But you could suck a little more, guys!

We're 4 months in, and so far, only 28 replays (2 of which have already been labeled unexceptional or disqualified) have been submitted for WSE. I'm sure there are a couple of truly awful turns that haven't been submitted yet.
Please don't forget to submit them, though! Your replay might live on for eternity and if everybody submits their great fails, it's more to enjoy for everybody.

Thank you, sir Editing the intro to the final part was especially fun to do.
Helps to have a plethora of replays to choose from, too

Darkone, can you please answer my question in original post??

I hadn't read the thread until Peja pointed this out to me

I don't have access to FB, sorry

ahhh, knew komo would find a debate, even in a worms movie thread!!!

Not so much a debate as a correction, but I, for one, am glad he did it I don't like being wrong, but without correction, I'll only continue to be wrong and that sucks more.

Glad you liked it, avi. Your criticism (fair criticism, mind) on my first video pushed me to get better at this.

OoO stll lurks on the IRC channel, he was a good sport about me blatantly stealing his planning mode idea

Agreed, Tomi! We need more editors to get shit done, I don't think we had any new vids last year.

It's also on Wormtube now

Thanks for that, OutofOrder!

Stole my line!

It actually is James, but I'm an idiot

JohnJames, can't wait to see what you might have cooking! As general tips, I'd start thinking of a theme of the video (if you even want one), then first pick your music and then pick your replays to fit that music.
I made this with sony vegas, so if you're using that, I can give you more useful tips than just general advice.

@TheMadCharles: So you know you have them and you know where to find them, but you still want me to send them? I somehow doubt you'll make use of the files and actually do something with them if you can't even be bothered to look them up yourself. If you don't know the specific directory in W:A, a simple ctrl-F would've made it a lot simpler, too.

Also would've been less effort than making these 2 posts 

I've updated the link, cause now the sound works in the intro of section 1.

Thanks for all the positive reponses so far

The SfX and sound banks were all gathered from the W:A game files, which you can find in that folder on your hard drive, Charles. The ones that weren't there were mentioned in the credits.

And apparently, sony vegas had a dumb moment again, cutting out music in the intro. I'll get to fixing that.

lol clickbait

So a couple of years ago, TdC decided that they wanted to have a clan movie. It took quite a long time, but we finally got around to making this (well, I did, anyway)! Thanks also for Rash for really starting editing, even if you didn't have time to finish it. It did motivate me to make this

Since it took such a long time to edit this, the members roster underwent some changes, so please consider the players and their segments as a sort of time capsule of how the clan used to be.

The video is best viewed on full screen. Make sure you have the time for it, it's almost 24 minutes long

Without further ado, here it is!

1st off, thanks for debating in a civilized manner, and putting effort/theory into your posts, now i'm enjoying it

That's how I generally post A shouting match is fun for other people, but in the end, both parties think they won the argument and feel the other guy didn't listen. So not something I particularly enjoy.

To be clear, I'm not against turn order abuse as a strategy. It's a good way to improve your chances when you've been dealt a bad card with worm placement and such. It's also a good counter against people hiding one of their 80 HP worms in a difficult/impossible to hit spot while dealing damage with the others.

I just think it becomes silly if there are people who go straight for those tactics in every game right off the bat (which severely limits the possibilities of the scheme imo). Several people have severely overused this strategy straight from the start against me, which killed the fun of the scheme for me.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that assessment, either.

Off the top of my head, if I have 3 worms on top in nice positions, and my 1st turn is a worm below, and there are no more nice spots left, I will sacrifice that worm so I can focus on having the worms in nice positions to execute nice shots.

That's useful.

...but objectively inferior to simply teleporting to a better position, unless you plan to abuse turn order.

[...]people do it in other schemes as well, why don't people complain about that? When people use kamikaze in Elite? Or sacrifice a worm in Roper or WxW or Team17 or Shopper to gain turn advantage.

It has been posted here often enough why people think it's a problem in hysteria. When people use kamikaze in elite, they tend to also do a lot of damage to the opposing team with that kami.
When they sacrifice a worm in roper, they do that when the worm is almost dead, not at the start of the game.
Same with WxW and shopper (though I don't know that that ever took place from my own experience, generally, people hold on to their worms).

How often have you seen people sacrifice worms in the latter 3 schemes btw?
I've only had one game of shopper where I killed a worm in my first turn and my opponent followed with perfect piling strategy. He still wasn't able to overcome the loss of that worm, though. Seems counterproductive to not only lose the worm, but also lose a turn to do so.

Nobody is arguing that sacrificing a worm is always a bad thing. You are the only one here who thinks we are.
The argument is that killing off your own worm at the start of the game is a good idea in current hysteria, regardless of the situation.

Missing the point.

No, YOU are missing the point.

I make a post that makes no reference to your post, therefore, there is no point to miss.
You make a reference to my post, missing the point of my post.

Saying NOU doesn't change the facts

Fine. Make a solid argument that killing your own worm in turn 1 by dropping it in the water without damaging your opponent is useful if you're not allowed to abuse turn order. Because that scenario is why people think hysteria is a dumb scheme.

Missing the point.
