Nothing we do is original anyway, everyone copies everyone & everything all the time. 
In the confinement of Worms Armageddon, there can always be room for a new scheme that may have originality to it. I think Lucky Strike, Kill 2 Steal, Lottery, Big Lottery Rope Race have enough of fresh air to intrigue players of WA. I am again strictly speaking in the confinement of WA. If something fresh comes along people are often intrigued but that doesn't mean the scheme will be good and popular. Big Rope Race Roulette is a refinement of Big Lottery RR. But I personally prefer to play the version with CPU. Just as some prefer to play Aerial with Sudden Death. But most people acquainted with WA and some of its history know that HHC made Aerial. But it is said HHC was Inspired by Aerial scheme from the PlayStation game. But who cares? HHC brought a lot of joy.
So overall to my understanding it is common courtesy to acknowledge the author of the scheme when it is spoken to other people. People often say Aerial is ''HHC' scheme''. When a new scheme DOES arrive and boost interest among people, some may actually ask ''Who made this?'' ''Did you make this?''. Although admittingly some may not give a damn as longest as the scheme does its purpose: Provide a good time.
Did Masta come up with this Roulette RR? I highly doubt it. If the argument is still ''Who cares, everyone copies everyone'' then there wouldn't be a point to have author to anything because everything is a copy. Am I angry that Masta made this version? No. I am glad because now this scheme can play better and enjoyed by others. I just ask for transparency. Another example is K2S, there is already a version where the CPU doesn't play a role at all. Am I mad about that? Not really no. The concept is the same and it is just a matter of preference.
