I am sorry Johnny, but I honestly couldn't disagree with you more, and I honestly mean no offence.

Your opinion has already been discussed in the previous 7 pages. This isn't changing tus, it is adding to it. Roper since the beginning of worms history has been the overall most popular scheme in league games. TEL is really popular right now and is a huge success. Its my opinion, that a roper league would be similarily successful.
Sorry but, if you add to something, you change it, if you take away from something, you change it, etc.
Roper has only been the most popular scheme 'overall' for one main reason, because it looks cool and is fun to play even when you suck at it, the effect of rope is now wearing off, and people are starting to enjoy more tactical and consistent games, the Roper scheme we have now is seriously flawed and you should really considering anything possible to come up with a more efficient scheme IF TRL actually takes off.
Quote from: Johnny on December 21, 2010, 10:42 PMNot to knock the shopper scheme or the people who love shopper, but, roper differs from shopper in many ways. Roper is the oldest and most classic scheme in tus, roper is picked more often then shopper. A roper league would encourage more oldschool wormers to play again. In my opinion roper is more deserving of its own league.
Roper is just as old and classic as Elite/BnG/T17 (in TuS), they all share the same status when it comes to describing schemes as "classic".
While a Roper League would most definately be really active and alot of fun, I don't see any reason to believe it would encourage more oldschool wormers to play again, what do you base this knowledge on? I think most oldschool wormers that don't play anymore stopped playing because they either found better games, got bored, or personal life became too busy with careers or whatever not because TRL wasn't invented yet
Even
if oldschool wormers decided to come and play(which if they did, would be nice for sure), I really really doubt any of them would last, they might play for a few months, get bored again, and get back to their lifes.
I agree that TRL would be much better than a TSL though lol.
Quote from: Johnny on December 21, 2010, 10:42 PMIf you want a tus shopper league I suggest starting your OWN thread and poll and try to make it happen. A tus shopper league has nothing to do with this thread or this poll.
I agree they should start their own thread, but, you must appreciate/respect and understand their side of the debate, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I'm going to change my vote to yes, while I don't think TRL would be the best thing ever, I would still like to play some games against really good ropers now and again and see how far I can get, considering I started out on Wnet with Ropers, I actually feel like I should support this, I have alot of great memories with this scheme and played with some talented and very nice players, and besides, the world won't end if TRL starts.
