Right, holidays are over, so this is your final week!

I want to be able to see whether you've tried or not now (sorry, but it seems necessary in order to get games played)

In case no games are played, I'm going to make these decisions:

Group 1: Almost no games played! It seems I'll have to have a lottery here to decide the winner. Crash has won his one game, so he seems a favourite to go through.
Group 4: TenoriTaiga is out of the cup if he doesn't play

Regardless of posts, I suggest that people get to WN saturday 7:00 PM GMT to get their games played.

If you are certain you can't get on WN at that time, then please post a different time for your opponent.

Don't be so sure!
Cueshark has informed me that winning this edition of showcase is more difficult than the first time around :)

Update: 19 participants!

Cueshark has started making it already :) If anyone else still wishes to send in their replays, you're gonna have to hurry!

Excellent show to those who sent in their replays :)

ye, dibz and crazy we need play our games!

You guys need to realise that posts such as these are no longer enough. I wanna see proof of you doing your best to arrange your games. That means setting times! The site has a PM system for a reason. I suggest urge you to use it.

Yeah naturally i said "some good tourns take from 20 to 30seconds"........ anyway look at this example, good turn but whole 30s:)
Of course some moves are shorter but most of them is at least +10 seconds,unfortunately(imo) best of them are 'very long'.

Absolutely gorgeous turn, but do we really need to see him jumping/walking down towards that worm?
At any rate, you don't need 6 different sections to stand a chance :)
TSR had by far the most shots and also the lowest score on the first one. Wyv on the other hand only had 3 shots there and a pretty high score

Koras: most of those 30 seconds are filled with walking towards your target though and therefore not very spectacular :)

These are the best moves of one year Open Intermediate League and when you say they're not spectacular then Intermediate players have nothing to add here.  ::)

Perhaps you should include right after that ::) it drastically changes the way the first sentence should be interpreted. There's no need to include entire turns, just the parts of said turns that matter. Walking towards your target is not necessary.

Flori: nope, 40 seconds is too long. However, you don't have to have entire turns to be in your showcase section :) You can limit the parts you want shown to just parts of your turns so you can have more things added.

PiNK: Yeah, that's what I used too way back :) It was the sole reason for me having wk, too.

Ray: while you're playing and something awesome happens, you press ctrl-F12 and Replayshark will create a copy of the replay of the game you're currently in. The filename will also have times in them; the time in the filename is 30 seconds *before* you pressed ctrl-F12 (the dir is User/Replayshark)

Koras: most of those 30 seconds are filled with walking towards your target though and therefore not very spectacular :) There's no need to include the entire turn!

MonkeyIsland: what Ray said! (Jessica being Cueshark Jr.)

TUS Discussion / Re: Fair play?
« on: January 02, 2010, 10:17 AM »
If you look at the replay with Taz, though, you will see that FaD is very much aware of the concept of fair play and the rules following them, yet simply refuses to abide by them.
Like chakkman said, bungeerace is a game of courtesy and the rules (even though not written down) are common knowledge among bungeeracers. A sense of fair play is required to make this game work.

In how much detail must we go with the rules if some people are simply determined to break any rule not written down? Bring in the lawyers!

There was another fine example at the worm olympics (I realise it's not TUS, but I'm seeing this as a trend) where 2 players were in a bungeerace on a map where you could drown. Player 1 drowned very close to the finish and started over. Mind you that he was allowed to teleport to the place where he was before drowning! He just didn't know.
However, when player 2 drowned at the same jump, he did teleport to his previous spot.

Common courtesy is what made this game survive for this long, so I don't want it to disappear like this

I for one, will not be a part of TUS any more if mods/admins don't take a stand against this kind of behaviour.

So what's it gonna be?

I don't know what exactly you were trying to say or should I read too much in your line? However I do not like threatening or such lines. Because it makes things even worse. You can't put 'TUS staff' under pressure to decide something, because for one thing, it will also teach other people: 'Put us under pressure and get what you want'. It won't work here.

Hi! :)

Well, first to get things out of your way; I'm just another player here, so I don't have anything to threaten/blackmail/whatever you with anyway. I certainly didn't mean that comment to be read as such.
From my time at fb, I also know that putting mods under pressure a) achieves nothing and b) only pisses off mods/admins. So if you did interpret my post as aggressive towards you, please accept my apologee. It was not directed at you, but rather at the kind of behaviour displayed above. And thanks for still responding in such a calm manner despite the tone of my post. I'll try to tone it down :)
That said, I didn't ask for any demands either (my reply to pr may have been an overreaction from my part, granted), but rather wanted to raise awareness amongst the staff of this kind of behaviour.

Since you've focused on Cups more than anyone else and you have many experiences as you mentioned I'd like to offer you to be a global mod on cups of course if you care about improving TUS and you think you can handle it.

What's the function of global mods in cups? Do they act only when the regular mods are involved in a complaint or something? I don't want to overstep my boundries and I certainly wouldn't/won't handle any complaints I'm personally involved in (for possible lack of objectivity)

Again, my apologies for the tone of the first post and thanks for the swift response

edit: @ Rok: download the file I added in my post. That's a selection of games in just 2 cups.
Again, I'm not asking for any punishment or what not for the things that have already happened as they have been resolved already.

well, current complaints have been handled so far, but there's a saying in medicine: ubi pus, evacuat
