Yay a poll! Vote for your favourite STOCK builder ATM. You can pick three builders. I can't check it, but voting for yourself is illegal, please be fair and just don't.
I'm sorry if you're not on this list and you think you deserved it. I only included people who seemed active and decent enough.

OI!Why no avalanche?I mean, i still play stock.

System32
Fracture
RPJK
Scrap Daddy
infiniteinertia
Geice

Vertigo
Virus Bomb
J
Sage
Scorpion
Enigma
Naryar
Clickbeetle
ACAMS

Craaig
Pyscolone
kill343gs
Curse me for not being active recently :P
OI!Why no avalanche?I mean, i still play stock.
No.
-
Lol at Craaig, he barely builds stock XD
-
Oh, I just randomly scrolled down the stock showcase department till page 8 or so to see who's "active".
-
Am I eligible? I do still build now and then. Not as often as we'd all like, I'll give you that, but I'm just wondering.
-
I'll add you (if I can).
-
Lol Psy isn't even here anymore.
Still, I think 090901, SM and myself could qualify considering some of the builders on the list.
-
Lol that RPJK's on the list. :P
I voted for Geice, Nightcracker, and Scrap Daddy. *hides*
-
ACAMS!!!.. But he should totally build more often *hint, hint*
Also Click and Scrap for obvious "awesomry"
-
Lol that RPJK's on the list. :P
I voted for Geice, Nightcracker, and Scrap Daddy. *hides*
Scrap, Sage and ROBO for me.
-
My top 5 are...
Click
Geice
Scrap
Pwnator
R0B0
I unfortunately had to boot R0B0 because he isn't as active as he was before, and Pwnator because I feel he is a better DSL builder.
Mad props to Geice though, right out of the gate he built awesome robots and won his first tournament. (Best Newcomer 2011 (tied with Nightcracker) )
-
Sage, Pwn and Click, personally. Out of all the Stock builders, I'd say they're the three that I drew inspiration from the most while I was still relatively new.
-
I voted the obligatory Scrap and Click.
....My 3rd vote goes to Joe.
-
I'm not in the list?
Geez. Thanks alot. ._.
-
I'm not in the list?
Geez. Thanks alot. ._.
Just ask him to put you on- that's what I did. Pretty sure it's a simple mistake more than anything.
-
will there be a DSL voting thing too? Shame DSC doesn`t build on stock :P
-
Dude, you totally missed out the greatest stock builder ever!
Why The f**k is GarvinTheGreat not on here, he PWNS everyone else [/endtroll]
Really good list on here mate, i've not actually voted yet but ill make sure to have a look now.
-
I reckon RPJK voted for himself :/
Sage, Click and Pwn for me
-
Scrap Daddy, Geice and Clickbeetle for me.
-
Scrap, Inf & Pwn.
-

Yarp.
I guess I'll do the same.
-
Scrap, Sage, and Clickbeetle
-
*Sees Craig on list but not himself*
wat.
-
Scrap Daddy, infiniteinertia, and Clickbeetle.
but hey, I'm not on here? :P i'm kidding.
-
*Sees Craig on list but not himself*
wat.
Exactly.
NC, can you add 090901, Jonzu and I to the list?
-
why am I not here?? I play stock still (as evidenced by my latest tourney)
-
TC, you should remove like half the builders from your poll.
Srsly, everyone will mostly vote the cool people(Click, Sage, Inf, etc) and pretty much everything else gets 0-1 vote.
-

Sure, sorry guys!
-
I get the feeling this is turning into a popularity contest O,o
-
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Nah, i'm goin for Sage, scrap aaaaaand, NFX
-
Well, it kind of is a popularity contest. Hence the term "Favourite", not "Best". Quantity =/= Quality.
I think it's not too bad to see who people actually take an interest in, personally. As long as we're agreed that it's not anything official. Speaking of which, when was the next Stock/DSL Builder's Rankings thing happening?
-
what NFX says
-
My votes went to Sage and Click because those two inspire me the most when it comes to stock building. I had trouble deciding on my third vote, but gave it to Scrap because there's something about his building that wins me over.
Also why am I not on this list? I'm a pretty good stock builder aren't I?
-
Either Scrap or Click.
-
Where is my name at?
-

I have no idea. I feel like I shouldn't be the one taking the votes if I'm one of the ones being voted for.

You'd rather have an impartial host? That's cool, I can understand that. =)

I had to decide between GF93, madman or Craaig. I choose mad

Am I the only one who saw GTG's post and thought "How the heck did SOTG get -34 rep that quickly"?
And I voted for Geice, Scrap and NFX
-
no love for me? :(
-
no love for me? :(
But you're doing well, Mr. Scrap...
-
Lawl, good to know noone voted for me.
-
but hey, I'm not on here? :P i'm kidding.
On second thought, can you put me in?
-
VB, you're better than most people that got votes no worries.
-
Lol at Scourge voting for me.
Actully "Scourge" is me.
-
VB would have been my 4th choice probably.
Lol at Scourge voting for me.
Actully "Scourge" is me.
Since when was I so stupid that I couldn't tell whether someone is a dead drummer or Scourge?
*shame*
-
I would hope I don't end on zero :P
-
I would hope I don't end on zero :P
I would vote for you, but I have already voted for inf, Sage and NFX.
And for clarification, Favourite ≠ Best.

I would vote for you, but I have already voted for inf, Sage and NFX.
You can vote for 3 people?

Didn't you read the first post fully?

JB Click and NFX for me

-
A DSL one would indeed be interesting :P
Pity I only voted for one, otherwise I'd vote for Virus and R0B0 as well (voted for scrap) :P
-
Scrap (for being awesome), R0B0 (<3), and Pwn.
Click doesn't showcase anything these days in stock, and Sage barely does. Though Sage would probably come fourth, and then Virus Bomb as fifth IMO.
*laughs at seeing Goldenfox and Jonzu in the list*

Ah, keep your moustache on, matey. Wasn't expecting to win, just wanted to see how I'd do, more or less.

Yes! At least I would actually have the knowledge necessary to accurately vote if it was DSL. :)

I posted 3 top-tier bots in the past 2 weeks. It takes time to come up with good designs. I could hash out a bunch of crappy designs, but that's pointless. "Barely showcases"? >.>

I want to vote for GTG..... But I can't.

lol at me actually getting a vote (no it wasn't me, i'm not that bad).
-
How on Earth has VB got no votes?????
And I'm pretty sure I'm a much better builder than *some people* who have votes, so there, ha :P
-
Naryar, I suggest you to look some of my Stock tournament entries...
-
Copious lack of Sm and myself...
-
excuse me but WTF is click being in 2nd for. he's no good anymore
-
excuse me but WTF is click being in 2nd for.
Took out the second part since you really can't compare with him.
Click's still pretty darn original.
-
excuse me but WTF is click being in 2nd for. he's no good anymore
Excuse me, but saying that will get you hated. Forever. Plus Click is still amazing
-
excuse me but WTF is click being in 2nd for. he's no good anymore
1: Why do you think that?
2: Do you know who your talking about?
3: I dare you to challenge him on the challenge board.
-
Click is absolutely fantastic, but just doesn't build generic bots.
-
Did I say I was better then him? No. But he's not up to stock standards. And ok Massimov I will challenge him.
-
But he's not up to stock standards.
Evidence being?
-
lol @ ben purse... he has no idea what he's talking about.
-
And ok Massimov I will challenge him.
Well this should be interesting. Will be watching this closely.
-
excuse me but WTF is click being in 2nd for. he's no good anymore
Are you serious?
Click is quite possibly the greatest and most original stock builder ever, and was my first vote on this poll
-
HOW CAN I SPLIT MY 3RD VOTE TO FRACTURE, GEICE, NC, AND VB? D: D: D:
-
*sees that rpjk has more votes then vb and vert*
wat
-
I only voted because I wanted to see the results. :P
0 votes? I'M NOT POPULAR D: I'M LIKE THE NERDY GUY THAT SITS BY HIMSELF IN THE CAFETERIA ALL THE TIME (who gets bullied by SD and Click)
-

As much as I hate to admit it, from a pure combat perspective he is correct.
Most of click's runs in tournaments are usually 1-2 or 2-2 win/loss ratios (Double brackets).
-

This poll is "Your favourite stock builder." As such Ben saying that Click is not "good" anymore and shouldn't be in second place is ridiculous. People who build original bots are often thought of more favorably than those who are just high-caliber tournament winners.
-
You are also correct.
This is ben purse we are talking about, though. He's trolling, but not doing anything to get banned, because "Making people angry" isn't against the rules.
-
I voted for J (for his hilarious bots are epic, why has no one else voted for him?), Scrab and Click.
-
I Voted RPJK, NightCracker and Geice

ACAMS, Click, Pwn

Yays, a vote :D
Seriously though, RPJK shouldn't even have one

So what?
Come on, you can't honestly be saying you're as good a builder as ACAMS, and better than people like vertigo and 090901 (who just won wedge war with a great bot, and still gets no votes lol).
-
Lol, I got 8 votes and Geice 12. The newcomers are popular :D

Definitely. =) If there was more than three options, I definitely would have voted for Geice.

Prime example of why BOTM discussions were meant to be banned for those wondering..
-
OH NO INF CAUGHT ME
-
i dont understand why i would even be considered
-
Although the poll is missing some of my all time favorites (namely Luigica and Regected), I still managed to find a few.
-
I'm disappointed not to be in the list considering those who are. But I also agree that some people are definitely missing.

No I'm not saying that but I'm just saying that you could say who is your favorite builder but If you are saying who should be OFF the list keep those opinions to yourself. (Who should be ON the list is fine)

This is the dumbest thread?
-
I would put $10 on it, your comment would be different if your were the most popular
-
The 7 people who voted for me are the coolest people on this forum :D
Although the poll is missing some of my all time favorites (namely Luigica and Regected), I still managed to find a few.
Which is why it's "at the moment" not "of all time."
BTW, I voted for Click, Scrap and Pwn. No idea why Scrap is so bloody popular though :P

Geice is the word.

Kill, the reason your on here makes as much sense as me being on Le List.

Joe, your tied with me.
(Not that that's important or anything).

Which is why it's "at the moment" not "of all time."
Thats why I worded it that way. Though if I was to be truthful and stretch the question a bit, I would say that Rejected is still one of my favorite stock builders ATM (even if he hasn't posted any new bots).
BTW, I think Starcore posted a bot more recently than Kill.

He did, but it was in a tournament discussion thread and not a showcase. :P

He should be named ScrapBeetle.. then it would make sense..
Every "most popular" RA2 builder should have beetle in their name right? :P

Isn't destructo Bots cancelled? JoeBlo locked the sign-ups thread...

Thanks for remembering Rejected as one of your favorite stock builders ATM (would seem to mean what one remembers fondly). I am proud to have brought him back to the scene to build such bots as Neglected Waterbug and Rapid Pitbull so many years ago (he had been banned and rejected at the time..) and yes I did post a bot recently in Ironbot Signups:
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,7639.105.html (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,7639.105.html)

https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Exchange/HW/Starcore_T-888%20Terminator.bot (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Exchange/HW/Starcore_T-888%20Terminator.bot)
Doesn't mean I am remembered top of the heap, times change and favorites shift with the times...
Happy to see people still enjoying Stock and DSL bot building,
Starcore
-
Sorry Starcore I didn't list you, I only scrolled the first 8-10 pages of the stock showcase forums to leech out some builders.
-
Good to see you around, Starcore- if you were on the list, I'd have definitely voted :approve:
-
I added him to the poll and changed it so that people can change their votes.
Just to be fair, are there any additional nominations besides Starcore that people would like added? By my understanding, it must be a member that is still around and posting. I refuse to remove anyone from the poll though so don't bother asking.
-
SM.
Me too... :P

Also you should add that Spawngeek guy that bulit one of my all time favorite Stock LW's .Wee VS.
Also Anyone who bulit Neglected Waterbug gets my vote.

I added G.K. and Squirrel_Monkey to the list and pushed the deadline back to the end of the month (just to make sure everyone has a chance to vote for them).

Spawngeek was awesome back in the day, so was clutch1 and Foolishevil, but they have not built in years, and I have not built a bot since Fort Knocks and that was almost 2 years ago.
I used to play Rejected (builder of NWB and RPB) Spawngeek, Clutch and Foolish online regularly, we had a blast!
-
I'm going to start a riot since there's no Reier on the list :trollface

Voted Vertigo- because he was the first person to say welcome, also got interesting robots but changes peoples rep too much. Also I was glad to get beaten by him in his own tourney.
Clickbeetle- Pure Living Legend and bulit robots in which I would love to bulid.
NFX- Again got interesting robots and a very good bulider. One of the most unique buliders on this world stage of RA2.

Yays, 2!
