"Host cups less talk", what has hosting cups changed in Classic really other than amount of girder in T17, and there was no need for cup for that change, as far as I rememeber.

how else r u going to get people to try ur new scheme then?

u host a cup with ur new scheme idea, ppl like it. maybe 1 season in trl, ppl like it some more. maybe enough players like it enough for it to make changes for bng in classic

If your talking about introducing a whole new scheme to Classic, then yeah cups and trl is a working solution, but when talking about improving +10 year old classic schemes, we really don't need to host cup after cup with different rule tweaking to know how the scheme affects luck/skill balance. My solution is to have a council that consists of very experienced players who are also "smart thinkers" and they simply force a rule. Way more effective and saves time. Whatever rule is forced, there is going to be opposition anyways so let a council make the decisions imo. No need for cups (when it comes to simple rules discussions or scheme tweaks) and we could actually see changes happen wayyyy more effectively.

More down angle on the patsy and gg. :/

cFc had the best tactic to come out and win, pick schemes with most luck factor to have a chance to win (wxw is questionable as the map was hard enough imo) and this time it worked. Honestly it was a well planned out tactic and cFc deserves a big applaud of ending dt's championship streak.

Couldnt find it anywhere. I hope it didnt get lost when the last forum was deleted. :O

So we got MI's approval to make a promo page for the beginners and Bonhert agreed to code it but needs a designer.

Who's up?

And thanks to MI and Bonhert!

Let's start with that list first (if you find another ones, do share), find a good forum to post thread about WA, about the upcoming stream, add few cool videos and then copy-paste that template to as many forums as you have the energy for, then follow up the thread day before and hit it up again the same day the stream is happening so the topic stays as top as possible.

Post the forum here where you posted so we don't multi-spam.

I'm busy for the few next hours but after that it's all business.

Someone could actually just make a good general template introduction thread and paste it here, then everyone can just copy-paste it and make it really simple, bookmark the forums you posted a thread to and follow up. All it takes is the registration process (if needed), and a simple follow up and we could easily hit thousands of viewers and add to "audience" base.

Make the thread look like its general streaming info about Worms Armageddon streams, so you dont have to post another thread everytime a big stream is coming up, you can just use the same thread and bump it up with another stream and date.

The one who puts most effort in gets a special prize.

I've made a general streaming post in 3 finnish gaming forums so far titled like this "Worms Armageddon Live-Streams" where I explain what Worms Armageddon is all about how pro and awesome game it can be, that we patch it still and have active league etc etc., add a few cool videos so they really get the picture. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE THE STREAM LINK!!!

I've been using http://wormtube.worms2d.info/109/the_costage_2 for default video (you can choose the best you want though)
And then some roping video like http://wormtube.worms2d.info/66/in_the_matrix (use what you see as best)

Then I explain them I'm gonna use this thread to inform about general upcoming cool streams so everyone who want's can participate and talk about the current big stream event happening AND INCLUDE DATE/TIME (which is chuvash vs kayz atm) and after I'm done with my enthusiastic post, I'll tell that I will inform them some time earlier  before the event actually takes place so most of the are able to ge the message soon enough. Depending when you post about the stream originally, I think it's good to announce them about it at least 1 day ahead and definately the same day it takes place. It depends how active the forum is, if your post stays close to the top of the forum, don't spam too much but if there's much action, try to keep it as close to the top as possible without sounding too annoying. Usually people ask questions and then you can pick and choose when you decide to bring the top to the post by replying to a question.

Ok so now that's out of the question, I'd like everyone to make a post on popular gaming forums / forums that have gaming as sub-forum that they know of and then inform here on how many forums did you actually post (I will take notice of hard work).

Tip: make a general template that you can just easily copy-paste to the forums so it really won't be a much of trouble and remember to re-bring the topic up at least 1 day prior to the event (depending on the forum activity, and especially on the same day.

Currently I've posted on 3 biggest gaming forums in Finland that I know of. I'm gonna look for more big forums later on.

When someone makes a great english template of the forum post, please share it here so others can use it also if they post on english gaming forums.

Don't make the thread just about 1 event, try to make it as a general thread where you will inform about upcoming cool events. Makes things a lot simpler for you, others and forum won't see you as spammer.

Thanks all, I think nice number would be to hit 1000, but it could be wayyyyyyy more, depends on you guys!

Someone suggested this idea on other thread and this is exactly the kind of "personal" side I want to bring to the table.

We take a handful of noobs who are motivated and willing to invest time into learning the game and then we follow their journey via streams, how he learns, league performance and even personal youtube videos. If MI agrees to the newbie league without us having to make an outside league, it would be even more perfect.

This sound like a good idea to you guys? I really like this idea and would be motivated to help those newbies out as much as I can. Teacher can learn a lot himself also by teaching a newbie.

Once we agree on the idea and the approach, we should spam the internets with the upcoming awesome promotion video and stream channel and get a line of newbies under our wings. Everyone could have their own apprentices and all the good stuff.

Is there anyone here already who feels he's a newbie and willing to go pro and agree that we could track and record his/her journey to the top. It makes an example to the bigger audience that everyone can do it, even if there are people who have been playing this game for years and years. Once you learn the weapon skills and roping, it's all about tactics, creativity and your mental strenght.

You can either send a PM to me if you feel shy about it or got some personal questions, otherwise just let yourself be heard on this thread.

There will be bigger spam once we get the vision together but we can already get started on it now. Give a shoutout if you want to go PRO and want guidance.

I did this with my little brother Neptune and he learned amazingly fast.
