Camelot Hysteria Cup

Since I returned to the game (a week ago), I have not noticed that they were playing hysteria. Is it played here?

I will look at the number of players for the cup

P.S - Mod, confirm sooner please

Jee! Finally someone initiated Hysteria competition!
I'm joining in

- telecow/jetcow and tele/jet suicide is NOT allowed;

*greatly confused face*
otherwise I'd like to join, but this doesn't make sense it's all part of the hysteria scheme..

This version of Hysteria with house rules is indeed a bit unbalanced via having luck due to not being able to pile when you get horrible placements and lose a lot of worms fast.

Though there is still a huge amount of skill involved with top players, comebacks are entirely possible if you are good enough(also lucky enough with wind).

There is a healthy amount of players who enjoy these house rules and it's nice to see any kind of activity supporting TUS. I'd be more than happy to stream as many of these matches as possible.

You can't pile worms or get extra grave damage via jetpack or teleport, it doesn't say anything about shooting yourself or walking/jumping to pile other worms.

another thing, how would it be moderated what is a telecowing move and what is not? if it's 10 pixels far away it's telecow, but 30 pixels are okay to do?
this feels too strict over a theory that you don't prefer to play in hysteria, a certain gamestyle that you dislike very much (piling with tele + jet, suicides). like you were a referee on the football pitch making sudden decisions on your own about the rules

If you use 'Teleport' to pile enemy worms, then it's a 'Telecow' via house rules.

If you use 'Jetpack' to pile enemy worms, then it's a 'Jetcow' via house rules.

If you use 'Teleport' to deal damage with suicide to enemy worms, then it's a 'Telecide' via house rules.

If you use 'Jetpack' to deal damage with suicide to enemy worms, then it's a 'Jetcide' via house rules.

It's very simple, distance is irrelevant.

Moderators of Cups can make any house rules they wish for their event and all participants must respect this if they choose to participate.

I think the Selecsteria scheme has long since solved the telecow/jetcow problem for those who don't like it.  I recently hosted a cup according to this scheme - click here

Well, it looks interesting, and I would not mind changing the rules, but will those who signed up for the cup support my decision?

added: However, it sometimes surprises me how much the ability to change settings for game schemes has increased.
But at the same time, I do not want the classic gameplay of the scheme to suffer.

Rules changed - telecow is allowed.

All other rules unchanged

I've never actually saw this combination of rules played before, quite interested to see how it plays out with allowing piling by any means though no suicide via teleport/jetpack.

Honestly, I like these rules, telecow balances the gameplay, and no sui expedites the gameplay because you dont have to hide your worms under cover, I would say, well played, Lancelot

I think this is the best combination available for fast action that isn't reliant on starting positions and luck

I'm glad someone is positive about some of the things I do here

I wanted to say that I am not interested in the players suffering in any way playing in my cup. I don't know who thinks about this, but I'll say on my own that this scheme has most of the gameplay due to shooting skills than tactical skills.

btw cup starts with 12+ players in register list. 16 will be very nice.

paired.

Good luck to everyone, try not to delay games over time.

so for final, tele and jet suicides are not allowed, but tele and jetcows are ok? (:
