Cases in point, Scrap and VB. I don't want to split theirs in half. Posted by: RpJk« on: September 03, 2012, 04:04:55 PM »Its stupid and a waste of time. I rest my case.

In my mind it is a bad idea. PS: What about the people with IRL & Standard in their showcase? Posted by: Thyrus« on: September 03, 2012, 01:28:30 PM »why seperate when people now follow the motto of Robot Arena 2: Design and Destroy.
there are people who build destructive bots and there are people who like to design bots for a good look.

Posted by: Phoenyx« on: September 03, 2012, 01:08:37 PM »I don't support this idea.
solution- stop building irl There's always going to be an interest in IRL. Actually, I think it was an IRL tournament that got me into RA2 in the first place... Like Naryar said, you can skip the showcases that end up with flame wars, bad advice, and bad robots (whether they're IRL or not) in them. Anyway, bottom line is that there's no need to separate IRL from DSL, but doing the opposite and downright banning IRL will definately not solve any problems either.

EDIT- mainly to prevent newfags from joining then making sh**ty bots and hiding behind LOL IRL as an excuse, some ppl can actually build cool looking bots while that merrick guy just built sh** that was ''realistic'' and hid behind that for 8 pages Posted by: Enigm@« on: September 03, 2012, 12:56:24 PM »this is a retarded idea
Posted by: Scorpion« on: September 03, 2012, 12:48:22 PM »There shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as showcases exclusively for "IRL" bots are marked as being just that in the title.
In the case of that Merrick guy, he's just a douche. Posted by: Naryar« on: September 03, 2012, 12:43:22 PM »Nope. We're not splitting showcases.
Besides, you can simply skip the crap showcases. There will always be fights over things on this forum, that is the nature of the beast. It's not like it's necessarily a bad thing... Posted by: NFX« on: September 03, 2012, 12:42:36 PM »I don't think we should split them. They're both using the DSL mod, but they've just got different building styles. Nobody was suggeating this when Thyrus was building IRL three or so years ago, against guys like Naryar, Pwnator, who were at the peak of competitive DSL building. Granted it's more accepted now as a building style, going so far as to have its own tournaments, but I don't think we can really distinct between DSL and IRL, especially when there are so many designs which blur the lines of either style.
