Title: Custom Worm names. Ok or not?
Post by: Anubis on December 15, 2011, 08:53 PM
In almost every scheme without worm select you have to keep in mind the order of your opponents worms. Some people use similar worm names to confuse the opponent and I have to waste time to remind or write down the worm names. Since external aids are not allowed anymore I can't write down any worm names anymore. So everybody should be forced to use standard Worm names.

Here are some examples:

Worm 1
Worm 2
Worm 3
..
.
etc.

It's a league and should be an even playing field!

Where your weapons in elite are pen and paper, and kami meters, walrus gains the advantage with scotch whiskey and ciggarettes.  Performance enhancing?  Discuss amongst yourselves.

I think Anubis is relating to 'markings on your screen while playing bng' thread. ;)

I rather find this thread ironical.

I've already gotten in trouble with this in the past when people complained about my team names being the same. The rules already say this is illegal, so I happily changed them back to normal.

"No graves or teamnames may be used that might confuse the opponent."

I think so too..

I don't find this funny really anubis, you've had your fair share of involvement in the rules of leagues to know that external aids that are programs should be forbidden. Rubberworm and cr8 finder is a programme, people have the choice of installing it and its easy to detect.

Different to team names. If you took my statement of an even playing field literally we should all play worms on the same pc, with same keyboard and monitor!

Sure did, but the "advantage" of having an arrow near a cr8 is obsolete. It's like having a tool that tells you how many "insert random weapon" your opponent has used. Information is always an advantage not denying that, but lately I see many solutions with very questionable reasons. A higher resolution is an advantage, getting rid of keylock is an advantage. If you walk the way of an even playing field stop measuring with 2 different sets. If you disallow one thing because it's an advantage to those that haven't got it you sure need to disallow many many more things.

It's like some people want to enforce their way of playing just because they think it's right. I don't care if it's an external program. Remapping keys is most of the time done by an external program. Ban it too. Oh wait most of you use it, so it's ok? Getting quite hypocritical now. ;)

And yeah, I wanted to remind some people that this is a game and you earn no money, no fame or anything with it.

I find it really hilarious that TUS has a rule about making 'confusing' worm names. First of all, intermediate is the only scheme where this matters in the least, it's easy to remember the order of a mere 4 worms in elite or t17. If the names are blank or something, then both sides have the same advantage/disadvantage in not knowing; there's absolutely no need for such a rule.

The other issue of writing down worm names/weapons used should fall under external aids, but that issue really only has any use in NNNL. If you want to prove your lameness though, be like FaD and put everyone on ignore while writing down all the info you need in the chatbox ;D

I'd really understand this if we were talking about intermediate or something but considering that by the time you really need to remember the turn order in most games your opponent has 3 or less worms I cant really see how thats's difficult to memorise by simply remembering the positions of worms on the map that have played and the ones that havent.

as for graves etc dont make me laugh -.-  if you're aware that shit like this might happen you make a mental note and play on, like you do in roper when you set off to get a crate, lets not make a huge deal out of something thats not :/ 

that's my opinion ofc

quote from league rules:
No graves or teamnames may be used that might confuse the opponent.



i prefer the current situation tbh, some people got graves who are bigger than objects on the map and also are rotating. its funny somehow but also distracting.
