who is him?
Oh dear!
Meth theChipmunk?
danceman is a well known oldschool Roper, I can't remember how good he was at TTRR so I can't comment on that, but I do know he was a VERY good Roper.
I dunno if someone is impersonating him, but I trust walrus, and if walrus believes it's him I believe that...

he is not fake, i even found oldschool video of him.
@Kinslayer, keep the language clean.
Gets to show how good old NBR member used to be, even after such long time. Makes me kinda lol compared to what we have now.

This is just 1 person, most of the comeback players i've seen have lost a lot of skill like a normal human being :D
Nah, most human beings keep a relatively high skill once they mastered something. It's muscle memory after all. There are hundreds of athletes that can still play reasonable good in sports even after 10 years of retirement. In fact, that some people lose a lot of their skill has probably a lot to do with changed equipment. You muscle memory roping with your favorite keyboard. I would be curious to know if old school players that came back to roping changed their kb or could keep their old from their prime.
I heard saltyk9 sucks now, did he change kb?
salty doesn't suck, but he isn't close to being as good as he was.
I actually disagree, you talk about "after 10 years of retirement" but from what I know, most professional atheletes still take parts in whatever sport it is they do, at some level.
This, on the other hand, is people who played a game and literally haven't touched it for over 10 years, they come back, they completely suck for a few days, and gradually start getting their skill back over the course of some months, most of them won't ever be as good as they once were.
This on the other hand is a childhood game completely forgotten about for years and years, it's quite a difference lol.
From what I know, Danceman has only been back for like 1 month.
If this really is him I am very impressed how much skill he's managed to maintain beating dibz like this, dibz isn't some shit player, he's one of the best Ropers of all time, i've never heard of ANYONE maintaining this level of skill after such a long period of time, very impressive :)
Oh saltyk9 doesn't suck? Good to know! See, even more evidence old NBR is superior even after such a long time of breaks. Quality of rusty NBR > quality of today ropers.

you can't compare oldschool wormers with newcomers.
oldschool wormers played serious for leagues, today it is almost just about fun.

You have got to be kidding mate.
I would be very surprised if this guy isn't an alias.
Dibz is a top RR'er by anyone's standards at any period of time.
The standard of RR is WAY higher now than back in the old school NBR days (no disrespect to NBR), I can definitely vouch for that.
Even 10 years ago, 46'ing the above map would be unheard of in a serious game.
Not convinced.
So who would alias? Mablak? The roping in that replay is very high quality so you can eliminate many potential alias from the get go, simply because we don't even have such ropers anymore that rope like that. It has to be an oldie but goldie. :D
Alien, NBR didn't really care that much about leagues. It was all just pure entertaining roping without much focus on winning the league games. We used to f@#! around in league games just as much as in fun games. ToP was the serious mode with many NBR members that wanted to do that in WWP. But NBR was not a highly competitive clan. It was about showing off and roping for the love of it. Also I am comparing them to current gen ropers. The current gen ropers stand no ground vs old NBR it seems. :P
Im personally very glad NBR gets his former glory back, in the past years it was more like a hollow of an once great clan, makes me nostalgic seeing my former mates kicking ass again. :)
I can't tell whether you are actually being serious or not.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt though, it could be the following (or more)
Masta
Sir-J
Sbaffo
This is not an accusation to those listed and it wouldn't bother me if it was one of them, I am just re-iterating the high chance of this being an alias.

i am curious about danceman's and walrus's statement now.
Oh so, walrus, saltyk9, iew etc. all put danceman respect and honor to shit and let some random guy join under his name? I'd be highly disappointed by walrus if he let some random guy join under Danceman's name. I am sure dt would never let another player that has ZERO connection with deano/avirex play under his name, and walrus is a man of honor and respect. Sure avirex could play under deano's name and deano would not mind. But if Chelsea joined under deano's name I am sure deano would feel offended and avirex would NEVER allow that.
Please try to see this from all perspectives, danceman was a good friend of all of NBR and I know wally, salty etc. wouldn't let some random dude impersonate him. I am merely pointing out that those guys did not just were in the same clan because they roped good, NBR was a family.
If it's not danceman itself it's a an oldie NBR but that makes not much sense since 99,9% of WN wouldn't even know oldie NBR players to begin with so by using your old name you kind of are aliasing already lol.

To be fair, it is possible for someone to alias someone else if they know their character well enough, and enough time has passed from being a teenager to adult people change personalities so it's hard to judge someone if they are a bit different after such a timeframe.

Tbh, they were mainly in NBR cuz they roped good :D
But of course NBR consisted of people who played many games together and had grown a strong bond :)
Yeah, but sbaffo, Sir-J etc. are too bad at English to make a good American alias lol. That's why I said who would be capable of doing that? Mablak and then it's getting dark already...
The criteria to fool Walrus are high. You need perfect fluent English. (wally notices when you speak bad and favors eloquent conversations) Know at least some NBR history, feuds and side projects, old Messenger accounts (I still know my AIM screenname for example, 10 years old) etc.
Maybe Sock?
Has to be Chelsea, matches all the criteria
Quote from: Chelsea on January 09, 2016, 05:38 PM

Hmmm, one of the only possibilities I imagine if it were an alias.
lol. its obviously an alias, wonder who is it tho :)
Whoever it is, alias or not, I bet they have both hands down their pants reading this 8)
Nah I watched it over a couple of times by now. It only matches a bit with Sir-J roping, but danceman's has less flight time when climbing/roping. And, again, there's no way Sir-J can willingly fool walrus/salty etc. to make him believe he's Danceman.
Well, if it is really Danceman, fair play, but if it's an alias, their account should be deleted and dibz points returned, it's pretty unfair to be in the top 3 of standings for a scheme and have an alias steal your points.
ok anubis you can tell them its you now, the jig is up :D
It's not 1. April yet wally. :'(
imo it's

I don't understand what you're saying.
It is perfectly reasonable for me to strongly believe that someone is aliasing to use "danceman".
If it really is danceman, I'd like some of what he is smoking...
Maybe old replay of danceman doing ttrr could be helpful to solve this mystery? :)
These kinda skills requires hundreds and hundreds of games on that scheme.
Shouldn't be THAT hard to find 1 replay.

I'm not, tus needs more drama, anu brought up good point to me, wlcl was so great because drama threads. TUS needs more of this.
Thread is quite fun and entertaining.
So where is danceman then?
Could it be me aliasing?
Danceman, Coolman, any1?
xDDD
Sock used to alias ppl in the past, and not that long ago.
Imo its sock or somehow old danceman but rather first.

The alias police.. ;d
After this thread, Danceman definitely a shoe in for the comeback player of the year award. Told him about this thread, he didn't seem to care at all but I encouraged him to come on here and address the witch hunt head on, I linked him to this page so he should turn up sooner or later. Then we can interrogate him and find out all he knows.
Prepare your questions people, we gonna figure out if this is alias or not!
Interest in this has died down it seems :o
Well, first - hello guys. This is my first post on tus i think although I've been lurking around for years. Wally told me to come here and post, so here I am. Regarding my batman-like secret identity: Yes, I am danceman, I played in a clan called AC on worms armageddon and a clan called ToP on WWP, if any of you remember these. And yes, I have aliased as many players over the years, so I am guilty of that. I havent played as my original WA username 'danceman' in years, I've preferred to use other names. Since Wally and Salty came back and re-formed NBR, I thought it would be a good time to bring my oldschool name out of retirement. I'm sorry about any confusion this may have caused people on this site, as it appears you have gotten a bit worked up about this.
