Naryar
More or less wanted to create his own Wiki page.
Arrived on the Gametechmods forums in March 2008. Still posts a lot. Particularly fond of quoting really old posts to prove his point, also known as Archivist tactics.
With Flying_Chao, Somebody and Urjak, did contribution to this Wiki.
He is the first of six members to achieve the Superheavyweight post status on Gametechmods, (The others being Somebody, Sage, System32, Urjak, and Reier in that order) and the second French BBEANS champion with Cooker. He is the first BBEANS Champion to emerge as a winner from the loser's bracket.
While he is hell bent at beating R0B0SH4RK in every single tournament they are in (Naryar beat him twice in the finals of BBEANS4 and WRL, but lost to him in Brawl of the Builders) as well as the occasional flame war between the two, it seems he has a lot of respect for his rival.
Fifth in BBEANS ratings.
Also the creator of the NAR AI pack, a DSL AI pack that ups the difficulty of the DSL AI bots by several notches. Currently at it's v2 version.
And as a last tidbit, he is the first Wiki moderator.
Bot building
DSL: Voted as top DSL builder by the community twice (he is not sure he is though). A Gut-ripper bot specialist, particularly True popups (One of his earned him one championship). As Cataclysm showed, he is also relatively good at SnS, and a Wammer fan. He considers himself as a rather creative builder.
Dislikes generic bots - that is cloning, as well as any bot which overuses flail weapons, especially flail shell spinners. Crawlers, especially with flails, are also known to trigger his rage (see Going Nary)
Stock: A good builder in overall, but has issues stacking. He believes strongly Popups are the best bots and has some kind of grudge against horizontal spinners in tournaments. Dislikes generic bots too. Hates crawlers in tournaments - that shown when he whacked Sage for entering "Cheap Win 3000" in BBEANS5. Very rarely builds in stock now, diverting most of it's attention to DSL building.
For some reason he seems to have really bad luck in Stock tournaments.

Tournament Robots
Hazardous Contraption: DSL MW Juggler. Fast, damaging and probably one of the best skirt hinge wedges ever built, Hazcon still is one of Naryar's best DSL MWs in his words. BBEANS4 champion. Main issue is being not invertible, and the weak chassis armor doesn't seems to be a big problem.
Infernal Contraption 2: DSL HW Juggler HazCon's bigger brother. Twice the drive, 5 times the armor and probably also twice the weaponry and twice the weapon power. Wedges were comparatively inferior to Hazcon's though. Ranked 5th in RAW 1 and won the rumble, as well as the prize for Best Built Robot. Contrarily to it's small brother, Infernal Contraption benefited from many rebuilds and now sports much more efficient wedges.
Hope No More 3.2: DSL HW True Popup, was Naryar's best HW before he built the NAR AI v1 robots.. Fast drive, very good wedges and damaging weapon made that bot the Wild Robots Live 1 champion. However, the bot (even if invertible) can't self right and is less than average when inverted. Also large and exposed wheels. Barely follows the DSL realistic rule.
Cataclysm: DSL HW SnS. Naryar wanted to build something outside the norm (and that was Pinball clones when Cataclysm was built) and it ended with 3WD E-tek drive with Techno Destructo wheels and 285 kg of hammers on 3 bars. It was entered in GUMBA and went second, losing twice to Madiaba's Skinhead.
PitA series: Also Pain in the Ass. A series of Stock HW popups - the first was Naryar's first HW popup, and it was Naryar's best HW at this time according to him. PitA went through major rebuilds, and the current one is PitA 8, entered in BBEANS 5. It has excellent Snapper2 wedges and a full caster armored chassis wedge (like the 7th but more protective), but the razors fall very fast if they hit enough weapons, and the slope of the caster armored wedge is quite high, making it difficult to climb by other bots (especially other wedges that have a nasty tendency to interlock between two casters).
It beat its 2 first opponents easily (Acupuncture, a rammer, and Three Kings, a disc HS). It faced then the mighty Absolute Chaos (BBEANS), and lost, to InfiniteInertia's surprise. Then, entering into the loser's bracket, to everyone's amazement, lost to Insult to Injury V, an unarmored vertical spinner with only a chassis wedge.
Raptor Knight: Stock HW Hammer bot (both side and vertical designs) built for the Jousting Tournament King of Karnage It was submitted to JoeBlo as merely a prototype to ensure it works/ met the rules correctly, however the final version never made the deadline and as a result, JoeBlo entered in the prototype as Naryars Entry, still Baring the default plastic armour texture, Raptor Knight actually managed to dominate various matches and eventually go on to win the whole tournament.
Pillar of Pain: Stock LW Pillar of Fire ripoff, and Naryar's entry into Reier's Robo Rumble 1. Failed because of severe lack of stability.
Ancient Curse: Stock MW True Popup and Naryar"s entry in Doomed Bots. A decent bot, managed to get 2 wins in the loser's bracket after losing to 40757's popup (even if Naryar claimed to have good wedges)
Blade Barrier: DSL MW Wammer entered in Craaig's Rust in Pieces. Naryar believes it is simply his best MW, and tested it against the NAR AI with excellent results. It won it's first two fights against Somebody and Jonzu95, but got KOed by Pwnator's True Popup, triggering Naryar's rage.
Fallen Hero: DSL 3WD MW flail SnS and Iron Storm 5 ripoff, entered in Clash Cubes 3.. Has not fought yet (as of 1/14/10), but has received positive feedback so far and Naryar considers it his second best MW.
