Rules, glitches and tricks allowed:
-multiple fire. ¿?
Maybe you mean multiple fire-punch hits on one worm. Effect caused when the target worm is blocked.

Is worm manual placement allowed in this cup? (Y U NO To reduce spawn luck like in Pros scheme.)

Blah. Whatever. What I'm saying it's not out of hand for all of retro gamers out here. Sure, 8 worms will cause notable downtime in the beginning of the game, but it does reduce of spawn luck. (Don't forget.) It may appear to sounds foolish, but that's largely due to almost every ppl playing this scheme without ever changing setting for worm placement for this scheme as it is done so much in practice.

Either way, I don't mind much without manual worm placement if you guys find manual worm placement to be a bad idea.
Title: Re: Cup #289: Intermediate for all
Post by: Dario on October 29, 2011, 09:24 PM
Well, the thing about random placement is that, even though it can give a player a consistant advantage through a whole bo5 game in some cases; intermediate without random placement loses like 80% of the skills and early-game tactics you can use in it. And that variety of skills and tactics used during early stages of the game are, imho, something that makes intermediate very different.

Post by: DumbBongChow on October 29, 2011, 11:36 PM
I know exactly what you mean Dario, and you made excellent points. (I wish more ppl speak like Dario in this website no offense. -_-;) It also takes skills to improvise and plan properly based on what spawn spot ppl get in the game am I right?  :)

BTW, I never said I demand Manual Worm Placement for this cup. (It was just a suggestion...)

Post by: DumbBongChow on November 07, 2011, 09:00 PM
I think you should start a cup with 24 people. Number of ppl were around this for the past number of days. At this point, it's going to be hard to bring few more ppl into this cup. More ppl may leave this cup if you are just waiting for that near impossible goal of 32 ppl.

so your game against Gadzet doesn't count?

I'm gonna close this cup if no more games are played before the deadline btw. There are several cups waiting already.

I go on wormnet nerly everyday, and i cant find K4TSIS even the seen feature is not finding him anymore  :-X

If we do not play by the deadline i think its fair to just give dario a free win, due to the fact i will have proceeded to the final round of knockouts without playing a single game in this cup...
Title: Re: Cup #289: Intermediate for all
Post by: DarkOne on February 24, 2012, 06:28 PM
That's not your fault, is it?
I've kicked out katsis, cause he obviously isn't going to come back here.

Set a next deadline for the semis.

Erpf, yea, 23 gmt till 02 am gmt is a moment I am usually online. In fact I've been online around those times with snooper in AG for many of the last days. Do you pizza leave a snooper or something? else it gets quite difficult to locate you if you leave AG everytime you join a game.

Title: Re: Cup #289: Intermediate for all
Post by: Kayz on March 11, 2012, 02:56 PM
What makes you think we don't have other boards to set a game date than TUS? We have our own site.
I didn't catch Koras yet, and he might not caught me, and yet I hope to find a time to play with him, I know that the deadline is over, but I still try, if you want to close the cup this evening, do it. Just because we don't write in the cup comments, doesn't mean we don't try to contact each other at all. (Since I am not often logged in tus anyway)

i am here but I cant play today, i didnt play a single ONL/Funner game since 2 weeks cause I have repair in my home.. a loots of mess >:(
anyway it will be finish in next few days..
Dark U could be as strick as now a little bit earlier, maybe more games would be played.

Post by: DarkOne on March 11, 2012, 06:12 PM
That's fine, Kayz, but I have to act on the information that I do have ;)
Thanks for the heads up :)

Koras: as I said before (perhaps not here, but then definitely in other cups), if at least I know the game is actively arranged, I don't mind if an agreed time is after the deadline, as long as there is an agreed time.

So how about your games, Kayz and Koras? You're almost in the same timezone, while pizzasheet and Darío surely should have had a much harder time to find each other.

Post by: Kayz on March 22, 2012, 01:23 PM
Sorry for not being online the last days, I was at my parent's home and since someone drove my left mirror of my car off, I had to stay there until it was fixed, and playing on laptop a serious game is not my thing.

Koras and me play today at 19 GMT!

Post by: Dario on March 22, 2012, 09:02 PM
So, the unfinished game between pizza and I is considered as a win for me? :s I've been waiting for a chance to find him again all this time.
Title: Re: Cup #289: Intermediate for all
Post by: DarkOne on March 24, 2012, 10:33 AM
Waiting or arranging? :o

There are 5 cups waiting to get started (and I even started one cup prematurely, so it should've been 6), so I would really appreciate it if you could arrange it and finish the cup quickly.
Title: Re: Cup #289: Intermediate for all
Post by: Kangaroo on March 26, 2012, 08:00 AM
Yes free, win, the way u played against me was too good no point playing a final. Plus im not as active as a have been in the past so the chances of running into me in AG considering my timezone are very slim.

Good Luck Dairo and Koras

that's quite unfair for Dario tho, he tried to get the games done with Koras. I'm curious because I'm in a same kind of situation in this cup (https://www.tus-wa.com/cups/cup-331/). if I can't find my opponent to play the final, I walk away with nothing... that's not cool...

28th April saturday 11 am GMT good?

And you've played all your games in the cup within a couple of weeks.
The first game in this cup was in November (or earlier, can't be arsed to check).
That's half a year for the same amount of games that took you less than one month in the aerial cup.
I know it's not just Dario, this whole cup has been incredibly slow from the start. That doesn't mean I should reward people ignoring the deadline, (which was way too common in this cup)

Title: Re: Cup #289: Intermediate for all
Post by: Husk on April 24, 2012, 10:08 PM
I'm talking about the cup I'm in, but this cup just happens to share quite the same outcome for the finale. so maybe I'm talking generally about such a final where 1 player tries to get the games done and the other player isn't. the player who is trying to get the games done, can't get them done because of his opponent doesn't show real effort to play them. so even after trying to get the games done, he gets robbed in the sense that his medal is stolen. no1 else cares!?

- I win against Iron and I get gold
- I lose against Iron and I get silver
- Iron fails to play his final match and I get nothing   <--------- SOMETHING WRONG HERE!?!?!?!??!?!?

so I serve a penalty because my opponent doesn't want to play <---- Is this how it should be?
again I'm talking about this kind of situations generally, not only the cup I'm in!

Title: Re: Cup #289: Intermediate for all
Post by: DarkOne on April 25, 2012, 12:03 AM
The difference is that the aerial cup is a very quick cup and people have done their best to play their games before the deadline.

Not so much in this cup. This cup took half a year to get as far as it got. As you can see in the cup, I've let people go to next rounds with freebies (despite gross violations of the deadlines put into place) and I've had to continously remind people to play their games.

I've told the participants at the start of the finals:
If I don't see anything happening and the games aren't played before the deadline, I'm closing the cup without handing out medals.
I've sent people several reminders for the finals but all I saw here was one post where no time was even suggested (Just a whole day, because you know, everybody stays on WN for 24 hours in a row and is available all that time :) Just like in real life!)

The bottom line is: they didn't really seem to care for this cup anyway (and if they did, they sure had a poor way of showing it).
What would make you say I would just close the aerial cup if it were up to me, anyway? (what even makes you think I need to do anything about the aerial cup? :) HHC seems to have everything well under control there).
I make decisions based on the cups individually and take as many factors into account (which includes the goings-on of previous rounds). You're only looking at one round - I'm looking at the entire cup. This was not an active cup and they didn't do a lot with my warnings.

To be honest, I don't think people will take deadlines very seriously if there's no consequence to not making the deadline without notice.
