Yeah, "freedom of speech" is impossible, and usually whenever I see anybody get obsessed with being against "censorship" and promoting "freedom of speech" it's usually related to something malicious or actual hatred.
Well that's your opinion of course. I stand completely opposite here. People who advocates for censorship are usual evil people.

The question is, what do you want to censor? What words and phrases do you want to be censored? And who? Is it a person who has expressed their opinion on a political and Ideological belief? Someone who doesn't align with your world view? Someone who uses words that YOU find offensive? Or perhaps you want to censor and ban your everyday troll who purses Innocent players and disrupts their everyday activity here on WA? I don't think this is enough reason alone to commit any actions against. The perpetrators take responsibility when they commit atrocities in our society. We as a society here on WA and as such we should also take responsibility individually of our action. In real life, these people would be serious hurt though.

Sob stories, and emotional blackmail should not be catalyst for censorship.- Censorship and bans should be very limited, to a small group of people: Pedophiles and Terrorists. But to ban someone who called you out for whatever reason? Or to ban someone you had a random dispute about whatever? No way. If someone said something you don't like, get over it, it is life. We are not a nanny nor a police state, and we shouldn't be. All good people normally don't associate themselves with toxic people. You just have to use common sense and avoid the trash that is out there. This is why I think filter option would be great for WA.

You should not obsess about a random Insult given by a random person online. Because that random person doesn't mean anything to your life. Only the people you made good friends with. These are the people that matters, their words matter more than a random person's words.

you know what's tyranny? forcing most people to deal with impersonators, spammers, people like Rafal. at some point there was a group of argentinians playing this game, they even promoted a chilean hate youtube channel where they basically praised any event where chileans were killed, including earthquakes. if "freedom of speech" means i have to deal with people like these then i'm not quite sure if i agree with it.
That's both disgusting and horrible, I think most people can agree to that. Freedom of speech imo, should be punished by Individual pursuit, not by police state apparatus. Because once you set a rule, you have stifled free speech, and eventually you or anybody else could be motivated to propose to move the goal post even further by adding more rules. Eventually people will be walking on eggshells, because they would not know what constitute an acceptable speech, and opinion. I don't think we would want such society. We may already be feeling it outside of Worms.

You may disagree to the most heinous of opinion, but you have the power to Ignore it, or fight it.

It's not a surprise that toxic people don't like censorship lol.
Free speech does also have hate speech in it.

Bad idea IMO, people who can't cope with a few no-no words on a computer screen are the ones who create a toxic environment is what we all should have learned these last few years. If you're gonna start banning people from playing WA because they said something whoever the moderator is finds offensive, I think we're gonna lose a lot of wormers, entirely possible I could be banned too, after 20 years of playing. It always begins with the magic words "racism", "homophobia", w/e stuff like that. Before you know it you get banned for "misgendering" some tranny.
Add the option to mute anyone you want in WormNet, problem solved IMO.
I agree with this 100%. We have enough censorship elsewhere in the world, there is no need to bring that police state to Worms Armageddon. People who advocate for censorship don't love free speech.

If you don't like someone, their values and opinions, you can Ignore and avoid them. WormNET should have filters though. I have a large list of toxic player I have on my personal Ignore list. If I was admin on WormNET, I would not ban them. We should not even encourage this as well. People with common sense would know who to avoid and I would suspect most people on WormNET have common sense. Only the minority are the losing party if we Ignore them. Otherwise we will have people who calls for extreme policies to be made because of the bad actors, who are the minority.

Who in their right mind would play Worms Armageddon on a projector and use a ruler to measure stuff?

 That's some next level shit.

One day you will have AI to measure everything for you. But for now you can probably look into floating ruler for Windows.

Imagine we all having a good time together in a large common room with music, where we would play billiard, card games, and whatever else, plus we would maybe have us a beer. I would say something ''presumably funny'' to counter someone's lines. People might laugh, chuckle, or just brush it off like its nothing. Then suddenly out of the blue FoxHound would step into the room, the music scratches off, lights go down, a dark ora fills the room. FoxHound would ''I assume Kradie has not read this and that. He does not understand this and that.'' He would continue with a lengthy lecturing monologue, where people would cringe and facepalm too. Someone in the backroom would cheer and fist their supportive fist in the air in the background ''YEAH!'' like that ''Yeah'' guy in the movie Trading Places. When FoxHound is done talking, the party is over, and everybody goes to bed feeling unwell.

:D

I was being funny, minded my own business and had a good time. Then FoxHound came to bust up the party, where he dried the joy with sand, assumptions and lectures. Now this thread is way overdue. Fantastic!

I wonder if Kradie did read 1984 or he's just posting catchy pop sentences from stupid internet blogs/websites.

Not sure what he is trying to say with this sentence in this context, because I'm not reading all the full discussions of TUS anymore, I feel that it's a waste of time most of the things I see here.

There is no Big Brother watching us here, only MonkeyIsland. MonkeyIsland makes a decent moderation here, allowing a lot of freedom of speech, different from the book's reality.
SIGH.............................

Though absolutely I will never stop fighting against lies and misinformation, regardless who it is or how powerful or influential they are, I'd rather die than accept lies.

Leagues General / Re: Suggestions for next TRL Season Schemes!

Quote from: TheKomodo on April 02, 2024, 04:01 PM
If two or more schemes end up having the same amount of votes then either I'll just pick one(since I'm paying for the prizes it's nice to have that extra vote lol) or MonkeyIsland and the other moderators of TUS can decide if I can't come to a good decision...

I'm honestly not that bothered about which schemes people play, I just want to see as many people play and play to the best of their ability so my bias there might be whichever schemes I think is most popular and has a higher skill level generally speaking.

Though, IF those 2 schemes that are tied, one of them has already been picked before, the one which hasn't been picked yet will take priority.

If anyone has a better suggestion, I'm all ears/eyes.


So far we have:

ARTILLERY:

HYSTERIA
BOOM RACE
NrBnG K
BnG

-------------

PHYSICAL:

DARTS
MINE MADNESS
SUPERSHEEPER
Roper

-----------------

STRATEGY:

ABNORMAL
ONE OF EVERYTHING
80hp
Intermediate
Kaos
ZARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Which variation of BnG? Normal TUS?

Which variation of Kaos? The scheme on TUS or the scheme used in Kaos League?

Oh, sure, you don't need to pick every category, but only ONE per category, so ZaR Roper is fine if that's all you want.

Sure you can disagree, but that's the way it's staying. You vote for what you genuinely want, not being influenced by other people.

If they vote for a more "realistic" option, then that's their fault for doing that. You can VERY easily, just not do that.

Oh, I didn't expect that polite and neutral response. Thanks. ;D

Sure go ahead, add ZaR.

You've got 2 artillery picks there - Boom Race and Hysteria.

You need to pick:

1 Artillery / 1 Physical / 1 Strategic
Why do you NEED to? Is one pick not enough? Just asking questions, nothing more.

I pick ZaR Roper. But I don't think it will be added.
