Wasn't the idea behind the cup to force people to play the schemes that they would have never played otherwise? I would keep things the way they are right now. Maybe if the Player A doesn't want to play one scheme, he can voice his veto right away on the Twitch stream. There will be 3 extra schemes to draw, and from those 3 schemes, it is the opponent (Player B), who will later choose the scheme more favourable for him. Since at first glance, changing the scheme wouldn't pay off, only the most desperate players would reject them.

^ that's right, forget that idea Lancy. just collect a nice amount of 40-50 schemes again for #2 cup and mix them all, like you did in #1 cup. just maybe instead of adding an overall bo1 for player 1 and player 2, give'em the chance to play bo3 (for 3 different schemes) in group stage too

kraddie's comet dodge race is nice too (just needs more maps to be played on), this is an overly simplified version of that

there are so many colored and nice wxw maps to choose from, why always the same maps..

Sir Dance-a-lot

scheme idea for you for next wheels cuppa ^.-

group 2, Rocket + me both 3/6 stats, tomorrow it all goes down

get your chest-hair waxed omg!

nice gameplay video on youtube, saw it now in the description : )

^ if I'm not mistaken, the scheme above is the first and original version of implementing shopper scheme with kaos features by sensei. everything that comes after is a copy basically your scheme here is just encouraging the use of drill + adding earthquake and mine strike (which is a bit odd), me + echiko made a cup and made our version of the scheme and decided to call it "kaos shopper" as well, https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-4087/
https://www.tus-wa.com/cups/cup-1128/

the scheme itself is a great idea, it makes shopper fast paced and requires tonnes of skill with roping + using multiple weaps to make the biggest dmg possible in a short time, while simple shopper is more about hiding, watching for worm rotations, planning and strategy. I prefer rapid games. its a nice invention (:

change this to Lottery scheme cup rather?

just a thought/idea for a possible #2 cup:

what if even in group stage players get to play a bo3 series of schemes? so like

a) the wheel rolls intermediate for X, and it's bo3 inter (1-0)
b) wheel rolls kaos for Y, bo5 (1-1)
c) wheel rolls trick race for X, bo1 (2-1, final score)

it would be more challenging for them than just playing a bo3 Supersheep Race or any randomness.. so giving the opportunity to play more

ah the classic hostingbuddy retro shopper! where most of us first learned the basics of noobie roping : p noice

Looks very cool. There are a lot of rules to learn, but the gameplay really interested me.

I would add this scheme to Wheel of Fortune cup in future

I have always said that this is certainly the best scheme invention ever in the history of worms armageddon. its 100% a board game brought to life in WA. best, most creative and most unique scheme, even if it hasnt received the credit it should have, I congratulate SMACK-RULES or whoever the creator is, I'm a bit noob to play it and it heavily relies on knowing quite a few rules, still its a top scheme.

When you open a game that somebody reported, you don't see what scheme they were playing. You can probably figure out if you open the replay and spend a couple of seconds to see the inventory but there is no other way. Maybe in the cup window, MonkeyIsland could add an option to not only put your score "2:0", but also some brief comment towards the reported game, for example "We were playing Flood Race", something that would be visible in the panel where the game is reported? That comment could take that big space that we currently have for... voting the game...? like... who even cares to rate the match as 2/5 or 4/5? People only give 5/5 or 0/5 We should remove that.

I agree with this, the game rating system is just as pointless and unnecessary as the karma system was. it was only used so that people with mental retardities could tryna ease their pain but it didn't serve anything good. but depicting the scheme that was being used for the reported match would serve a nicer purpose

I don't want to be the spoilsport person this time but isn't it problematic that they used the same map 3 times in a row? elemental scheme rules say you must use the same map twice in a row. so even if they did a draw in round 2, the 3rd map should have been a different one?

To be quite fair, its a very simple task even a child could do to keep track of how many turns you have taken.

don't forget Komi that some players do not have 5000+ games played experience in Darts scheme, I can only remember that I play either with 8 or 16 worms and I count my score when I hit the target :q when you throw the worms it's easy to lose track of how many you have used while ur opponent is also throwing his ones

maybe we need a wkwormorder module to solve this problem
