I didn't mean to gain extra points. I mean to maximise my one-shot points at a circle. Like, I mess up a throw and it explodes inside the circle, but only after 3 bounces, and I try again, and that time I manage to get 7 bounces, I'd only count the 7 points, and not 10. This is so one doesn't have to start again if they mess up, say, their last throw, but still have 20 nades left.

Can I retry the same circle a number of times until I am satisfied with the number of bounces, and then consider it cleared?

Can you lose control during your run, or do you have to do it in one take?

Husk, could you share the previous map for the hell of it?

Hey, Free, way ahead of you. ;) I have already created such a channel, and outlines for several tutorial episodes. I have one recorded already, and I was about to record two in the past weeks, but a combination of exams and severe coughing kept me from being able to talk any longer than a minute or so. I do plan to record episodes and probably go live within two weeks, though. Gettin' better thanks to massive amounts of tea. :D
What I already have is a plan for a 50-something episode long tutorial series (as of now, further episodes will probably be added to the upcoming list) that'll include practically everything related to WA, not-yet-written contents for most of them, as well as another, non-regular series under planning. Plus a Youtube channel already set up.
I'd be interested in working together with another group, even if it's on a different channel in order not to cross each others' plans. It seems that your channel is aimed at a group of more experienced players, is it not? People who already know their WA well enough, and who are interested in classy videos of gameplay and other things. My target audience is the newbies, so they can get a pretty good view of how WA and its community works, while also trying to show new things to players who have been playing for a while.

(...) so you brought up this aliasing thing to punish some guys you don't like (...)

I'm sorry, are you accusing FFie and me with being biased against eS? Really?

But even if he would have stayed hidden and acted as if he wasn't Tita, but Rola, it wouldn't be aliasing because everyone is free to use whetever nicks they want - provided they use only one, of course.


But yes, aliasing certainly has at least one obvious advantage, that is having your opponent underestimate you. Seeing Kaleu as your opponent may get you bring your A-game - and please, don't start judging Kaleu's true level of skill now, there's no need for that -, while seeing an unknown player may get you think you don't have to be as careful or you don't need to work as hard for your victory. Imagine playing against a top rated player who's using a nick that you have never seen on WormNET. So, yeah, that's one of the more obvious effects.

u are contradicing urself...

No, I really don't. I was talking about the case you brought up, Tita being 3rd during WWO2011 with the nick RoladuraDoce. While he was playing with that nick, he still was open about his clan, mm, who I'm sure you know are no small fries. Just like anyone else with a decent knowledge on clans knows. As such, a player with a nick like "mm`rolamole" is still somebody players should do their best against, while "171", "Two" and "Peshoh" are nobodies when it comes to fame or apparent ability.

So aliasing is allowed in WO since u just do 1 alias?
So 1 alias cant confuse a player, but more of 1 can do it?

That depends.
If 1 alias = having your own nickname AND another one during the same WO, then no.
If 1 alias = having a different nickname than your own during the entire WO, then yes. As far as I know, that is allowed.

Also, I'm really getting tired of this. You seem to be understanding almost nothing of what I'm saying. If your idea of justice is that it's fine as long as it doesn't involve you or your clan's members, then you have a serious problem. Fix it. Until then, stop trying to be smarter than people who are clearly smarter than you. For the time being, though, I'm done explaining myself to you, even though my - and FFie's - actions were crystal clear, while yours are shady and difficult to understand.

No, it isn't.

Also, this was the first - but not the last - WO where we checked aliases. We did so because it was apparent that a handful of players were using them, so we decided to be more thorough.
I don't know who KiTar was, nor do I know about this TaG = MAR thing, but the case of Titahemp is a clear one and a good example for what I want to say: The problem doesn't come from you, Kaleu or anyone else using one nickname, during the entire WO, even if that name isn't the usual one. The problem comes when someone plays with both - or more - nicks. The case of Tita this year - I wasn't here last year, had a long break - isn't aliasing because he was playing as Rola during the entire WO, and he never hid his identity from anyone. When I played against him, I knew it was him even before the pairings were announced. But even if he would have stayed hidden and acted as if he wasn't Tita, but Rola, it wouldn't be aliasing because everyone is free to use whetever nicks they want - provided they use only one, of course.

EDIT: stop always say something like "to eS understand" u must remember that the clan is made ​​up of people and everyone has their opinion. So if you want to speak their minds, define the person and not generalize to the clan! i could hate and speak ill of many clans coz i dont like they or dont agree with some. but would not it be unfair?

Not sure if you directed this towards me as well, but if you did, I'm sorry, I didn't intend to generalize.

Aliasing affects the entire community.

Just 1 more question supreme justicer: Can u explain me how Kaleu bugged the WO System with his alias? Well, Did Kaleu gain some advantage in game? Did kaleu playing under differents names affected the hoster to make pairings? See: i am not defending the aliasers. I am just asking because in TUS, alias really can bug (aliasing u can to get more points, u can join + 1 clan at the same time...).

When writing a lot, mistakes happen. What I meant to write was "Aliasing can affect the entire community." Thank you for pointing that out.
About the effects a single case - or three cases now, more like - of aliasing are nearly impossible to guess, since it would need careful inspection of every game the player played with and without aliasing, comparing them to games outside WO, and so on. This would probably take months. As such, simplifications have to occur. In this case, everyone who used aliases was punished.
But I don't think I ever said Kaleu "bugged the WO system". But yes, aliasing certainly has at least one obvious advantage, that is having your opponent underestimate you. Seeing Kaleu as your opponent may get you bring your A-game - and please, don't start judging Kaleu's true level of skill now, there's no need for that -, while seeing an unknown player may get you think you don't have to be as careful or you don't need to work as hard for your victory.

Prankster: There are so many problems with aliasing that I won't even bother listing them all. They include, however, giving FFie a lot more work, and outright lying to others. And if lying isn't a punishable thing, nothing is.
Also, please refer to my long post where I mentioned it several times that this isn't a new rule. This is a rule that's been around for ages. But sure, let's say for a moment that "been around for ages" isn't a valid reason. As far as I know, aliasing is forbidden on TUS. You play TUS, so does most - if not all - of the players involved in aliasing cases. I kept being reminded during WO how popular and influential TUS is. "Hey, is this the TUS scheme?" "TUS rules?" I had occasions when people would tell me that something is allowed in TUS, so why isn't it allowed in WO, or why am I even complaining that they did what they did. It appeared that enthusiastic TUS players consider TUS the one and only source of rules, schemes and various other things. That being said, why is it that some people assumed the usage of Wormkit modules during WO games, even though the description didn't call for using them, was acceptable because it is in TUS, but none of you seem to have assumed aliasing may just be outruled in WO, as it is here - and rightfully so. Furthermore, again, as I said in my long post, it's not that you didn't get any warnings. Both sm0k and Tavo001 had been punished for aliasing, not entirely sure when, but definitely not towards the end of WO. Maybe even before the half point. You are saying, that none of you involved - either directly or indirectly - have ever taken a look at the player standings, notice sm0k - who was in the top 30, if not higher, so he most likely was visible for most of you unless your resolution is 800x600 -, notice him having a red score, get curious what it means, read the reason why he was penalized, and then put one and one together and think "herp derp aliasing isn't allowed"? Are you really saying that people like you guys, some of you who are so competitive it may well be unhealthy, have never did all this? I'd find that hard to believe. At least one of the eS members had to read it, and then go like "lololol sm0k got punished" with the rest of you wondering and then checking why. If you didn't, then... wow, it's a miracle you realized eS had more points than RoH, because it'd mean you were entirely oblivious to the standings.
You're saying punishments are unfair. I say aliasing is unfair. Punishments only affect a handful of people. Aliasing affects the entire community. Those who can't figure out which is more important don't deserve being part of the WA community, in my opinion.
