Post pictures of moments from BOTS, some of your favourite old videos, or links to an old thread from the forums.

Dream Team thread (if anyone could recall the actual dream teams, that would be appreciated... I can only remember a few): http://web.archive.org/web/20090208164745/http://phpbb.acclaim.com/bots/viewtopic.php?t=67363&sid=6b446330b7a99c328e1e1ab8204b9169

Ah... A personal favourite of mine. One of our good old "NO IM BETTAR PVPRAR" threads. This thread has been cached up to page 6, which is rather rare. Page 5 will show you a sample of the great wall o' texts from Voo (they were often larger), and from there, Tok and Opti got sidetracked in another one of their little arguments.

How to make a Suggestion

Before we start I'd like to inform everyone that I will now have an active roll in the suggestion part of the forums. This means if your suggestion does not meet the expectations stated below (What not to add), it will be locked shortly after creation. Don't take this personally, I will let you edit it and after it meets my or another staff members expectations, it'll be unlocked for feedback.

Contents
1.0 How to add pictures to your post. (Not required)
1.1 Introduction for your suggestion (Required)
1.2 State what you want improved/changed or added (Required)
1.3 Why you think your suggestion would benefit the community (Required)
1.4 Proof (Required)
1.5 Conclusion (Required)

1.0 Feel free to skip this part (1.0) of the suggestion if you don't need assistance with adding pictures to your suggestion.

Firstly, go to www.tinypic.com - this is a free image hosting site that has no maximum uploads, etc.

You should see this page (advertisements will most probably be different):

Now, click on browse and find the picture that you wish to upload. Once you have located it, click on the green Upload button. You should get a screen that looks like this:

Type what the image says, then click the green Upload button. The text thing is not case sensitive. It will take a few seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the size of the image you have decided to upload.

Once you have done that, you will get a screen that looks like this:

You want to copy the one that says:

Simply post the [IMG] code onto the forums. The picture should show up.

1.1 After you've named your suggestion correctly, make a short introduction. It should introduce what your suggestion is about and why it would be a good idea.

Now that you've made the introduction, you have three options.

Suggest what can be done to improve the aspect
Suggest a aspect that could be added to replace/complement the current one
If your suggestion includes Hacking, scamming, or anything along those lines, please don't make a suggestion

The "aspect" in this example is a new Level cap.

1.2 Now that I've introduced what my suggestion is about (A higher level cap), I will state what it is that I want changed. Some examples can include (for my specific example);
What I want the level cap to be
What I don't like about the current level cap

What you want changed should must be backed up with reason in the next section.

1.3 Why do you think your suggestion will benefit the community?

If your suggestion would not benefit the community in any way, then don't suggest it. Simple. Here's my example;
Having a higher level cap not only benefits those of which aren't level 200, but it also benefits those who are level 200. Why? Because after reaching level 200, the game becomes repetitive. This would give every current level 200 the chance to enjoy the game play again instead of just sitting in lobbies and or pvping all day.

Now that you've come up with a great idea that will help the community and how it'd benefit everyone, explain why it would help, with pictures if possible (not required).

1.3.1 You've explained why it will help the community - now you need to provide some sort of proof.

Proof should be researched (or be prior knowledge). If the suggestion is about my example being a 'Higher Level Cap', proof can include things such as:
New Items for the new level cap
How the players with the higher level will compare to others in Pvp, Sector, and Base
How the level required armor won't overpower any other armors
If they'll be able to complete the current Sectors too easily

1.3.2 And now that you've introduced your suggestion, stated why it would benefit the community and provided evidence, it's time for a conclusion.

A conclusion basically sums up all of your previous points and it should relate to the introduction. Also, if you feel like it, add a little "thank you" message to the bottom of your suggestion, thanking people for reading your suggestion. An example of this is as follows;
In conclusion, I'd like a higher level cap because it benefits the whole community in a positive manor, it keeps us current level 200's busy and active in game, and finally it will introduce new items for the new levels. Thanks for reading.

Once you've successfully completed this outline, your suggestion will not only appeal to the eyes of it's readers, but will also allow staff members to easily find out what you want.

Suggestion Tips

I'm glad to see your interested in sharing your thoughts to help better the playing experience , now you need to know some basic tips that will prevent repetitive topics all concerning the same ideas from being made. This will be updated at will, if you feel something needs to be added, please Private message either myself or any other staff member. That being said, let's get started.

Below is a list of suggestions that have already been made and or considered:
Anti-Hacks
Bringing back the BOTS!! text
Moving to a new forum (includes vBulletin, Invision Power, etc)
Forum Rankings
Increasing/Decreasing Map difficulties
Increasing/Decreasing Level caps
Increasing/Decreasing the current Experience rate
A new Bot type (adding a fourth or even fifth to the current three 'Ram, Patch, Surge')
Having custom forum 'text' colors

Now that we've gotten that list out of the way, we still have another obstacle to tackle. Searching for a suggestion before actually suggesting it is an efficient way to prevent spamming. Of course, if that persons suggestion is slightly different to yours feel free to make a new topic. Just always try to use the Search feature, it's your best friend.

Once again, credit to Kevin.

What not to Suggest

Every other suggestion seems to be about a new game mode, or something very out of the ordinary. Things that were not already in BOTS/BOUT CANNOT be implemented. For example, since there was not a game mode of Capture the Flag, a new game mode cannot be implemented. Please take this into consideration before making a suggestion.

Thank you.

Off Topic / To all staff that applied

March 10, 2011, 08:07:06 PM

What made your application so special?

I consistently see staff denying applications because the application was "just like the rest". So what does it take to become a staff member? Seems to be a popularity contest, since Fira even waits for what the entire community says. So if the community all accepts the person, then that person has a higher chance. I don't find that it's based on the application. The only part that I find to be looked at in an application is grammar/essay skills. >_>

Can't find the thread where you debated truth being absolute or relative, so I'm just going to post this here.

-----

Using your own example against you (although you used it to prove a different point). You said that if a caveman was given a computer, he would assume it was from God. Although to him, the truth is God, there is an absolute truth of what the computer is/where it came from. Just because the caveman believes to the fullest of his heart that his theory is true, that doesn't make it a truth.

Truth is absolute.

Quote from: thegtabotLOL. Wrong. When they can beat you in one hit thats the problem. btw allie I am sad to say but in my day I was a better pvper than you were... Heck, I played with the best of the best. Opti, Remlix, S_A, etc... Hardest was definitely Remlix, because he was pretty much the best pvper in bots at that time. You could go ahead and ask any old player. I am very used to playing with low lvled accounts, it's very fun and makes it plenty harder. But where I get killed in one hit is where it gets kind of annoying. Oh and yes- lvls 50+ is when you actually start getting decent health so obviously you stood a chance. In the normal BOTS I beat lvl 100s on lvl 10 accounts... But the normal BOTS is dead. UGLY PONIESlution is in Closed BETA, so in the mean time I want to give you some pointers on how to make the game better for everyone, and not just specific people. But hey... You are a dictator. >:O.

LOL.

Remlix sucked. Even with his insane tele/evade lag, I could still easily beat him.
