wedgeless VS rape popups if you build them right
In IF? I really don't think so. Challenge?

Ironforge has been out a short while, long enough that a meta has been formed.
Really? What is it?
SnS and popups are broken, put wedges on everything and scrap your bot if they're bad, spam sledges instead of smaller weapons to try and deweapon wedgespammers cause you cant out-DPS them
so like geice said, it's dsl
idk haven't played much 2.2 and was bad at 2.1, but I remember non-wedges bots at least having a chance.
i'm talking about 2.1, and those bots you are talking about are SnS, flail ram and heavily weapons VS, flail rams are the only ones really nerfed in ironforge.
VS arent as good in IF. Powerful motors make them lass stable, but much more importantly popups are faster and have strong armour for cheap. This kills the VS.

so which version would i pick up if i actually want to be able to compare to what everyone else is showcasing? and did ironforge just come out?
the cauldron looks hype, that's actually awesome that a stock tournament just started! will definitely bring back memories from the old days.
i'm actually not sure why i left, just got bored and forgot about it all i guess. none of it was planned even with me starting uni. even if i did make the conscious decision, i don't think i felt close enough with the community enough to warrant a long goodbye letter. i'll have to see how interested i am this time and decide whether or not to stick around
Ironforge has been out a short while, long enough that a meta has been formed. Try both DSL2.2 and Ironforge, see which you prefer. Both are getting a decent amount of activity.

What are you using to record? Shadowplay, it's actually a godsend for recording. 1080p60fps no framedrops no hassle. I had no idea how useful it would be when I upgraded from a 570. It's a massive shame there's no AMD equivalent. The filesizes aren't even that big, 200mb on average per match. Same thing using fraps would be a horrible number of GB. I think it'll come down to a wedge war, as always.

How much do you guys care about editing? Because editing the video takes about 4-5x as long as recording and preparing the materials for it (images etc). Would uploading straight video files of the matches be OK? (Not going to change the video format of my current tournament, just wondering for future)

keep it, let everyone past Heavyweight + colored names use it. Done.
If not the above, then remove it.
^ This I don't see the harm in opening it up for a week or 2 to see how it goes. If it goes well then great, if not it can be disabled.

it has no point, no matter what anyone says. Noobs don't look at rep.
it's like, kinda fun, but that's it. it would be (and was) way more fun if everyone could vote. either do that or get rid of it. the elitism of rep is the dumbest part of it
This, it's just a fun part of the forum. I was disappointed when it was made AU-only and I'd be disappointed if it was removed Allowing everyone to affect rep wouldn't be a good idea. I wouldn't like to think that deciding whether or not someone is reputable is down to those who are not reputable themselves. Rep, to me, allows those who are reputable in the community to stand out, at least somewhat, without having to give everyone a yellow name. I think the principle of rep still stands and it allows others to see how reputable you actually are in the eyes of those that have been granted coloured names for being reputable and good members of the community themselves.
Make it so you can only -rep people with less rap than you. Noobs should be able to show appreciation for help given.

i'm not sure if that's legal in standard though
If they don't intersect anything I don't see why they wouldn't be in DSL-S

But, imagine if someone were to do it for TRB and the amount of times he has received a -rep that contained an insufficient reason. That would definitely look very messy and those who want to keep his rep higher would probably just end up giving up.
I think keeping this system would probably mean reform and I wouldn't mind seeing that, even if it's just banning certain users from having rep powers.
Personally, I think having a 3-day cooldown (to encourage careful use) on repping a person (+ve or -ve) and giving XX% warning level for abuse, and opening it to everyone would be pretty cool. I don't think a week trial of whatever system would hurt either

It wouldn't be subjective if we were to judge those exploiting the system using the rules already stated about affecting rep. From then on, it wouldn't be difficult to just restrict rep powers from those who exploit the system if people raise a concern about a certain member.
Well, I don't see everyone with rep powers exploiting it, so why not just restrict certain people from being able to affect rep?
but the thing is it would be a pain in the butt to do all the time and it would be "subjective" etc, because nobody would stay consistent in their rep quality. its much easier to just ditch it.
either everyone should be able to do it or nobody imo. but everyone getting to do it would be a disaster so just don't.
If you see an unjustified rep you can just rep in the other direction to nullify it tho
However, that could just turn into a rep war between those two and clog up the karma change history of the unfortunate person they're fighting over.
With how infrequently rep is given ATM I don't think anyone cares enough to do that. Anyway you could set it so you can only rep someone once every X days? And give warnings for blatant abuse? I think its a cool system and I would be disappointed if it were to go

I like the rep system, but I'd prefer if everyone could +rep and -rep, like it used to be. It's good to have a system to indicate that you liked/didn't like a user's post without having to make a reply.
Well, other forums have a system in which you can like individual posts and not a rep system. From what you said, I'd imagine you'd like that better.
I dunno, it seems like something that can definitely be monitored if someone were to be given that specific task on the moderating team but it does seem to be so insignificant that monitoring it would be useless. I have never really had a strong opinion on this and I think I could probably be convinced either way, at this point. However, my current view is that, if we got rid of rep, it might make users more inclined to be a good member of the forum on a regular basis because they no longer have something already established for them (their rep) to tell the new guys how good they are. I don't know if anyone does anything here 'for the rep' but I suppose it would be a downside to get rid of the system if some people's good deeds were based on the assumption that they'd get rewarded with +rep later on. I also think that titles (AU, Vet, etc.) are a good way of judging who's a good person for a newbie to listen to, even though it isn't always reflected in their actions. On the other hand, the rep system isn't doing any damage to the forum and proportions are usually right (see Trov, Craaig, RedAce, etc.) Those blown out of proportion are HA and Racecarlock and I can't particularly think of any other user that has rep out of proportion with what they're actually like.
Basically, I'm teetering on the edge of wanting to remove the rep system but I could vote either way, so I'm going to abstain from the vote, for now.
I'm actually on another forum that uses the "like" system. It's OK, but I prefer the rep system since you can -rep stupid posts, and a like counter doesn't really mean anything, whereas a rep counter is actually a decent indicator for newbies for whose advice to listen to in showcases. I couldn't agree with you more, Reier. Rep is a virtually useless system, as those who can give or take rep just spam absolute sh**e with it. An example of this is how I quickly gained masses of -rep. Sure, I was a total noob and a bit of a dick back then, but I have nearly as much -rep as playzooki, and that's not good.
If you want to see some examples, just take a look:
(Image removed from quote.)
My personal favourites are "everyone else is doing it" and "gives better head than Reier"
tbh you gained a lot of -rep quickly for doing a lot of stupid stuff quickly. You gained rep back because you got better, I think it shows the system working.

IIRC you need to make your own wiki page.
