and I've never even seen Serge build a bot.

Mainly because I suck at building them.

Somthing you can't do?

There's a lot of things I can't do.

Bots were different in our era. Style mattered a lot more than how many maces we could fit on a boring little chassis.

SHOWCASE NAO

I really do wanna see some classic style sbots from other members.

I'll do my best to rebuild my classic bots when I finally get around to reinstalling. People will complain about the size of my chassis on all of my bots, but I won't care. The paint job has always been more important to me anyway.

I won't. Like RFS, I hate most modern building, I have a ton of realistic bots that I never show. One of the things I hate is the "Airtight chassis" crap, it's the complete opposite IRL. But then again, IRL dosn't kill your bots when the chassis is hit.

Yep, it was seeing how many iron spikes we could fit on a badass little chassis. Maybe that is why everybody said my bots were overloaded.....what ever the

that means. (would be like saying a millionaire is loaded and a billionaire is overloaded I guess)

Veteran status SHOULD be warranted by building or modding skills. It IS an RA2 forum after all. Being here super long is no warrant by itself.

I also think Veterans should be somewhat scarce so they actually mean something.

Personally I think RObO and Scrap deserve it as well.

If that's the case, you have to include Jack Daniels too.

Not necessarily. You and Scrap are twice the builder JD is, in both DSL and stock. Even if he's been around long.

Just my opinion.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Sage is right & I totally agree. I can skin bots better than both of them though. :P

I like being an AU & I appreciate that title very much. I am surprised that everyone makes such a big deal of the titles on this forum.

Think of it this way. You could sit in a pretty office on the highest floor of the tallest building in your city. On the front of the door could have, in big shiny gold letters, your name and "CEO" right after it. Signifying you are important. Ultimately, though, if you are dick... everyone is still going to think you are a despite your title. So, earn your respect and cherish when people look up to you even if you don't have a title. :P

yeah but yours are creative and not "lets see how many bots I can build on the same chassis"
And the crazy Face spinner popup, witch I' m suprised hasn't taken off.

Weren't you one of those smelly AceUplink people?

Veterans or not. A title is a title. There are some great contributes on these forums. Whether they are vets or not. There will be some mixed views as many said before on what a veteran really is. I think its interesting though as to how some of us became vets in the first place. Some of the Old world vets like frezal here makes an excellent point on how Vets were "introduced into the group" while some new world vets are more noted for their contributions.

AU is the main place my bots were called overloaded. (probably because I ripped them to shreds in online battles)

So I guess you're to blame for the way kids build bots these days. Or Starcore. His AI packs always made me scream, "AHHH!!! YOUR BOTS ARE TOO COMPLICATED!!!"

ACAMS · « **Reply #73 on:** July 28, 2010, 06:57:56 PM »

Blame Starcore, Rejected, infiniteinertia, and Pwn.......I had just about quit building bots about the time Starcore did SCv2.

It would be cool for you to start a showcase.

Wow, I don't think I've made any Grammar errors today.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #75 on:** July 28, 2010, 07:02:20 PM »

Starcore's packs made me create RA2GE. For those who felt inadequate.

You switched tenses mid-sentence, and "grammar" shouldn't be capitalized :P

Quote from: Naryar on September 24, 2008, 01:35:52 PM

You know that IRL, bot builders especially in the smaller weight classes do make tight chassis?

And you brought this up before, but I can't find it.
