partnership means you get money and we want percents xD

hahah i really don't focus on money, but yeah some euros to pay all the time i will put at it would be well accepted. i'd only buy a new headset or mic to have better quality, and give some money for the project to grow up faster. i think free agrees with me about this.
anyway streamers don't get payed so much, sadly :c

update:

304 views of the playoffs stream AFTER recording it. this means that now if you search for Worms Armageddon on twitch.tv my channel is on the 1st page of results.

this number will grow even more after next streams. if we manage to stream a big event every 2 weeks i think that in few months i will be able to ask a partnership to twitch.tv.

this means HUGE views coming (thousands per stream)

the most important thint is capturing the attention

everyone that comes into the channel see the header as 1st thing. everything else is left to your imagination and creativity. look at the channel, you can even make a background in-theme with the header (that would be really cool), consider i can just flag an option to make the background reapeat itself like i did with the current one (which is a bit childish, only a pink worm).

so yeah, worms related colour thing with some text in it (worms armageddon channel, or weirdjack, or just worms armageddon, or even no text, if it looks cool). be creative, have fun!!

Don't forget HB was made for a good purpose, it should be fixed instead of removed. I don't really know its flaws, never use it. But for example, I guess it can't host a proper BnG map and some schemes can be different from TUS "official" schemes. Anyway, people should be warned that it's not almighty.

OrangE, I see you already made a connection between the noob issue and the new project
I'm not really sure about the beginners' league idea. On one hand it can turn them into rule-maniac point hunters even more, but on the other hand I remember what struggle can it be to finally win some league games, motivation can be lost quite easily.
How would you imagine this separate league? Something like football divisions? The first "n" players after a specific number of seasons move to the higher division while last "n" moves down?

yeah something like that! something close to a ranked system i'd say 

TO ALL THE PHOTOSHOP GUYS! Let's make a little contest!


I need a cool header that captures the attention for my channel: www.twitch.tv/weirdjack

It has to be exactly 640x125 px and it should be (obviously) worms related

I'm really not skilled with photoshop, that's why i'm asking for some help. I will choose the best header you guys will make and put the name of who made it on the homepage of the channel. I will wait few weeks before we pick one, and maybe if you guys will do a lot of headers i can make a poll (a little contest) to choose the winner so maybe we will even have some fun about this thing.

And if you make a header i will not use for the channel don't worry, we will figure out a way to use it anyway!

When you stream a specific scheme, instead explaining the rules all the time there should be a textbox explaning the current scheme rules so people who tune in middle of the game, also get to see the rules, naturally it can't take alot of place but has to be done and visible all the time. I'm sure you can figure something out Orange.

this is actually a GREAT idea. tonight ill try to figure it out.

We've had a couple of live streams for Crespo's Worms Tournament. Too in-depth for promotional purposes, but snippets of it can be interesting. If interested, I'll make a list.

Thanks for all your effort, guys!

yeah please you can link it here! thank you so much

I was thinking about all of this and the thought that maybe, and just maybe, HostingBuddy is a major cause of all of this. Another thing I remember from when the community was still strong is that there was no HB and people would spam 'host shopper! host shopper!' in #AG. It was annoying but, they were forced to join our games and learn from their fellow wormers. If they wanted to host their own games they went to any number of websites that offer solutions and hosting alternatives instead of !host whatever.
Im sure we can all agree that HB games are dreadful anyway -- most random maps are bad, all of the schemes are made by trolls -- maybe there is a way we could get rid of it, at least for a period of time?

++ Thanks for all the support up in here!
Dark One: good call on the wormtube link- Ive added it. Cueshark video is made of lulz! xD

i agree about hostingbuddy but i also think that for now it's a very useful feature. the problem is just the community organization.

we should have a better "homepage" -> and with this i don't mean the TUS homepage, but just the way that newcomers "see" us.

why do you think that nlF had so much success back in times? i remember when i started worms: pretty much EVERYONE that was starting to play w:a was a nlF wannabe. well because they had a great "homepage". they looked cool, noob friendly but hard to join! so you would have to train a lot to ask the ambassadors a tryout. all was written down on their site, a lot of videos and nice gifs were available, all was fluid and working.

we want something like this. a youtube channel will bring people, a good place where to learn things about wa is needed.
but we don't need to do everything focused on noobs, we should just do the most simple thing ever: showing what we have. if people will get interested in this game they simply will start to follow the channel and learn things from there!
here we go! this is the "homepage" i was talking about. a good way to open the doors to the world.

A worm can regenerate its own body part after being amputated. It/they simply just wont die. Team17 has amputated Worms Armageddon by abandoning the game years ago, but the community alltogether is keeping the worm alive: The regeneration of Worms Armageddon.

haha i like it

ps. A little idea popped into my mind. A wk module or an internal part of wa in the next update which shows the scheme's basic rules to whole lobby. Let's say if the host writes "/rules shopper" in the chat? Easy enough to code, right?

Much better than a WK module: something like that is in plan for 4.0!

Those shoppers are noob shoppers. Hosts are usually people who can reliably rope, but not good enough for / not yet heard about leagues. It's their little competition for their skill level and they take it very seriously. They're in the learning phase regarding both the game and the attitude, ergo those games where noobs get kicked without explanation will always be there, until that feature gets done.

we have a big project in this direction but let's go step by step.

Then it should be teaching people about the variations of shopper rules and the differences between funners and league games. Anyway, a WK module will hardly effect those games hosted by noobs with a noob attitude.

my vision is about having a minor league for people that just started to play and don't have pro skills but want to compete anyway. there is a lot of people out there that i'm sure would play such a thing. this would bring a lot more competitivity in this game, more interest. and TUS would benefit about this in long term period (more people starting playing competitively, more people will reach enough skills to play TUS). i've thougt of tournaments arranged between that minor league and TUS players, too.
but i think now is really too much early to talk about this, we will see how things envelope. lets go step by step! but i really love this excitement, i can feel the positive waves going, here

lmfao what was the previous link? hahah
