Yesterday i was getting games with WroteRabbit :P and I had a scale. After the game, He told me if i should used the scale, his 1hp worm would die.
So, is it possible to happen? Under what conditions if yes?
someone used it tactically not too long ago, I think he had 1 worm with 1 hp and the other player had 2 worms with 1 hp
If you have 1 worm with 1 hp and your opponent have 2 worms with 1 hp each and you use the scales one of the opponent's worm will die :)

tahnks!
I got it.
The w:a sums the HP total and split by 2. In case of 3 worms with 1 HP, the sum would be 3/2 = 1,5.
System rounds down the HP, so 1.5 = 1.
The team who has 1 worm would get 1 HP (1.5 rounded) and the team who has 2 worms would get 1.5 too, 0.75 each worm. Rouding down... 0! hoho
Well yes, that technique helps a lot if you're at a huge 1 HP worm count disadvantage, but it can't end a game, at least one worm will survive (because your team must have at least 1 HP to be still able to attack).
What decides which one of your opponents worm will die?
I guess it's from left to right... like in which worms turn to grave first when they get to 0? xD

I'm wondering about that too, eh. I'd suppose team turn order is behind that, but I can do further testing once I have time for it.
Why do you guys say "I guess", "I'd suppose"? It takes 2 minutes to check :D
The odd-numbered worms die:
Thanks for testing barman. Well, that seems to make sense for me. I mean, it sounds like there'd would not be enough health (9/2=4.5; then 4.5/8=0.5625) for Worm 1 to live, so he'd die, but the rounded-down 0.5625 HP are added to Worm 2's health (to prevent everyone from dying in such a situation, I guess), which gives him enough health to live (0.5625+0.5625=1.125 => 1), and then Worm 3 can't live either but cedes his rounded-down 0.5625 HP to Worm 4, etc.
