All of this seem shady.

Kradie, you ducked clan matches for years until you got the best active player to play with you against a smattering of completely inactive and depleted clans.

We just going to ignore this fact?

My sweet little James, astute as ever, aren't we? But I hate to break it for you, things change.

Clans of the past are nothing but mere relics of today. They mostly serve no purpose but to display accolades & historical Interest. Even if there are a few active players now and then that plays, they have no intention to mobilize themselves to compete against newly established clans. At least this is to my understanding.

As I mentioned here earlier, RS isn't as dead as one would think. It is all about ambition.

What is your business here anyway James? What is your endgame here? It is not like you play anymore.

Since when shopper is a rope scheme?

All the way back in early 2000s.

Without the utilization of the ninja rope to progress across a normal to big sized shopper map, it would not be a rope based scheme at all. So let's examine a little to WHY this is the case Mr Korydex. I would wager that over 90% of shopper games, players must utilize rope to advance in 30 seconds, rather than to use battle race techniques to traverse the terrain and its obstacles. Without the ninja rope, Shopper as we know it, would be slow paced scheme, similar to Team17.

So why not have unlimited supply of ninja rope in Team17 then? Simple: it is not designed to be fast paced. The map, and the random terrain and its obstacles does not allow for accelerated movement with rope. The rope is used sparingly, for tactical purposes only.
But in Shopper, you are always on the move by using the ninja rope. You are allowed to knock, and rearrange your worm and enemy worm with rope. In Team17 scheme it is prohibited to knock.

So Yes. Mr Korydex. Shopper is a rope based scheme.

we, as representatives of the RS, are interested in playing with human players, not with robots, for exmaple

In other words u're a bunch of pussies?

don't you dare insult me and my clan. If everyone is practically inactive, this does not mean that we do not know how to play.

If you opt out to play schemes that you can't handle or someone with particular playstyle, it can be seen as cowardly.

What is this nonsense lol? There are no good rope players in our clan.
I don't remember that there were such players in our clan.
Basically, they give preference to tactical and strategic schemes

There's no real good land players in my clan too, except from ZorroX. Yet, any of us will play whatever scheme the other clan will choose. It is very Important to allow yourself and your clan to be versatile, otherwise you and your buddies will have limited experience in other schemes.
My clan's ambition is be versatile, we wish to be approachable to different schemes.

As I said to you earlier, I am no fan of Intermediate, but if that is what my opponent will pick, I will have to play it.

Are you really that afraid to lose in rope based scheme?
Maybe recruit some good rope players to your clan?

Clan league is not only about land, and what you like. It is about the journey you and your clan mates go through.

My clan is too dead to offer to play. Good luck finding you someone to play with

SIBASA offered interest in playing clanner, and to my observation he's quite active. Infernal, I see him a couple of times on WormNET too. So, I don't think that could classify that as too dead. It is all about keeping your prioritize straight, and how you mobilize. Are you willing to mobilize the people who are around in your clan and look for clan matches? To find new members? Or perhaps you aren't interested in any of that at all?

Ok, you can upload the games against Syc,

Um, thanks, but...

Quote
but you have to rematch games with SIBASA, because he didn't agree with your choice.

That is not what happened. SIBASA agreed to the scheme, under protest. He was free to choose not to agree, at which point I would've exercised my choice as well, to leave the cup. It's all there in the log file he quoted.

Quote
I can replace the cup scheme and set HHC Team17 scheme version.
Since, in my opinion, it is more balanced than the cup one.

All you've done is replace the bad scheme with an even older bad scheme that has every single one of the problems I highlighted above. Did you read anything I wrote?

• No WA v3.8+ scheme options
  
  • Rope knocking is not disabled
  • no glitches are disabled
• Longbow is set to 50+50 damage
• BlowTorch and Drill are set to 5 stars

Quote
This is my last word. I replaced the scheme with a more bearable one.
You need to play cup games according to the HHC scheme, or not play at all.

Please delete Syc and me from the roster, already. I've made my position clear.

Do you want to play by your own rules? Create your own cups and don't fool people's heads. I took a step to revive the local community of players a little - and there will always be those who do not like it. You are like one of those people.

I can't delete you, but I can find a replacement, don't worry. I will find adequate people to play, and not snot in the comments, while adding my services to the community of players

Furthermore, I already made my position clear. If forced to play on a scheme with the problems I've described your scheme had, I would choose to leave the cup.

If I understand correctly, are you a rope clan? In this case, I have no complaints. Look for your clanners further

My clan plays all schemes. Can you say that about yourself and your clan?

We play more earth schemes

We can play earth scheme if that would be your pick. You would also have to play our pick too.

Where and who are the robots?

Find ob clan in AG, and we can plan a few matches.

I played with blitzed, he is a robot. Like you, in terms of the rope

Blitzed & I are seasoned players. What else would you like people to play competitively? Play carefree? Super fast taps with lot of tricks? Nah I don't think so. All I can advice you, play more rope based games and play the game properly.  This goes for me too, I am not good with Intermediate e.g. But I have to play that when people ask for it.

I think people are more comfortable on discord rather than to use site messengers & snoopers. Not many know of snooper, and just use channels just to host their games. Most doesn't even know that there is a league, and that you can use WormNAT2 instead of HB. So a link to discord on front page of this site could entice visitors of this site to click it and become member of a TUS discord.

Say what you want about Sensei's discord server, but it is a success. This also goes to the other Worms Armageddon related discord servers that are smaller in size. However, if you allow yourself to look at the other way, I can totally see the necessity for a TUS discord server and here is why: Not everyone to my guessing, would  want to keep their browsers, tabs, & phones open just to chat here on TUS. It would be more convenient & preferable imo, for TUS to have a discord link on the main site near the messenger. At least this would allow people to have the option to choose where they would conduct their communication. It would also allow TUS to reach out to more people who wishes to engage in ranked games & casual worms talk.

Speaking of Discord, perhaps TUS could also open a Twitch channel too. To stream random league games and so on.

In other words, TUS is the perfect WA hub for communication & streaming.

Group 4 gonna be blast.
