Well I say most players today get shreaded by Rejected, Spawkgeek, clutch, Foolishevil .......and my average bot.....going head up bot to bot EVERY bot in our teams folders....our 4 year old team......And Rejected and Spawkgeek have advanced builds even for todays standards.

Why is everyone getting in such a huff about this? It was just a little thing to do for fun and to give incentive for people to get better. Jeffery, do you honestly believe that while I was thinking this up, and the titles for the ranks, I purposely did "Members Gone Missing" to insult Lu-Tze? Am I that evil of a person to do something like that?

I said best builder, and I mean it. As many of you said, Rejected and others were amazing back in their day, but can be easily beaten by today's bots. This is a current ranking system, which is why I added the Member's Gone Missing section.

I have not seen one good comment on this, so as such I am not continuing it. Does anyone have "a bone to pick" with that?

It should probably be left to tournies to decide the best.
Hmm.. and I have an idea.

We just have to add more categories...

Top10 CURRENT Stock builders (Still in the community even if they don't build a lot like ACAMS)
Top10 PAST Stock buiders (Left the community)
Top10 DSL builders
Top10 CURRENT modders (Still active today)
Top10 PAST modders (Left the community)
Top10 GONE MISSED members

About Lu-Tze... she already has a memorial in the forums.

Trying to come up with a solution here.

Another bone to pick: Putting Lu-Tze in a "Gone Missing" category? Poor choice of words, Sage.

Most Missed Member

^^^ perhaps that would have been a better option when naming that category... but do ranks really matter ? maybe there should just be a DSL and Stock rank and each tournament win or BOTM win that person gains 1 point and moves up the list according ? no disrespect, no controversy, no popularity vote.

Sage, people are just giving out criticism. Just poorly written.

In a lighter note, the people here have given me a lot of facts I didn't know.

Robo: you are forgetting that the bots you speak of are outdated. if they stayed till today, they'd probably still have bots that can whoop our asses on a daily basis.

I'm good with these. After a AIM chat with pyscolone, having only 5 per category would make this a lot better. You guys good with that? I don't really want to discontinue this, but it didn't seem to get much community support.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #47 on:** June 20, 2009, 10:19:45 AM »

top 5 would make it easier to choose and as a result gain more interest... separating past members and current ones should also minimize a little bit of the controversy between newer community members to older ones

Ahem, GTM awards guys.....

Naryar · « **Reply #49 on:** June 20, 2009, 10:43:07 AM »

You have my support on this Sage. (Big deal)

Still i prefer a Top10... more builders feeling rewarded, and we are many... especially in DSL where all the top builders are nearly at the same level.

But if you guys really think Top5 is better, so be it.

ACAMS · « **Reply #50 on:** June 20, 2009, 11:06:09 AM »

If you guy's want to stop this here, I will host a Top 5 Builders of the Month tournament and list the winners on the front page with the BOTM.

i'm nowhere on the list O.o oh noes! im sure i contribute >.>

good idea(not that i would even get into the top 30)

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #54 on:** June 20, 2009, 02:08:38 PM »

I feel there should be a "Most improved n00b" category as well. A n00b being someone that has been here less than 6 months and most improved meaning compared to how they started. I feel it would give us n00bs something more to aim at.

Just a suggestion though...

System32 · « **Reply #55 on:** June 20, 2009, 03:21:32 PM »

Nary: I think the thing is that sage asked us to vote on 10 each. Way to hard to choose.

How about a vote for the 3 best, while having a top 10 results.

ACAMS · « **Reply #56 on:** June 20, 2009, 04:23:00 PM »

Sage did an excellent job, and I think it is pretty accurate over all, and if he wants to continue updating it we can find a place to put it.....WIKI being one. Let Sage decide what needs to be done about it.
Some people have a slightly overated opinion about themselves and think they should be way up the list and then others will complain about something else....you can't make every body happy, so I think it is fine as is. WAIT!!!!!! I made a DSL bot one time......why was I not on the DSL list????

System32 · « **Reply #57 on:** June 20, 2009, 04:38:05 PM »

Hehe. Nice one ACAMS.

Uh...no no. Newbs are newcomers with beginner level knowledge and social skills, whereas n00bs are people who will perpetually be plagued with the expected idiocy of newbs. There cannot be improvement with n00bs. Newbs, on the other hand, can improve and become useful.

As others have already said, voting should be limited to five votes per catagory with them listed on the main page because IMO it would make the main page, too big if we did top ten. I also think there should be just two catagories (stock and DSL) because IMO it would be too hard to judge the others.

If we do best builder of the month, ACAMS could set up another uploader where members can upload a splash (optionally showing more than one bot) to represent themselves for that month. Then similar to BOTM people can vote on their favorite five for each catagory. Then the winners' names are added to the main page (hopefully people wouldn't vote based on the splash...). If we did it this way, people with showcases could reuse a splash if they didn't have time to make another while people without showcases could still participate. But then again, I'm just throwing out ideas.
