I think it great that developments and everything are still being made on wa.

As a biased 'classic' old schooler i don't think (would love to be wrong) the 3.8 patch will return the glory league days of wa. In fact it may just create more scheme variations and modifications making the wa community even more divided in terms of what schemes are popular and enjoyed in a competitive league environment.

WA isn't dead, but classic style is?

What are others thoughts on the release of 3.8 in relation to classic and league style?

Please note that this post isn't meant to demotivate DC and CS on their work and really appreciate their efforts to fix a game we all love. I just love classic and competitive games and want to try to get the whole community more into that instead of so many single scheme variations. Perhaps the reason the glory days worked so well was because the leagues were simply based off bng, default and rope and grew from there..

why don't you pick zar roper as classic games? classic has barely had any games since new season started.

f@#! me 10 years went quickly.

Happy birthday TUS and 3 cheers for MI and his unparalleled dedication to this incredible game!

Good to see TUS is still going relatively strong, been lurking and strongly considering playing again.

Don't stop MonkeyIsland!

WA and TUS needs all the help it can get!

Oh, hey mate.
Nice to hear from familiar faces! I don't play very often but still manage to get some games done mostly during weekends.
You need to make a come-back!

Sup NAiL

wow b0r, can't even remember the main UK guy and Beer?

As it stands are we having top 4 from singles do playoffs. (new rules not determined yet so still with 1st seed picks first) and we could have clanner playoffs of sx vs tdc as both have over 50% and enough games?

Thanks guys. Some days are horrible. I'm slowly learning which foods I can and cannot consume. It gets REALLY tiresome shitting blood too.

my partners mum can't eat things like popcorn, sweetcorn, nothing with skin (tomatoes skins), nuts etc. You'll work out what you can and can't eat should slowly start to recover. All the best

Yeah the minimum distance rule was replaced with "stay on your half of the map" last year (announcement).

i think that rule should be removed as being able to go behind someone combats middle hides and also creates interest when someone can bank.

Like this game for example it allowed Warlus to go behind me onto the side i was on and helped turn the game in his favour.

No rules were broken in this match as komodo stated, i was just commenting on a style of play, but the distance/side rule is better than the current rule IMO

i do think its an interesting idea to try and crowdsource money to fund a remastered version of WA. The biggest challenge will be getting T17 onboard so that they could see a return on investment for the money that would be put in the game, even if its not their money, they'd need some percentage of profit on the rights as own the trademark on WA.

Nothing is impossible and worms is still a strong brand that nearly everyone knows and remembers, there just needs to be a profitable business case for T17 to be the slightest bit interested.

all the best skunk. My partners mum has Crohns'. There is light at the end of the tunnel, don't worry! Rest well and some drastic changes to diet can help but get the medical attention you require now.

i always wondered this as well!

pretty offensive.

But let him play tus games and maybe lift the ban if its being so long now?

Rolling 4secs

btw its not against rules to teleport behind a worm in bng. Its against rules to teleport within the illegal distance to a worm around a third of the scheme. Is this reflected in tus rules?

I don't recall this. I come onto WA once I've helped with kids and around the house a bit.. an annoyed other half doesn't isn't much fun to be around!

Players can pick
2 of BnG, Hysteria, Aerial
2 of Elite, Intermediate, Team17, Shopper
2 of TTRR, Roper, WxW, Big RR

For example, if you pick Elite and your opponent picks Shopper, you can't pick Intermediate or Team17 anymore.

I think it has to either be this system you propose.. or first seed picks first and bo5 out of all available schemes.

My only disagreement with your scheme pool is that shopper isn't anywhere near as strategic as elite, inter and t17. Shopper is a rope based scheme in my opinion that requires pure consistency and attacking every turn with knowledge of a mix of weapons to win. Against a good shopper player you both players never miss a turn.. also shopper shouldn't have unlimited zooks and should no bullshit cr8s like fp or db..

however, a lot of strong ropers would hate that because a good default player could pick shopper on purpose to use up a 'rope based' pick and stop opponent picking wxw, rr and roper..

thats actually what i used to do in single playoffs in some leagues! 

come look for tus and try and win POs!
