I feel maybe creating an DSL Standard pack would be best, maybe using Mr. AS's rebalance pack, because Stock is kind of stagnant currently.
Why don't you **** off

apologies for responding to starcore's wish for feedback

Contradiction or not, I have a point. What could a new pack cover that hasn't been already?

I said "maybe" for a reason: I was simply proposing an idea. Hell, I don't really like DSL-S, i just felt with a new pack on a new mod (which just got a new rebalance) the meta might be able to be updated, improved. But what can really be done with Stock?

I wouldn't necessarily be against it, but I think it should be considered.

And what of DSL-S? What can be done in DSL-S that hasn't been done before? Literally everything has been done. Just because the parts are "rebalanced" does not mean you can make a new bot type.

If everything's been done in DSL-S, then Everything in Stock has also been done. Thing is the current DSL-S meta has slightly more options than stock personally.

Also, why are you all taking this as a personal insult? Good lord.

Honestly? I don't know.

Stock's been slowly dying down, and it's kinda become a HS, Popup, SNS fest.

Then help encourage growth, or don't try to stop it. I remember you posted a good point during an IRL vs. Stock-Unrealistic argument.

If you wish to support a meta, do a tournament for it or keep quiet with the complaints please because you won't change the majority's favorite meta by simple persuasion.

This was a good point, a meta's proponents should promote activity in that meta. However, now I feel there is a contradictory caveat: Stock players need to stop moaning, but the humblest one should consider developing an AI pack for DSL.

This is in part why I am asking if it is worth it to update the Starcore v4 pack?

DSL and Starcore Stock are the 2 branches of the fork we started so many years ago.

Stock for people that wanted to play with what came with the original game and could be presented to each other in unmodified versions of the game. The key rule was always: What could be built in the RA2 botlab?

DSL for people that wanted closer to Real Life robotics and representations of the bots they have seen with reasonably fair and balanced parts but definitely more than what Stock RA2 provided.

Starcore Stock AI packs have always been about helping people through example on bot and AI building techniques.

Is that needed anymore?

Do you have enough Stock packs to sate your interests and needs?

Is something like Starcore AI v4.0 effectively a dead horse?

While it would be nice to enhance the UI, Botlab, additional arenas included, patched for wide monitors and the like is that acceptable and desired for a Stock pack?

Starcore


I personally think it's a dead horse, but I don't build much Stock.

So, Jamied, you gonna betray me or ally?
if we want to get more points then I'm willing to ally :D
I was willing...  ::2mad

You did basically say "why should I trust you, get ready to die" to him so to turn around and ally without letting him know and leaving him with a negative feeling going into the decision was kind of a dumb move.

With some positive support, I will see what I can do about finishing up the Starcore v4 pack for a full release.

I don't care if all of them are written like Troll Fics, they're all still as funny as any Monty Phyton sketch. For the voting side, it's going to be a hard one to decide, but I'll judging them all personally based on humour, plot and writing techniques like a Critic.
Also Mr AS, why didn't you include "Wen the Savior" by TGM? It's not the best fanfic on GTM, but it still should be put up for voting just to see how people did react to TGM's fanfic.

"they're all still as funny as any Monty Phyton sketch"

firstly: that's not how you spell python.

secondly: no.

submissions are now CLOSED. Thanks to everyone who sent a team!

Will there later down the line be a further expansion to this pack, or is this it?

I'd have loved to send a team in but general procrastination, revision and builders block prevented me from doing so.

Opinions:

Thracker: not too edgy, funny and just the right amount of GTM memes.
Enigma: the fact you haven't been banned for this astounds me.
Shield: fighter Mk. III uses ripping teeth, and using quotes from 2009 isn't a good representation of me currently.

This tournament has been really fun as of now btw.

Hey Guldenflame, do you want to try and ally first round or do you want to just plan on a fight?
Remember, votes MUST be private

I'm afraid I'm not allowed to answer...
I will tell you, your machine does look powerful.
It's your move...
can you not discuss around the issue, but just not admit what you voted, or say you're going to vote ally but in secret betray?

I've played enough Town of Salem to know where this is going, so sure, let's lynch Dark-Al.  :gawe:
Alright, I had enough! The jig is up, you finally found me. You might as well just lynch me over a failure to defend myself over one simple error. But let me tell you something, sometimes I got though multiple Mafia games by pure luck. Sometimes that I get a role that no one expects me to be like being a ninja on Epic Mafia, I could be someone with a gun or I'm just the person who keeps my mouth shut and perfectly slips under the radar half the time.
I who lie about someone being mafia but, there's no point. So just lynch me, you'll never expect the last lot but just expect someone who's trying to pass the blame.
What

No matter if you're mafia or town, getting yourself killed is bad for your team. So asking to be killed is going against the "you must only play for your team" rule surely, as you're playing so as to favour the other team. The only exception to this would be if Dark-Al is the jester.


but you had no problem with

I'm voting for Mr. AS, **** that guy.
it's joke

Actually I'm going to say **** it. I'm voting Dark- AI, because I cannot trust him and the chances of him being a jester are slim.

Fine, I'm voting Silverfish.
Nice jump on the bandwagon, trying to look less suspicious by voting off a fellow mafia. I have my eye on you.
Note to the vigilante: do not kill this guy. I have a horrible feeling he might be a really, really sh** town/survivor.

I'm going to abstain from voting.

yeah dark is a sh**ty jester, (or he's a mafia/third party that just got caught, and now he's using our belief that he's a jester to **** with us, or he's a gamethrowing town) moving on:

mechadino called out silver for literally no reason

Lynch him.
