Calling all you old farts

<< < (2/7) > >>

TheWalrus:
I don’t really remember much about these times anymore but I remember Jamandy making fun of me for being a fat walrus and then he posted up a pic and he was like 300 lb

TheKomodo:
I remember HoS and TEA dominating everything, used to play with Link a lot, he was like my best online buddy for a while then all of a sudden he just vanished.  :(

CuSticK:
Man! I havent heard the name Jamandy in ages! Also I used to love playing with Link or Omega9. The good ol days... lol

TheKomodo:
CuSticK, not sure if you already know this website but a huge list of people here - https://worms2d.info/People

I think of WA as having different eras, for me it feels like - 1999-2004 / 2004-2008 / 2008-2012 / 2012-2016 / 2016-2021

Kinda just wanna write down a few people that had the most impact on me during the first few years between 1999 and 2002.

Do you remember any of these people? Have any similar stories?

M3ntal - Met him through Warmers, SfX hype and a shared passion for music production, since then i've been down to England to visit him pretty much every year except last year of course and we remain good friends.

Avatar - Along with DodgeFreak we made BDD - Bringers of Death and Destruction, my first clan! This guy was from Holland, I remember chatting with him almost everyday via ICQ about school, girls, parents, being bullied and so on, i'll never forget him!

DodgeFreak - Used to play so many warmers with this guy, he was in our clan BDD, was a great roper and a great friend!

Link - Man, Link was so important, I played with him a lot and learned to become a consistent Roper because of him, he was so ridiculously good at actual Ropers with this amazing charm and friendly personality that was so laid back and easy to get along with.

TheSheriFF - This was the first "pro" roper I ever saw, this is the guy who made my internal dialogue go "WTF!"

TheHamster - Leader of TEA, which I joined during their comeback in 2006, a lot of fun games.

Jmoberg - Inspired me so much with his legendary scrolling and power spikes, he was so fast!

FlowingWater AKA Franz - Before the massive news that FlowingWater was actually a guy called Franz, highly regarded as one of the best Ropers of all time, skilled at every roping scheme, insanely consistent in Ropers and absolutely magnificent in Warmers, a style that was a pleasure to watch.

Leadermagikarp AKA Ropa - Before all the aliasing and controversary surrounding Ropa, he was an extremely ambitious roper and we both beginners when we met and kind of got better at the same pace, both quickly becoming very strong in Ropers and fast in Warmers by early to mid 2000.

TheFudo & TheWalrus - I cannot remember exactly which year I met these guys, but remember all night Warmers with Fudo and playing a lot with Wally as well and ALWAYS got these 2 mixed up for some reason, at one point I thought they were the same person... Both absolute units and legends in my eyes.

BigC & Nimmer - I forget which clan they were in, but used to play against them a lot in clanners, they were both excellent ropers and friendly.

FaTaL - Someone I warmed with a lot who coined the move "The FaTaL Dance" which another community started calling pinball, it will always be the fatal dance to me though!

SpinWinG AKA TheClasH - This guy was nuts at Warmers, was the first person I saw doing multiple kicks/double kicks/triple kicks in succession and was a very solid Roper.

Fabrousse - From what I remember, Fab and SpinWinG were both French, and they were kinda like best buddies, when I first met them SpinWinG was already highly skilled but Fab was more of an average skilled player, very capable but nothing stood out as being special, however he did go on to make one of the most famous Roper map packs of all time, so he has a great legacy!

Volrin - This guy at times felt more like a myth than a reality, I only ever saw him play a few times but f**k me the dude was insane, was considered by many to be the greatest roper of all time, yes, even better than Anubis, Volcolm & Mablak. (I would say Mablak is definitely the best TTRR player of all time though)

Volcom - During that era of 1999-2004, Volcom was straight up the best "Roper" player there was(by Roper I mean the scheme Roper, not the generalization of using rope), his statistics reflect how good he was, insanely consistent, pretty much never fell, never missed crates and never missed shots.

marco - This guy had a magnificent style in warmers and could pull off beautiful combinations of moves, one of the top ropers of the early era. I wish I could remember the 4/5 letter acronym that he invented that he taught people how to rope with. It was something like:  Timing, Adaptability, Practise, Speed. Or something similar...

Actually, not only with roping but marco actually changed my life, told me about the pineal gland, lucid dreams and a lot of other stuff, would chat about theories, possibility of other life in the universe, astral projection and stuff. He helped me to become confident in myself and talking to girls and stuff, i'm actually pretty angry at myself I forgot about him because immediately when CuStick mentioned MASH I was overwhelmed with memories with marco, dude straight up changed my life in a positive way!

Sensei:
One of the rare novel posts of yours that I managed to read through lol.
