What would You want for the next BotM contest?

Also, even if I win again, I will not determine the next BotM. A promise!
A promise is a promise.
All, feel free to post text opinions as well.

Also, I just realized, that I'll need to point a "IRL referee", that will not have the right to participate in this BotM.
So, anyone, a volunteer?

Stock! last thing we need right now is more attention towards DSL.

I want every BotM to be stock, but I have made a promise and I'm gonna stay with it.
The members will decide, I know that You want a stock AW BotM, You still have a chance if other people choose the "other" option.
Also a 3 times stock BotM will make some people very mad, thats why I will go for a non-cheaty normal and fair IRL DSL3.

You don't need to pick between stock or DSL, do something different.. make it themed or something.

Ok then, If enough people voted "other stuff like stock for example...", I will make it "DSL3 OR stock" in that weight class, but I don't want to force this 'cos it just will look unfair.
So for now, only the other rules are subjects to discuss.

Last purely DSL BOTM was November. I think it's fair for it to be BOTM this month, especially with DSL3 release :P

I'll volunteer for the IRL referee thing since I'm still getting to grips with the new stuff and probably won't have an entry by then.

How about a BOTM where the only restriction is that the bot must use exactly fifteen components. No more, no less.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

You need to PM me the rules for next months BOTM
The "other stuff like stock for example..." didn't get enough votes to get an attention.
ACAMS needs this PM as soon as possible, so no more time for discussions.
Basically, I'm going to send him :
MW
DSL3 beta only
IRL
And the most nazi rules of all time, that will make the loopholing this time imposible.
I think that they are very well made, even that I'm not much into DSL...
Good luck to everyone, this thread is about to be closed.

Thanks for volunteering ..... you will make a good ref.
