Worms History - From Rankings to the birth of TUS

(1/28) > >>

Crazy:
I think it's important that we preserve the different achievements and data of worms throughout the years. I don't trust the backup-sites to last forever, therefor I decided to gather information from a total time period of a decade. I've focused on the personal achievement by players and clans (Hall of Fame), staff and Awards (some are still missing here). There's been more leagues then those presented here, but these are the one that lasted longest and which have been possible for me to retrieve data from. I'm sure there's lots of data that can be added here with the help from others, please PM me and I can add it to the post.


The time of Rankings:

TheWalrus:
Thought IBB founded worms league, not HHC.  Or maybe this is just a misconception I've had all these years.

HHC:
misconception  ;)

I did, but IBB soon took over website design/coding. I was limited to keeping track of the standings, handling complaints and fighting with ropa on the forums  :D

cos noob at code.


btw crazy, as much as it is brave and desirable, it's gonna be a disappointing experience too. I remember a lot of things, but it's all mixed up and I wouldn't be able to put a time-tag on it. It's unfortunately an illusion that we can get an anywhere near-complete overview of worms history.
Only thing we have is a few fragments of sites and countless stories without any real facts or figures.
