Maybe you'll make it back to stream the finals. 8)
Is it a nice rehab? With fizzy drinks and nice food provided?
I actually have my laptop here so can play anyway.
Just will sucks cuz it's not my usual setup...
Blitzed, it's the best, saved my life.

no i just like giving MI money
Imma donate to MI anyway.
If anyone deserves it its him for putting up with all my drama lol.
This cup may start in 10 and with 20 players give or take.
If you think you are not good roper but you still enjoy rope to some degree, then you should join but not to win, but to Improve and have fun. :)
Sign me up, i may just be good fodder, but if i have to be cannon fodder I will do it for worms!
Come on people join up! 3 more to go!
Please don't laugh too hard when I play so bad from a hospital bed :D
You can make fun of me though, if it's funny lol.
LOL.
Here's one for Kradie...
Now you could possibly say anyone who ropes with parachute needs crutches because I'm playing from hospital unable to walk on my own. :D
(I haven't broke my legs, it's emotional trauma - mental health).
Everyone, just for your information that a couple of months back the BIG ZaR RR scheme was updated. This update allows for the worm to fire bazooka in midair. So make sure you download the new updated version of the scheme and familiarize yourself with this new setting.
We will start next week give or take.
That's all for now.

Good luck with your program and I wish you a speedy recovery. The sooner you can walk without crotches and even baby diapers the better. 8)

I would like to thank you all for joining the cup so far it means tremendously.
Please whoever you are reading this, please consider joining the cup!
We'll try to reach 24-25!
i will be on holiday until the 4th July, when the brackets get made I will contact and play my games after then. Looking forward to it.
Kradie, I beg to hold on until 32 players!
If this is met, I'll add to the prize pool, of course, it's YOUR Cup, YOUR choice...
But I've dreamt of a 32 player roping Cup for years, and it gives me time to get out as I should be out of here during next week.

32 players would be a dram come true, but we're already struggling to get 24-25 players. Tell you what, if we can get over 25 players this week then I may postpone the cup more. We're already very lucky to get 24 people so far.
We need 7 more people to join to make it to 32 players. If someone joins during this week I will delay the cup until we reach 32. If that doesn't happen I will start the cup on Friday the 5th.
Who will be number 32? 8) That is the question :-\
I told you there would be 32 players.
I was just waiting. This is just a funner for me and mostly to stream it.
now go for 64
It is possible, but not yet.
Though I'd guess by the end of this year.
Please start this stuff before people start leaving.

At least you sound more like yourself than few weeks ago. I hope hospital is helping, get well man.
Group 8 :O
The cup has started!
Deadline for group only with no extension is 25th of July 20.00 GMT, that's on a Thursday.

As mentioned before: make sure you download and use the latest Big ZaR RR scheme. It can be downloaded from cup page.
Good luck people, have fun, and thank you for joining!
4 days has passed and 16 days remains.
Come on people! Pick up the slack!
Yes I should play too :D I am always thinking about it.. @my group: Just find me in AG and we can work out time and date there.

Sssssssh! Nobody is supposed to know that! :D
Edit - In all seriousness though, I've been in hospital for 3 weeks I'm absolutely shattered and on a lot of medication right now, so will be treating it as a funner because I'll just get angry if I try to play tryhard and fail a lot lol.
Hello friends.
Group 7, what's the latest status? Have you been in touch? Try to reach out and plan your games.
For the rest, please remember to play your games.
(Some has been contacted directly).
The whip is getting stronger now, even on myself. :-\
Group 5
Guys, pls find me online on Snoop/discord/TUS and let me know when we could play. I'm online daily and easy to find

I tried to arrange my games but without success.
I just want a few days practise as I'm just out of a long hospital stay and rusty.
I'll get my games done in the last week or you can replace me or I can give free wins.

Understood. I sent Saint a pam and directed XanKriegor to this page.
Now I have taken the liberty to help people in group 7 to be more aware about their peers preferred method of communication and availability.
Saint prefers to use snooper, and is available today for 10 hours. Otherwise his online presence in AG is random and spontaneous.
XanKriegor has mentioned his hours only on Global Wormin'
''[12:38 PM]XanKriegor: I'm available monday-thursday 11AM-3PM GMT''
Runaway has been sent a PM about this as well.
Thank you for being a good moderator Kradie, you do a great job hosting these, and I am a firm believer in discipline.

Thank you for supporting and participating!
I'd hardly call it participating, I've been practising a bit but it's horrible lol.
I am too used to relying on chute for specific moves on purpose, it's like watching and playing Formula 1 with a car that can only go 20mph lol.
I have the odd great turn but my muscle memory will adapt soon.
I still think that the Bazooka should be power 15 with double damage and players should be allowed to boom race with Zook at the last second. It would be much better. Maybe with less turn time to avoid big advantage of those who don't fall and boom race well on important parts. It would be more unbalanced of course, but the gameplay would change and it would be funny. Or maybe make it LDET or Rubber Bounciness with SDET and a rule of a limited number of bazookas per turn. For example: you can use 5 bazookas in a turn.
Wally and Kinslayer im on now and i will be on until tomorrow. Hook me up in AG for games :)
Not around this weekend, any availability this next week?! :-*
Im away next week,but i might be back to the weekend. Otherwise lets try around that time. Same goes for Kins

Now, there's nothing wrong with that idea... But that scheme is the roping version of Battlerace, which isn't a bad idea actually, making a Battle RR scheme in relation to Battlerace.
Though, I prefer pure racing schemes where you have the safety to go as fast as humanly possible while still making mistakes and being able to rectify them immediately through improvization.
I like ZaR, but it's not quite my cup of tea if I am honest, I am too old and rusty at being consistent due to having so many other things in life I do every day.
Great idea though, we could make a Battle Big RR together if you want Fox?
I was actually thinking on a Big Rope Race mixed with Boom Race. I didn't think about attacking others with the Zook. I was thinking to add phased worms (I didn't mention this because usually it is a must for races - racing stuff/boomracingstuff).
For example, the scheme could have more weapons than just Zook and Rope. It could have zero seconds grenades too, Super Banana, Sheep, etc.
The scheme could be also something like Driver mixed with TTRR, it is played only on TTRR maps and players can only use rope to move and attack the other worm from rope with the Driver scheme weapons.
I am always happy to create schemes with other people as a project. I already created schemes with many people, why not with Komo?
By the way, I'm planning to organize a Scheme Contest when 3.9 be released (if many new scheme features be added, otherwise, I don't know if I will do this).
10 days and 18 hours remain. Pick up the pace :-\
Good games runaway, sorry I wasn't a good opponent, as I said it's a completely different muscle memory that I haven't quite mastered yet, you saw me get too greedy with specific moves lol.
Like you and Walrus said, this scheme requires p***y roping to be super safe. It's like watching Formula 1 if they had no seatbelts and their brakes were only half as effective. Still fun though!
It's nice that we have 3 solid Big RR schemes now though.
Big ZaR RR
TUS Big RR
Big Rubber RR
So you have virtually no safety, average safety, then almost complete safety.
I enjoy this scheme though need more practise to be able to adapt between the 3 main RR schemes now.
I am unable to reach Kinslayer via DM. It just gives me an error.
Is there anyone who wants to take Bode, KinslayeR, and Irtis's place?
Dear lurker, if you know someone who can rope, please ask your friends if they want to join this cup.
6 days remains people! *Whips*
Knockout has begun!
Respect the deadline!
Good luck everyone!
Edit: The closer we get to deadline, I will start to process people who haven't played. I also may extend the KO stage, but that's not guaranteed, it is purely judgment call, and based on individual effort.
4 days reserved for the finalists.
@Aladdin let me know what times you are available! I'll probably play in GMT evening or late evening into early morning.
I will be available this weekend, I will be at AG.

Is that ok for you or too late?

Actually, just give Aladdin a free win, this scheme annoys me too much.
Quote from: TheKomodo on July 27, 2024, 10:32 PMActually, just give Aladdin a free win, this scheme annoys me too much.
What? What happened? You come this far, you done so good, and you spoke fondly about the scheme. Don't let a hiccup ruin the momentum now. Everyone are on the same track as you but if you really want out.. Then that would suck big time. :'( I will grant Aladdin free win but I will give it a couple of days. I suggest that you ride it out..
I do wonder what you would have said if someone else said what you said but it was for a different scheme.. ???
:'(
It's not just the game, it's everything going on in my life at the moment, I have zero motivation for playing this seriously right now...
My parents got covid again, I'm looking for a job, I've got home DIY to do, windows to clean, and a lot of other personal things.
There's just no realistic way for me to play seriously in a way I'd be happy with, it's just bad timing for me.

I am sorry to hear about your parents. It's good that you are prioritizing real life I can understand. I'm happy that you played some of the cup thank you. Best wishes to your parents! Get well soon.
Plus I am on medication that quite honestly makes me feel slow.
I do apologize for giving up, and it's frustrating because Rocket knocked Masta out the Cup so it's a chance for many players to win now.
Very good job Rocket by the way! Well done!
I hope you host another one of these in the future, it's not the scheme I have issue with, it's myself and my capacity to play right now. So apologies for blaming the scheme.
was an intense series with Masta. grateful for the games!

Mad skills bro. I'm proud of yo well played!
@TheKomodo I may try find a shadow proxy. A person who will just provide a complimentary challenge to Aladdin before advancing him. I may just play him myself hehe. But these games won't be uploaded though.
flashR and Big Billy, what's your status? Have you contacted each other yet to find time and date to play your games?
What about you Sensei and rUNaW4y? Any news?

Runaway contacted me, but I've been moving around a lot lately. Barely played any WA last few weeks. Will try to catch him in next 3 days, since I'm gonna be unavailable 5-6 days after this period
Good games skunk, thanks for playing and hope I gave you a good battle. Good luck with the rest of your games and hope you do well. Hopefully the final can be streamed or something. :D

Sensei, if you are to win against Runaway, would you be able to complete the cup?
The KO stage (Not final) had 16 days and we are down to 11 days left.
If you beat Runaway, you will have 2 more brackets to complete in a couple of days.
The current deadline is only for the first 3 brackets NOT the final. The finalist have 4 days to complete their game.
Does any of this make sense to you?
Hi Rocket! When can you play?
Quote from: Aladdin on July 31, 2024, 12:48 AMHi Rocket! When can you play?
hi! every day at 17:00 GMT. what's the best day?
Hey. Asked Blitz is he able to play 2 days ago, but he couldn't. And then last night realised I destroyed my display port cable, by moving the case around. Tomorrow I'll be back on that pc and will try to find blitz for our game. Walrus, please let us know when can you play with possible winner. Since there's only 2 days left.
Didn't turn on pc for weeks, so i am sorry cause didn't reach out earlier. Although, no one reached out to me as well. So I guess we're all inactive.
It's up to you guys I can't babysit every step because I have already tried, and addition to that I have given 20 extra days.
All I know now is that soon I may have to make tough decisions and it will leave some or some people very angry.
The finals starts in 2 days, so it is best for you Sensei, Walrus, and Blitzed to plan things, even on prognosis, and hypotheticals.
Indeed, those who cannot play should just forfeit, I forfeit from this Cup, yet it still says I have a pending game with Aladdin...
lol what a clown cup, you've wasted my time again kradie, but I should have known better. 3 weeks waiting for an opponent and I get 24 hours to arrange my game or autolose? I won't even bother to ask why it makes sense, I won't be playing any further games because this cup is trash ;D
Next time put a disclaimer for potential players for your cup - "Moderator reserves the right to be a f@#!ing idiot at any time" so people know
What should have happened is Walrus should have been advanced for making most effort to play his games with his opponents.
That's how I do it anyway, whoever makes the most visible effort.

Would you like to play against blitz tomorrow? I think you said something like this.
PS: I take no pleasure in this. I take full responsibility because I was the one who chose to wait for one player.
hey. nice cup.
Quote from: Kradie on August 20, 2024, 03:35 PMPS: I take no pleasure in this. I take full responsibility because I was the one who chose to wait for one player.
If you're talking about me, your cup was the only reason I turned on PC after few weeks of being away. Only guy that contacted me and asked me if I'm around was Oliver, but he wasn't even paired to play against me in any stage of knockout phase.
As said already, I feel bad for not being available, but it's summer and people are all over the place. Not giving few more days of deadline for Walrus to play vs Blitzed wasn't good moderating. Also, having way too strict deadlines is not the way as well, imo. In your last Aerial cup I needed to step away after not losing a round in 3-4 games, just because I couldn't make it to my next game.
Deadlines need to be respected, I agree. But it wouldn't kill you to comment here once per week and move deadlines accordingly. For example - last night you should have given Walrus and Dibz few more days to play their match, and no one would get mad.
Sensei, I gave you 20 days extra something I would normally never do. I only did it because I thought I could remedy past wounds. Apparently it just made it worse and now Walrus is also in the mix of it again. I would like to emphasis that YOU Sensei didn't do anything wrong Sensei and neither did Walrus. None of us could expect that you Sensei would have additional problems near deadline too.
I handled the end of the second deadline poorly but mainly out of principle. Deadline is deadline, and that's that. But after seeing Walrus's anger and roast of me I thought I could give him a chance to play against Blitzed. Though something tell me he will not.
I am a firm believer of deadline. As cold as it sound, if people can't follow it by whatever reason, they should bow out. But since we are in this predicament, and where I allowed for one extension, I will have to give it again. But this cup has taught me that I will not grant anyone extension in future cups. Yes it is cold, it doesn't sell well, and people would probably get angry. But remember, real life comes first. If you can't play something for whatever reasons please say so without salt in the mouth. (This is general not targeted to anyone). This is not a personal thing just principle...
