This thread was mainly invented to let people predict the 2015 Worm Olympics. It's not too early to predict 2015's Worm Olympics! Who will win? How many tournaments will be hosted? Who will be banned from the Worm Olympics? Which clan will get the most points? Which country will get the most points out of all the countries in the Worm Olympics? Who will host the tourneys? How many players will there be? How many schemes will be hosted this year? Predict these and more in this year's Worm Olympics prediction thread.

Personally I hope WO stops, the point system sucks and there aren't enough players for all countries to make it a proper event, missing replays, people not understanding rules etc...
Plus it's impossible to compete against the people who play every damn Tournament, and how are you supposed to compete with 100 russian players when your country has only 5 lol...
The idea behind WO is awesome, but in reality it sucks, trying to find a game with your friends and they are like "No, playing some stupid WO Tournament like Comet Dodgin which is a complete waste of time but I do it for the lolz..."
If WO was organized better i'd probably like it but it's so flawed it's annoying and kills Wnet for 1-2 months every year...
SAY NO TO WO!

better than playing shitty darts

You are noob in all schemes so :P 8)

It is? I never pay much attention to real olympics but I know there are enough players in multiple countries so that there are several competing top positions, unlike WA where it's basically, a russian clan and a russian player who will win lol.

Gonna be UK's year :)

Gonna be UK's year :)
Why so sure? xD
-
me poh for 1st place for russia
but only in WO i can play different schemes with different players, :)
-
Wo = no life
Winner = player who completly doesn't have life and play every tourney
That's why wo sucks xd + tournaments in stupid schemes like CD lol
Wo was funny 5 years ago when top players played it like Random, Dulek, Spw and others... Now wo is full of noobs... Ever win wo was consist of fame... Now lol every noob who plays so mucg can win it...
-
i see results of WO2006 - ideal !!! 1 tourney each day )))

It is?
It totally is.
Olympics top 3:
1988: 1: Soviet Union, 2: USA, 3: West-Germany
1992: 1: Unified team*, 2: USA, 3: Germany
1996: 1: USA, 2: Russia, 3: Germany
2000: 1: USA, 2: Russia, 3: China
2004: 1: USA, 2: China, 3: Russia
2008: 1: China, 2: USA, 3: Russia
2012: 1: USA, 2: China, 3: UK
Notice any repeating names? :) Big countries with big money. Countries either don't have a lot of money (India and such) or not a lot of people (small european countries), so they don't get close to the top spots.
You can take from WO whatever you like. If winning the most points is irrelevant to you, that's fine, but you can still play other schemes, as Dmitry pointed out.
*(Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Khazakstan, Kyrgystan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan)
-
Yeah but that still looks like 4/5 different countries have chance for top position, with WA it's pretty much always gonna be Russia atm, obviously real olympics are still quite similar but I don't think quite as bad lol.
As others said here, I liked WO some years ago when it was more skilled and organized, these days it just seems to be all the heavily luck based funner schemes.
I would love to take part if there were less Russian players, and more UK, USA, Germany, France, Spain etc, but sadly it's like bringing a knife to a gun fight...
-
Does it matter what country wins? I would just play for fun seeing as there are not too many live tournaments these days...
-
Ye, WO helped me a lot to become more familiar with WA community, so its not that useless :D
-

Yes, if I were to play, it would matter to me.
You know how much I dislike unfairness in games, WO to me is one of the most unfair and ridiculous things that ever existed on WA.
I understand it's fun for other people who don't care about doing the best they possibly can, doesn't mean I can't hate on it :P
-

I will the do the best I can, but for personal glory only :P
I mean it would be nice if my country won but it is not the most important thing for me.

/me ponders
It's weird for you to focus on the negative rather than the positive...
The tourneys that are hosted in WO are the ones the community hosts. If there are no darts tournaments, you could ask dS why no one is hosting one.
You can use WO for whatever you like. You can play some new schemes you've never seen/played before to see if they are fun, you can play in multiple tourneys in the schemes you do like and you can play for points.
Clearly, the latter is not for you, but that still leaves 2 options.
-
LOL! I just knew you were gonna use those words against me in this thread :D
Not the best of moves being involved in 2 threads with opposite feelings at the same time haha ;)
There are actually plenty Darts Tournaments, I play some of them simply cuz there is nothing else for me to do while other people are playing WO, that's the main reason I don't like WO, it decreases Clanner activity and I can't play dS Tours etc with people cuz WO lol, that's the disadvantage to being a scheme specialist :/
-
Remember: 2015 Worm Olympics PREDICTION thread! That means that there should be predictions going on. Also, I play to see if I could represent the Ultra league, for points, and for promotion of my Ultra league. The Worm Olympics also open up new opportunities to improve my skills, so I'll play more games this year than I did in the 2014 Winter Worm Olympics...
-
Well, sorry to burst your bubble, Komo, but...

Well, sorry to burst your bubble, Komo, but... It seems Worm Olympics has started so f**k everything else in WA for the moment...
At least try and make sure replays and standings are properly updated this time.
And btw, should get rid of the "multiplier" thing, it's a pretty bad idea, only the popular schemes like Comet Dodging and Hysteria will have most players, schemes like Roper, TTRR, WxW, Darts, Abnormal all miss out...
OMG it's just so horribly organized lol, I wish it was more balanced so I could actually enjoy it...
-

Those are updated automatically once the replays are uploaded, so I don't understand why you're demanding this of Balee. It's not like he joins every game ever on WO and has to upload them all himself.

You do understand why the multiplier was added, right? It's far less hard to win a tourney with 16 players than it is to win one with 60 players. Seems perfectly logical to me.
I wish it was more balanced so I could actually enjoy it...
That's what the multiplier is for, silly. The problem with medal count is that the system is inherently unbalanced. You could count the average, but then the person who wins the first tournament could just not play any more tournaments and claim the win of WO - especially if you remove the awful, dreadful idea of the multiplier.
In your view, the best WO would probably be one where each scheme gets the same attention with regards to how many tournaments are held, but here's the thing - WO doesn't have a small group of mods who could take care of all tournaments. The simple fact is that not all schemes are equally popular.
You've put yourself into a niche corner with darts and such, so make the best of that niche during the olympics or stop complaining :P

Worm Olympics start on July 18. From then until August 16, you can do mid-season predictions. On August 17, predictions end and this thread will be locked.

It didn't work last time there were big delays, I wasn't the only one to notice.

No, it isn't "far less hard" the best players will still always beat the lesser skilled players at least until the final 4-8 pretty much every single time. Please stop making claims that aren't bloody true...

I have always hated WO, but you wouldn't understand.

More players = more skilled players (or more 'best players' as you put it) and therefore more competition and therefore harder to win. The concept is not that bloody difficult to understand as long as you're willing to listen to opposing views.
I have always hated WO, but you wouldn't understand.
So far, the only reason you give for hating WO is that you can't win the overall standings outright.
I understand that, but it's not a very good reason (http://wqdb.org/index.php?556) for hating it.

Who cares, WO starts this weekend. Fun fun and then afterwards we bitch bitch. Not before.

Cant wait to bitch you in our obligatory team ups xD

More players = more players
More skill = more skill
More players DOES NOT = more skill unless it's more SKILLED players...
Dafuq is wrong with you? You really don't have a clue what you are talking about lol.
A lot of the schemes are heavily luck based, so it's easier to win those against skilled players.
But for stuff like Hysteria, Intermediate, Elite, T17, etc, it's pretty much always the same players who win no matter how many play, so go fly away with your absolutely absurd bullsh*t lol.

When did I ever say I don't like WO because I can't win? Look, I don't mind debating/arguing with you, but please don't just make up lies about me, I have never EVER played this game solely to win and I never will, I always focus on the scheme I enjoy the most, being very good at it only happens because I focus ONLY on that scheme so it's pretty much inevitable...
I've already listed the reasons I don't like WO, I am actually shocked, you usually manage to read and understand what people are saying...

Yeah, but I'm practicing. I practice often on TUS. I also practice on my Ultra League (AKA BlameThePixel 2.0). Eventually, I'll win tournaments. Also, wormers eventually retire at one point, so they stop playing the Worm Olympics altogether. So, basically, it changes often.

You should try practicing on my Ultra League/BlameThePixel Revival. After all, there is going to be quite a lot of practice you'll get with that league. That way, you'll start to not suck at the Worm Olympics.

I'm shocked that you managed to criticize the WO in a WO Prediction Thread. Seriously. If you're going to rant about the WO, make a new thread for it.

I'm not going to explain basic statistics to you, since it clearly doesn't ring a bell for you and will contend with posting another xkcd image in the spirit of HHC's post:

Not going to bother with the rest either. Enjoy WO or enjoy complaining about WO. Whatever rocks your boat.
-

Until you can understand how competitive gaming works, shut up. You have never dominated a scheme so you will never know what it's like to easily win Tournaments.
-

There were some technical difficulties we experienced, but you wouldn't understand.
But yeah. We get it. You're a special little snowflake.
Good for you.
-

Indeed, but unlike DarkOne, I can admit that I wouldn't understand something ;)
However it would be nice to have detailed explanation anyway, I remember being told before about technical difficulties am I correct in remembering it was something to do with email accounts? Never really got the full story just that it was something to do with emails not being received properly.

No, that would be even worse...
Lol, nice to see my ideas are so good people steal them :D
-
I'd like to remind you, DarkOne and Komo, that you had a lot of fun in Teamspeak once upon a time, I think D1 made an impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger and you really liked it. Remember those times and be friends again.
-
Lool, I remember that, D1 was obsessed with Haggis too :D
But yeah, I don't hate D1, I hate WO 8)

Probably just waiting to be approved. If not many have been registered however, I might end up hosting a Retro cup...
-
Yo, time to approve some tournaments :)
-
Predict Usa will win WO because cheeseburgers, capitalism, fake fits, and apple pie.
-
I predict that Ben Richards will win the most medals!
Is each of these tourneys played in one day/evening, or do they spread out over multiple days? I can't tell from the website...
I will the do the best I can, but for personal glory only :P
I mean it would be nice if my country won but it is not the most important thing for me.
+1 :)
