Dave, I think if you took a sample of opinions of the best ropers a few years ago and before, the majority of them wouldn't be okay with external programs of any kind; a lot of the NBR players for example. But I dunno if you read my post, because I'm not disagreeing, 2 spaces is legal by me. Just pointing out that Maciej simply isn't presenting the right arguments to support his views.

I totally agree with this though

a2b Weekly BnG Tournament - Thursday 19th August 6:00pm GMT

In worms channel - #PartyTime

1on1, knockout style.

a2b rules and a2b scheme to be used ONLY.

Rules are as follows:

# No straight bazooka shots.
# No sitters.
# No repeat shots.

    * If you hit someone for 34 HP or less with a shot, you can't use that same shot again until you have either hit them with a different one, or you or they have moved.
    * If you hit someone for 35 HP or more with a shot, you can't use that same shot again until either you or they have moved.

# No 5 second grenades unless used with low gravity or max bounce
# All shots should be aimed to explode on impact with the opponents worm.
# Re-aim the crosshair between every turn, regardless of whether you landed a hit last turn or not.
# Don't teleport too close to your opponent's worm (try to stay at least half the map away).
# No notching unless you can't help it (ie, your perfect aim is 1 or 2 taps off vertical).
# No telecides (teleporting on your opponent when you have low health in order to inflict grave damage on them).
# No defensive girders, only use girders for bouncing nades.

Good luck and Have fun ! - Remember, you gotta be in it, to win it !

Mablak, I am personally, along with Chicken and Avirex one of the oldest players on WA [...]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't avi play Worms 2 before and "upgraded" to WA in like 2004?

Anyway sorry for off topic, nice post Dave, a lot of truth in it.

Well I thought he was playing WA before that lol, but anyway, he's been playing w2 longer than we have been playing WA so that has to count for something, right?

And thanks

very true titio!  most of the yes votes are from the more respected, skilled, oldschool, strategic, players...

(b4 i get flamed... im not saying the no votes do not have any respected players)

yeh avirex, but the most of players that voted No, dont play roper..

What is wrong with that? If I wasn't a roper I would vote No also, because in my defense this adds another scheme to lose more points with... There should only be 1 roper scheme, and I really don't care which, both schemes are good, I just prefer Roper because yes, it's what I am used to, what's wrong with that? But if w2Rope went official, I would practise it and get good at it because I will always enjoy roper games, no matter what scheme is used...

Maciej, most people who would deny 2 spaces being legit aren't jealous noobs, in fact most are probably old school pros who could care less about taps. And comments like 'one space is harder to learn' aren't reasons for the legitimacy of 2 spaces, since you could also say a macro program is easier to learn.

Also, I would have to say that using any external programs, or even kbs with 2 spaces, would have been almost unanimously frowned upon not long ago. But since people like me didn't do anything to establish any kind of 'official' standard for keyboards, in leagues or otherwise, I can't say that people who adopted 2 spaces were really going against any standard ruling they could've known about. Which is the main argument I used to have, thinking 2-space users were going against community-accepted rules, but really we never made those rules ironclad in any way.

Anyway, I'm okay with saying 2 spaces is legal, though I have more respect for people who learn the harder way, on one space.

Whilst I agree with most of your post, I disagree that one space is harder.  I think worrying about 2 fingers on 2 spaces, or 2 fingers on one space is much harder.

As for Maciej's post.  I don't see a problem with him ranting about something he cares passionately about.  From his perspective he has learned a skill which he is proud of and instead of respect he is getting people call him lame.  That would piss me off too.

I think it comes down to the fact that some people, especially when they lose, find any excuse to put down their opponent rather than accept defeat graciously.  If they see fr taps they will probably call you a lame cheat because it makes them feel better and it gives them something to blame for their loss other than their lack of skill.  Don't worry about it man.

Very wise words Cue, I totally agree, I also totally disagree with Mablak:

Mablak, I am personally, along with Chicken and Avirex one of the oldest players on WA who have ALWAYS been active, so saying "But since people like me didn't do anything to establish any kind of 'official' standard for keyboards" is kind of wrong, just because you are one of the best, which you are undoubtly lol, sure you can influence other peoples opinions, but you can't make them on your own, just like me and BnG, people listen to me, but I don't go around making decisions on my own, I can only try to influence people, anyway:

I started out with roping, I have ALWAYS roped on 1 spacebar, until earlier this year, I spilled Vodka on my best keyboard which was a 13 year old Dell, and perfect for 2 hand taps and normal on the normal spacebar, anyway, point is, I tried finding another keyboard, I spent over £150, on about 8 different keyboards, just this year trying to find one that works, NONE of them worked perfect, some tapped fast, but 3 key lock, some had no 3 key lock but wouldn't let me tap and keep beeping me randomly for no reason.

So anyway, after spending this amount of money, and still having no luck, why should I keep buying different keyboards when I can use a keychanger? Or use 2 spacebars because 1 sucks, Having 2 spacebars on a slow crappy keyboard, is exactly the same imo to having 1 spacebar that is absolutely amazing, you tamper with your spacebar Cody, you have admitted to putting things under there, imo this is worse than just having 2 natural, untampered with spacebars, although I still think this is fine and nothing wrong with it, I think it is worse than doing something that is natural, I think they are both as bad as each other, but both acceptable and completely innocent, some keyboards come standard with 2 spaces, what keyboards come natural with crap stuck under there?

I can rope good again thanks to keychanger allowing me to use Left Control instead of the Spacebar, give me a keyboard I can rope exactly the same with on the standard spacebar, WITHOUT having to tamper with it, and i'll use it

With this logic, golfers shouldn't be able to do weights to help out their arms, footballers shouldn't be allowed to excercise and stretch before a match because it helps them to loosen up, rugby players shouldn't be able to weightlift to get incredibly huge to help them tackle their opponents, pool players shouldn't be allowed to use chalk to give their shot more accuracy or whatever it does, the list goes on.

These are similar examples showing that it is ok to do something to help and make it more interesting without taking away the skill-factor, using keychanger, or 2 spaces does not instantly make you awesome, it's a style people are looking for, not a cheat, and doing this, does not make them cheaters or lame, like I said before, it's the arrows thats makes the roper, not the spacebar...

Damn just realised this is a ridiculously huge post, but anyone who cares will read it all, anyway, Cody lol, I think this is the 1st time i've ever disagreed with you... :O

Lol @ Cataclysm, is that out yet? I was going to get it but thought, what's the point, always the same crap, just an extra 5 levels anyway...

And so, you were being serious when you said you wanted to start again on MSN, haha

It's not about twisting words, Komo.

First off, I'd like to say I completely agree with this:

If you don't like me, fine, but stop bringing up the past please...

But then you do this:

And BEFORE you assume, I am not referring to CF, I am talking about EVERYONE...

And your very next post:

Quote from: Komo on August 18, 2010, 08:28 AM
True, but CF is pretty inactive - all the time, and seeing as they make playoffs every time, and rarely play, it's kind of hard to play them

How about both of you let bygones be bygones?

I wasn't talking about CF the 1st time, And I would be more than happy to be he won't anyway it doens't matter, it's over.

Quote from: SPW on August 18, 2010, 09:12 AM
There are always two clans for a playoff round. So stop punish always CF only. I rly just feel hate from you when u speak about CF. Why? Its coz we like quality more than quantity?

I didn't say this is a really bad thing, I respect that you guys can and will play when you want, it doesn't even matter what I say, so I won't even bother now, because as usual you will twist my words, take it too seriously, get pissed off and make me out to look bad...

So anyway, just enjoy it

Hai stat !!! How are you mate
