All of the above (the entire thread) is exactly why I do not participate in leagues, cups, clans, tournaments, or anything else "official" anymore. Ever since I stopped giving a rat's ass about rankings or community credibility, my enjoyment of W:A has increased tremendously. Granted, it's still not as fun as it used to be (sorry, the community was a lot more fun 'back in the day'), but I still have a lot of fun ACTIVELY playing the game and improving my skills rather than involving myself with this malarky.

@Emails and tips idea:
As some of you mentioned, people are not so much into reading. But I think a "start page" for each part of the site with big link its essential sections could work. Some sections like "leagues rules" or "schemes rules" could be some useful links to find these faster.

@alpha tester:
Being an alpha tester can be quiet a title for many people. Someone like ropa famous to have a specific character in the community shouldn't be doing that or at least be allowed to announce he is at such position. Seeing that, could be a deal-breaker for many people, not to mention side effects like this:

You say you've been alpha testing, good for you. Last time I checked most of the aplha testers were elitist douchebags who had the fortune of playing WA at a certain time in their lives.
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.

Fact remains you havent been a part of the competitive worming community for the last 5 years, so as you've said you dont know whats gwaning in this community. You havent been hosting games, you're not familiar with many of the players, you're not aware of the scene.




What scene? Your scene? You just proved to know nothing about the alpha testing, so maybe it's you who has been disconnected?
In the last 5 years, like I already said, I've been an active part of different clans who all were challenged for championship in the different leagues that have been hosted in these last half decade. Not only that, I was also staff in various leagues, also a part of the PX testing team, been following rubberworm development in #worms as well as keeping up with the happenings of the spanish LW community something that you'll never be able to grasp, language barriers in place.
I haven't been in AG hosting games, but I haven't hosted games since I changed from RDSI to ADSL, so what's your point? That I'm not aware of the new guys in the block, how exactly is that flawing my judgement?

Seriously Nail, what's your point? Are you implying that I have no authority to talk about the things I talk? You're the one who should excercise humilty here, stop using your keyboard and use your eyes, learn a few things, everyone wins.

I think you suffer from complexes Nail, you're trying hard (including making dates up) to prove that these last 5 years shouldn't count in my WA curriculum. I guess your goal is to somehow justify that you've played the same amount of WA as I had, but I still don't understand what you're trying to prove with it

MI: taking things personal much? Let me take the time to correct you anway. Your use of the term side ffect is wrong because Nail thought that way before I "announced" it as he stated it, therefore it's not a side effect but an effect that was already there, believe it or not I'm not the cause of all evil, so please stop missinforming with the only aim of giving me bad reputation.
As for the announcement, it's funny you out of all people say this, since i recall a couple of reports I've made in this same website and people complaining about not being able to watch the replay whilst others made said announcement you're claiming I'm now making for the first time.
MonkeyIsland, my friend, I know your english is terrible and your understanding of society limited. However, in real life, people attack and humiliate others without the use of a single bad word. They even go to war with lengthy politeness. You can't base the whole moderation philosophy of a community based on the use of bad words and your struggle with sarcasm and irony. My attack to Jonno was fully justified and of proper good taste.

Some words in this topic were true, some were not, decide yourselves. It's pathetic that this is the best this community can do on a forum, to have one person actually coming up with an idea (thank you nino) and others keep doing this... whatever the hell you are doing here.

Go on, keep doing this, I'll be out of this game.

And actually ropa was right, this forum should be moderated and these posts (including some of ropa's ;D) should be removed. Shame on you guys, 8 year olds do this there and back, nonsense, "trying to top the other and proove every single word wrong with a different view" bullshit.

TheKomodo

Btw Nail, theres 4 leagues here not 3 ;) :P

I am seriously engrossed with the way ropa writes on this forum, he reminds me of Bill Hicks so much, comedy yet serious and learnful :)

And tbh, f@#! being a tester in any game lol, I ain't waiting my time/electricity testin shit when I can just wait and actually play it.

I wrote a long post before correcting you on all of the SHIT TALK that comes out of your mouth, so did Darkone, you couldnt come back to any of it.

I treat people with the same respect they show to ME.

You hijacked this thread. The original point of this thread was people not u understanding rules (which isnt a problem as ive shown, and ray you havent replied to me).

You have not been a part of the competative community for the last 5 years, you said it yourself. With regards to tus all you've done is pop in occasionally to post troll threads. When you get pulled up on the bullshit that you come out with, you dont respond to it, you change the subject and then you stop insulting people and try to act like a nice guy "who just wants to help out".

You're so transparant ropa, anybody with half a brain can see you for what you are.

So having played clanner playoffs as well as clanners until the birth of TUS, around two years ago means I haven't been part of the competitive community for 5 years.

I can't really debate when you make your own rules, like changing the value of numbers.

you're kidding me, right?

Back up your claims and double check your "sources" or shut the hell up Nail, that's all the helpful advice I can offer you.

You already admit you havent been around for the last 2 years, and you havent been active for the last 5 as you were for the previous 5... thats the truth.

Now about the other bullshit you spouted,

Whats TUS propaganda?

Rok

If TUS is supposed to start moderating the forums it could start right here and tell you to not start a fight. Fair enough?

Why are you putting words in my mouth? You first said I haven't been a part of this community for the last 5 years, you then changed your oration and stated I haven't been part of the competitive scene for the last 5 years and now you've changed it again to say I just were more active the first 5 years than the latest 5, in the middle also implying that I wasn't even active in XTC.
If there's one thing we can extract from all you say about me is that you have literally no idea about me.

I will refresh your memory though, or try to. I don't know if you remember than when you started playing you asked me numerous times to test your BR maps and I gladly did. Do you think you would have had the chance to ask me in #ag, meet me, and have me play your BR maps in a time were I wasn't active? Come on now, how else would I end up playing BR with someone who at the time was just a player trying to learn worms?

But even if what you said was right, which it isn't, you still haven't revealed what sort of argumentation you're trying to achieve with such statement, let's say I didn't play worms for the last 10 years, what does that change?

edit: I wonder if being one of the founders of the best clan TUS has ever seen in its lifetime doesn't warrant me being part of this new competitive scene you speak of? :(

I did not give you an answer NAiL because all you did was gave a different opinion about what I said. What should I do? The same thing you guys are doing here? I won't do that. The result of our conversation was that everyone could realize that you and me disagree. I will stick to the topic and as I said before, I will think about something, a plan, a solution, something, that - in my opinion - could make the site better.

It's another thing that in my view, I believe that those changes, that will hopefully be executed - will help and change the community. You don't think that, you don't see the need of that change, I do.

Master plan: simplify the website. Now start brainstorming and stop shittalking.

m8... I knew we played some games ages ago, doesnt change the fact that you havent been as active in the competative community in the last 5 years as I have. You've done some testing, cool, played the odd clanner, cool, you havent been a common face in wormnet like for example... Husk or SiD.

I hold a grudge at you for trolling TUS when it started. Ive only flamed 2 people on this forum.

Ill admit, you may have been more active than I thought, although you've still not been near TUS.

but m8... this is one point you raise, you still talk too much bullshit that you cant justify.

you couldnt come back to me on any of the other points I brought you up on (which I hope is because you realise you are wrong).

Its not the things you know about I have a problem with, its the things you assume and things you lie about.

again, what is "TUS propaganda"?
