The handling of the situation is adequate for what the series is, however this won't be considered a GTM personal tournament as it doesn't fully follow regulations. In effect, you came into our house with a game of Cluedo trying to play your own house rules and we play standard.

Just to make clear I have no issues with Banter Wars and its great that many people enjoy it, but please don't be led into thinking any of us do this as more than a hobby. Perhaps it's just a difference in the way GTM is compared to other social boards.

Thank you for your efforts in resolving this ahog, and apologies for my reaction. I'm sure you can understand the situation.

Thanks Craaig, apology accepted. I won't pretend that Banter Wars hasn't suffered a decline in reputation over this, but it's taught me a lesson. Things will change as a result of this, for the better.

I just hope that those people who instantly accused the show of being deceptive come around and realise that I had no intention of sabotaging robots or altering robots without peoples' permission. Maybe then I can get more GTMers on the show, and I will know how to handle the robots given to me.

Let's crack on with robot stuff and come together like hippies around an endangered tree.

Okay. Things have happened, this has evolved, oh boy.

I initially was very unhappy with the reaction because of seemed attempts, *at the time*, of heavily downplaying the situation even after the initial apology. I may have also conflated the official reactions with some of the series' ardent defenders in the other comment sections somewhat along the way, which did peak my frustration. That was a mistake, and I apologise for letting my emotional side take over the rest.

With the recent developments, I feel like this has been addressed significantly better.  Given circumstances, the re-recording is the absolute best thing that can be done, even if it can't affect the outcome due to pre-recording. Thank you for doing your best to ultimately address this.

Apology accepted =) Things will change for the next series to better ensure these things don't happen. I hope I don't disappoint!

You realize if you qualify for Series 3 in time you're going to get seeded due to OA2's performance last Wars?

Alright Boto I'm counting on you to enter soon (Pheasant looks frightening, but all offense and no defense). Anyone else looking forward to entering so that way AHOG and I can keep updated?

Flying Squirrel would be perfect for this but I'm just not interested in making an intro. Nor really have much to intro.

You could enter Flying Squirrel in 2.5 (similar to Extreme) if you want to. No intro required. You just have to tell AHOG, I bet he'll just easily give you the go-ahead. He's a really nice guy.

Detrimental got trashed by Plantation 3, a much more superior machine built by a much more experienced user than me. Jamied and I are currently improving Detrimental so that way the swords instead of being static spin too to increase it's offensive and defensive capabilities BY A LOT. I might change the aluminum armor sometime so that way it can take more hits to the chassis. GG DeadGenocide.

EDIT: Whoopsies, double post!

Not a sit-n-spin, a full-body spinner with a mechanism similar to the Pulverizer. Anyways it's a first attempt, so you would expect it's first battle for it to act like crap.
