MonkeyIsland

All seems good to me. (except rubber worm)
Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

Maybe reduce the worms hp to 150 also ? Not sure but it could make the game even quicker.
edit: nah would not do any good.

can someone explain me whats the big advantage in 10 min games, exept tus addicts like berria are now able to play 2 bngs in a time where they usually play one. i always thought a time between 20 and 50 min is f@#!ing normal for a online game.
i always thought we have fun in playing our fav game and now we try to make it shorter and shorter? isnt it  nice to have just 1 scheme where you can relax a bit? you are already hurried in ttrr, wxw, hysteria, roper, do we really need to add bng to that list?
im a f@#!ing gossip girl, i like to talk during games, it sucks when you cant cos you have  less time.

I think we need a bit of hotseat time after all. Sometimes you need to wait about 2 seconds to see how the wind changes, which greatly reduces the usability of a bazooka. We played another game with 7 second turn time and 5 second hotseat time. This should be alright for most wormers (5 seconds is way too short in my opinion, makes the game too hysterical and not enjoyable)

I'll be a big supporter of the rubberworm features, they make the game more challenging (no more easy 4 seconders). I don't see what's the problem when both players have rubberworm.

Also the map division is indeed a BIG help! Just create a brush 8 sized hole in the middle of map, all the closeness problems go away.

Your suggestion involving reduced time and no hotseat time fix nothing, just brings communication problems in clanners and unability to scratch your balls whenever you want. Personally i dont see how this would eliminate notching other than when not paying attention or that you got to be faster, using scroll lock like a jerk on opponent's turn.

u are wierd, u dont like bng, u dont pick bng, bngis boring for u, and now when all ppl who know bng wants to make it more enjoyable, faster etc, u still are for no.

So in ur mind 50 min bng is much funnies then 10 min bng? okay we know ur idea.

TTRR can take 5 min and no one is saying then its to lees.... ( we could play even 5 worms each)

but it not about time generaly. that game with barman was more cool then all my games of bng in this seazon.

just read the post of coste, this man is the truth. the only way to stop notching would be rubber features. and this would suck because it f@#!s up with the original gameplay of wa.

In for 5 sec no hotseat.

It's not about shortening the game time, nor eliminating notching, but making it a bit harder and bringing closer the chances of a notcher and a non-notcher.

A bit harder? I thought its alerady hard to beat top bng players.

I can reliably notch most shots in about 3 seconds. Just saying. Reducing turn time to get rid of notching really won't help unless you make it 1 second, but then it would be Hysteria with less weapons and no moving about. :)

This. Not 100% of the time, but quite reliable.

Ok, dark, coste. But do you agree that for us, not-cyborgs, these changes can make the competition more fair?
