Leagues General / Leagues Rules
« on: December 27, 2008, 07:41 PM »
1) General Rules, Behavior

  • Spamming is disallowed in the games and also on our site. You may not fluster your opponent by writing pointless materials constantly.
  • Insulting other players, people is always disallowed in games and also on our site.
  • As there might be some players under the age of 18, no sexual content may be uploaded or shown on the site.
  • No racial or any other discrimination is allowed on our site or in the games. Any behavious like that will be highly penalized.
  • Cheating by any program is highly forbidden. Anyone caught on cheating may be banned for the whole season (at the moderators discretion).
  • Noone may use alias and ask for league games under alias or claim one's Cup or Tourney game under alias. Getting caught with aliasing results banning (at the moderators discretion).
  • Registering double accounts is forbidden, results banning.
  • No graves or teamnames may be used that might confuse the opponent.
  • You can play the same opponent 15 times in the same season in the same league. Report page will give you an error if you try to report more games.
  • The schemes have their own set of rules, which can be found in the description of the official league schemes. They can be found here: https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/?leagues
  • You must use the official schemes found on the schemes page. If you host and use the incorrect scheme without telling them, your opponent has the right to replay the game with the correct scheme.

2) Lag-outs

  • If one player lags out and returns to the given channel, the game should be continued with handicap or restarted.
  • If a game is lagging, do not quit. Quitting means you surrender. If a game lags out, let it lag out.
  • If a player lags out and is not seen online 10 minutes later, then the game is taken care of by the following rules:
  • If it was the first game, then the game should not be reported, rather played at another time.
  • If it was the second game and the loser of the first game was seemingly losing the second game too, it can be reported. At any other occasion the moderators will decide about the outcome of the game, after it is posted to the forum's League Complaints section.
  • Moderators will never decide about the outcome of a game considering the skills of the players. Always the state of the game is what the moderators consider.

3) Quitting

  • Quitting a game before it ends means you forfeit the game. There is only one exception to the rule: if your opponent chose the wrong scheme without informing you. Before you quit, you must point out the scheme is incorrect and that you want to replay the game with the correct scheme.
  • If a player returns to the channel but does not want to continue the game, then the quitting player's opponent automatically wins.
  • Only acceptable way of quitting is if the quitting is reasonable and the quitting player agrees with his/her opponent on playing the game another time.
  • Mostly the moderators will consider the state of the game, the way of the quitting, how the conversation went on and also the number of the game (first or second) and then decide about the outcome of the game(s).
  • Lag-outs and Quittings that could not be solved between the two players must be posted to League Complaints.
  • Intentional Lag-outs, quittings or surrendering in 2vs2 or 3vs3 games (both singles and clanners), in a way that benefits the quitting team are not allowed. In such cases, under the moderators discretion the game will be rematched or a win will be given to the opposite team.

4) Proceeding

  • First, you need to find a partner. Then you decide which kind of league you want to play: Classic or Free. Both of you have to pick one scheme and play those two games. The higher season rating must pick first.
  • Before the first game start, both of you have to tell what your username on the site is. Missing to do this might have your games infirmed.
  • Both players/clans need to agree on the map. If you light up, you agree on the map. Using auto-light up is strictly forbidden. If the opponent picks a non-default sized map without informing you, you can still request a normal sized map at the start of the game and interrupt the game. If the scheme has manual worm placement, you must make the request before the first turn of the game. If the scheme has random worm placement, you must make the request before the second turn of the game.
  • After you finished the games, and the games result is 1-1, you can agree on playing a third game.
  • EVERY GAME MUST BE REPORTED! This means DoN (Double or Nothing) games are highly forbidden!

5) Reporting

  • Winner of a game reports his own game. Losers do not need to confirm anything.
  • The game must be reported within 6 hours after the game was played. Otherwise mods decide to keep the game and correct its order or delete it.
  • Loading up a fake replay is obviously forbidden. Getting caught with this results in banning.
  • Avoiding a player/clan is not allowed. Avoiding is when you look for TUS but refuse to play against a specific opponent and keep looking.
  • If a player is looking for TUS but avoids you, you can post the logs or screenshots to leagues complaint forum and ask for permission to report a free win. If mods agree, you can report a free win and the opponent has one week to play the game. Players must arrange the game in the game/complaint thread.
  • If you want to play only specific schemes, you must make this clear when looking for TUS. For example: "TUS BnG anyone?" or "TUS no Elite anyone?". Openly searching "TUS anyone?" but then refusing to play a specific scheme is considered avoiding. After you have found out the opponent's scheme pick, you must play the game.
  • If a player agrees to play TUS with you and then disappears before asking your scheme pick, you CANNOT report free win.
  • If a player plays your pick, but then disappears at his pick, you CANNOT report free win.
  • If a player plays his pick but then disappears at your pick, you CAN report free win. But even that free win must be played when that player comes back.


6) Playoffs

  • Playoffs are played between the first eight players of the leagues' total stats, and only those get in who played the required minimum games. Playoffs are basically a smaller tourney and the site generates the pairs automatically.
  • You must play at least 80 games in the season to get in to the Playoffs for classic league. (70 games for clans), 50/20 for TEL and TRL and 30/5 for Free league.
  • Each round of the playoffs stand of 5 different picks. The players pick schemes by turns and the higher ranked player has the advantage of picking first.
  • Deadlines are usually posted on the forums by the moderators, based on activity at the moderators discretion.
  • Any player or clan who fails to finish their playoff games and is kicked out will be disqualified from the next playoffs of that league. After that, they are free to qualify again.

Leagues General / What is Analyzer?
« on: December 22, 2008, 01:21 PM »
Leagues Analyzer is originally suggested by pr.

It will analyze your future games, So that you will know what scheme you should pick to gain the most possible points from your opponent, OR maybe lose ? XD

It is very similar to the report page, just choose your opponent and the way your game will be and click on the analyze button.

It will give you all the information about the schemes  :



The yellow numbers are the points being gained or lost.
The left number next to a yellow number is the points before that game (Current points).
the right number is the final points after the game.

Leagues General / How to post comment for an specific game
« on: December 22, 2008, 01:09 PM »
One of TUS features is being a Database for so many things.

Since no replay gets deleted on TUS, I thought it would be nice thing that we could talk about games.
So each game received its own page.

To enter a game page, Simply click on its ID, or you can click on the "number of comments" it has.
If a game has more than a page for comments, some links will appear under the "number of comments" that looks like this :



Which you can go to an specific page by it.

As the recent games page always shows the newest games first, So you may miss a new comment which has been posted. Because it is not like the forum that new posts comes to top. (Because here the games are new posts not their comments  ;) )

To solve this problem, You can sort the games by their "Last Comment", Click on the last comment :



So that it will sort all the games by their last comment time.

Leagues General / Playoffs
« on: November 28, 2008, 04:28 PM »
I say we have 3 playoffs at the end of each season :

Total playoffs
Classic playoffs
Free playoffs

First 8 players in each stats play together in a knockout.
1 game (scheme) for each game.
And site choose that scheme for their games.

What do you think?

Schemes / Schemes explanations, rules ... or submit a new one ;)
« on: November 15, 2008, 09:09 AM »
Hey guys

I want to put an scheme definition. Like how to play it, the rules, its scheme file, an example replay ...

They will be the official TUS schemes (For leagues, tourneys ...). Plus I want to make TUS a place to have all schemes "definitions" like a reference.

Start with the schemes are already in our league.

So schemes are :


Boom Race
Bungee Race
Capture The Flag
Forts
Holy War
Hysteria
Jetpack Race
Parachute Race
Super Sheep Race
Walk For Weapons

If the written names up there won't mind, I want them to do it for that scheme. Other schemes are free to pick.

:)

The full scheme page will be :
1. Scheme explanation
2. Scheme rules
3. Scheme FAQ
4. Scheme replay examples
5. Scheme file

Leagues General / League Points Pattern
« on: November 12, 2008, 06:18 PM »
Points calculation system changed based on ELO formula tuned for TUS.

The base (standard point) to gain or lose is 40. (Same win points like previous, but losing points are now 40 too.)

Points calculation system is now points-base instead of rate-base. But system will just use ranks to "label" your points.

Each 60 points are one rank.
Starting from 1000 (Absolute Beginner) up to 2200 or more (Elite).

The max points someone can gain is 80. Beating a lower skilled player will cause gaining less points than what it was before. So hopefully less noobbashing this time.

Leagues General / How to play league! (How to report?)
« on: November 12, 2008, 11:39 AM »
    How to play

    First find someone to play with! :D
    People normally ask like 'TUS anyone?' or 'TUS default anyone?' in worms channels, mostly in #AnythingGoes.
    At the moment, TUS provides the following leagues:


    Tell your opponent what league you want to play. Both players pick one scheme.
    For example: Player 1 picks WxW and player 2 picks Team17. Players can pick the same scheme.
    The winner of each scheme comes to the site and reports the game.
    For example, if your game result was 1:1, Then you must report the scheme you won.

    Allround league includes Default & Rope ladders. When you play Intermediate, you gain points for both Allround and Default leagues. And when you play Big RR, you gain points for both Allround and Rope leagues.
     - Default ladder: Aerial, BnG, Elite, Hysteria, Intermediate, Team17
     - Rope ladder: Big RR, Roper, TTRR, WxW, Shopper

    The leagues have both season and overall standings. Each season is followed by playoffs. You can find season info HERE.

    How to Report
    Goto the Leagues page, and click on "Report a game" on your action panel.
    OR you can goto your user panel. I have put a direct report link on your user panel.

    In the report page,
    Always select the options from top to bottom, Because by selecting some options, Other elements on the page may change.
     
    Choose how many players took part. Meaning was your game 1vs1, 2vs2 or 3vs3 ? (;D yea you can play 3vs3 games!)

    If your game was a clanner select it in the game style select box. Was it single or Clanner?

    Type in your buddies (If any) and opponents.
    Don't know his name correct spell? no problem at all!

    Just type a part(even 1 character) of his name, no matter where that part is in his/her name.
    For example,  by the letters "io"  :
    System will give me :



    Select the name from there, and you are relief from typing the name :)

    If you have set the game style to clanner, Another field will appear to help you find your buddies and opponents easier.
    In this field, Select your opponent clan. When selecting them, Then buddies field and opponents field will change accordingly.

    For example If you selected your opponents clan, The buddies field will show you only your own clan members and opponents field will show only the opponents clan members.


    Select the scheme that you won.
    *Each player(Team) reports the scheme they have won.

    Select who picked this scheme that you are reporting. Was it your opponent's pick or yours? Or it was both side agreement?  (Like a 3rd game)

    There's 'Free Win' checkbox, if you check this option, You are asking for a free win and you won't need to upload the game replay. We allow free wins in special circumstances. So you better have a good explanation why you are reporting this free win.

    If you dont' check the checkbox, Then it is a normal win and you have to upload your game replay.
    Choose your game replay from your hard drive.
    Why there are more than 1 place for replay uploading?
    If you agreed with your opponent that you play a bo3 game OR somehow you finished your game in 2 or more replays. (Someone crashed or something).
    Upload all the replays.

    *Your game replay is located at: /Worms Folder/user/games/

    The last option is "More games to report".
    If you select yes, The report page won't redirect you to the recent games, Instead you will be redirect again to the report page which you can report other games.
    If you select no, You will be redirected to the recent games page to see your games.

    Click on Report and you are done!

    So to sum up :
    You can play :

    1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3 single games.
    2vs2, 3vs3 Clanners

    Go nuts ;)[/list]

    Leagues General / New schemes in league or ...
    « on: November 01, 2008, 05:32 PM »
    Hey guys

    Here's the first idea about league.
    What schemes really should be in the league? Do you like SSR to be allowed to be picked in league? BungeeRace? Hysteria?

    1st option :
    Including these schemes in our league. (and more schemes)

    2st option:
    Having 2 kind of leagues.
    Maybe one called : Classic League
    Another : Free League  (Freelance ? :D)

    The names says what they are all about.

    TUS Discussion / League or tourney?
    « on: October 29, 2008, 04:00 PM »
    Which part you'd like to come up first in TUS  ?

    TUS foundation codes will be finished in a few days, Whatever this poll goes, I will code that first.
    Cheers!

    TUS Discussion / Site Look (Template)
    « on: October 19, 2008, 02:29 PM »
    As a guest,

    You will see the template of the site changes each time you visit a page.
    The sky changes by the GMT time.

    Those are site default look.

    To change that, (You must be a member)
    Go to your profile, On the left, click on the Forum Profile Information link. (I've put an extra link named "Edit Profile" on your "My Panel". It's direct link to that page.)

    Scroll down this page, You will see "Site Look Options" title.

    Site template style

    It is about the main template of the site.
    Your options are :
       Random : Template changes by each page visit.
       Change everyday : The template changes each day. It's my favorite. Eachday, 1 template.
       The rest are the names of the templates, So that you can set it as your "fixed" template.


    Sky style

    Controls your sky behavior.
    Your options are :
       Change by GMT time : It is site default sky options. It changes by the hours of the day, GMT-Wise.
       Change by my local time : The only difference is the sky changes by your local time, Not GMT.

    To set your local time : In your profile page, under Forum Profile Information, Click on the Look and Layout Preferences link.
    On this page set your TimeOffset. Note that the field requires the number of hours.
    Example :
    For "GMT + 2", type "2".
    For "GMT + 3:30" type "3.5".
    For "GMT - 7:30" type "-7.5"
     
    The rest are the name of a specific sky that won't change by passing times, So that you can set it as your "fixed" sky.

    Clouds part height

    You can adjust the height of the clouds part. Apparently in some screen resolutions, The default height fills 1/3 or 1/2 of the screen, You can now set your desired height.

    Maximum number of clouds

    If you have changed your Clouds part height, Maybe you want to change the maximum number of clouds flying up there too.

    Shoutbox status

    I've noticed Shoutbox has a conflict with the chess part and cause it not to function properly. (For example you can't challenge an specific member.)
    They are written by different programmers.I asked both programmers for a solution, And they told me no solution in the near future.
    So I made this option for chess lovers ;) or the ones who dislike shoutbox at all!
    You can turn off shoutbox in chess pages or turn it off at all!
    Turning shoutbox off at all will improve pages loading speed. (Because shoutbox is always checking for updates...)

    Background transparency
    If you think the transparency of the site is bothering you and you can't read well, Choose "Remove transparency when I put my cursor on an area".
    It will remove the transparency of the areas if you put your mouse cursor on it.
    (Won't work in Internet Explorer 6)

    Pages: 1 ... 16 17 [18] 19
