the design, skins, naming, etc etc.)

Sage (Never seems to back down from a stock challenge. Always a contender in Stock BOTM. Very impressive and skilled with making bots that strike fear in our hearts.)

Scrap Daddy (Legendary in stock. Makes some of the most fearsome jugglers out there.)

Virus Bomb (Deserves credit for being a solid active builder. Steady improvements over time and is emerging to be one of the better current builders of the community.)

RedlineM203 (Same as Virus Bomb... except with insanely awesome paintjobs on bots. Nearly all of Redline's bots look great and well thought out. I don't think I have ever seen a messy bot from this guy. One of my favorite current builders.

Contributor 1
123Savethewhales (I didn't take component txt files very seriously until this guy came along seemingly memorized them all. He has helped me improve my building skills, and I hope that others are learning form him too.)

Double post. How the

did I kill this thread? I thought there was going to be debates and bloodshed.

Oh wait, you all are just dropping the subject and getting along. Carry on.

Me too. The apathy is overwhelming.

The Ounce · « **Reply #35 on:** January 29, 2010, 12:48:05 AM »

^I think I can fix that a bit.^

R0B0, if those rankings are your true votes, wouldn't that mean that I would actually be 4th top builder in DSL?

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #36 on:** January 29, 2010, 12:53:41 AM »

You should be. I made a dumb mistake and you got the proverbial shaft for it. I apologize.

Naryar · « **Reply #37 on:** May 07, 2010, 04:03:48 AM »

Bump

Might be time to get a fourth vote done. Now that 123 is having builder's block, I want that top DSL builder title back :P

JoeBlo · « **Reply #38 on:** May 07, 2010, 04:14:07 AM »

I would also like a top 5 rank in something :P

123savethewhales · « **Reply #39 on:** May 07, 2010, 06:12:45 PM »

lol now that it's top 7 I shouldn't be kicked out of the list just yet.
