On a more serious note though, it's sad to see so much drama, fight, selfish behavior and what not during WO. I don't believe it's one, two, or ten persons fault, it's something that we are all fault in. Ofcourse, some players are worse then others, but that will always be the case. Banning them works on a short-term period but not in the long run. I think I wrote a similar post after last years olympics, where I gave my opinion on why we're having these tournaments in the first place. What's the purpose of having such a large group of tournaments every summer and winter?
Why has FFie been holding this event for the past 10 years? Such voluntary work that goes on for such a long period of time has always a strong passion and will behind it. I can't speak for her, but while all she has ever done is giving of herself, I feel we give little, if not nothing, back in return. Last years mess as an example. WO is such a big part of WA's history, but I can't really see how, or more importantly why, it should continue to be held.
I don't know how many more chances we'll get, but something has to change... And it has to come from the community. I can't remember that there was so much ignorance and bullshit before. I want to say everything was so much better before, it's such an easy way out of the issue, just staying completely out of it, but it's not a good one. What can we do? 
Bravo, mate.
"Sorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 12 hours." Damn
I for one can't stand all this drama, which is why I'm not very active in worms lately. I think I get my fair share of drama at work already and WA is supposed to be my way of escaping the drama of real life. The sort of drama that gets created here just for the heck of it is just so petty, too.
What's worse is that all this bullshit creates extra work for moderators (in this case, especially for FFie and Balee - and I don't recall either of them pissing anyone off unless they thoroughly deserved it). A chimpansee is smart enough to realise it's a bad idea to throw your poop at the people who do something for them that they like. I don't think this is an intelligence race anybody should want to lose.
Now, I'm sure a couple of people who feel they are being talked about are going to think "well, Asbest was the problem!". To that, I can respond with a quote:
[22:50] <aAa`Asbest`LoF> ok, thanks.
Less than an hour earlier, he was so angry at, well, everyone, but for some reason especially me, he said he wished me to be tortured eternally in hell (or something in that order). Not sure how something like a game can inspire that kind of anger in anyone, but never mind that. All I did after that was talk to him.
It's easy to look at someone unpopular and having fun at his or her expense, I see it all the time. Very popular in primary schools, but also online. But you have to remember that
Asbest did
not start out
like this.
You don't have to like everybody, you don't have to show up at their birthday party, you don't have to buy them gifts. Just show them some decency.
It's a sad thing too, because there are plenty of awesome people on WA.
Pyroman, making an easy to use pairing tool for tournaments, for example.
LeTotalKiller and many others, hosting tournaments and taking all the abuse without resorting to bullying themselves.
SPW, hosting eac like that.
MI, always looking for ways to improve TUS.
People hosting cups again and again, like HHC, pizzasheet, Komo (you can say all you want about Komo and he does have his negative sides, but he damn sure does a lot for WA)
The list goes on (I won't include the whole list, since the post would be too long) and for such a small game, that's impressive. And you'll notice that none of them has ever asked for even a thank you in return.
And you know what? It's not even a problem if you're not in that impressive list. People will host their projects because they like it and if you have a good time playing in them, all the more power to you. Just don't make the organisers feel like they're doing something they don't enjoy.
