I am curious to hear from you, are you happy with the release of 3.8? Did it meet your expectation? Was it all you hoped for? Could it had been more or less?

CORE is a battle scheme in which player must destroy their enemy's CORE. When the enemy team's CORE is destroyed, you must kill enemy worms. You cannot attack enemy worms during the destruction of their CORE. You are allowed to defend your own CORE with girders.

Rules & Objectives:
1. Destroy enemy Core
2. Kill Enemy Worms
No attacking Enemy Worm until their CORE is dead.
You can attack from Rope or Land.
You can block worms and their paths with girders.

You can download the scheme from this thread here.
You can view the attached replay file too.

Good luck and tell me how it went. I am open for feedback & critique.

Will there be an option in the future to upload 3.8 schemes to tus?

I just tried and it did not work.

I have taken the liberty to experiment with 2 important settings for the ninja rope, which I think is crucial for its role in wide arrange of schemes. One of these settings are ''Rope Speed'' and second ''Projectile Speed''.  I have added extra value to both of these options, it makes the rope more ''speedy'' and ''frantic''. People have tested it and some of them do like it. However they are concerned that ''old schoolers'' won't approve because it would be too easy to rope. Do you agree with this? No one really liked TS, and r+ for rubberworm. But yet I have played with intense rope settings with no problem. I even had a game with a few experienced ropers who decided to quit after a few brief turns because they failed on every level imaginable.

What do you think? Could speedy rope be something or not?

Yeah, I am curious, will you play or be more active when 3.8 gets released?

I tried to host with mobile hotspot (using my mobile data as internet for PC). Game froze for a while, and unfroze with a message that it timed out. Speedtest gave me download of 10mbps, and upload 2mbps. Of course I am using WormNAT2. But is hosting with mobile hotspot impossible with WA? Any fix? I did something wrong?

Thanks.

Great maps Scribe. Good times playing them with you. Thanks!

Also, you will have to make your WxW scheme public. That can be done in your schemes.

I started to think about old messaging software and got nostalgic. I mainly used MSN Messenger that came bundled with Windows XP, and later updated to version 6.2 and so on. I also remember you had to the choice of installing MSN Messenger Plus, which added extra functionality and feature to the main program. It was fun to nudge people, causing their screen to shake, and to invite a bunch of people and to watch the chaos unfold xD

But I was sad when Microsoft killed of Windows Live Messenger, dark times indeed.... But they, we got discord and skype

Some have stated that if you get used to 12 second turn time in ZaR Roper, it would be lucrative to go back to 15s turn time. Do you agree? What's your thoughts?

I personally think that 15 second turn time is laughable, because there's so much extra time to fool around. It literally feels like a warmup before the real deal.

Hi guys.

We have talked a bit about this before, but I am curious to see where you stand on it, and the future of TUS. Could a new look and feel for TUS help accumulate traffic and activity to its league? Or is it just better to leave it as it is?
In my opinion, I think something modern with a fresh design and easy to navigate could help stir up some buzz to TUS. As of now, a newbie's first encounter to this site might feel a bit overwhelming and cumbersome. Perhaps it wasn't an issue back in the days, but we have moved on drastically from those times, at least I have. I had issues myself navigating around this site to begin with, but I feel pretty much comfortable with how things work. Even so, I do not think it is how one should allow themselves to like a site. TUS is also badly designed for mobile phones too. Ok, hold it right there. I know what you might be thinking. That MonkeyIsland didn't do a good job. I am not saying that. I said it was designed for a different time, and now maybe it could be changed to something more accessible for newcomers. We all like to see new blood, right?

This poll is to see what you want to see TUS in the future. It is ultimately up to MonkeyIsland to decide if he wants to use his time and resources to carry out anything that might be decided here. So what do you think?

Hey Sensei

The coming unscheduled update is very big, and 4.0 is said to be significant bigger. So my question is for you, would you buy WA over again if Team17 releases it again with a massive update and potential a new name to?

Due to lack of participants, tournament will open next Friday 24th, 18.30GM, location RopersHeaven. If time and date isn't good for you, please tell me here.

Windows 7 Extended support has ended today January 14th. It got me thinking, what OS are you using? Are you still running Windows 7 or older? If so then why?

So there is a intermediate cup hosted by TOMT, and so far at this time 25 people have joined. This got me thinking ''What do you enjoy playing the most? Is it land scheme such as normal, elite, bng, hysteria etc? Or roper, shopper, wxw, big rr, etc? And why

For me, I prefer rope based scheme because it is fast and fun. Land schemes tend to be slow paced and tedious. Although the latter does not always have to be true. Elite is fun, but Intermediate is slow and dull (Subjectively). Hysteria is fast and frantic and I like that, but can be boring at the end. Then again, land was never my number one choice.

People quit ongoing games everyday so what's the big deal? Well, the big deal is that; In WA people tend to ruin a match by quitting abruptly without providing any detail as to why. This happens to me, where people enter my host room, and quit in the game right after or in a few turns. Later they return as nothing has ever happened so I let them play again, and guess what? They quit again. A vicious cycle that repeats itself. So I try to give them a cool down by banning them for a day, or week. They come again, and the cycle repeats itself. Although, some have redeemed the errors in their way and stopped their cycle (Hopefully).

I quit sometime too, but far in between. Most of the time I give people a reason why, most are pretty understanding.

In the end it can be just a language barrier, age, or just pure trolling. Or something else

Anyway, whats your thoughts?

Hey Sensei. I used your scheme. 

A Norwegian light fire on The Quran book in public. Understandably this action caused uproar among the Muslim community. An Islamic group called for execution of this person who light fire on the holy book. The good news is that the Norwegian police managed to stop the book to be totally burnt. A quick google search will give you more insight on the issue at hand.

Regardless, what do you think of the death penalty? Should it ever be practiced regardless of how serious the atrocity committed by the person(s) at hand?

In Norway, there's ton of organized crime among beggars. Many of whom which are from Romania. They can be overweight, and aggressive when they beg for your money. It makes myself feel uncomfortable and cringy. But what are your thought on handing some cash out to beggars? How does it make you feel? Are you ok with it?  Do you care?  I personally don't.

Is waiting for a begging pun from Sensei. 

Which drugs are most hazardous and addicting for us human and why? Yes there are likely drugs that are way worse than the ones that are in the poll. Still I am curious to know your thoughts on the matter.

The BIG Z RR CUP has now begun! Good luck!
