Necrorazors (that's what's supposed to be it's name) don't have much info because they were put in pretty much last minute and I forgot to put the stats in the description. It'll be fixed come the next patch.

I formally request that you disqualify Meganerdbomb's HW. The name is absolutely unacceptable.

Alright, I probably didn't explain myself very well. The reason why Meganerdbomb is doing BOTM is because he offered to take over when I was running late one month due to real-life responsibilities.
Your real life responsibilities are mainly why I asked for additional admins, tbh. It would allow you to focus on IRL responsibilities when you're busy while a secondary admin takes care of GTM day to day.

I can't realistically make GTM better without more people stepping up so that I have time to do these things. On a side note, BOTM was taking 1-2 hours every month with all of the threads, rule checking, file moving/renaming, and result documenting that I was doing. With MNB managing it, I've been able to cut it down to 0.5 hours (since nothing is automated enough for him to do this himself).
...so why not bring on another admin? It would give you more time to do what you need to do when you are on GTM doing backroom stuff while the additional admin takes on lesser tasks such as tussling with the top bar/making descriptions for downloads/making forum announcements and/or responding to feedback, whether it be on here or in Discord.

I'm not exactly sure how BOTM works, nor how it takes an hour or 2, but I'll take your word for it.

Every member of the moderating staff is capable to stopping a spammer with the warning system and they all have a way of contacting me within minutes if it requires my involvement. As an admin, my main responsibility is not to moderate threads (although, I can and do when it is necessary). This all comes back to my comment about distributing my workload so that I don't get bogged down by the day-to-day stuff.
Right now, the mods can only mute/delay spammers until you come along. They used to be able to IP ban spammers until Naryar showed up to the mod team and got that privilege taken away from all of them. If you are opposed to upgrading a moderator to admin, why not at least restore ban privileges to moderators?

What am I not doing that should be done (this sounds sarcastic but I'm truly trying to get a list of things that people feel should to be addressed)? We already have 7 admins, 5 global moderators, and 4 section moderators.

That should be more than enough to take care of a site with less than 80 daily active users. I understand wanting more communication from me and I can work on that but I'm not sure what benefit there would be to having more admin.
You know that at least 4 of our 7 admins are hardly active, the 5th being Click, who hasn't been on in months, then there's ACAMS and you, with ACAMS resigning himself to politics. Clickbeetle was usually fairly active while ACAMS was the top guy on GTM, yet he hasn't been around since April. Remember the last time Darkrat or Starcore paid us a visit? I don't. Unless you're waiting for the day where they make thier return to GTM, I would personally remove the inactive admins and make them veterans. It would certainly open up room for a new admin.

All in all, just being able to talk to any admin would be a benefit, even if it isn't you. From my personal experience, Craig and Kill have been consistently communicative when users have had an issue, while it usually takes days, if not weeks to get something to you. You mentioned having one of the mods transfer communication to you such as BOTM, prizes, and etc. Why not cut out the middle man, or at least have another admin, which will speed up the middle-man process significantly?

Send: I see Chris-san 090901 has been pretty busy.  Unfortunately, this seems very out of place here as it really isn't Halloween themed in the slightest.
But it has "of doom" in the name.

Seriously, the fact that you care so much about a dying SMF board

Site News and Feedback / Trov: It's Time To Stop
« on: October 02, 2016, 03:24:26 PM »
Trovaner. My dude. We know how busy you've been over the past few months, but I'm not entirely sure if GTM is going to be well off with an admin that's almost as inactive as ACAMS was around the time that he called it quits. It's gotten to the point where you're not even around enough to host BOTM, which if I had to guess, probably takes, what, about 15-30 minutes at the most? Meganerdbomb's been hosting it for the past 3 or 4 months now. This concerns me. You even said it yourself:
I'm around but I'm trying to offload some of the work that I do since the work distribution is ridiculous.
While you have every right to focus on your "work distribution" (assuming this just means real-life responsibilities), GTM is at a turning point right now. We've got 3 big league tournaments with big league amounts of entrants going on right now, with one even having forum titles (aka something that requires admin intervention) as a prize for winning. It would be awkward for someone to win, only to not get thier prize that they were promised until months later.

There's also /r/battlebot's redditbots going on right now, which is bringing in extra members. The moderators are doing a good job of keeping people in line, but who will be there if one of them turns out to be a HurricaneAndrew/Noodle/Sparkey-like situation and floods the forum with pictures of jews and porn and Russian /mu/ copypastas? Certainly not one of the other several admins we have. Mods can only mute people and hope they go away, and not smack people with the ban hammer, and the only semi-active admins on GTM are you, and ACAMS (who just sh**posts in politics).

What I would recommend, is upgrading one of your existing moderators to admins. Namely either Craaig or Kill343gs. While they both have thier pros and cons (craig being more consistently active, but doesn't have as much moderation experience, kill being basically the opposite), I feel that either one of them would be the best for the job. Another boon to having these two in particular be admin, is the fact that the Discord chat offers a direct line of real-time contact to them, as opposed to waiting for them to log on to GTM and respond to a PM you send them. The link to the discord chat has been sitting on the forum for about 2 months, is available to anyone to join, and has amassed roughly 50 members.

edit: Just an FYI, I'm not telling you to step down ACAMS style Trov, just saying that it would be a good idea to upgrade one of the more active mods to admin so that some of the ridiculous work load is at least partially offset to someone else.

tl;dr - make me admin read the post please

1. There's a lot of heavy components to help make IRL builds more combat effective. You can't weapon spam on IRL bots, so you can put a few heavy spikes on and retain realism. Quite a few of the AI bots make use of this.

2. Hammer motors are the equivalent of DSL's geared betas, and are AI'd the same way (electrichammer.py). I feel they're a bit weak though, so they may get buffed. Maybe, maybe not. We'll see.

I'm looking into hovercrafts havoking, part of it is RA2 being RA2 (see: stock HS) and another part is axles being heavy to prevent non-flyers from havoking. Not sure if I will be able to do much about it. My advice for now is to simply use a larger, non-batterybox chassis like you would for a havoking DSL or Ironforge bot.

Just as a note, I haven't forgotten about this. I fully intend on working on new arenas, rebalancing and mechanics for the next patch.

Probably because you're using an HS chassis for a gutripper. Make it wider and longer, maybe give it a single wedge too.

I suggested Krokodil to him in the discord chat, but he won't use it because he is a lameass.

Hey fam.

GTM's gotten it's own official tournament. It'd be cool if you checked it out. Maybe you could show some of those youngsters a thing or 2.

all these other guys are building extender cages and i'm just sitting here like







Infrared. About 2550 kg and Alu 10. A lot of the components (mainly wheels, motors and weapons) were .txt edited so that I don't have an AW's worth of weaponry on a UHW.
