This is TCB challenge number 33 back from the old days when it was still active.
Use the map and scheme provided in the description.

- Place 2 worms on the start.
- Both worms have to reach the finish (so either on top of the word finish or below it)

The run I just got was a result of me and Deadcode bouncing ideas off each other, was kind of hard to avoid collaborating when we were both talking about the challenge on mIRC ;O. But yeah he's been working on a TA run, so I got some ideas from that, as well as put some in. He's trying to make that run fairly perfect, it's definitely gonna surprise people :0.

I can see where Statik's coming from, what's the point in making the replays unavailable in the first place? :P

I got the better part of the deal, in this collaboration (my 153 second non-TA run was from before, when I was still ignorant!) but it's gone both ways. So I wanted to be open about it.

Of course D1 or MI should step in if I'm wrong about this, but, Statik and ssm, if you want to team up, then why not? But if you do (or have already), it would be nice if you let us know here on this thread. (van has already retired from the challenge, so you can't team up with him.)

As for the point in making the replays unavailable... well, for one thing, it forces you to figure out how to solve the challenge to completion yourself, even if the way you find isn't the fastest. In TCB it worked differently; once you got your replay for a particular challenge accepted, you could download all the others for that challenge. But this TUS way does have its own merits; it puts the focus on a small number of challenges at any given time, which can make each one more exciting.

I personally have no problem with that, because when you collab, at least you're still working to find the best sollution. In addition to that, how can I stop people from secretly doing it? _ssm_ and statik have very similar replays, so I can't tell if they have worked together either, only they know :)

This challenge was interesting while people tried to find different solutions by themselves. Now if all will collaborate and exchange replays, all runs will be similar and only the best performance wins, that's dumb. Enjoy:

My opinion is just the same as DarkOne's.

Statik if you think it is dumb, then why you share your attempt?
Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

Perhaps 30 days is a bit too long? I'd go for 2 weeks tops, maybe even less, to keep things entertaining.

Kinda sad to see statik quit, was a nice run, man. I actually like the idea of best performance being done, but you're right, it should be done after the challenge's expire date, thus the shorter time frame for it.

edit: attached the rep of my final run cus love worms drama (now that's it's too late and it doesn't matter anyway)

Because it's fair to other people.

Did I miss something? Somebody shared his replay sooner? Where's the fair part?

It's actually unfair: Dc and Mablak may have been working, but they both worked on finding a solution and they did not get any help from someone else.
Now anyone can download the replay and know the solution without doing any work. Unfair to the people who put effort into their solutions.
