This thread actually shows who is truly evil or good. I have made up my mind in this case. :)

Wow, that's insightful! All of that from a BnG thread on Worms forum!?


Must've been another...

..one of my very few qualities

I suppose at this point I have to put you on ignore list (the first btw), all you do is stalk/follow me and talk smack, is that one of YOUR qualities? Sad. You were one of the few wormers I had on Steam, what has happened? Look at your past posts that quote me, it's just complaining about my opinion...

Incredible, and a big facepalm to Team17 that are unable to do what a single dude can replicate. This looks way better than any try of new Team 17 era. It's so stupid how incompetent they are. Keep working on it! We could even kickstart this maybe we can get a few hundreds of dollar to help you!

@Anubis

I dont want to continue this topic anymore, everything has been said, done and time has passed. Theres no comming back, i probably shouldnt even mention anything as it doesnt concern anyone but b2b, but i dont like the fact that people think we are thiefs, dongs, and life ruiners. And since we are open to talk about others in this thread then i took my chances...

I can respect that. Thanks for explaining it in detail anyway, both you and Komo. In a different timeline you guys are probably still hanging out and W:A is as big as LoL. :D

Regarding b2b, I have always been curious how this whole ordeal happened, I have heard both sides but never any real conclusion. In the end I believe that the person founding a group/clan/community should have the last word on any matter because it is his/her baby so to speak. So regardless if you were wrong or right, if you are unhappy with the way someone handles your community just leave and make a better one. Don't take it over. I know I wouldn't have let that happen in any clan I made. It's a dick move and a spit in the face of the founder.

We would have to collect every TUS/IRC/private/game replay logs to make it clear and its not gonna happen. I just had a look on how it all started and basically he went nuts at some point and left b2b (removing tag/TUS community membership/etc) like an angry kid over something that escalated in his head, went as far as creating new b4b community and then tried to split us apart quietly, and after it didnt work out (and iirc being inactive here and there for some time) he suddenly came back claiming and behaving like he never left, with all selfish, delusional and even dictatory attidute, negating everything he has said, lying, and boiling all that everywhere publicly, making us the bad guys, so a story that likes to repeat itself and people with common sense know what is it about in regards to Komo. Then we decided to not let him in, because that would mean the end of b2b. Note that while i am not the best example of a reasonable guy, some people in b2b are one of the most reasonable guys in WA's history and most reasonable people i have ever dealt with, like KRD, OoO, GreeN, and we agreed together for the future of this community. All in all, again, theres lots of detail, private shit, logs and things to it that cant be revealed for various reasons,, that its hard to make a reliable story for people not involved to understand us. Also wormf00d co-founded b2b its just Komo was Komo, overactive and took everything very seriously,, hence the common thinking it was all thanks to him, which in part was, but that doesnt make him an absolute owner. That's all i have to say on this topic.

That's fair, If that is indeed what happened and wormf00d, the co-founder, agreed to refuse Komodo his entry back then it is in my eyes a valid decision. With that being said, remember that it's obvious Komo cared a lot about this. Have you ever just apologized to each-other to have peace of mind? Even if one side did "more" wrong than the other, I am sure there were parts of the story you could have handled a little better or different and probably some words have fallen that were not pretty. At this point you could even invite him back (if he wants) unless the entire community is full with Komo hating posts, lol.

Thing is though, if you know how to notch, and I mean properly, combining this with software so that pressing hotkeys gives a desired aim, it basically does all the work for you. Casso is by all means a very clever person, but something i've learned in life is to question everything, never believe anything unless you see it in the flesh. It takes a lot of experience and knowledge to see things other people cannot.

Even if DeadCode and CyberShadow can confirm they find no suspicious activity in a replay does not even guarantee that a person is legit, it only proves their methods of detection covered what they can, and it's always entirely possible someone has found a way to avoid detection, after all this is the age of technology and extremely clever people.

I don't care what anyone says about this, I think it's a disgrace to even consider something like this, let alone actually seek out to do it just because a person lacks the discipline and passion to achieve skills naturally. I absolutely despise anyone in life who tries to gain an unfair advantage at anything, who tries to beat their opponents and claim they done it as equals, this is one of the greatest problems with humanity in my opinion, and I would honestly rid the universe of every single living soul who is guilty of this if I could. I want to live in a universe of peace, love, and trust, but that's just me, I fully understand the majority of the human race is full of greed and corruption, especially when it comes to mob mentality, and that I will more often than not stand alone in my beliefs.

The whole challenge in Hysteria, and skill, is doing everything in 1 second, if you have a table or ruler or whatever and know exactly where to aim based on calculations/distances like this instead of instinct like it should be, and then furthermore use something that automatically achieves this aim without effort or failure, all you need to do is get the power correct. This makes it possible to miss shots due to not achieving the right power which further masks the unfair advantage.

You can condemn me for having this opinion all you want, but I have confidence in my suspicions and the evidence provided here finally gives me an understanding and some sort of conclusion to something I was always suspicious of, even though we'll never know for sure 1 way or the other.

That's why I would actually want a proper remaster with a new infrastructure and true anti-cheat implementation, imagine this W:A was a very popular game, we have no methods to easily find people abusing the engine. Macros, scripts and even speed altering software are able to attack and exploit all schemes. We basically have to manually check players and replays and then conclude with the little information that we have if someone is or is not cheating. I don't think the competitive scene can grow in a healthy way when even innocent good players always have the stigma that they MIGHT be not legit since you can't prove it 100% anyway. This might be the case for Casso, for all we know he was just curious on what can or what can not be done, or it was malicious intent and he indeed used it. We can never say for certain.

Obviously currently we don't really need to worry about that, the scene is crippled by inactivity and not by dubious players. But it has always been an issue in W:A.

Edit: Forgot to reply to Komo.

While i'm at it, out of the active posters i've came across that get involved, there are only a few people i've noticed I can talk with calmly around here, HHC, DarkOne, MonkeyIsland, Anubis and Senator. Everybody else eventually breaks down and hurls insults etc.

That is actually one of my very few qualities, I can keep it cool and argue without going overboard. Getting triggered is fine, just remember that another human is on the other side of the screen. :P

I think I can only remember directly insulting someone here on TUS once when we were talking about tapping/keyboards/modding (I think it was here at least), which I admit, I am VERY passionate about. I like to think I would be an expert in that regard since I have explored everything there is to explore. Someone repeatedly telling me I don't know what I am talking about can potentially drive me over the edge. :D

you never were highly competitive to begin with. You are okay with casually playing a funner now and then and enjoy the game. That's fine and the game is okay if you just enjoy it that way and will probably work until the day you die since you can just play with your small circle of friends. But that's not what I want, and that's why I express my "negativity".

I have 1397 ranked games played in last 4 years.

Highly competitive hahahh..  I was never creme de la creme of tus, mediocre at best.. But mastered few schemes that i enjoyed to play and proved it against numerous players.

There was literally abundance of ppl to play against in these last 8 years of your stay on tus, Anubis.
"Highly competitive" ones as well. Guess you just liked to do warmers with small circle of friends, rather than compete..


EDIT: sorry for off topic joe. I'm out anyway. Probably nothing will happen but I like what you're doing. Also great job with steam discussion threads for newcomers. You're fore sure most active guy there when someone is in a search for help. Keep it up. Peace

Of course I have played 4 years ago, I had a semi-active phase in dt, I made 2 clans, one with with barman, komo and one I made with ropa and Kaleu. I engaged with the best ttrr player in recent history (sbaffo), so what is the point you are making? You played competitive games, well so did I. You can bath in your games played on TUS all you want, it doesn't change anything about the current state, which is funny you guys usually are the first to complain about us oldies that we only care about the past, well I am here telling you the present is f@#!ed but "oldies of TUS" are ignoring the fact that W:A is dying in-front of your eyes and you don't even acknowledge it. :D

4 Years ago the game wasn't as competitively dead as it is in the past year or two. I can dig up my past as well where I played thousands of singles/clanners prior to TUS, what's the point? We are not debating the past, I thought this was obvious.

The point is, I could always go back to TUS and get competitive, as you can clearly see in my history I did just that. Nowadays? Nope, and that's what our discussion is about. W:A as a competitive game is near it's dying breath.


I remember in recent years when a topic about "W:A is dying" was always nah mate, it's summer, the people will all come back in Winter. It doesn't take a genius that it continually gets less and less active. Now you will jump out of the bush and tell me: WELL THEN PLAY MOAR, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT TOO. No, I am not, a healthy competitive community does not rely on single individuals let alone old players such as myself. We already had our no-life phase where we played 24/7, were super engaged and made projects and tbh our "version" of W:A was more successful in that regard, no issues with new blood pouring in. I am not blaming you for what has happened to W:A. But damn it, stop blaming me when I state the f@#!ing obvious because you guys will keep defending a part of W:A that is a shell of what it used to be.

This site lives of repetitive posts. I don't have anything against you. But as we all here are repetitive forum junkies, your negativity about current state of a game and comparisons with long forgotten times are sticking out of every post last year or two. And they've started to get on my nerves. I know they shouldn't but they do. As you're entitled to your opinion, I am as well.

Even this whole thread by joe is a fkn recycle. We've seen it 5 times already. But who cares. It's positive and in best wish of something new and better to happen. I'll support this over "wa is dead. It was fun 2002., the end is near..." at any time of a day.

Sorry if you thought of it as some kind of personal attack cause there was no intention. Just don't fancy inactive ppl talking about the game. You're right, I'm the problem in this case.

When I say W:A was better back in the days I mean for the most part the amount of competitive players, it's a simple fact that more players were active in leagues. Don't you want the activity back that TUS used to have? Look at past seasons and see how little games are played now, there is no incentive for competitive players to ever come back to this game. I think part of the problem is that you are happy/content with current situation because you never were highly competitive to begin with. You are okay with casually playing a funner now and then and enjoy the game. That's fine and the game is okay if you just enjoy it that way and will probably work until the day you die since you can just play with your small circle of friends. But that's not what I want, and that's why I express my "negativity". How else am I supposed to show my opinion other than saying the game is not fun the way it is now? I can't, I have to address the bad parts (imo) of the current state of the game.

And as you can see, I have already stated how I imagine the bad parts could be fixed. By improving the accessibility of ranked play directly through the game/UI.

the game is very likely to die at some point, nothing lasts forever etc. :D Especially when nobody maintains it anymore and nothing changes. Don't need to sugarcoat reality.

Myself or any familiar wormer cat are not living in fantasy world or "sugarcoating" anything. Plenty of us just enjoys to be around community, voice chat and have some fun times worming. Also, always around to help out newcomers with getting to know how this thing works. Nothing too hectic.

Although, in most of your post you're prognosticising or wishing this game is dead for a long time now. With every f@#!ing chance you get you want to say something negative. What the actual f@#! is wrong with you man? How much negative thoughts you can spread around this community? I'm not even exaggerating. Just take a look at your previous comments and do 2+2. I mean, what's the point behind all of that? Coming into only place that this game still has and trying to force that "wa will eventually die" shit upon all of us. Nobody cares man. Just relax and enjoy it while it's around or.. don't even be around, again - nobody cares.

I don't know what is wrong with you mate, you keep getting enraged when you talk with me. I remember you said you were disappointed by how I act on Steam some time ago. Your negativity towards me is really disheartening and a bad representation in this small community, like Komodo has said I am merely stating my opinion and just like Komodo I can actually compare now and then. Nobody that has been around as long as me is really happy with the state of W:A and I would like for it to grow back to it's former glory. Of course you can enjoy W:A in it's current state, I never disagreed with that.

My initial post was actually a positive one by the way, I would want W:A to be remastered (not the game) I am thinking the UI, online match making needs to be brought into 2018 since it's initial release nothing has changed in that regard. In fact, we lost an important feature, no more ranked game. We are all forced onto TUS to have competitive play. I think it would revitalize  the game if the whole accessibility for competitive play was revamped and improved.

Quote from: TheKomodo on November 27, 2018, 02:38 AM
Anubis, I was looking for some examples or something.

- Ranked/Casual match making needs to be implemented so you don't need to idle in a chat channel and spam messages to find games.
- The UI could need a rework since it looks straight from 2000
- Be able to rejoin games if you drop out of a game (which might be a 4.0 feature?)

Quote from: Anubis on November 26, 2018, 02:55 PMit is really hard to go back to W:A when all newer games are vastly superior in that regard.

Elaborate please.

The online experience is not modern, the interface and actually finding games is ancient. I have talked about this in a different thread already that you agreed on, lol.

And Sensei, as if I can sabotage W:A, how would I do that? You think I have any influence on anyone? The few that actually know me on TUS already made up their mind or stopped playing. There is no innocent player to protect, the game is very likely to die at some point, nothing lasts forever etc. :D Especially when nobody maintains it anymore and nothing changes. Don't need to sugarcoat reality.

I would rather fund a proper remaster of W:A, like the one Blizzard is doing with Warcraft 3. New technology for modern gaming, the fundamental online capacity is ancient and so outdated it is really hard to go back to W:A when all newer games are vastly superior in that regard. The game is great, the online interaction sucks major balls. We just got used to it, but objectively the online part of W:A is basic, ancient, outdated and simply garbage by todays standards. :D

Considering the evidence in this thread, and the other respected players who think Casso played unfairly, do you REALLY think i'd act like a sore loser for no reason at all? I've lost far more important games and not gave a f**k.


It's actually just walrus that thinks Casso might be fishy. :D
