Get paid to play..

[TheKomodo]

Why don't we?

This game is over 11 years old, with a damn successful community, surely someone somewhere can think of a way for people to have a chance of securely winning money with Tournaments/Leagues, a Worms Olympics style thing where you pay to enter, the amount of people who enter WO - Hundreds, if every person could pay $20, that's quite alot of money, what's $20? I make that in like less than 2 hours...

200x20 is 4000, split 4000 within the top 10 players or something, if 10 people have a chance of winning some money it would make them more enthusiastic about playing, we have pretty much sorted out all the cheaters so it would be way too hard to cheat for such a thing especially with a wide variety of schemes.

Seriously, I drink about $50 a week at least, even more when I go on a night out.

I would be willing to pay up to £100 every year, for a one-off event with some possibilities of winning something back...

Seriously, let's have a list of people who could afford to spend $20 a month on a league, everyone who reads this, please reply Yes/No would you like to Pay to Play, and if yes, what amount of money could you spend to do so?

It's about time we do something about this game to make it even better, or people will eventually get bored...

You won't believe it Komo, but originally TUS started out as an online game "casino".

This idea was brought up before, and it created a really huge debate in the community. There were many pros and contras, but eventually, the idea was declared bad and got forgotten with time.

I try to find that topic for you and edit this post and paste the link.

If it created a really huge debate, then the half that was pro-play to play could do it?

or people will eventually get bored

So they didn't get bored in 11 years and now they are going to? Lol, don't be silly.

Yeah, yeah, you are so talented and great.

yeh we had this discussion before. Without an extremely secure server, and without the ability to restore crashed games there are too many problems concerning cash games.

Small things arranged with "friends" you have on worms is fine, but when you include lots of people there are too many complications with regards to complaints and cheating.

Whilst it would be exciting to pay to buy in to a cash prize tournament, gambling isnt really going to make the game any better!

[Ray]

I couldn't agree more with NAiL, to be honest. Though this is really sad and unfortunate, but eventually, it would only lead to three-times more complaints, mysterious disconnections and crashes... HANDS UP WHO WANTS THAT!

[Husk]

haha yea i can see one match taking forever because all the "crashes"

[Cueshark]

I think worms is a wholesome and fun party game for all ages.  The idea of proper cash prizes doesn't sit well with me.

There might be a select few people who would be highly motivated to play for money.  Most people probably don't care either way and some think it would be a negative thing for the community.

I'm in the last group.

Seriously dude? That's just lame that you think I am bragging, I work nightshift stacking shelves, NOTHING special, the money is good, that's all, my point was $20 is basically nothing, ANYONE who can afford to have the internet, should be able to afford this, don't jump to conclusions and get off your pedestal...

And seriously? How simple is it? Anyone that starts "mysteriously disconnecting" can be removed, or sorry, you all believe in ridiculous human rights etc etc... It is obvious who drops by accident and who does it deliberately... You should only play it with a very stable and solid connection, if they can't handle it, well unlucky get a better connection...

there is a difference to someone innocently crashing now and again and it happening all the time in a pattern, and if someone says "it's not my fault I have bad net" well unlucky for them, if they want to take it seriously,like I said, they can get a better connection...

Stop thinking of ways to make this not happen, if you don't like the idea, then say so, there is NOTHING to stop this from working if people actually use there brain and think about it.

Every bad idea you could say, I will counter it with a reasonable response to show you how it could work.

So if someone is a nice guy, but he is from a poor country, he would like to take part, but there is just no way to get a better internet connection for him, then he may not take part?

Oh yeah, and there are no other countries, only UK. For instance, average salary here is about 250-300$ a month, so $20 isn't really "nothing". Especially taking to the mind the fact that most of wormers are pretty young people

It is obvious who drops by accident and who does it deliberately...

Hint: it can't be determined at all Also game/comp may crash, you know, they do it sometimes.


Well, seriously, I would go through this topic, but the manner in which you use to post really pisses me off... gl with this, lol.
