just been on wormnet for 1st time in months got kicked from every game
That pretty much sums up what's wrong with worms nowadays, doesn't it? Seems like people should listen to Cueshark some more.
To be honest it doesn't, to begin with people have always been kicked from games even when WA started, there is nothing wrong with kicking people you don't know from games, there are only 3 reasons I will kick someone from a game:
1) If they don't speak English(so can't learn rules from me).
2) They speak English but aren't willing to listen/learn rules.
3) I am hosting a clanner or another game designed for specific people.
But I will usually write a message before kicking them, telling them why I am kicking them.
If I ever see someone in #AG asking for help about anything I will do whatever I can to help, but there are so many people who either don't wish to learn or who are impossible to teach because they don't speak English, when WA 1st came out there were so many American, British players and generally English speaking players who would sit and chat in the lobby, it was easier to communicate back then, now most players don't speak English as their primary language, so it's ridiculously hard to teach/tolerate noobs when you can't communicate with them, this goes with Russian players not being able to teach English or Spanish etc, and Italian not teaching French etc...
The ONLY way people will stop being kicked is if there are automatic messages in each players language of choice which explains rules/schemes/websites etc, popping up in #AG and other channels every 30-60 seconds or something, and also each time they log on or start WA little "Did you know?" hints and tips could pop up like you get with other games.
But with T17 showing no interest in WA, I doubt a project like this could ever work.
