After the book that changed humanity and science forever, Darwin wrote a Worm-book before dying, after studying and analyzing worms for 40 years.

So, his brain was full of worms, like all of us here.

Worms are probably one of the most important groups of living beings in the entire planet, and we wouldn't exist without them. The Earth's history would be completely different since the Cambrian period without the worms. Earthworms are very important even today, maybe as important as bees are, not only for plants, but for humanity and all living beings.

The ability to use Blow Torch changed the world, proving that it is a game changing weapon.

Is it the next official TUS roper scheme?

Roper in this map with these settings is more likely a different scheme, or at least a variation. I wouldn't call it "Roper" only. It would be interesting to try. The map is huge, with columns and destructible, with anti sink. Gameplay is different than traditional Roper.

I sent private message to you here in TUS. Let's play some day on this week or in the next one.

Rocket and I already played our game. Rocket won, I think he forgot to upload the replays. I just checked. He uploaded, so he just didn't receive advancement by the admin.

I'd like to play this scheme with someone. Otherwise I'll play against myself to try it.

I didn't understand all, but some rules are interesting. I liked the ones involving water mainly. It could be a scheme called Pool Party or something, on shallow maps.

Batty rope is on anyway so you can hang from the ceilings/walls making it more difficult to hit with zook, let's see how people use this I'm curious, might be a good thing!

If people complain enough, I'll just edit the scheme and make the zook zero damage.

Oh, so the intention was to use the 5 seconds of retreat time provided by the zook only, hmmm... That actually gives the cop more advantage, I think, because the map is very long. I forgot about the retreat time.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 30, 2025, 07:26 PMCame up with this idea a while back based on the Cops n Robbers fruit machine here in UK, asked rUNaW4y to make the map, and honestly what a map he's made!

Hope you all enjoy!

Special thanks to rUNaW4y for designing the map and images for the Cup, including the medals!

I already wrote a bit about it on Runaway article, since it is a very similar scheme and has the same name as the author of the map, but I will write a full article about it, especially after the cup results.

I didn't write the full article because I'm without my WiFi connection working now, so I'm using the 4.5G of my smartphone. When I fix this, I might be able to play again. I'm considering to join this cup as it's a new cool map and a different scheme, although it's almost the same as BRR, but the Robber has advantage in the beginning, I think it's harder for the cop to reach the robber and zook it.

By the way, I think unlimited health is harder to visualize if the zook hit or not, I would put zero % of fall damage and a very small amount of health (maybe 1HP). It would be nicer, I think.

EDIT:  Oh wait, now I got it, it has unlimited health because the game doesn't end if the Robber is damaged. The zook can be used all the time to push the robber back, right?

Chicken again talking about in-game ranks and less leagues...

I don't think in-game ranks are that important, I don't think this would change things so much, but it would be cool to have this as we see in other games, like in League of Legends that has "masteries" for each character you play. There could have masteries for the different schemes of WA. And masteries are not the same thing as ranks, it's based on how much effort and games you played with that specific thing. Ranks like bronze, silver, gold, platinum for each scheme could be interesting too and maybe one general rank.

Now let's talk about your analogy of the 3 cinemas village. Why don't you let the owners of each cinema decide to close or not the cinema? There will be one moment that the effort on trying to maintain the cinema working won't be worth and it will close, because people will choose to watch films in other cinemas. Ruling the village as a politician and stating that only one cinema should exist won't make the population watch more movies.

I really dislike all the times I see you saying that WA being a sandbox is the cause of the lack of activity we have now. WA being a sandbox is what gave activity to this game all these years. It's a characteristic of the game that people enjoyed. There is still a good amount of people creating new weapons either on PX or wkJellyWorm, if you and some players only enjoy playing the same 3 or 4 schemes it's a niche of the community the same way there are several different niches players enjoy in this community.

The reason for the lack of activity we all know that has to do with Team17 and the fact we have only 2 developers and some other contributors that update the game once every several years while in other games we have big updates every week. It's hard to compete with all existing games with 2 developers and a company that never heard so much these devs and the community.

I don't usually opine much about cheating after wkWormOrder issues. I like the concept of that module, but people are seeking for the first version of that module until today. It's a very small advantage that people could have writing on paper, but the community considers this cheating. I think what the community considers as cheating should always be respected. Although this community discusses for very minor details sometimes that I think it's sometimes unnecessary. For example I'm now experimenting a new medication for my ADHD. That medication can be considered dopping, maybe? I don't know. There are things that are out of our control, like using a ruler to aim on the screen. It's a matter to trust people or accept this.

I'm always against cheating, even on chess and board games. I'm just stating my opinion here, after Komito's post. But being against cheating is something so obvious, it's sad that there are people that don't understand this.

TUS is the biggest forum since Team17 official one shut down. Forums are nice, many people are not active, but still use the forums only to read sometimes. I already used a lot of information in the forums as source to the history of this game in the wiki.

The example scheme starts with (RIP) MB Bomb + Sheep. So players may choose one of the two weapons at first turn?

Arithmetic progression Sudden Death. Water rises progressively, each turn the flood is stronger.

Or maybe each turn the flood is weaker. That would be cool, but harder to predict the flood.
