Obsession & escapism doesn't have to be a bad thing. A lot of good can come from it. For instance, joining an established online gaming community, where you can contribute with your sets of skills. By contributing, you can gain something back, positive or negative, but regardless, it can help improve you and others around you. If you commit a couple of hours a day to gaming, good for you, because you are adding value and receiving points. Praise & glory that may or may not be as easy to acquire in real life. Acknowledgement and appreciation is what we just want. Online activity can be therapeutic but also can be hazardous depending on goal and interaction.

If a person commits all their time with gaming, and forgets the basic of life; eating, sleeping, work, school and taking care of themselves, then yes, that's a serious issue. This can apply to other mediums such as; movies, music, books & sports.
Gambling is also a serious addiction, and in my book a waste of time. Why waste of time? You are basically gambling your fortune on luck, and that is purely an irresponsible thing to do.

I also don't see a problem having a job, and coming home to chill & play games. It doesn't mean they are disconnected with the world or have some psychological issues and addiction.

In the end, it is all about being aware and how you can regulate your passion. But if you are afraid it can consume you a bit more, then you can move under a rock and feel its weight crushing you with pain. Because in the end, we all need to escape sometime.

I guess it just depends on how much time you put into it in your situation and if you feel tired playing it or not, and if you have better things to do in your free time. For me, yep, its currently a waste to play WA, but I just have to play some other games occasionally, its a part of who I am.

Exactly, it is a matter of perspective. It is not as black and white as one might think. There can be many benefit of playing any video games, as well as many disadvantages. It is a matter of moderation between what is more important. If a video game consumes too much over what should be prioritized, then the fault lies in the person. Then, there's so many different kind of lifestyles, some are more healthier than others and vice versa. Some might have come to accept their situation of life, and use any game/hobbies as clutch, and as a tool to escape. If one is however is aware and strive for something that is defined to be better, surely it should be commended and cheered for.

I personally don't think anything is a waste of time. It is just a matter of how you look at it.

QuoteDo you think video games a waste of time?

fixed the thread title for you

Oh sweet little Charlie, thank you so much for your contribution, it surely wasn't a waste of time! I salute you ^^

Is Worms/Video games a waste of your time?

If yes, why?

If no, why?

Do you have any experience in both?

Feel free to post your opinion, it is entirely subjective. I will cast my thoughts later.

I have removed blow torch & drill, but kept the 3 girders. Bungee is present as well at infinite quantities.

Adnan, Aladdin, & Blitz, Howanuta, Legion & XanKriegor. Please finish.

I am also trying to get a hold of Adnan and Aladdin. They are tough nuts to reach.
Please specify most convenient day and time for you, so we can play, we all can play.
I am on snooper, discord and here. Please try and reach me. Aladdin tried once, but I was busy, sorry.

Thank you Magnus for your feedback,and your critique is right. That mobility is tough in this scheme, and therefore I have taken the liberty to update this scheme by adding; Infinite blow Torch & drill. Both of these tools does zero damage to the worms now, they are tolls, not weapons. Also there are now total of 3 girders that can be placed over the entire map.There's also infinite bungee too.

Because of these implementation, the scheme feels more complete and diverse. Then again, it could ''mislead it''. I have had many good games without the added content though. Keep in mind, scheme is still in development, and might receive more fine tuning. Perhaps the added tools will be removed? Who knows...

thought of having freeze in it. This could be a useful tool to skip infection. So e.g; You can choose to freeze or do serious damage  and receive infection.

Anyways, keep playing and bring more feedback

to attract new players to fail, everyone is interested in more modern games, I think it is more profitable to return old players

Many old school players have families and other real life responsibility. It would be wrong of us to ''force'' them into this game again. If they ever to return, it would be likely for a casual game with trip back to memory lane.

saint..whos u? dunno u and u r in Dt..thats so   

It can be theorized it is Street or Virus.

Anyhow, seeking players of the past is back peddling, and can lead to stagnation in progression.
The approach can be to reach new players which I have done, but all the people I question about partaking in any league are not interested in competitive play. Some have said ''Is it free?''. Some even do not understand the intricate system & UI of this site.  When I told people about TRL & Cup, I have to sit and explain what they have to do. It is such a tedious activity.

Looks good.

Thanks man. I just wish more could give this underrated scheme a fair chance.

Yes excellent.

Let's begin the cup! Good luck ladies!

The tournament has failed twice.

Rest in peace.

You may close it.

Quote from: Sensei on April 04, 2019, 02:29 PM
Instead of roping one turn back, you count seconds of last turn.
2 players may finish in same turn, but there's almost always few seconds difference.
It's more fair than roping back one turn, and it's also official TUS rules since last 2 years.

You should change that for your cup

Thanks, and it is done.

Cup will start if we are lucky to get one more person.

Make schemes without luck, and i'll try them

That's the whole point of the scheme. You never know what you'll get, and every turn is a huge risk. You are forced to use a weapon to the best of your ability in the given scenario. I have witnessed player take advantage of weapons in ways difficult position. This is indeed luck but also heavily skill based. Which makes it lal the more fun too.

I advice you Komodo to view the replay files that I provided and perhaps try it yourself before handing out judgments.

Hi ladies

New land scheme here.
https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-2779/

Thank you.
