I am a fan of Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, and there are a few songs by Taylor Swift that I like specially Love Story that I think it's not on Korydex's list (I didn't pay attention to all tracks there). This song is played a lot on the radio and the lyrics are silly, but I like it:


I will share other songs that I like and that surely is not on Korydex's list. It's from a different country music style that is mostly listened in Brazil, but I listened to a song that was played in a Club in France in 2011 when I was there, and people from several countries were enjoying it, including Polishes and germans. I will not share this song because in my opinion is a shitty song and the lyrics are even worse.

The name of this style of Brazil is "Sertanejo" (Brazilian Country music) and it can be divided in two categories/eras. The oldest songs are called by some people "Caipira" (Redneck) and they are indeed great quality melodies and lyrics. I enjoy Caipira music. Here is an example of a song:


There's also this song (no video) by a duo of blacks that are one of the most important people in this genre (it's below). There are not many black artists in Country Brazilian music, in the past there were some, but the current groups (Sertanejo Universitário, read about it below) are all white people.


The other category is called "Sertanejo Universitário" (University Country) not because it is an intellectual style, but because it is played mostly in cities for young people who have money to go out. It is mainly played on clubs and people dance in pairs. This style I don't enjoy. In my opinion 95% of the songs and the lyrics are disgusting, but there are a few ones that are great, specially the ones that have women singing, something that is extraordinary to see, because historically there were almost zero women artists in this style.

This is one example of a recent Sertanejo song that I deeply appreciate with women singing and the lyrics are beautiful and well written (it is an unofficial music video of the original track which is a live recorded track of a live album, and the images of the woman singing is the official artist on a live show):

I still think that the Bazooka should be power 15 with double damage and players should be allowed to boom race with Zook at the last second. It would be much better. Maybe with less turn time to avoid big advantage of those who don't fall and boom race well on important parts. It would be more unbalanced of course, but the gameplay would change and it would be funny. Or maybe make it LDET or Rubber Bounciness with SDET and a rule of a limited number of bazookas per turn. For example: you can use 5 bazookas in a turn.

I once studied the anatomy of a big earthworm, what we call here in Brazil "Minhocuçu" (I wonder if Boggy B is one of these). I don't remember reading or listening to the term "tail" for an earthworm, although I instantly understand what should be a worm "tail". I always thought this part of the lyrics funny. It describes with details the battle. I don't know if the voice match well with the remix on the background, and I think it's a bit repetitive, but I like to experiment a different way to listen the main song of the game. Good job with the remix.

Will TUS support .Lev maps? I didn't see notification options for these maps, only .bit ones.

Thank you! Wow! Can't wait for the next things to come!

The closest thing we have to this in Brazil is the biggest Oktoberfest of Brazil that happens every year in Blumenau (city of the state Santa Catarina). I've been there once, my grandfather and my father went too (we have chopp mugs from this event). I think that the most classical song that they play there is : "Zigge Zagge, Hoi, Hoi, Hoi" by Kristall Quintett. Here's a video from this oktoberfest of Brazil, featuring this song:

Edit: I found my mug. I've been there in 2013. Here's a foto of my mug:


PS: the first event happened in 1984. So it's been 40 years.

C'mon warmer is great name. It has so many interpretations... It defines the scheme very well. Although, Warmer is a proper scheme, distinct from other schemes. Even so, it it a warm up scheme. And that's it. Free style, but a heated free style.

Talking about women, it would be nice to someone contact FFie if she still exists. And maybe some other ones such as ExZo (at least I heard that the player is a woman) and Echiko?

Also, I think nobody mentioned DarkOne. This would be amazing to watch. Crespo too.

I didn't know this game. Seems to be a Worms clone for Smartphone. Gameplay seems worse than worms, though. So it's an adaptation, now I got it. I do think that it's better to change some things to make the scheme more fun rather than making the scheme as equal as possible. I might try this scheme one day. I like adaptations.

Very nice. I already watched all these videos separately, so there was nothing new, but watching the full sequence was very nice. Some videos/challenges connect better the story, there are some that change the story too radically, but they are nice. It's funny to listen to anime music in Japanese and see a Santa Claus worm or a high tech magician that uses an old Sega console for evil experiments. I know that you made One Piece videos, so maybe in the future you could do a Luffy Worm or something. Devil fruit worms.

My favorite, though, will always be this video. And I will always thank you for this video. I never feel tired of watching it:

About the Matchmaking, what about a screen where the player has a list of schemes and he/she can check ✅ the checkboxes of the schemes this player likes to play. The system would try to find a match for this player based on the marked checkboxes of the other players. Maybe some of the checkboxes could be preset, with the main schemes, recommended for players that just want to play the most played ones and don't know the others. So, people could choose to uncheck some of the schemes preset.

When a match is found, the players won't be able to quit the match. They will have to play, otherwise the one who quit will loose points. For example if a player checked the box for T17, Hysteria and WxW and the other player for Hysteria, BnG and T17. The system could choose randomly or not T17 or Hysteria to be the scheme to be played. Or maybe the system could give players a time to decide the scheme, if the time pass, both can loose points. Or maybe players just decide one of these schemes in the lobby and the system will accept either T17 or Hysteria.

Just suggestions and thoughts. I trust Monkey Island's work. By the way yeah, history shouldn't be touched. No anachronism!

Excuse me, but I would like to know why you applied this rule for this scheme. Even Worms 2 received an update to allow using backflip without needing to type a cheat code and you made the second edition of this scheme with the same rule. It is a unique rule, I never seen anything like this before, but I would like to understand better why is it so important. Does it make a significant difference in the gameplay?

I don't care for the prizes, I would donate to TUS if I win, but this will not happen because I suck at Elite and I never really liked this scheme. I don't like 0 seconds of hot seat time and so short turn time, without many weapons. I don't like manual placement. I'm joining only to allow the cup start with 12 players and because my vacations are close to happen.

This is the old tournament that already happened. I will create the cup soon.

If you host one, I will play. Good luck!

I don't know how to close tournaments, this one ended already. Two people played with me that Sunday. I was on AG the whole day. I enjoyed the games. Both players allowed me to share the replays. I will upload them soon and also update the scheme again, just a few tweaks, because I noticed some minor issues playing with Kirill that I want to avoid for the future cup that I will organize. I'm just a bit busy not to say burnout right now. My grandmother passed away recently too, 1 century old. First woman math teacher of my state. That's why I didn't do these things I'm saying. Vacations are coming soon and I will have a lot of free time to work on WA. If people join the cup thinking that Snooker is Warmer or don't join at all, if it flops, I don't care. I don't care if a cup will annoy who play two or three schemes competitively and think that different schemes are a problem for the community. I just always wanted to create a cup for Snooker since its creation. And I do want to do it before eventually quitting WA again or something like this.
