It would be nice if more than 7 players could join the host of a match. In important games, it is common not to have space for everyone who wants to spectate the game. That way, the players' friends, curious people and also various streamers could join the game.

Congratulations on your victory, ZorroX!

PS: about this little frustration in the picks I did not understand. Hurz chose a scheme that he is pro (kaos) and ZorroX chose a scheme that he is pro (mole), right!? So everything is fine.
But I understand the frustration of those who don't want to see a massacre but a more disputed match. I don't like that aspect of the PO very much. Maybe players could agree not to choose schemes where the skill gap is huge. But Hurz picked a scheme in which he is pro so ZorroX did the same in his pick.

That wkorder thing is cheating af.

pff... it's not cheating if both players agree (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/leagues-general/using-wormkit-modules-in-leagues-33659/).

TheWalrus and blitzed, please send me a private message here on TUS when you guys are ready to play.

I would like to ask that at least the player has the right to choose DC scheme in their T17 picks. The league's official scheme, with all due respect, has some very bad aspects.

Yes! All rounds were pretty close!

Komito said that "Albus came out of nowhere and laid the smack down on Mega'Adnan". I would like to ask Komito to stop saying this kind of thing. It's not respectful.

Right. I asked because my english is not very good (I need to use google translator, which takes some time) and I thought it would be enough, for example, to give the page link in worms2d. It would be more practical, faster, and players would have access to more accurate information than I'm trying to explain. Then the players could read the most up-to-date information about the module and say yes or no. I could use a macro like this for every match: I use modules X (link to worms2d page), Y (link to worms2d page), Z (link to worms2d page). Are you against me using any of them?

Players just need to inform that they are using a certain module avaible on worms2d.info or do they need to detail all the features of the module?

The decision and posture I expected. Very good!

If you're in doubt about a module, you can always send me a PM.

We can ask here too, right!? It's good because it can eliminate doubt from other people also regarding new modules that come up.

PS₁: if I can make a suggestion, I think should also be informed about wkRemapKeys. Not all players, especially the new ones, know about the existence of modules or this one in particular. wkRemapKeys, in my opinion, makes the mechanics of certain schemes much easier.
PS₂: I would also suggest that the player inform not only the use modules, but also softwares (https://worms2d.info/Software), like the Water Color Editor (allow you to see transparent water), TeamED (allow to create team with repeated/blank worm names) etc. For example, I've heard of people who use transparent water and think that this is allowed.

Yesterday, in a conversation in discord with Zorro, he explained to me the reasons for not liking the module. I made a commitment to him not to use the module when playing against him, just as I made a commitment not to use visual aid against Rafka, as he recently said he thinks it's unfair and prefers me not to use visual aids. Dario could have done the same, but he preferred to say he didn't believe me and make public what happened between us.

However, I repeat the importance of explicit rules regarding not only wkWormOrder but other things that, in my view, offer much greater advantages in the game and there is nothing prohibiting it, and people do it with a clear conscience. It is not a question of entering into the merits of being something that can be detected or not, but of elaborating rules that at least create moral duty in people.

Like I said, you can have your own opinions about what happened (whether it's an advantage or not, and whether Dario was fair with me or not). But calling me a cheater in public is slander. In my opinion (this debate is very subjective) people do much worse things in the game that aren't banned. If you compare what I've done to these other advantages, it becomes infinitely irrelevant.

I've been saying publicly that I use this module¹ and I've been asking for rules to be created about the use of wkWormOrder and nobody does anything about it. So is using something that is not expressly prohibited a reason to slander me?

Many people say that wkRemapKeys can be considered cheating. But there is no rule prohibiting the use of wkRemapKeys. If I agree with these people, do I have the right to publicly attack specific people who use this and call them cheaters and dishonest? I think not and I never did that to anyone regarding any module/software avaible on worms2d.info. The most I can do is, in private, talk to this person, and say I don't like a certain thing, and ask them not to use it when they play with me. That's what Rafka recently asked to me. When he knew that I use visual aid in intermediate, he said that he don't consider it a fair practice and asked me not to use it when playing against him.

1 One of the countless times I've publicly said that I use the module:

I really enjoyed playing "ZaR: Zook and Rope". The mines and playing w/o parachute (the risky involved) adds some extra emotion to the scheme.

This is the kind of stuff tus forums needs right now, keep it going ladss

agree :/ ..

Sorry. But I wanted to detail here all my opinion about it in order to prevent other people from creating bias towards me. If, after understanding everything that happened, the person concludes that I am a cheater, that is their right, but I want to detail here all my opinion about it and say what happened.

Some people is calling me cheater and implying that I'm dishonest because I used wkWormOrder (https://worms2d.info/WkWormOrder) against Dario. Here at TUS, I played two games against him using this module:

https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/game-228588/msg281661/?topicseen#new

https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/game-228585/msg281658/?topicseen#new



At the time I used this module when I played against him, there was no express rule prohibiting its use. Later, in TUS, a rule was created saying that if you use this module, you need to inform your opponent that you are using it (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/leagues-general/using-wormkit-modules-in-leagues-33659/). Dario, as he himself said, knew that I was using the module, however he said that he supposedly didn't know that the module allowed me to know the sequence of my own team.

I have attached below the conversation log of two matches where I played against him and used the module. In the first log file, you can see that I had already alerted him that I have the module installed and asked for authorization to use it against him. In the second log file he says he doesn't trust me anymore because I hadn't alerted him to a particular function of this module that he supposedly didn't know.

2021-09-14 00.41.18 - #AnythingGoes - TUS or ONL league n1_ - Albus.log
2021-09-21 17.21.09 - #AnythingGoes - Albus - Albus.log

In these log files, you can see that he said the following:

Quote[2021-09-21 17.23.48] [NNNxDario] you played ONL with me without notifying me of that already

His behavior was very strange because he already started accusing me apparently without any proof.

I didn't act in bad faith. The module was discussed publicly in several places¹ and Dario knew the existence of the module (he participated in some discussions about the module) and I assumed he knew about all the module's features. There was no rule prohibiting the use of the module and it still doesn't exist until today, and that's why i use it.

I want to open a short parenthesis here. I played ONL league for many years (http://www.normalnonoobs.com/userinfo/Albus), always looking to bring new players into the league². I also participated a lot in their forum (http://www.normalnonoobs.com/forum/), sharing guides and information to help new players. I suggested the creation of the ONL discord channel which also helped a lot in the league's activity. I don't understand why he thinks I, a person so committed to their league for years, tried to deceive him and why he thinks I'm a liar. In fact, I think that this attitude he had with me is very unfair, thinking these things about me and even divulging what happened between us to other people. If he thought what happened was unfair, he could ask me not to use it again, and delete the ONL games (since he's an admin there) or ask MI to delete the TUS games. But for some reason, it was important for him to talk about that in public.

Many people use programs to count weapons used by the enemy, rulers to measure kamikaze distance and get maximum damage, wkRemapKeys to make the mechanics of some schemes easier, and none of this is prohibited. What I did, compared to these things, is infinitely irrelevant.

Some things that for others are cheating, Dario does, but I don't see anyone addressing him in the same way. Why just against me these accusations?











The function to zoom in on the game, using the Windows Magnifying Glass (which chicken says it's cheating - https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/wormkit-modules/(module-idea)-option-to-zoom-or-change-resolution-during-the-game-33605), who discovered and spoke to me for the first time was Dario. I didn't even know this was possible. Now I ask: the players, including him, say everything they use to the opponent (visual aids etc.)?

I think there is some persecution from certain people against me. See what chicken said about transparent water:



I had given him some names of people who used transparent water (and maybe still do), however, he showed no interest in calling these people cheaters in public (or at least talk about it in public) the way he does to me. So, apparently, it looks like this persecution against me is malicious. By the way, if he asked me not to play using the module I wouldn't use it. This slander campaign against me was not necessary either.
