If we have to use as an acronym BAR then how about:

Bluestone's aggressive reaction

This deals with the situation where someone behaves like a jerk in the game and Bluestone bans them.

I have a suggestion about balance. I'm sure it has been mooted before so forgive me in advance if I am repeating something that has already been discussed ad nauseum. One part of balance is ensuring that both teams are relatively even in their overall abilities. Obviously we already have tools that ...

Please can the elephants have eyes that fire laser beams.

Let me understand this: it is suggested that there should be "moar realism" in a game about large intelligent warlike fictional robots who, for reasons unclear, are fighting other large intelligent warlike fictional robots, on fictional planets, as played by grown men, some of whom appear ...

On a similar note, Bluestone, I have ingeniously hidden a nail in a haystack. The haystack is not a proper haystack with the nail in it. Please can you remove the nail? Just to create a harder challenge, I won't tell you where the haystack actually is and I have made the nail out of plastic so that ...

For my part I am surprised to learn that Xanax is in fact a dog.

That is really quite interesting. I shall keep my eyes out for you doing this then.

More death messages:

Player [ ] didn't want to play this silly game anyway.

Player [ ] blames all his teammates, compendiously, for everything from and including original sin.

Player [ ] should not consider this death but instead a severe test of his bonhomie and lively sense of humour.

How about: NBXA, namely Not Bloody Xanax Again?

So in BA we have T1 gunships. However, I can't think of the last time I actually made any or saw any decent player (by which I define as: a player materially better than me) make any. They are basically otiose. In saying that I also take into account that sometimes - just sometimes - they get deploy...

As regards death messages: "Player [ ] came. He saw. He died really horribly." "Player [ ] didn't just buy the farm. He bought an outdoors toilet and the next door neighbour's cabbage patch as well." "Player [ ] took on the Grim Reaper at chess and came out second." &qu...

4. Mental age of a 13 year old boy award For the person who draws the most penises (peni? what is the plural?) on a map. I really think we should have such an award if we are going to have such awards because we do want it recognised that this kind of thing is puerile. 5. World's worst techer award ...

I have a few ideas for further BA community specific awards. They are as follows: 1. Bobbel award This award should be given to the player who made the most HLTs in any game. 2. Xanax award This award to be given to any player who killed Xanax. Obviously it is quite difficult to work out who precise...

Jazcash, that reminds me, what nick are you playing under at the moment?

I've been wondering this question for a few days and I wanted to throw it open to the community for general comments. Why do I think RZBX could be, in fact, a skilfully coded bot? There are a number of reasons. 1. Everytime this entity appears, *exactly* the same thing happens. The entity invariably...

The changes to the Juno look interesting. I've never built one to date as I don't really see what use it has. So I like the suggested changes. One idea that someone suggested during a game the other day, which is kind of a crazy idea but maybe amusing, is that the Juno, wherever it fired, would crea...

I'm feeling very impish today so I was wondering whether I'd get away with observing that the most unbalanced thing on BA is the egos of some of the players. Some players have ENORMOUS egos. Others, not so large egos. Hence why certain people get very angry very quickly and then rage quit.

How about we indulge in some rudeness for oldtimers.

For example, er ... Jazcash looks like a Krogoth!

How's that?

Change of topic. The download link to the latest iteration of BA seems not to be working from this page:

You click on the link and you get a file not found error message.

@Epicentre Yes, I was spectating in that game and you may recall I made a couple of consoling remarks to you. My recommendation is to ignore the rudeness. As it happens the other player who was being rude to you wasn't playing much better than you so don't take it to heart. The remarks made reflect ...
