Yes, yes more WSes. They're my favorite bot because they're Not Generic.. I'm tired of generic bots.

How about a spider WS that spins its body as a weapon and deals damage?

Oh. Here's the back end...

Nice to hear.
I don't know how, but I built a LW triple-snapper popup weighing in at 247.8 kg. 2 pinks and a nifty for power. Interesting fact- it's NOT at all like Scrabble. Scrabble actually has 2 razors n a DDT, not 2 snappers.

We should vote on new moderators. It's not a bad idea.

I'd like to see INf. build another famous mace HS. Absolute Chaos is a little outdated.

I'll make sure GTM returns to full glory.

Okay sure you do that totally...

This community has done a lot for me in the past 6 months. Given the recent developments, all I can say is that I hope this community recovers from the loss of several members and moves toward the future at full speed.

Same here. This is why I develop an excess of tutorials and downloads- putting new things in GTM makes it more of a surprise.

in all honesty i'm glad this place still exists. it's still kind of a cesspool but it's always been that way. take it from someone who has been here longer than almost anyone at this point.
we actually don't have noticeably less members active than we did in 2008 when i joined, as strange as that may sound. the main difference i notice is showcase activity is a ghost town. but i'm not really sure there is a way to change that at this point. after posting tens of thousands of designs on an unfinished budget game there isn't much left that's new or shiny anymore. CF added some new flair but it's definitely a two-edged sword and unfortunately made a lot of what made RA2 fun in the first place for me and others mostly disappear. That said I'm glad people still play this even if it's not my preferred method of play. It's not my choice and it shouldn't be.

RA2 will always be a special game to me just because it let me be creative and build designs well, and gtm let me talk with others who shared the same interests. i'm not that in touch with the community anymore because most of the reasons for me to be here have gone (good building) and the people I was here with have mostly left. also i'm old and senile people don't know how to use these computers. I browse showcases and stuff but it just won't be as active as it once was. I'm glad it's been around for 15 years and that I got to be part of it.
Hope you guys can come to good conclusions for the next generation of builders. building is the most important part of GTM and tournaments count as that imo. I just hope people keep building.

I'll make sure GTM returns to full glory.

This WS combines the strengths of all my other WS.
Building a robust WS
1. Chassis adjusted as shown. Armor is 1 mm. Steel.

2. Tornado Mag is up 3 notches.

3. Tribar is large, and hammers are 30 kg. Sledgehammers.

4. Baseplate anchor is up 3 notches. Attach an 80 cm. Lexan plate onto it. Add LEDs to take up leftover weight.

I like some of the ideas in here, but it feel bad to had kill left the community.

A 'mute topic' button
actually this is a great idea

Okay, that's a problem. Members will use the "mute topic" button as a weapon to fight back when their topics are muted. I think the "mute topic" button should only be in the hands of moderators.

bildschirm's entry is accepted and ai'd (not really ai'd since I had IRL stuff to do)

redalert's fix (actually a replacement bot) is rejected (Overweight.)

so yeah,   
Gah!

Sticking to the topic. A lot more community based tournaments I think would help.

Also this MAY be a long shot, but why not weekly challenges? On the front page you get given a meta and certain building criteria, (e.g Stock/Shuffler/Futuristic Theme or DSL-IRL/LW/Animal theme). All entrants have 6 days to submit their entries and on Day 7 the winner is decided and that bot gets featured on the front page.

A lot of games use stuff like weekly objectives and challenges to keep their userbase continiously interacting with the game, so maybe weekly building challenges will help GTM users maintain interest with building by giving them that chance at featuring on the front page.

Great idea. Then, those weekly competitors get put into AI packs that members can download.

chassis seems very nice and compact, you did a good job minimizing chassis space. like superbomb said the armor panels look a bit messy, work on making it look more clean.

Again, I'm very new to DSL, so I still have much to learn.
Messy? I fail to see how, but It does a bang-up job in combat.

I need to build some hammers and more wandering spinners since I'm hosting a personal tournament. (I'm hosting a personal because my public one isn't doing so well at the moment...)
They're all very incoherent. There's no real "flow" to the panelwork. It's like you just slapped on a bunch of panels. It would look a lot better if they looked more connected and flowed into each other better

not trying to change the subject, but we're currently looking into appointing someone to head admin to fill kill's position

it's not set in stone yet, but we do want to have it set up to where the userbase has direct influence over who takes the position

also I'm going to bed for now so this is on hoppin for now. please clap
Clap
I vote for Geese/Hop as admin
Clap

How about someone who doesn't have a role? I think we should vote on someone who seems worthy to take the position.
