That is what 2 versus 2 singles are for. And stop saying you are a music producer, you are a guy with a laptop and a Cubase on it, that is not music, sorry.

Can't wait for your answer.

Dont be harsh Ray heh, if someone has a passion for something and spends many hours a day doing it in order to someday make a living out of it I give them the right to say they are just that

Tchaikovsky and Strauss were music producers.

Yes, if somebody has the passion for it, do it, it's okay, that's cool, but only because I love worms and I play in tournaments doesn't mean I say that I'm a gaming professional, I hope you get what I'm talking about.

Go and watch Nutcracker. And no, it's not a videoclip, it's a ballet and the stuff you hear in the background, now that is music.

As for the topic itself... it sounds weird. Kind of takes away the magic of clanners. But I guess there are no rules against it, I don't think it's very nice, clans generally are a group of buddies playing together or I don't know.

The site says I played and lost 2 games in the Classic League in this season, although I haven't played against anyone, not to mention the games cannot be found in my profile.

What is this? I stopped at 1200 games on purpose. I also had like +20 or something streak, now it's -2, but as I'm saying, I don't even find the games.

Looks like someone reported 2 fake Elite games against me.

Not to mention the lack of English knowledge.

That is what 2 versus 2 singles are for. And stop saying you are a music producer, you are a guy with a laptop and a Cubase on it, that is not music, sorry.

We are getting some great replays for this year's WSE lately.

Nullum I don't think hiding email will work in this case. When I modified SMF to accept private boards, I wasn't aware of this announcements. noted

Frameworks are so awesome. This was evil by me.

n Ray, you improved a lot for 2 years, and Mablak almost didn't

I think that is what CF made me into. In a positive way, of course.

That may be true nappy, but go on wormnet and see for yourself. Even the games without HB are shopper in at least half of the cases. It's been a while since I seen a guy host Elite that wasn't a TUS game. Same for Team17, Roper and BnG (although to a smaller extent).

So? If people enjoy playing shoppa then they should be playing shoppa. It's not that we have to evangelize people to go the league way. I remember having quite enjoyed playing shoppa for fun back in the days. If you take a look at the most played schemes, you will find a lot of fun schemes, so let people have fun. No scheme fascism needed.

But then we will slowly die man, we do need new people in this community and we are not about to force everyone to go our way, it's about informing people about the existence and the fun of "our side".

When I saw my previous time I had to do a better one, that's a shame.

Yea, also a valid point, people who don't play online think of worms like the single player quick game thing it is. They don't know what's behind the doors...

As soon as they see a Shopper, it's so weird and funny and unbelieveable for them at the same time that they don't take that next step.

I almost cried looking at this... Very big thumbs up to you HHC for putting this thread together and researching.

Each coin has two sides... With the arrival of HostingBuddy, many people got the chance to host games very easily. That's pretty much all for the bright side of that. Downside is that people never learn how to host, they miss out virtually everything that requires a little skill and knowledge, like downloading schemes, maps, you name it.

And people are lazy. Indeed, they are. If something is easy, like a Shopper game, just rope rope bumm bumm haha I'll go to bed. They are going to do that.

Now, the solution might be, first of all, a really easy website. This website, for it's older, more experienced users is okay, but for someone new, it's just horrible, they will always get lost and never learn. They need something that pushes them to the right direction and if they see that, even though it's more difficult, there is an upside, they are going to switch.

People have to see the upside, they don't see it at the moment, hence the drop in the schemes' popularity.

Back then, you needed to be good at BnG to play it, you had to actually do great shots, I don't know why I never thought of just throwing a grenade like bouncing everywhere, but I just never did. It's probably because of that filthy, no-good, disgusting abomination called Hysteria. Darkmaul taught me how to play BnG, I thank him to this day.

So many thoughts I have about this... I can't organize them. But I agree that WormNET today is pretty lame.

It's not your fault, it's a flaw in the site, that's why I notified them.

Some time ago I read MonkeyIsland's post that the site only adds the online time after a refresh if it's less than 15 minutes. Not true, if I refresh after an hour, it is added to my online time. So if I leave for a week, but I leave my computer here, because I'm lazy to always log in and out, much less turn off my computer, and I refresh, the whole week is added to my online time, that's a really misleading information.

Why do I keep getting emails about stuff I couldn't care less? I just got an email about eS, I don't care about eS, why do I get these?

How do people send these announcements? Shouldn't that be a privilege to the administrators of the site so they can inform you about stuff that is related to the whole community, such as new rules or anything like that?
