Sorry everyone. Job is pretty rough last couple of weeks. Wanted to try and play all games today since I'm free, but Kradie didn't want to move deadlines and that's ok! Gl all. Walrus, I'm watching you live in finals!

It is really tough to make these decisions since there can be mixed feelings about it. There were other people whom didn't get to finish their games too. But as I have said to people on discord everyone had 22 days to play their group games. 8 more days extra than my usual cup setup. Hopefully it could work out better in future cups!

The cup must go on 

Thank you for trying Sensei!

Knockout has begun.

Good luck fellas!

Can a moderator be so kind to approve this cup please?

Another epic cup has ended thanks to you guys. Thank you all for playing!

Congratulations to the victors and all participants for playing!

Cya next time ^_^

Oh mama!

I'm interested in streaming the Quarter Finals onwards if the participants and moderators are happy with that?

Yes, go for it.

The cup has started and everyone are sorted into groups.

Since we started earlier before July the 1st,  you have more time to finish your group games. Though do not slack off! The whip will be felt the closer we get to deadline. If we do however finish way before deadline, we can use those extra days for knockout stage too. 22 days remains from this post.

Good luck and have fun everyone!!

Two more players and then we could start!

Additionally: It has been brought to my attention that this new Aerial scheme plays much faster than the other one and because of this, both stages of the cup is bo3. In other words: All games are bo3, group and knockout stage.

That's it for now.

consider switching to the superior scheme with nonrandom mines - https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-2175/

I agree, current aerial scheme is trash

Right on guys! Thank you! 

Scheme is now changed to Sensei's edit. 

Weapon shot is automatically released at end of turn on rope or land.
Display a ''user is connecting to host lobby in the host's lobby''.
Kicking a user 3 times in a row results in a 5 minute ban.
Option to choose what a died worm leaves behind: Crate, Health Crate, Utility, Sheep, or Petrol Fire.
Multishot is not Infinite, option to choose how many attacks a worm can perform.
Bounce is not infinite, option to choose how many bounce a worm can bounce.
Worms keep bouncing after retreat.
Worms Strike: A barrage of worms drops from above in parachute with X amount of health. These worms are allies of the trigger team. The drop behaves somewhat Identical to MB bomb.
When user drops, player can easily rejoin from channel (Only this person who dropped can see game).
When dropped from bungee, player can fire rope.
Modify the value of how high a worm can jump with fire punch.
Modify the value of how far the energy ball released from dragon ball.

Knockout has begun. Good luck everyone!

That looks so freaking cool. I wish there was a ZaR logo on the license plate. Z for Zoom, and R for Retreat.

Hi, I can't join or host any servers after posting a GDrive link to a map I made for someone in the chat. How do I get unbanned?

Hostingbuddy kicks me from any games I try to join.

I had no idea that was a thing.

Host yourself with this.

But If you are referring to connecting to WormNET, then I don't know what you can do.

QuoteThe problem isn't hiding on top, the problem is the amount of RNG in Roper with crate distance from the worm every turn

Normally in ZaR there is no feet on an Island making the RNG more concentrated. This is why IMO that it is less luck based.

Also what exactly is the problem with ''Incredible players lose because they got unreachable crates than their opponent''? That's almost like saying ''Incredible players lose because their opponent got Armageddon / better weapons''. I know this statement was for roper exclusively but I just wanted to make this comparison. Perhaps that these schemes IMO are more fun for some people because of the RNG elements. Of course I sympathize with the fact that better players can lose as a result of RNG because I guess it can be aggravating. But wasn't there somebody that said (mostly in relation to T17 Island) that at least this setup could give beginners an easier time? To create hope?

This also makes me wonder if hypothetically Roper and its variation never existed until recently: Would it be accepted as a league scheme?

Sometime when I host ZaR beginner would join, and sometime they would only hide on top. I never complained about it because they are new. If they weren't new I would probably ask about it and have a rule Implemented xD. But it is as MonkeyIsland said ''The main objective is to be your best and win the game.'' Lupastic did his best. If there was a rule preventing top hiding I am sure he and everyone else would honor it. On the other hand should we add a rule when somebody does something we don't like? Is top hiding really THAT bad?

I just wanted to add my thoughts to the conversation. Nothing personal of course.
