or wait, you cant.. cuz ur thumb is on the screen like komos, ae?

dude.. ur lame.... we beat you fair and ur mad....   

third of all, i placed a girder and used it to bounce and shortly after got knocked with a nade and teleported.  The girder never blocked a potential shot from bfw, it didn't change the outcome at all.. i was willing to take the consequences if you did hit the girder.. i needed a hide badly.  You never hit the girder, so how was i using it as cover?

You can all suck my lovely cock! Zero respect to all of you who think you f@#!in invented worms or something, f@#! you too.  I only read 1 page out of the ongoing 6 pages and you can all suck it. Bng needs rules or it's not bng, did msdos sorched earth have any problems? No! I can't care less what you wanna call your weirdo schemes just don't call it bng!

/drunk out!

I don't remember what I said in the clanner Komo saw to inspire him to make this thread, but I agree with him completely.  Before W:A, Worms2 played bng with no rules, with this complex cups map, and multiple worms (likely due to manual placement missing), and it was fun.

When W:A came out around 1999, it had its own bng scheme again without rules in its own ranked bng channel, and it was nothing like how it is today. I don't have the exact scheme anymore, but I remember it being more spicy than the current bng scheme, as it had petrol bombs I think among other things (if anyone can find this old bng scheme, others may like to see it), but again the main point is that it was still fun.

After W:A's ranks and ranked channels got destroyed around 2000, that's when the W:A community leagues started making their own bng schemes.  That's largely where our current bng comes from.  Between 2000-2008, I will try to describe the progression of bng.  With every worms league WACL/cl2k/WL/FB/xtc/TUS, it felt like more and more 'fairness' rules were being added to bng up till today.  Someone also decided that all bng maps had to be flat and horizontal, so that stuck as well.

While bng settings may have stayed mostly the same since 2000, the mentality and culture of bng has just gone deeper and deeper into this ideal of HONORABLE and FAIR play to the extreme, that every turn now is decided by the fear of being called LAME.  There was no one person who ultimately decided what was LAME or FAIR in league play -> it just happened over time and no one challenged it.  It just snowballed into what we have today, and now most everyone is simply used to it and doesn't really see the point in changing anything.

I'm not saying it's wrong to like bng how it is today, everyone is entitled to think that.  I'm just saying that there was a lot simpler time when wormers didn't play with this sense of lameness and honor.  They just enjoyed playing worms as it is, a ridiculously fun and entertaining game.

No rules bng will always have my vote.
