Schemes Comments / Scheme #3386, Crate War submitted by Crespo
« on: August 27, 2020, 11:59 AM »
Good work, Crespo. I have always been fond of this scheme. It creates interesting situations and helps players to improve their skills with all weapons, including those we rarely use. Although I think I prefer the original Only Crates scheme, your version still gives the good feeling and will hopefully help making the scheme more popular. I have hosted Only Crates many times. A frequent feedback I have received is that we need to be able to move around more easily, such as by adding ropes. Your scheme is more friendly toward players who are either somewhat inexperienced or merely impatient.

When I host the good old scheme Bows and Clusters (BnC), only the most patient souls stay. It is like Only Crates but even without Teleport. We start with only Longbow, Cluster Bomb and usually a few utilities such as Parachute. It was the scheme that enchanted me when I first entered WormNet back in 2003. I still host it with success sometimes, but it seems to be far too slow for modern wormkind.

Files / Re: Worms2 Music for Worms Armageddon
« on: July 24, 2020, 12:40 PM »
Thank you! I missed the good old Worms 2 music. It even makes the game more exciting! I must say I like the higher-quality ambient music from Worms: Armageddon too, except the win and lose music, which sounds toned down.

What method do you use for putting these files into the Streams folder? The folder is located in my ISO image of the CD-ROM, which requires external software to modify. I assume it is not required for the Steam version of the game, for example. I think I will try AnyBurn. A note about this could be good in the instructions. A note about backing up the original files could be good too.

Ah, Worm Olympics! Good memories. I see now that we played a game together in 2014. I wish I always had that donkey against you as in this last round:

Thank you. Yes, I have noticed that some players hate to lose. It makes me feel the game was meaningless. My mommy says people who participate and show positive attitude are the true winners. I must agree. Without them, there would not even have been a tournament.

My brain shut down during round two once the darksiding began, and I could not concentrate properly from there and eventually gave up in the last round. I have seen this happening to others, especially during long matches. My lesson must be to be more prepared and patient and practice more. All the games I won were on simpler maps with nearly only lightsiding, and some luck. Considering that my goal was to win at least one game during the tournament, I can not complain.

I agree about Korydex being good. I had not even heard of him. Perhaps if I practice more and learn some of those darksiding skills and endurance that he portrayed, I will be able to kill more than one of his worms in each round.

Congratulations to Korydex with the victory. Nice tournament, everyone! Keep up the good community.

Please keep my price. Korydex, Tomt, Sensei and T. Penguin are the true medalists, as I see it, for donating and keeping the community alive. Alternatively, you can donate the price to this website.

Thank you, both. I can host, but having the final hosted and attended by the legendary penguin sounds nice.

Dare we commence this grand finale on Friday the 13th at 18 (6 p.m.) GMT?

If Worms: Armageddon dies, what would be the newer Worms game that would be the best replacement for us? How much activity is there online on the newer games?

23
Yahoo, this seems to be going my way!

Korydex, when shall we commence the final?

24
No problem.

Works for me.
