2. There are several options for Kaos Shopper (supermarket), so if you vote for him, then write which option suits you best:

[Kradie]

I voted GBA, and Teleport Shopper by me.

[Lupastic]

1) Fly Shopper scheme:
https://worms2d.info/Shopper#Fly_Shopper and this scheme also has many variations, Fly Shopper Public Cup

2) Driver scheme:
https://worms2d.info/Driver and an example of a game in the TUS challenge

^ My votes go for these 2 mentioned above, Fly Shopper (this cup: https://www.tus-wa.com/cups/cup-919/ , and the cup's scheme: https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-2284/) possibly on any legit fly shopper map
And Driver scheme (Duo race) possibly on any boom race maps

All options are great though (except for goku battle arena wtf) I'm glad the right schemes made it here I miss Wormopoly, Pool, Basketball (Hoops) a bit though :c I hope one day they would be part of a league where only the rarest of the rare schemes are there

[Echiko]

Fly shopper (as to see something recalling shopper) and Driver scheme (I enjoyed SIBASA's challenge where I even won a very nice bronze medal!)

[FoxHound]

Honestly, if any Shopper scheme win I will not play the league, maybe only Supermarket Shopper because it has sdet at least. I like Fly Shopper, but I really think Fly Shopper and Surf Shopper shouldn't even be here, they are very known schemes, and any known scheme will have a huge and unfair advantage here and will remove the votes on the alternative schemes that really metter to know if people want to try. This is an experimental league.

I changed my votes because I don't wanna play Shopper. I think Shopper is the opposite of the idea of ESL.

By the way. You forgot to mention that Triple Shopper is the oldest public scheme I know of this type (older than Supermarket and Kaos shoppers). And DBC confessed he based on an existing scheme of this type at the time, so even his scheme is not "new".

[SIBASA]

Perhaps the presented list of schemes is imperfect and perhaps this is my mistake, but at the moment I do not want to express my opinion in detail on this, so as not to influence the voting process.
This is only the first experience of creating this kind of league and it may not be perfect, but if we can spend the first season according to the won scheme in this voting and live to see the second season, then we will try to make the voting better and more thoughtful, but for now, nothing to change in the current I will not vote, because it will not be correct.

In conclusion, I will say - vote for the scheme that you really like and according to which you will be ready to play the whole season.

Honestly Foxhound, I don't want to disappoint you too much but with your love for all kinda sdet schemes you are almost alone. We have Kaos scheme for sdet, and it is the most frequently hosted scheme in the past 2 years, people love that. Those other schemes with sdet I saw you like for example plop gum, mortal, these schemes not only not make too much sense, but really no one knows them, and in competitive league they would be kinda bad idea to have. I like drown syndrome scheme it can be very exciting, but once again, it is probably too late to raise it up to a league scheme. I saw TUS had cups hosted with this scheme that seemed fun. It might be too late to promote all the other sdet schemes that are rare, you know? But also these black hole bng, golf, shopper etc, I don't think I have ever seen someone hosting this, even if you would like to place all these unknown schemes here, it would be a very inactive league. You might call this experimental league not so experimental anymore, but these are probably all better ideas we have here.

I don't want to force the whole community to play all the existing schemes of this game. I just want to see people trying different schemes that are very well thought and were tested but people just don't know, because they will keep playing schemes like Fly Shopper that has a special category with 24 pages of maps (around 28 x 24 = 672 maps) it's obvious people will vote on a scheme they know, that is vastly played on AG and received many, many WO tournaments. Surf Shopper has 5 pages of maps (around 28 x 5 = 140 maps) and also received WO tournaments, being vastly played in AG. Not to say TUS stuff.

I'm just defending people play at least some of the schemes people spend time of their lives creating that might enhance the activity if people enjoy playing a different scheme.

[h3oCharles]

@lupastic, you not being interested in playing someone else's schemes is a different topic that probs doesn't belong in a league where target audience is people genuinely interested in playing someone else's schemes

Anyway, if you want to question the legitimity of this voting Foxy, you gotta take into consideration that Korydex and a few other guys posted this poll on discord as I heard, and had everyone to cast votes for the Alt-F4 scheme, so for me these kinda votes are rigged anyway all the time (: It's not clean, it doesn't work as everyone is casting their votes on what they truly want or believe. As you said earlier, the community will always focus on playing 1 scheme mainly that a small group of friends want to, and the others need to assimilate to their choice That's all. For me it's ok though, I like alt-f4 But these votes will never work out a pure clean way, just saying.

That's why Alt-F4 is leading a lot now, and it was leading a lot in the previous round of poll as well

Why would you say something like that? I voted for teleporting and I don't even care about this league

[Kradie]

Nepotism is strong among the WA elites, just like DAVOS elites.

But seriously, best way to advertise a scheme is to host cup, and Korydex succeeded in this with Alt-F4. Though this scheme got a lot of praise for supposed originality Ignoring the eerie similarities of Lucky Strike. Am I upset that Lucky Strike was Ignored? Let me put it this way: I got bored of Lucky Strike in a few weeks time and Csongi kept asking me if we could play it. I felt bad to refuse his wet Innocent puppy eyes  :'( So we had a few games  So yeah, I sort of let the scheme fade into obscurity without the effort to make it popular and moved on. When I saw Alt-F4, I was like ''Hmmm, yeah this is like LS''. I made a post about it then, people Ignored, and I just moved on. So ultimately it is my fault anyway..

Here is another example.... If I would had left WA after the creation of Lucky Strike, and then someone told me years later ''Kradie, someone made a scheme called Alt-f4, it is sort of like LS''  Would I had cared? No.

The other way to advertise a scheme is to host it a lot.. That's what I am doing now with ''Kill 2 Steal'' (K2S). I plan to make a cup for this scheme in the future because the reception so far seem to genuinely nice. I also do ask people if they want to play it..

When it comes to other people's schemes on THESE polls so far, I haven't played all of them. Why?
- To many schemes to test
- No one makes cup for them (I joined the realistic scheme cup)
- No one hosts them
- No one comes to my face and ask me ''Kradie, let's try this scheme?''

But I also suspect, that there can be favoritism in this community, that's why some schemes does it better. People can't separate the scheme and the author. What's Important is that you have fun with the people you hang with.. I think most doesn't give a damn who made this and that... We add to much Importance into this. Yes I believe I contradicted myself. But this is because I'm rambling  a lot now.

I also suspect someone will come with a long tiring and provocative political propaganda monologue soon on a Worms forum, again.. I just hope I am wrong.

[Lupastic]

Why not make a 2nd round of poll to the schemes that were out in the 1st round? Of course ignore the schemes that got 0 votes, but wouldn't it be better that all the schemes that were left there and did it make it here to give them a 2nd chance, and maybe we could choose 5 or 10 of them so they can be in this league as well? Plus the ones that we have in the current poll.

[Lupastic]

We left schemes like: wormopoly, rowy, blast zone, lucky strike, drown syndrome, hoops, pool, hide and seek, realistic there.. ;O

Your idea is interesting, it would be like a Free League, but for underground schemes. However it would have the same problems of these leagues: 1 person picks a scheme the other person doesn't want to play and then the second person chooses a different scheme that the first person doesn't want to play. Since all these schemes are experimental ideas, I don't think this would be so bad, people would play more different schemes.

The idea of voting and playing only 1 scheme per period is not bad too, because people would focus more on the most voted scheme and then wait for the next scheme to be elected.

Anyway, let's play the way SIBASA planned on the first try, and then we can think in other possibilities or systems for ESL.
