Nothing wrong with copying parts of existing schemes and combining them into a new one. After playing both WA and W2 Roper I took the best of both worlds (in my opinion) and made "Roper no CBA" where the CBA rule is kinda built-in but you are allowed to ignore impossible crates. It's good to have some different name for the variant so people know what it's about. I wouldn't want to join a host called "Roper" and then end up playing ZaR.

Fair enough! And don't worry, ZaR Ropers are often marked with the letter Z or ZaR tag. I would like to add that in ZaR there can only spawn maximum of 2 crates on a map and no more. This is to avoid crate hording and perhaps equal opportunity to get a difficult crate. I think this should be applied for Roper scheme too.

When does a scheme become copy paste of existing scheme?

i probs won't be able to answer with a proper answer, but think of BigRR, with 40sec no nana and 30sec with nana

When is a scheme considered plagiarized?

when did authoring schemes happen? is it properly documented who made most of the league schemes besides the authoring on TUS?

Is it plagiarism if the scheme is based on ideas & concept of past & present that didn't go anywhere?

if it's not published, not really

i need foxhound here

What about Big ZaR RR? With Zook, 30s turn, 10s retreat, & batty? And some maps featuring difficult long climbs?

Authoring Scheme is something I recently noticed when select people pointed fingers at my own scheme as if they were stolen from others.

Yeah why not get FoxHound or anyone else here to shed some light what plagiarism really is, because I am not sure.

Have you seen it?! I just finished the final season 2 episode! IT WAS SO AWESOME! JAW DROPPING EXPERIENCE!

Star Wars fans, definitely check it out!

I would like to think that I've made a couple of interesting schemes for this community. ZaR is another variation of Roper, & Roper is another variation of Worms 2 Roper.  Some may argue that Roper is just an evolution of Worms 2 Roper, and is the definite one. But my point is that we all have our preferred scheme to play.

My question is: When does a scheme become copy paste of existing scheme? When is a scheme considered plagiarized? Is it plagiarism if the scheme is based on ideas & concept of past & present that didn't go anywhere?

For example: In the past, the idea of no parachute was merely thought of and executed as a thing. It could had been some random test games here and there between friends in the past, but it was never made into its own identity. Therefore we have ZaR, where I thought of the idea of having no parachute, while I did not know anything of the past. So it gives ZaR its unique & minimalist appeal.

Here's an example of evolution: Freemediate (scheme created by Kalue), is just an unique evolution of Intermediate, another version if you will.
https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/schemes/freemediate-an-evolution-of-intermediate-32903/

Freemediate, Elite & Intermediate, are similar in my opinion, but plays differently enough to be their own.
Here's a free idea: What if someone made FreeLite? (Free Elite). I suppose that would be considered plagiarism?

I see no harm in inspiration, I think it is quite healthy for the community for players to make new modes & explore their schemes merits & shortcomings with other players. I think it is competitive and can give some really nice results.

What's your thought on this?

I have no counter arguments to provide only but my own opinions.

I accept that some people are educated in this topic, I accept that their proof are accurate with the monopoly-evidence provided by hired fact checkers by big-tech corporation. My findings & research within the big tech parameters will backfire at me. So I admit defeat in that regard. My sources are not acceptable by the narrative and thus is censored. All I have is my opinion and belief as my arguments and defense.

I don't think Chicken or anybody else wasted their time here in this thread though. It can be useful for other people to draw their own conclusion. If you feel otherwise, then there isn't much I think I can do about it.
But I will always engage in topics that are of interest to me, topics that  troubles me, concerns me and for the wellbeing of all of humanity.  I am worried, it feels like all of humanity are walking off a cliff blindfolded. I wish this pandemic never happened, it ruined so many lives. I hope 2021 will be a turning point, but my fears tells me otherwise.

Hope for a better world is all I have.

I think the problem people have is not your assertions nor the conclusions you draw, it is that your present your ideas as fact and you cast everyone else as misguided sheep.

If that's how people see it, then I would like to try and correct it. I am very passionate & strong believer of my own belief. Maybe that is a reason why my ideas may sound like facts (opinions), because I interpret other people idea as facts (which you quoted me on). But again, I have problem presenting my opinions because of search result monopoly of a favorable narrative which I think people deem more desirable to hear than some other discredited scientist, reporter, & theorists. Hence the metaphor ''sheep'' comes into play, because I feel I am the voice of reason surrounded by loud noises. I can understand without a doubt that this make me come off as an Ignorant, but these are my opinions. I am happy to admit I was wrong if my opinion are to be wrong, and I do want to be wrong in this. I do also appreciate the faith you all have in the system, the solidarity, it is nice and touching. But it also worries me a bit. But don't get me wrong, I have not lost faith in the world, the governments, and so on. I just think there's a lot of corruption and self-interest at play.

Perhaps from your perspective you may think people like me are a danger for humankind. I can understand the reasoning from it. But it may sound hard to believe, I don't want mankind to suffer. We all have different ways to think and resolve things.  Ultimately, we just have to believe we just want the best for one another despite our differences in whatever views you may have.

Also, you think deaths are being UNDER-reported? lol... ok. Maybe where you live.

So you must feel that china's COVID reporting numbers are accurate then?

What I find more interesting is the fact that China managed to flatten their curve so early on in this Coronahoax. There's over 1 billion residents there, but here in Europe we're still dealing with this hoax nearly a year later. There can be so many sob stories for one to hear, but it won't defend the integrity of this coronahoax though.

Just imagine if I told you all about a pandemic, social distancing & lockdown over a year ago, no one would believe it, and dismiss it as conspiracy theory. Thing is, I'm already ahead, and there will be more extreme regulations and waves of this ChinaVirus.  Already in Spain they will take notes of people who doesn't want to take the vaccines. Sounds totally reasonable eh? Not really...
But what if I told you something more extreme? What if in some future not so far now, people that refuses to take the vaccine, will eventually be labelled as dangerous hazard for the society, that they would eventually be marched to a containment camp? Sounds familiar mmm? Sounds totally reasonable for the indoctrinated and extremists out there anyway.

Imagine if I said any of this in China? I would be jailed or worse. Probably reasonable right? 

Make sure there are no spaces left. For example /kick Kradie(NO SPACE NOW).

And obviously.... Make sure that wormkit is on.....

Other than that, I don't know.

A 99.7 % survival rate is not a pandemic.

So far in Norway 421 people have died of Covid, & an average die of the flu is 900 people per year here.
271 of 421 were over 80 and died of covid-19.

A chief physician in Norway said this in an interview (translated)

Quote- I was quite worried when I first heard about the virus, but as numbers and research on mortality came, this fear has disappeared. The figures we have indicate that this disease is not much more dangerous than the flu. In my opinion, there is therefore no connection between the closed measures and the mortality rate for this disease, Næss told TV 2.

But yeah this is from my country. Still, please quiver in fear, the virus is watching you. Be an obedient cattle as you are ^^

Look who's talking who is raining waste from far above. Only wants to police everyone, force everyone to their low level. I know plenty of people who literally hates or just downright dislike Tus and its people. Why? Because they find a lot of them toxic & arrogant. People like Komodo who consistently preach about solidarity and but doesn't even commit to it and just label everyone to something negative when they don't agree with him.  It is just pure hypocrisy to the ugliest level. When a SJW just puts everyone in a box and label it as toxic waste.

If the N word is to be banned, I would like to more words to be removed F, B, W, & C word. You don't make a better world by restricting 1 word.

If this forum would deny the right to discuss politics, religion, climate, good and bad of their country, and so on, Then all general things need to be denied, because people will always cry like Komodo when someone doesn't agree to their opinion.  That's life, people are different, just avoid the people you do not like, the end.

Who the hell do you think you are though? You're not the only person around here put their heart & soul to this game. I've owned and played this game since late 90s, and there should be no reasons to discourage other people you don't see eye to eye with. It's just damn extreme. This thought process is dangerous.  I know there are people who straight up dislike me, some of it I can actually understand, but I do know kind and honest people here who aren't as fiendish as you. My goal has always been to try get people together, people like you who breaks it up.

Quote from: Sbaffo on December 28, 2020, 12:52 PM
It's so incredible that people think can "have their own opinion" when there's an argument regarding a complex scientific topic like vaccines, but today papa Sbaffo will explain you how it really works:

1 - You work your stupid ass for a couple years to get a degree
2 - If you were remarkably good, you get to master your studies
3 - Meanwhile you can start doing research with the knowledge that you have learnt
4 - You publish your research
5 - the scientific community will review your research and if it's good it will be accepted and later published

Therefore anyone here who has no competence at all, doesn't read scientific papers published on proper sourcers or have made their own opinion based on some foolish idea they made up or just because you read a few articles through the internet, you can go f@#! your-self. You have no idea how science works, and yet you pretend to know what's going on here. Get vaccinated and shut the f@#! up

My sweet little naive kid, who comes off as superior & pretentious to the rest without adding anything of substance. Pathetic!
Just leave, your indoctrinated mind by the left has brainwashed you and countless of other little kids. Go and be afraid by the rising sea level, and take your mark like a nice little cattle.

what if an outage happens?

Have flashlights & candles ready.
Turn on additional power supply if you have.
Power on radio.
Move cold food outside or in basement.
Have can food, corn & wheat type of food available.
Seek out nearest neighbor.
Head to a common place where people normally gather such as a town square.
Listen to people in charge & follow instruction.
Do not loot & riot, remain calm.

Merry Christmas!

Well then I have a question. If this didn't happen nearly as often before, why it became a thing now?

Hoster has a responsibility to greet, manage, & question newcomers about the game mode they entered. For example, I can have my host open for a couple of minutes while having other people in it. At times as a host I can be afk and this is made obvious by having my absence be relayed through a team name or map ''afk 2 min'', or letting other know about my absence before leaving to do my stuff before returning.
However, when someone with poor to no English at all steps into my host room, and make no effort to communicate, then they get the boot. This also goes for trolls, losers, & toxic people.

Some may not be as sophisticated and as result they boot the anomaly because it doesn't fit to their narrow mindset.  Therefore they are not responsible.

Thank you
