Dear all,

We need one more team as well as a teammate for @Zalo in order to start this cup.

Any volunteers? @Deadcode, @Komo, @Kins, @Albino, @trentemoller, @Danger, @Mai, @Stoner?

I'd team up with somebody.

Approved! Good luck 😊

Some macros are just harmless though. I remember I used this "T" pressing macro for worm thinking bubble in a couple of TUS TTRR matches vs Random00 and I was instantly crucified by that + Rope script that ignores 2nd press and makes FR easier. In that moment of history people were just witch hunting me because it was too much to deal with that a newcomer kid used to beat Random00 in TTRR lol. I was just a kid with zero english skills to defend myself. Just a small trash of TUS/Worms history that haunts me sometimes.

Truth is, that script doesn't make anyone better, fast taps doesn't matter too.  It was never about the script, but who were the loser in that moment of the history + Nowadays pretty much every freestyler rope player use rope scripts and they suck when it comes to competitive worms. It never mattered.

cheaters are cheaters, and they are the real and biggest losers in the "history" of something, if there is history behind all this in the first place.. : P fast tappers with scripts is an example like this. there has always been a big turn-off for me in WA communities and here on TUS site. if there is a player who gets busted using cheats IN ANY online competitive games or in speedrunning, those players usually gets outcasted like trash and treated as a piece of shit by everyone else. just take a look at how they treat players who gets taken down cheating in CS:GO or LoL. or speedrunning in GTA San Andreas or anything. they get bullied until they disappear. and what happens here in this funny little cartoon worms game? these cheater trash noobs are still around here, throwing insults, barking at other players out of jealousy and still playing the game until now.

an example: https://www.tus-wa.com/challenges/challenge-637/msg244620/#msg244620

this boy was a known cheater in the past anyway, I saw on multiple platforms and sites that he was known to players for using various cheats/scripts. he is still around, and when I legit call another cheater (not him) a cheater, he gets butthurt and starts barking to me on this site every single time, which the admin lets him to do so, and my comments usually disappear for pointing this out so. this WOULD NEVER HAPPEN in another online game which has healthy normal-minded adult people, cheaters get taken out of society here noob cheaters can do their business and keep on playin the leagues. well fine, I knew this from day 1, and still remained here playing everyone equally and tolerating their shits with patience (: this example was just 1 example of the many.. there are a few more around cheating freely without anyone looking into them, and the rest are gone from WA fortunately. I saw an occasion where a player got banned instantly in the past and she was not even cheating ever. (Natalia) If there is a proof or there HAS EVER BEEN A PROOF about it, I wanna see it. because 100% sure she was never a cheater. so this community to me has always been a big pile of mess mostly.

if you are not able to play an online game good NATURALLY, and enjoy the game as it is, then just gtfo and don't turn to scripts, cheats, and overall helping tools that aids you in winning. I would be very ashamed of myself if I was doing something like that, and I still beat top players without using scripts, while they were using them occasionally.

and to me its extra funny that certain people call Marcello here a "wannabe cheater" for wanting to use an option which reselects you the previous weapon inf times if that was a big f@#!ing thing.. tell me, in which scheme exactly could he get an unfair advantage over you for using such a module? in the league, there is no such a scheme. 1 scheme comes to my mind which could be abused with such a tool and its supermarket shopper (kaos shopper) which lets admit, is not a busy scheme nowadays..

my comment was not adressed to you specifically Kaleu ^.- only your comment made me think about writing a rant of all this : ]

I'm not sure if my consistency will improve within the 10 days left, but I'm going to try my best!

My current record at 186s was roping normal though(left hand on spacebar and right hand on arrows) I'm more consistent but slower at certain moves. I used TA to finish that turn where I made the mistake and got 177s, however that's before I realized you can finish your worm on the ground before finish! So I could have got 176 if I knew that.

Now I'm roping invert(using WASD with left hand and right hand on spacebar) as I'm much faster this way, though even more inconsistent! I can get between 170 and 175 if I can do every move without fail and make zero mistakes, I'm thinking even sub 170!

That's a very fast time by RopeGPTv1 but we can definitely go faster! If you watch his replay and pause it at exactly 10 seconds in, I can get to that point at about 8.80 seconds when I nail the start flawlessly as I discovered a more optimized start last night while streaming.

My first "major split", which is the point where I know I'm on a 170 pace time is the point in his run where he connects the rope at 52.54 seconds, I've managed to get there once at 51.30 seconds however that was before I discovered the faster starting method which saved a second. So I'm sure a flawless run could make it to that connection at 49-50 seconds.

I'm waiting for Deadcode to see if he can make up a TA build where you can use WASD instead of arrows to test this theory.

First of all, thanks for the information and details. Now it's more clear what happened with the website, etc. Second of all, good to know people are planning to revive WO. Third of all, my opinion about this:

I think the new website must receive a new name. I think that if the administration will be different, the interface will be different, and the point system will be different (I hope so), it shodn't be called just "Worm Olympics". The original WO had its life, it is the end of a cycle and now we are beginning a new cycle.

So, I really expect improvements and not just make the same thing again to feed the nostalgia of conservative players. This being said, I think: if the idea is to make significative changes to the system, the website, the format, it should receive a completely new name.

If the idea is to keep almost everything as it was, but change some details, it should be called "Worm Olympics Revisited", "WO New Edition", "WO Lives", "WO Gourmet" or whatever the name.

If the idea is to keep everything exactly as it was, I think it can keep the same name: WO. So, it would be like a band that after decades reunited again and released a new album. Even so, that new album may have been created by exactly the same people, but due to the time gap, these members are already completely different compared to the early years of the band, and, it will not be the same thing, even if they preserve the characteristics of the sound of the band, the core elements of the first albums. I think it's more interesting to create something new, accepting that the time passed and now the times are different. The community is different. So, if this band will reunite, I expect it to make a new sonority that doesn't cut its roots, but brings a more mature vibe and feelings.
