Schemes / Re: I did it? Improved BnG? :o
January 16, 2013, 03:36 PM
I think this scheme does require less skills because a shot that would make 1 point of damage will blow up a crate just the same as a shot which would do 46.
What's the real difference between shooting crates and shooting your opponent's worm? Some kind of weird pacifism? :D Also keeping track of the crates causes an unnecessary disctraction of the real purpose of BnG and it's also another luck factor. What if I blow up my opponent's crate?

This sounds cool as a new scheme, but I don't think it would be a good replacement for BnG.

On the other hand, league BnG does require changes, which should be imho: add infinite teleport, shotgun for making hides, remove every rules except to keep a distance (maps with a hole in the middle can be a good solution) forbid to hit your opponent with anything else but grenades and bazookas. And maybe make in unanchored with a few seconds retreat time. Circular aiming and antilock power can be a good addition too. Maybe the no sitter rule should be kept too.
As for the maps: the more hides, the better, so I personally prefer wider maps with lots of hides.

It's one thing to get it started with investing shitload of money, but how do you imagine getting it back? I believe we'd need much more money than thousands of euros just to gather a decent amount of people to play the game. And there still wouldn't be sponsors, we'd need to start organizing events by ourselves to get anyone's attention. And there'd still be a risk if any company would find it worthy to invest their money into a 13 years old, turn-based, 2D game, with little action and - let's be honest - childish graphic.
Not talking about the time this would take.

It's simply too much risk to start investing money into w:a.

Also, talking about playing worms for a living while not even the developers get paid?

That's weird. I had the same kind of replay (name contains an "ö") for Art of Screenshots. But anyway, there you go.

Losing control of your worm causes a failed turn in most of the cases. But if you do it so that your worm lands on the finish, it gets you an advantage - according to unwritten rules. It's not trivial at all.

Yeah, ending the turn on purpose before the worm reaches the finish needs skill. In these years TONS of challenges and tus rr's were played like this. It's tricky and it needs skill and makes rr's more interesting and creative.

I've added these to my post:

However, I understand the logic behind it, but I'm not sure everyone would think the same (there's Riviva as an example), so writing it down could make things noticeably clearer.

P.s.: Also, yes, by the way, I do think every single rule/possibility of choices should have been written as this is a public league open for newcomers with less knowledge/experience too.

Don't feel offended, chakkman, I'm talking about Dulek:

I can continue with showing examples of your brilliant logic of writing down unnecessary rules.

Alos, what is this if not a try to piss me? A bad try tho, I already explained the differences between a2b and TUS classic league.
Quote from: Dulek on January 13, 2013, 05:53 PM
Prankster, let's add 15th rule for a2b - 'attack your oponnent'. Can't see it and I'm quite confused now. ;s Also, when do I win a2b match? When health level bar goes down for how many hp? Dunno as well...

Also, I'm still not conviced. You are trying to talk about different things in the same way. Losing control of your worm causes a failed turn in most of the cases. But if you do it so that your worm lands on the finish, it gets you an advantage - according to unwritten rules. It's not trivial at all. Maybe starting your turn from the edge of the start box instead of the letters isn't trivial either, but that's not confusing, it's always the same.
What if people back in the day would have agreed differently on reaching finish after losing control? It's more a matter of agreement than logic. It could easily mean that you simply failed to finish your turn. The current agreement is actually an advantage for people who know about it.

However, I understand the logic behind it, but I'm not sure everyone would think the same (there's Riviva as an example), so writing it down could make things noticeably clearer.

P.s.: Also, yes, by the way, I do think every single rule/possibility of choices should have been written as this is a public league open for newcomers with less knowledge/experience too.

When playing on this map, sometimes I just wanna kill its author. Just wanted you to know that, KBA3u.

Of course people learn the rules after a while, that's natural. What I don't understand is why are people against having the rules written? Investing energy into coming here to write such arguments as "sure, and also let's write: attack your opponents", like it's the same thing, or saying we'd making a scheme more complex by writing down its already existing rules... Then calling me an idiot, someone even smited me lol, because I asked for a harmless and easy to do thing that might even help some people... Questionning if a public league should have the rules written.

@Statik: that one is written on TTRR's info page. Did Komo have to go through the same for that as I do?

Well, you are absolutely wrong trying to bring up BnG to piss me, it doesn't make any sense. TUS league BnG should have less rules. a2b league is a different thing, that scheme could never be a part of a public league.

We are talking here about TTRR, as a scheme of a public league, that should attract new people to the game. Don't you agree it would require clear and public rules?
You realize what you are doing? Arguing with me against something that's a 5 minutes job to do, wouldn't harm anyone, but might help some. Seriously?!
