i sometimes boot dsl 2.1 or stock up for kicks and build stuff. not a fan of the more realistic styles that became popular over time so kinda done actually building for tournaments and all that

As a new player who have played this game for 9 months now, still a lot to do and hugely interested. I have plans to build more bots and improve my skills, and host tourney two months later once my RL test stuff is over

I'm that one guy who got interested because of Nick. Anyway, this game was a lot of fun when I first started, and still now.
I shouldn't have come here

I'm somewhere in between the first and second ones, I don't play every day due to time constraints but I'm still invested in RA2 and still have ideas for bots I want to build.

I feeling no longer interested in the game, I mean I had stop playing it after I had done hosting Beetle Wars.

Because IRL Building Style was already popular and Stock and Ironforge starting to collapse, I started to get less interested every months.

It will be rare to see me build some DSL IRL bots or probably host a stock/ironforge tournament. Because I already no longer interested in it.
you will still see me host IRL Tournament sometime.

So yeah, I'm pretty much interested in DooM now.

Been playing for over a decade, and still do play this day obviously, but with a much less passion than usual.  It feels like it has nothing left to offer or I feel like I've done all I can possibly do.  I try to keep up with the forum as a whole, but much less than I ever could.  Hosting tournaments keep me going more than usual building at times,  but it can really burn me out later down the road.  Sometimes, even those are bittersweet to me.

Still play just about every day. Come a long way since I joined GTM nearly 3 years ago now, but still got a long way to go until I feel I'm complete as a builder.

Never really had too many burnout issues either. I think the longest break I've taken from this game since I joined GTM is like a month or two

I just play for a few hours a day, I do get a little burnout every now and then, but for the most part I play Ra2 every day, since I've joined GTM I've built about 40 bots, and the biggest break I've taken is a week's break.

I build when I want, I have no desire to actively pursue the game. Mainly due to burnout

Been around for almost 2 years I believe, IRL scared but intrigued me when I first joined and now I'm hosting a fairly popular IRL tournament: pretty content with that. I do feel I joined this community a bit late though, if I could go back in time then I'd have joined a few years ago instead.

Ive been here for 2-3 years, and ive played it for around 5 or so yrs. It has really gotten me interested in rc thing as a whole

i think it's hard to play this game everyday cus it's pretty patience testing. other competitive games have kinda filled the void ra2 left and whilst i like the unique environment around the game and the community generally it's pretty arse to actually run tournaments for or gauge "competitive skill".
still cool when bigger tournaments happen and it's fun to watch a lot of the better matches still

This is the 10th year of gtm for me. I pretty much only ever did stock popups and 36 maze HS. Never got a footing in dsl or irl building.
And I kinda lost intetes or mojo

I just build when I feel like I have an idea for a bot to build. I try not to force myself to build since I probably will just end up losing interest. The problem Is that once you've tried every bot type what is there left to do?
