Komo... I have in my mind one project. That will be map with explanations of all the tricks that are done in this "new roping age"
You know many tricks by their old names, that simply are not used anymore. Some new tricks invented and combinations of 2 or more tricks got their own unique names because those are used often in games like wxw.
I simply can't replay to your post here because it will take me hours probably to find explanations for all things you asked and probably you won't understand even half because of my bad English... so if you see me ( sW`Rodent`nlF ) around a wormnet feel free to ask me for a game. I will be able to explain you most of that things in game probably.
"
I guess my point is, I think it's pretty confusing having specific names for moves that are a combination of a bunch of different actions"
As I already said in my post... combos that are used too often in normal games deserve their own unique name... Like the thing you will say "I'm" instead if "I am" in most of the cases... simply it's just easier when you are using that combo words too often

And ye... some things that may not look logical to you after this... names for some tricks here are made from names of that combos because they are tought like that.
"IllbeBack" I don't know what is that... probably that is too old name for me... I'm kinda new roper around here...
Some people consider that pinball is made of many pinies... so when you have one bounce from ground that is pini and when you have multy bouncing that is pinball.
About scrolls you are totally right... I disagree with that naming too

etc...
