You will need a decent computer to run WA, preferably from this decade (2010-Now).
It is advised not to use a mouse with a ball under it. Upgrade from dial up modem if possible.
Majority of people communicate in English so it is good if you can try, even if your English is ''bad''.
When you are connected through the main server Team17, you will see a list of channels, everyone are in the #AnythingGoes Channel. You use your mouse to double click it with your preferable finger. Of course this is something that you probably have figured out on your own by now. This is by default, to use a finger on a mouse, obviously, you could use other body parts or surfaces of your body to proceed with a mouse, or with other specialized peripherals.
Now you are hopefully in the main server and channel AnythingGoes. Here you will be able to see Players, Messages, & Host Rooms. (For those who don't know what ''&'' is, it is symbol for ''AND''). Navigate mouse to the long message box and greet everyone with respect. You will need a keyboard for this, or other preferable peripheral for this type of communication, e.g voice to text. After telling everyone about who and what you are, wait for reply, it is rude to leave, because you never know if there is somebody typing desperately back to your message, and only to see that you left. So after getting to know your new best friend, talk about what you want to play. He/she/it will likely suggest to host a something.
How do you host? Type ''!Host Normal'', a bot will host a normal game for you. But now you must be wondering where is my game? Well to the left on the screen, above the ''Messages'' To join your host, use mouse or whatever of your desires to enter it. Now you are inside of your host, where you can wait for other players to join. They will add their teams, and hopefully you remembered to have added your team too. Click big light bulb and then type ''!start''
You don't always have to play normal, you can have a bot host you many things e.g Full Wormage. You can also join other people's host too. Yellow colored host text are password protected, pay attention to the key lock before the host tittle and flag. Also, very Important, pay attention to game room name, because some schemes (Game modes), requires special rules to play. So if you do decide to venture into one of these rooms, be nice, honest and ask for rules. DO NOT click on light bulb 1000 times, and insert many teams. This can make the host operator very angry, and never ever quit a game, because if you do, everyone will remember, everyone will talk about it, and you will have to change name until you become less incompetent.
Well that's it for now. Now go get them! :)

Man, that was hilarious!
But honestly, amazing! Absolutely nothing wrong with going into full detail even basic information like this, kind of wish sometimes there were more things explained like this :)
obviously, you could use other body parts or surfaces of your body to proceed with a mouse

Only if it wasn't complete bullshit, like the dial-up part - I imagine the fact the game can be played just fine with a bad internet connection was a deciding point for many.

The fact that it is bullshit, makes it funny. It was not meant to be taken serious, but unfortunately some already have.
Although, you never know if someone TRULY needs a thorough explanation of anything to fully comprehend something.

Not really, some people do actually still use dialup.

Pretty sure pRogi told me he uses dialup.
I was on 28k/56k dialup for the first year or two I played this game.

and all this took is a peaceful post from a newbie.
I'm starting to hate this community, with this kind of attitude I won't be able to motivate myself to do anything

Good idea, let me extend it. Let us imagine that each forum thread is a flower, and that each reply is a another flower seed added. Then all of the sudden a flower containing deadly miasma is added, it releases its poisonous seeds on all of its surrounding flowers, and causes everything around it to wither and die. The joy and innocence is dissolved, while evil is still allowed to spread its dark divinity.
We must protect our garden from evil entities that wishes to harm it with miasma. We must fight for our soil, we must allow us to grow and shine! Not stand idly by and let darkness devour us all!

no, just... no

Miasma?!?
Kradie, pls be honest. This is something we all asked ourselves at least once when seeing your posts. Do you write them while reading dictionary?

What you can offer during full motivated phase?
0. Motivate:
- Deadcode and CyberShadow to code
- MonkeyIsland to make an official Discord server
1. update Quick Start Pack
2. short videos of each scheme in hosting buddy
3. make a bot that:
- automatically replies to any message in #help on WormNET
- warns players that have 3.7.2.2 Steam and tell them to downgrade
- randomly mentions about worms2d.info and tus-wa.com
4. Collab with StepS to translate VitAp's videos to English
5. Make A LOT of WA guides on Steam ( https://tinyurl.com/TheMadCharlesTODO )
6. Weekly series of showcasing Rope Race maps
7. In-Game Map Making videos
8. TUS Challenge result videos
9. Organize booths at various gaming cons in Poland to promote WA
10. Various WormKit modules?
11. Lower the skill ceiling to encourage activity on tournaments, cups, and league(s)
the problem is, people either forget, ignore or don't want to bring in effort
EDIT1: Also I feel like I peaked my motivation a long time ago...

Guys like cs and dc changed this game upside down. Still being bullied by community about releasing new stuff, after 20 yrs, without getting paid. MI made biggest community site in history of game, 10 years and going. Still being bullied by all of us with league system demands, forum idiotisms, breaking site rules each day..
You're getting demotivated about updating your wa start pack, cause random forum posts? :)
Should we feel sorry or something?
Cmon man, don't be silly. No-one here will be bummed out if you stop from all of what you're doing/planning to do. Need to sit down and realize this. Then decide if you're doing it out of pleasure or out of need for attention and confirmation.

it's just... my fear is that all of my work won't be appreciated as these guys
