Indeed, people can vote as they wish to vote.

On that basis, I voted #1 because I like VS and I'm not overly fond of the mostly irrelevant splash of #3 (see "a falcon with a box on its head") although it is a better built bot.

What needs to be said has been said.
Anyone who makes another immature comment, another post adding to the fire, another small text insult, another post that isn't directly connected to the topic at hand or whatever will be muted, no ifs, no buts, no 'but you didn't warn me!'.

It's completely possible that he's looking to make a cel-shaded cartoon version of RA2 or something like that, but here you guys are just crapping all over it, making every excuse not to support whatever this guy wishes to do.

He could've been lurking for so long that he remembers the colors of the AU forums, but nah, y'all are so insistent on ruination.

Wen, if you're serious about this, buddy, mod your heart out.

^this is a better wording of my point.

It also strikes me that the people 'agreeing with Nar' are of... A certain calibre.

Okay that's enough off topic. Please stop making non-constructive posts people or I'll start handing out punishments.

No but you could at least be welcoming to the guy as opposed to hostile laughing.

You usually make your own bots in mods that aren't RWRA2, try it out :)

All of you, stop. That's the least friendly introduction to the community anyone has probably ever had, and I'm ashamed.
Hope your project goes well WenXiangLee :)

EDIT: I'm pretty sure its just a genuine person who doesn't speak perfect English Nar, you should probably not post his IP :L

A super shame because it looks awesome.

I know you've already got RWRA2 running as I run the tech support on the Facebook page, so all I can really add here is to not try putting DSL or Stock bots into the mod, the mod doesn't run cross compatible with other mods.

If you have the time, could you mention names as outliers?

I have requested that this isn't done. The awards are intended to be a general consensus of the community so releasing as much data as we have is already against what I believe it's about. But you received no votes for anything, if that helps.

Also Playzooki you can criticise Snappy the moment you build anything comparable in terms of time, effort and success :P
I agree Snappy shouldn't have won but if that's the opinion of those who voted, you can't argue.

On the other hand, 09 is too right. :')

Also yes, I'll address this one

GTM Unsung Hero
Tie - 123savethewhales and Naryar

I'll be damned. I thought I was the "bad guy moderator" for a majority of people (i know some people think elsewhere, bless them) and I win that ?

Still it's nice to win that. Maybe a bit undeserved because I was not that active that year.

It may be a recognition that despite your actions not always being popular, your efforts are appreciated. At least, that's how I read it.

Best newcomer outright? really? hm. I would have figured on ecolusian or lightning s. (or at least a tie between me and one of them)

Lightning S joined in 2012 :P

Congratulations on your award :)

Can we have the tallies, Craaig ? Would be appreciated.

No, I'm far too lazy to create a tally sheet that's not my near illegible excel data sheet. You should know I never release all the votes by now :P
If I get a chance over the next few days I may add 2nd and 3rd where there aren't ties for those positions but it's unlikely, pretty busy right now

It seems pretty stable in most cases, rights itself reasonably quickly if thrown over too. Super super wide so that's not a problem.

Looks pretty good, for about a 2 1/2-ish month old VS.

Actually edited a whole bunch of stuff on it today to make it just that little more effective :)
