Everyone else, 0 points Thank You List(details on what each person did probably doesn’t mention everything they did)TMRaven, got pictures for 3 of the divisions (2nd-3rd generation and most of 4th generation) and helped with scoringHarakiri Tiger, got pictures for 1st generationFromCheng, got pictures for 5th generationMajor Kolton, got some pictures for 4th generationAtaraxis, helped with scoringTearsin and Zealous, covered the contest in some of TRVEveryone who submitted designsEveryone who submitted designs that weren’t just PvP competitive designs (I know who you are)Everyone who votedEveryone who voted seriouslyEveryone who thought that the aesthetics part of this contest is good (huehuehuehue)Everyone else that helped Overall ThoughtsWell, this contest was much bigger than last time. The battle for my heart went well. This contest did feel more refined and it was nice to see some decal use in 5th generation, but I’ve seen better. Adding RR was a good move if you ask me. ACU by far brought the most to this contest (again) which doesn’t surprise me. ACL going down hampered this contest a little bit, but I spread this contest to multiple sites, so whatever. This contest was definitely fun and hopefully the next contest will be even better. As far as the divisions go, I believe that 2nd generation was the strongest. Some of the better designs in the contest were here and none of them were ugly (except Pansy, Pedobear Assault is still amazing). After that is 3rd generation which actually had my favorite design, Omega. 1st generation was a little weaker than 3rd generation, but I feel that 1st generation from last contest was better. 5th generation was way better than last time, but still a weaker division. 4th generation for me was a horrible division with nothing that I particularly liked. As far as BftQH goes, it was a fun division. Guess I have to give my heart to Ataraxis now. As far as a next contest goes, I won’t be hosting it. TMRaven will probably host it and for me, I’ll be able to try and figure out who made what, something I can’t do as host.

Nomrah Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Thanks Drac, picture takers, vote counters, designers, voters, pretty much everyone who got involved. Well Keanu, it's been a ride. GG. Huckleberry rules, also you made Skeeter, my unofficial favorite fun bot. TM, the struggle between Retenie and Junkyard Dog was a memorable one, truly had me going. Niji that cheerleading. Also Keanu, new scandal involving the Queen's heart!After that is 3rd generation which actually had my favorite design, Omega.

Ataraxis Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) @ Nomrah: Drac left his heart to the people; I see no scandal here. For anyone that's interested, the top bots in each category, broken down by how they did at each forum: MoAACL: Sludge DreddRR: Disgruntled Shoe SalesmanACU: Sludge Dredd AAACL: Administrator/RetenieRR: Wrought IronACU: Haze/Lone Stranger/Junkyard Dog LRACL: D-A-DRR: HuckleberryACU: Omega/Akimbo Avelyn fAACL: WarhoundRR: FingerboomACU: Fingerboom VDACL: WyvernRR: ZenithACU: Alphonse BftQHACL: D-A-DRR: ZenithACU: Sludge Dredd Also, I kind of wanted to comment on how my bots came to be, soooo... MoA After the last contest, Drac was throwing around ideas for next (this) time, and one of the things he considered was bots that worked as a pair. One of my first ideas was black/dark and white/light, and I rolled with that in MoA. They have no real connection beyond that. On Achrobatic, I started with the gun, and wanted to incorporate the RZ-Fw2 radar, but I couldn't use it on both sides, and I really wanted a third colour in there - but it had to be light. The missile packs I used did the job on that front, and I liked how the geometry kind of matched up with the forearms. As for the frame, I was keen on making an RJ, and I wanted the option of stripes in there where possible. The head was a hard choice, and I strongly considered the HD-ONE, but ultimately thought it looked too small while also preferring the HD-ZERO's contribution to a more rounded and spacey/floaty idk appearance (which works well for me with an RJ). The end result is something that, as TM concluded, very much resembles the aesthetic sensibilities of a shoe. The name comes from achromatic + acrobatic + bat (cuz vote 4 bats). I felt this bot was really understated, much like Fukei's Face of Bear from last time. Of note; someone on RR commented that it reminded them of an arena bot. The closest I could find was a tank from MoA. For Sludge Dredd, I drew heavy (yes, heavy) inspiration from TM's #ThickSkin. The goal was to make something that just plain looked big, badass, and mean. Thankfully, by combining some of my favourite parts, that's where I ended up. For the weapons, I wanted good variation, and tried to pick a group that had a cohesive colour scheme. The right hand missile pack has a colour that sticks out a fair bit, but I've grown to like it. The offset appearance of the missile packs, the head looking like a helmet, and the gun itself all reminded me of Judge Dredd's attire and weaponry, but I felt the colours were more in tune with something grimier. I am the law. AA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pysanka The colour scheme ends up looking like an unglazed egg would in black, red, and yellow. These colours are fairly common in pysanky, and work well together thematically. The general shape of the frame is triangular to have a geometric theme, as well as an agressive appearance. The weapons and boosters remind me of styli in various stages of their life. The back units are actually supposed to be more like the jars the eggs are dyed in, though I may have related them to geometry on batcast from being pretty tired at that point. I don't think I could have made it better for what I wanted to do with it. Pansy is a mistake. I wanted to make a hover with a really blocky appearance and it just didn't work out for me, but it was like 4 A.M. so I submitted it anyway. I didn't actually have that head available to me, and just assumed it'd look okay. I felt like it was a weak entry and the colours were kinda flowery, so...pansy. I like it better than that other hover, but it's still awful. LR For Tourette:the draci really admire acs that dont try to look like acs and the head/arm combo on the quad do just that.So that's that for the most part. Wasn't sure about the YASYA, but ultimately decided it added some punch (which this design still needs more of) without detracting anything. The head is the CICADA, and with or without TM's angle magic, it sits super low and fits right in. I feel like adding much else would've hurt the concept. The paint makes me happy. Oh, and the name. Like turret, except you never know when it's gonna go off. With Huckleberry, I wanted to make a lightweight with lots of detailed parts. After making the frame, I really wasn't sure what else to do with it, but I thought it looked really frail, and that reminded me of Doc Holliday. So I gave it white pistols, painted on an outfit (specifically from the scene in Tombstone where he says "I'm your huckleberry" to Johnny Ringo the first time), and swapped some parts (the head being the biggest departure) for better thematic matches. I should like it more than I do, but I'm honestly kind of indifferent to it. fA After mowing the lawn and being outside all day, I was covered in mosquito bites. Also, I was tired, so I decided to screw around with the paint and Skeeter was on my mind. Honk honk. Uhhhhh...Bongo Banner. Yeh, AC4 is a pain in the ass to design in, so I just make blocky AC. I liked the back weapons 'cuz they looked like bongos. Then I painted it green and purple like The Hulk. Bongos + Bruce Banner. It's trash. VD I didn't have the parts and apparently they can't be traded to you. I picked stuff that I thought looked cool from the VD website, and Pie built it so I could see it as well as giving some input when parts didn't work out. I like 'em both. The names both being what they are (high and baked) is coincidental and I didn't even realize it until well after the fact. I had a lot of fun with the contest, but I was really only happy with about half my bots. Even last contest, I had a few that I was very 'meh' on. Next contest, I just want to be happy with all my submissions. Overall, I probably enjoyed fA the most, and I seem to be the only one that feels that way. Nomrah and Taurus had the best write ups, but Nomrah is a gat for only doing one division. You should still do the rest even though contest is over you butt.

Nomrah Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ata I expect some rampant gloating over nomrah for this victory.wow now, I topped Keanu three out of the six divisions, one of which I lost for being a no show for 4th gen("come heavy or not at all" rule states that Keanu gets a point for that.) Besides Keanu already touched on the subject. Also, I concede that I only got 3/6 and ergo Nomrah wins the battle between us. GG. I'm still the fkn law tho. Enough of that though, I came heavy and it certainly appears he did as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ataraxis Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Nomrah said in chat that he doesn't accept his victory and that the battle rages on. So basically we're gonna continue trying to crush each others' nuts come next contest, which is gonna be hard considering we've both got balls of steel.
