Title: Cup #1169, Jetpack & Nade
Post by: SIBASA on August 25, 2022, 01:56 PM
Is it allowed to specifically plop your worm in order to appear at the place where its turn began and continue moving, thereby reducing the distance?

We could technically start with 12 people, but I have decided to extend the sign up period to the 1st of September. By doing so, not only ''may'' we get more people, but we also get to start at 1st of September, and the cup can end at 28th of September, making it easier to follow.

If I notice that I'm running out of time, to get a good place to stand, could I throw a grenade that doesn't hurt anyone?
even if it damages part of the map, or even without catching the create?
In case of cow (not grabbing a create) the match is automatically lost?
Thank you!

You can throw as many nades around from Jetpack as longest the other player is not hurt or plopped in the process. But you have to get crate if you want to attack other player.

We only need 2 more people, and we can begin :)

Groups are paired now. Good luck & Have fun everyone!

Group deadline is 14 days, 14th's of September. 12AM GMT.

It is the 31st of August and I know that we should had started tomorrow, but we wouldn't had made it to 20 players. It's a miracle we got this many.

If you need help with hosting, then you can ask me on snooper or discord. Although it would be nice if you could do it.

Scheme is full bullshit. Whoever goes first has the advantage. It makes no sense, banal fights, who will put a grenade on the enemy’s head more evenly.

I would like to ask the author of the scheme, what exactly did he smoke before creating it? And how much did he smoke?

At a minimum, to make the scheme more complicated, maps need to be made more complex in relief

imo

What matters for Kradie is quantity, not quality. Most of his schemes I believe he tests a few matches online and already publish them on TUS with those first test games as replays. He has some good ideas like Kill to Steal that is my favorite of all his schemes, but even so his ideas I always see as prototypes with potential to something much better if he dedicated more time. The maximum he does is update the scheme like adding one or two settings just to post that he updated the scheme as an excuse to post a comment on the scheme to promote it, in an attempt to revive it.

99% of his ideas only use WA randomly-generated maps, or maps made with WA map editor, maps of other schemes that are already available or PNG maps made on paint that don't have more than 2 colors. 

His most notable scheme is a simple variation of roper. That I don't really understand why people play it so much and not the original or W2 Roper. I also don't understand why so many people follow him. I never see he doing anything that is not thinking in himself. He is also not a star as a player, he is not the kind of player you can call a pro. He publishes conspiracy theories and fake news every single day, many times per day.

I see him as a miner bot of newbies, because he doesn't have something important to do, so, he spend his time trying to bring newbies to his community that is limited to TWO weapons only. And that's the only explanation that makes sense to me to understand why people support him.

I agree that this scheme has flaws, but I am ready to admit that in general it is not a bad idea that can be developed in different directions and it has potential. For example, there aren't many schemes that require a double plop to kill a worm - you could try to develop something around that, and I also liked the tactic of closing the distance with a special plop, but I haven't figured out how to do it more thoughtfully yet.. .

I don't think Kradie smokes, maybe cigarette (no other forms of tobacco consumption like cigar, pipe or using corn straw) only (not crack, opium, crystal meth, Salvia divinorum or weed). I think that if he had smoked, he would come up with something better than this.

Indeed, this scheme is not perfect but it could develop to something better as you said. This is a reason why I made a cup of scheme this on TUS, to provide something different for you the people to experience. Your experience and feedback are essential to assess a conclusion of this particular scheme and its potential variation that could be made from it. This is something that is greatly appreciated and won't go unnoticed.

For now, try and have fun for what it is. After all it's just a game to compete and above all have fun. :)

could you add medals for the cup? I think it would be good if the first places get a medal even if they are simple in design
Thank you

There's only 5 days left, so I call upon players Lancelot and oldsock to promtly play their match agains each other so that I can battle the winner.
Title: Re: Cup #1169, Jetpack & Nade
Post by: Kradie on September 24, 2022, 03:02 PM
I have chosen to follow through on this cup strict deadline, and therefore Karolomen is pushed forward.

Karolomen vs OldSock.

Kevin vs Mr-gusa.

Please reach out to one another and play the games thank you.

 @Lancelot. I am sorry that you got left behind. I am sure there are valid reasons for your absence that I can sympathize with. Thank you for participating in the cup, I appreciate it.  :)

Oldsock and I played our semi-finals match and it turned out that he's the one which will play in the bronze match. The results have been reported.
For some reason I did not get oldsock's message on TUS, it's not in my inbox, I don't know what's up with that.

Kevin, please reach out to me on Discord cha_ers#3104. I'll also make sure to check TUS regularly for any messages. I'm available from 4 PM (same time zone as you, provided you live in Germany).

Great work Karolomen and Sock.

At this time of post, for best communication is TUS PM, not TUS Direct Message. DM can disappear against the user's will and awareness.

Since the cup has gone very smoothly, It would be nice to get it all done today preferably. However because it is final and bronze match, it is alright if it takes slightly longer, it could help to alleviate stress.

Good luck fellas! I believe in YOU. 8)

sock has abandoned the bronze match and left Mr-gusa as the winner without a fight.

This concludes the Jetpack & Nade (JAN) Cup.

Congratulations to Kevin04 for winning the JAN Cup.

And congratulations to Karolomen too.

I am sorry Mr-gusa that it ended the way it did, I know you were super excited, but your effort won't go unnoticed. Thank you.

I would like to thank everyone for partaking in this cup, it means a lot to me.

I know that I can be a bit strict, and with this it add stress. However this is a trait that I may continue to apply in order to finish future cup as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

JAN scheme was not perfect, I realized this during the cup, but that was also the point of the cup, to analyze its strengths and weaknesses.

Thank you again, and I hope to see you next time!
