Came up with this idea a while back based on the Cops n Robbers fruit machine here in UK, asked rUNaW4y to make the map, and honestly what a map he's made!
Hope you all enjoy!
Special thanks to rUNaW4y for designing the map and images for the Cup, including the medals!

I already wrote a bit about it on Runaway article (https://worms2d.info/Runaway#Cops_n_Robbers_Big_RR), since it is a very similar scheme and has the same name as the author of the map, but I will write a full article about it, especially after the cup results.
I didn't write the full article because I'm without my WiFi connection working now, so I'm using the 4.5G of my smartphone. When I fix this, I might be able to play again. I'm considering to join this cup as it's a new cool map and a different scheme, although it's almost the same as BRR, but the Robber has advantage in the beginning, I think it's harder for the cop to reach the robber and zook it.
By the way, I think unlimited health is harder to visualize if the zook hit or not, I would put zero % of fall damage and a very small amount of health (maybe 1HP). It would be nicer, I think.
EDIT: Oh wait, now I got it, it has unlimited health because the game doesn't end if the Robber is damaged. The zook can be used all the time to push the robber back, right?

Never even knew that existed, but such is life, everything is a copy anyway! :D

Ah crap... Actually thought the zook had zero damage, that's a mistake there but let's just leave the damage on and call it a feature lol.
Batty rope is on anyway so you can hang from the ceilings/walls making it more difficult to hit with zook, let's see how people use this I'm curious, might be a good thing!
If people complain enough, I'll just edit the scheme and make the zook zero damage.

Oh, so the intention was to use the 5 seconds of retreat time provided by the zook only, hmmm... That actually gives the cop more advantage, I think, because the map is very long. I forgot about the retreat time.

Yes, that's the main concept/gimmick of this scheme and why the map is designed the way it is.
The map can be completed in 8-10 turns if you're a good roper, with 40 seconds turns. The robber is one whole turn ahead, which means if the Cop ropes good, he can reach the starting point(even a little further) of the Robber on their first turn.
The idea is that, if both players rope equally well and fast without mistakes, it should take about 8 turns for the Cop to reach the Robber if they use the zook efficiently and get those extra 5 seconds(8x5s=40s).
This is why it's Best of 3 as well, so both players get to play both sides, and if both win as Cop or both win as Robber, they will have a 3rd decider where they both start from the Cop position, both being able to fire the bazooka.
It's actually really fun!
So if the Cop starts the round, he should skip?

Whoever has first turn will teleport into the Robber side.
Robber has first turn.
Whould be good to mention it in plain text. Also there is no example replay for the scheme.

I don't feel like it needs an example, the description is efficient enough.
Start with 8 or 12?
Quote from: TheKomodo on April 02, 2025, 10:12 PMStart with 8 or 12?
I would suggest waiting for 12 players joining at least.

I am happy to wait, it could take a while though.
If nobody else joins by Monday, I'll just join myself to make it 8 then we can start.
Since nobody else was joining, I've joined as well so pairs are done, I'll give it 4 weeks for the group stage!
Have fun! :)
When's everyone available?
If you guys aren't interested I can just end the cup lol.
Yeah this is pointless, not even one person has put in any effort to communicate in the first week since the pairs were made.
Very disappointing, cup closed.
That was quick..
?!?
Wanted to write im available in the evenings...
well well well
You could at least wait till the deadline come on
1 week is not quick, that's 7 whole days for ANYONE to make an effort.
Typical that people make an effort AFTER a controversial decision has been made.
Sorry, this isn't for me, I'm done hosting Cups for now, got better things to do with my time.
Feel free to host your own if you're willing to wait around weeks for anything to happen lol.
rofl
It hasn't been mentioned in description that the cup gets closed if nobody checks in with his gaming schedule during the week 1.
Some people like me get a long wanted vacation after 6 months of hard work and decide to spend time with people they love, with family etc. Some people like me stay calm and sure they can play all the cup games on time because the cup lasts longer than their vacation lol
If I knew this would end in 1 week if nobody say a word in comments I wouldn't even join
Runaway worked for this map for several weeks I bet and you closing the cup before end of deadline.
This is beyond anything
Maybe you will all learn a lesson to put more effort in, maybe not.
I honestly don't care, why? Because neither do you.
Complain all you want, it's too late now, should have put the same quickness and effort into the Cup in the first place as you do complaining and we wouldn't be in this position.
Like I said, you're welcome to host the same Cup, with the same map and same settings, however without me, I'm done.
You could have still let the cup open and let Runaway host it since he is CO Host.
So you would still can do nothing.
If you wouldn't care, you would not closed this and just let it happen.
Really nice of you that you dont value the time of runaway. Thumbs up.
Guilt trip attempts will not work on me Billy.
My actions do not take away from Runaways efforts, his actions are his own.
His map design is excellent and everyone knows this. People do and will enjoy the map in the future.
So yet again, your attempts at guilt tripping will not work, I'm not that stupid. I also value my own time.

Good luck!

Don't think anyone's trying to guilt trip you. People just want to talk some common sense into you.
I see Runaway was the guy that made the map, medals and co-hosted this cup with you.
Something tells me he didn't have slightest idea you're gonna close it all of a sudden!? Is that fair towards him?
You're supposed to be TUS cup moderator, not a local sheriff.
I'll trust my own opinion on the matter, thanks.
Lol, it looks like all hell broke loose here XD.
If a cup have a co-host, it is possible to sit back and let him do the job, this is what he is here for.
