Off-Topic Discussion / GTM Awards 2014 - Voting!

« on: December 24, 2014, 06:29:51 PM »

GTM AWARDS 2014
Alright, time to vote! Sorry for opening this a little late.
PM me your votes, you don't have to vote in all categories.
Obvious joke votes may become void, as always, and you shouldn't vote for yourself.
You may have 2 honorable mentions for each vote you make also - each main vote is worth 3 points and a HM is just 1. Make these clearly separated :)
Voting will close on the 1st January at midnight (in Forum Default time zone) or whenever I look at GTM first after that moment. (I imagine midnight forum time will be in the middle of the night for me).

The respect you will gain by completing this successfully would be huge, man.
Probably to the point you could stop faux posting everywhere about how you really don't care about negative rep.

At least i put out the AI folder.

Hahahaha no.
Using that as an excuse for your laziness is awful. Putting out the AI is not a reason for AIing badly for the tournament or giving up on it entirely.

If your PC runs RA2, it should run this just fine :)

Is indeed improved. Your ramming rack could be much improved though, if you have the baseplate anchor on the edge of the chassis, you shouldn't need the extra black extender between that and the T connector. Also, try hovering razors in the other spots on your rack (where it seemingly won't let you connect) and rotating them slowly - for at least most of the spots you should find there's a place where they will actually connect despite going through their neighbours.

Added a list of people who joined this year with at least 20 posts as a memory refresher for the Newcomer awards. Are there any other changes to make or shall I get this open?

Use img tags around the image link. The uploader gives you this pre-done as one of the boxes at the end

I guess each half of the scoop could be attached with the remaining tiny bit of hinge you're not slicing through, but it's a little dodgy.

How many ants are in there? Also, what burst is in there, and I'd kinda say it errs on the realism if the axe thing cuts straight through the skirt hinge in the centre like that.

If you want high power motors and stuff, get on the Ironforge hype train, might satisfy your needs :P
