Title: Id like to introduce myself my name is...
Post by: RobOne4 on November 08, 2016, 09:01 PM
so I was cleaning out my office and found my WA and WWP discs. I havent played in at least 14 years. Shit I was still living at home with my mom when I played. Since then I have moved 4 different times. But I kept bringing the discs with me. Maybe I thought I would have a Rocky like return and kick some ass but I never installed them. I did play Worms on Xbox Live when it came out on the Live Arcade. It was a bit more difficult playing with a controller. But I was ranked top 10 for quite some time. Anyway because I saw the discs I did some googles to see if there was still a community. I browsed around quickly and saw some familiar names. Maybe a few more will pop up but hello. I hope all is well. What is up?

I could be wrong but I think we met before?

Your name sounds a bell, but I'm not really sure nemore, weren't we like in a clan together? Siad or such?

I am pretty sure I was in your clan during the end times of WL. I was actually trying to think of my old clans but could not remember.

SUSUII YES! That is the one. There was one other clan after that. I believe I left SUSUII because I was never on at the same time as the rest of the clan. So getting in matches was tough. So I left and joined HEX I think. I lasted another 6 months or so after WL died. I stopped playing for a year and made a comeback on cl2k singles and dominated that. But it still wasnt much fun anymore. WL was so much fun. But even then the endless hours of friendlies and talking shit in chat. I was always a night owl so staying up late and mixing it up in chat with all the European players. Good times.

oh shit coo coo kachoo to you. I recognize all of those names. definitely have no plans of playing again. Mostly because my time is limited these days. Some years ago I went and got married. Then I went and had a kid. That kid takes up all of my free time. I used to game a lot on Live. But now I just get random texts from all my Live friends asking when I will return. Maybe one day. Maybe.

I'll do that next time I login. But I only have a 360. Since I rarely play I dont have the need for a One. But with Red Dead 2 dropping I might get one.

Wow dude... can't even believe it...

I'm trying to think what clan we were in together, but can't think of it, I also literally just woke up... maybe it will hit me later...

We were pretty tight back in those days. Can't believe you came back after all these years.   Can you think of the clan we were in? It's really driving me damn crazy right now... 

Anyway, what state are you living in?  I'm in FL
Title: Re: Id like to introduce myself my name is...
Post by: RobOne4 on November 10, 2016, 09:56 PM
I have no idea either. HEX maybe? But yeah we played a lot back then.  If I remember correctly you were super young then too. Like 15 or younger. But I am in Southern California. Good to see you.

my dude!

I hit you up on Twitter (why in the f@#! do you use that crap?) a while back but we didn't talk much. I know you're a parent now and have to deal with all of that. I barely play anymore myself... not that I have anything really important to occupy my time. Just moved on to different games and different struggles, lol.

 You were also active with w0rms (https://web.archive.org/web/20021014134329/http://www.w0rms.com/wl/) together with erod. You were also in a clan called Rn5 (http://worms.4mg.com/rn5members.html). Reading the memberlist I can only recognize saltyk9 there (igotworms)

Not trolling, I was building friendships. Apparently I had beef with RobOne4 and blocked me on AiM and erod was being a bitch about it too. But even with my young age I already acted more mature than I thought I was. Apologizing, caring about others and stuff. And more importantly my English wasn't as bad as I thought it was back then. Using punctuation already!

Hahaha I don't remember having serious beef with anyone on worms. I do remember you posted a lot and were young. But nothing in my memory stands about you that was bad.  I do remember the slightly broken English but it was pretty good and I never had issues understanding you or communicating. Agree on er0d being a little bitch.

Holy shit this is amazing. Rn5 or red number 5 the cancerous ingredient in gummy worms was my first clan. Ghetto hawk was the leader and I kept in touch with that guy for a minute. It was pretty much a joke and never lasted but me and him played and talked for years. But I'm going to have to go through those links when I get home and off my phone that is awesome nice find

you know what now that I think about it you were the same age as most in the community. I was in my early 20's back then and it seemed I was older than most that played. I just turned 35. Man that hex link brings back a shit load of memories. Especially seeing all the AIM handles. I stopped using AIM a LOOOOOOONG time ago. I only used it to communicate with people who I played worms withand a couple of friends. But every once in a while I would logon via Aim Express just to see if my friends were still on it. I would get a ton of random messages 3 and 4 years after I stopped playing from people I never even played with or talked to challenging me to league games. Well one day I get this message from a girl. I had never talked to her before nor did I know her. But we start talking and I am asking how she got my username. She wouldnt tell me. Well we talked for a little while and she sent me a few nude pics. Very attractive girl. Then before she signs off she lets me know she got my username from her soon to be ex boyfriends friendlist. I guess he did some shit to piss her off and she started sending all his friends nudes. Hahaha thanks?

Ladies! Ladies... I ask of you all to simmer down your emotions.

I simply engaged in a humorous way, but I do not fault any of you, like you do with me. After all, it isn't easy to read the intent of each individual users on the Internet. People quickly assumes the worst, banding together with torches and spears, ready cast their definition of justice. Feeling good afterwards of their united action based on their moral notion.

Of course,, I do feel guilty in disturbing the balance of happiness that once occurred in this region.
Hate spreads easily here, like wildfire.

Summary: I do not hate any of you.  Intention was not to provoke but was misread.

So, im not totally sure i remember kradie.. but since i been back this past month, i have had some games with him, and talked with him in AG.. and from what i have seen/experienced, i thought he was a pretty cool guy.

but @ the forums, i have noticed a couple people calling him very annoying, and i can see where they are coming from...   but is that just a few people's opinions?? or is that the majorities opinion?? is he like.. the next DoubleTime?? or what?  i sure hope not, i thought, and still do.. think hes a cool guy... hes never done me wrong, im just wondering how others feel...


anyway, back on topic:  Rob, yes, back then i think the average age of wormers was 12-18 i would say.  now if i had to guess, i would say the average age is 25-35??

I have some questions, that i always wanted to ask a real old, old schooler... guess i never thought of it when others came back, but now that you here, and im thinking of it, i would like to ask...

so, when you did quit the game, did you just totally erase it from your memory??  if you did not save the CD-rom and come across it from time to time, would you never have returned to the game/forums??

for me, i never really left the game for long, i have had many many many 1 year breaks, 2 years breaks, 3, and even maybe 4 years break, but i always had worms in the back of my mind, or kept in touch on forums... i think because i never got involved with any other games (mainly for the fear of getting addicted, and wasting too much time, as i did with worms) it was easy for me to stick around worms for so long...

but i always wondered how people that spent hours and hours, and years and years on this game, could just disappear and never even google to see if any leagues are active, or try to download the game to see if Wnet is active, or even just to toss yourself around on the rope for old time sake.

so in short, i guess the questions are:

have you ever thought of the game, without coming across the CD-rom?

have you ever had the urge to play again in the years since you been gone?

have you ever wondered if people still play, and/or old schoolers are still around?

when you did decide to search for a w:a league/forum/community... were you surprised that w:a still had an active community, and were you surprised to see so many old schoolers that you knew from back then?? or did you expect this?


these may seem like odd questions, i just really have always been curious how it could be such a big part of many peoples lives in the past, but never check back in.

I like Kradie too, but he should stop passing judgment over people everytime someone voices a slightly different opinion. That gives you a rep of being a nagger.. a person who annoys you :D

If he actually got to know Anubis outside the forum he'd know that the beardman deserves nothing but manhugs.

My intent is not pass judgment on other people here. It's pretty self-explanatory when one reads the content of each posts.
I am sure the majority of the posts submitted by people on these forums are thought out. It's just a random banter with no emphasis of personal conflict. It is as you said ''You do not know him'' but ''he do not know me'' So it goes pretty much hand in hand. And I am very sure that a lot of you are great people once one get to know each of you.

Although my first post in this thread was just a humorous confession regardless of truth or not, but it was not taken lightly. Such approach (Which was bold on my end) disturbed the beehive, causing mass debacle of something that should had been taken lightly or ignored.

So in the end...
You may continue to smite me, because you are predictable, I can choose to consume your vanity with logic.

when I stopped playing I had a lot going on in my life. Like I said I was a little older than most of the players. 5 years is a big gap at that age. I was DJing a lot and I was working full time at my normal 9-5. Also new girlfriend who is now my wife. I always wondered about the community more so than the game. But I never really actively sought out forums or anything. Had I never come across my CD I probably would not have looked/found this place.

I always had other shit going on in my life. From DJing and other music shit, wife, sports, and even was big into gaming on xbox until I had a kid. I even told tales of worms with a few of my friends there. But I never met anyone from worms IRL so it never stuck with me like with others. I think I was coolest with Skunk3 and Ghettohawk over the years. I talked with them a lot on aim in the middle of the night. I mean I talked on AIM with lots of people but those two stand out the most. I was just at a busy time in my life and life got in the way. Like it always does.

I think had I played during my teens like a lot of you did. It would have stuck with me a little bit more. But I was already making moves in life. Definitely more important things going on in my life. Worms was never #1 in my life. Or even #2 or #3.

I have never had the urge to play again. Although I might give it a go sometime soon. I actually told my wife about this post and she remembers me playing when we first got together. She told me to install it. MAYBE. I really didnt expect this thriving community. I figured when Team17 abandoned the games everything would just die. This was very surprising.

i guess the age difference plays a big part in it, i never considered that...

being that you started in your 20's im sure you had better things to do, and it was not a major part of your life... for me, being that i started at 12 or 13.. it was a big part of my life, especially being that i was just discovering the internet at that time. i was completely consumed with worms, there was not enough hours in the day for me to play worms :D

so, i just could never imagine leaving the game, and never looking back... but as you mentioned, i guess it depends what age you started playing at... that makes sense...

anyway, you should take your wife's advice, and install the game... its not like you have to play like you used to.. just casual games, maybe even some league games.. i use worms to relax me.. at the end of the day sometimes, ill get on worms and have some games, can relax, and not think about any stressful shit in life, just toss the worm around the map :D

hope you come to ag sometime rob. peace.

For those who don't know Rob, he was one of the coolest players on WormNET. When I talk about the "good old days" of Worms this is what I mean... great ppl who just aren't around anymore. I would play W:A far more often if people would just come back. There's a small handful of people who still play that I enjoy talking to, but nothing like the old days.

Rob, do you have Facebook? I don't really f@#! with twitter. I'm /theprimeministeroffunk

no facebook brother sorry. Back in the myspace days old mistakes kept finding me and creep back in my life. So I have stayed away from ever version since then.

But I did install the game last night. I played one game. I am on right now for a little while longer. Practicing my roping skills. If you want to call them that. I'll leave it installed and see when I can find time to play. Going to try and give this thing another go.

hell yeah!! good to hear! :D

as i said, you dont have to play hours each day... just once in a while pop in for some games, maybe find a clan to join and have some 2v2 clan games...

you will find its pretty relaxing after a stressful day, and most of all... fun ;D   hope to see you soon man.

i would come to play with you now, but im in a clanner ATM.

i found out I now suck at roping and the game that I rarely lost in Elite I also suck in that too. Gonna have to clear my schedule and start a Rocky style training montage.

Post by: avirex on November 14, 2016, 10:46 PM
the competition in elite is about... 10x what it used to be...

back then, there were only a hand full of good elite players, now.. just about everyone is good... there is probably even strategies that were not used back in your day as well...

you will get owned robone!! get used to it :D

not happening. I am chalking up these losses to forgetting the little things. I used to lose 1 out of maybe 10 matches before. I can get back there no problem.

After 10+ years you surely have lost a huge amount of skill, no matter how good you were, that's why I do a warmer or two every month. It kinda helps keeping a decent amount of skill, or at the very least minimize the effect if I was not playing at all.

Btw, if you want we can play a roper now. :) Gonna be in #AG for 10-15 minutes just in case.

Hello everyone, I'm hijacking RobOne's thread to introduce myself. I too haven't played in forever and I recently reinstalled the game after I saw it on sale on Steam.

I used to be active in the early 2000's and while I do remember some names on here (Avirex, Komodo, Anubis), my memories of my time on WA are pretty blurry :) I used to be buddies with FlowingWater, marco, AlienElite, etc. I forget the handles of most of my former friends, sadly.

I was referred here by someone I met on WormNet today, nabwhoo. He was pretty good at roping so I'm glad there is still some talent out there and that this great game still has some life in it!

This was a fun thread to catch up with. Bye Rob! Hey Jim!

FlowingWater is franz now, by the way. Actually streams on Twitch quite a bit, as franz_TUS (https://www.twitch.tv/franz_tus). Can't remember the last time I spoke to Marco or AlienElite, sadly, they were really fun folks as well. Hope they're not gone forever... but then apparently nobody is!

still not gone. I was on the other night and of course like all nights nobody was. I think I need to reinstall the game it is giving me issues. I have not gotten any better though. I guess you have to play more than once every two weeks. Oh well I guess I have to live with my new shitty skills.
