I think 2009 was the golden age of RubberWorm and PX.

I'm afraid PX 0.8.0 only came out in 2011, and prior to that nobody played it. Same with RubberWorm, it was still in development by Pisto in 2009, long before Kawoosh takeover (KMZ at the time), the game was unsaturated with players who had RubberWorm installed at the time. I'd say the golden age of RubberWorm is right now.The problem is that the "golden age" of the game itself is gone. Although I think "golden age" is the wrong way to put it.
back in 2009 people told me about the golden age in 2004. But it's not about this gold stuff, it's that the game was more popular.

I don't want to be the one to say this, but there will be no more Worm Olympics.

The format that made the Olympics possible assumed a popularity that the game no longer has.
Even in the "golden days", when the game enjoyed it's popularity, not all tournaments managed to gather 12 or 16 people simultaneously, the minimum for tournament hosting. Nevertheless, some tournaments attracted 30-50 people, or more.

Spoiler! View

Since then, the popularity of the game has dropped 10-20 times. In the last years, Tus tournaments attracted 8 people (as best-case scenario), or 0 (meaning no one came, most of the time)

My point will be that this is not enough, from a simply mathematical point of view.

And here I'll note another thing: that magical feeling of Olympics stemmed from the Network effect:
2-3 tournaments with a small number of players are of little interest. But when for several months many tournaments with a large number of players from many dozens of countries and clans are played every day, forming a standing, people get involved in the race and competition, and this is a network effect that does not generate in a situation where the amount of players that comes to the tournaments is almost less than the number of medals expected to be awarded. (Not even talking about the old 3vs3 tournaments, where the winners received a total of 9 medals, more than the number of people tournaments ever had in the recent years).

The Olympics without the network effect is not going to work. This was already felt during the last few Olympics, where it did not attract enough people, felt like a failure, and it was for this reason that WO disappeared in the first place. The community has since shrunk several more times.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but I don't see how this can be fixed without raising the games popularity back 20x

You gotta try this yourself. It even told me about my legacy!





I have to admit, it also hallucinates alot when rambling about W:A

I'm afraid the consciousness might not survive even at cryogenic state, so if you do wake up, that's not going to be the real you anymore.

there are no scientifical reasons to make  brain cryogenics (without destroying its structure) impossible. and once the structure is saved, it'll be the real you.
real means if you die now, you'll actually wake up after cryogenics (which is fundamentaly different from WBE, where you die, and then your clone wakes up, while you're still dead)

wish we had a repost of all of impo's memes, he had some awesome ones
