Description:
Another of our world's greatest mysteries has been solved. Yes, this is what really happens in the fraction of a second, when sudden death calls and one false step becomes lethal. Show us how inventive you are and help extend our SD machine with new and ever so gruesome methods of torment!

Rules and objectives:

- Start the game with a team of eight worms and another team with any number of worms. Place each of the eight worms of the first team inside the little blue cages and the other worms anywhere else.
- Try to bring the eight trapped worms down to 1 HP by any means you can think of. You will only receive points for a worm, if its HP are on 1 - no more, no less.
- You get 10 points for a worm with 1 HP, minus the amount of weapons it took you to acquire that goal. Grave damage counts as a weapon.
- You're allowed to kill the worms that are placed outside the blue dots.
- The worms that are stuck in the blue dots are not allowed to deal damage.
- The purpose of this challenge is to have high variability in weapons use. If you get a worm down to 1 HP with 2 very similar techniques, they will be counted as duplicates. Only the worm that got you the highest score of the 2 will then be counted.
- If you use a weapon more than one turn on a worm, it will count as 2 separate weapons.
- Note: If a worm dies after it reached 1 HP, you will get no points for it. If you hit more than one worm with one weapon, 1 point will be subtracted from the initial 10 for each of them.

Ranking method:

- More points rank higher.

The description is a bit long (cause of exceptions and such), but what it boils down to is this:

Get the worms inside the blue dots down to 1 HP.
Do so with as little weapon use as possible (less weapons = more points).
If you kill a worm (even after you got it down to 1 HP), you get no points for that worm.

+ Use a different combination of weapons on each worm.

I'm way behind with checking replays, so I'm probably going to slow down uploading TCB challenges :o

A little heads up for those interested in this challenge:
I've seen some people use minigun on every target - I'm going to count that as using the same weapons if there's a worm that gets down to 1 with just a minigun.

So if you have one worm that gets down to 1 with just a minigun and you have one worm that gets down to 1 with a minigun and battle axe, you'll only get 9 points for those 2 worms (the 8 points worm is invalid).

I'm also going to recheck currently accepted replays to check if I didn't do that there.

The idea behind this challenge was to have variety in weapons use. People who use the same weapon over and over to get targets down to very low HP go against that principle idea, so they don't get points for that.

Since I realise this goes against the rules as they are written down, I will change the description: your turns for each worm has to be unique. If there are too many similarities, I will count them as duplicates.

I will also extend the deadline for a couple more weeks to give people time to edit their submissions according to these guidelines.

That video is horrible!









Didn't even get one target down to 1 HP, went too far on all of them.

I have no idea what's going on here how to judge this challenge...

I've watched through the replay for Deadcode, he uses Jetpack then falls for multiple turns in a row. The rules say "If you use a weapon more than one turn on a worm, it will count as 2 separate weapons." though it doesn't say what happens if you don't use a weapon, as Jetpack and Ninja Rope etc are utilities. It also says "If you get a worm down to 1 HP with 2 very similar techniques, they will be counted as duplicates", and i'm not sure whether to combine those last 2 rules or not???

I wish Darkone was here to judge this!

Also, Darkone posted saying Deadcode got a score of 72 points and the record waiting to approved only says 69 points, I haven't been this confused about something for about 10 years!

This is the only pending challenge left, it's bugging the hell out of me!

HELP!
