The 6th episode of the CWA Podcast has now been confirmed!

Sunday 1st September 2024 at 7pm UTC/GMT

One of the very oldschool players who have been playing since the start of the game, the one and only Chicken23!

A very experienced player with a lot of knowledge about the game itself, and also leader of one of the longest running Clans of all time - CKC.

It will be a great chance to pick his brain to celebrate his contributions and achievements.

Streaming matches isn't mandatory, it's just the live draw for the scheme selection Kaleu.

I request it as a streamer/spectator.

I've got my PC setup it's just a case of spending a day setting up OBS as nothing transferred properly when exporting settings before reinstalling windows.

Got the stream working though it's easy enough to setup for the draw.

For those who like that kinda music I've made a mini EP:

3) Doom Vocals from the 2005 film.
4) Bill Hicks vocals

Quote from: Kaleu on July 29, 2024, 05:15 AMMy point is, this scheme is the only one in the entire classic league that benefits someone solely because they have a better hardware

That is not true.

Better keyboards = better roping, better notching which is required for almost all schemes. To notch the worm into positions for speedrunners, and dyna/mine hats etc.

In fact the only reason I can afford stuff is because I don't have children yet.

There are so many other schemes and reasons NOT to rule out just because some people cannot afford it. Even people buying good chairs to sit at their computer.

Sure, I wish you guys would make more money, but I'm sure if you saved up for an entire year you could afford a good monitor.

To put it simply, it's not ideal to ban a scheme entirely on the basis some countries are poorer than others. This is competition remember, not funners. If you take part in serious competition you yourself have to accept you might need better hardware.

Big RR is the most popular roping scheme right now, to not include it is pretty selfish not to mention just plain weird. I can only hope you get a promotion or something to make more money.

If you ban Big RR then you gotta ban other schemes too because I have the option of using different hardware for different schemes. To remove Big RR completely would be a tragic loss for many.

To say for one screen though is ridiculous, there's Grenade Wars as well, as there are many.

Quote from: h3oCharles on July 28, 2024, 11:32 AMnot sure if "Allround" is a good name for this league xd

I was literally thinking the same thing... It would only be actual allround if it included all the TFL schemes as well as every other league.

I'd call the combination of every league "Allround", and what we call allround now should be called Classic again or even better "Authentic" because it consists of the most classic/authentic schemes, authentic meaning tried and tested and you can rely on it's authenticity.

These players that can win "allround" are actually not that difficult to beat in most other schemes, of course only because they haven't practised them yet lol.

Great TFL players would whoop top players in the main league in TFL. Barman was probably one of the best at both TAL and TFL.

Or, play every single scheme and see who wins the most since it's supposed to be ALLROUND right?

Plus I am on medication that quite honestly makes me feel slow.

I do apologize for giving up, and it's frustrating because Rocket knocked Masta out the Cup so it's a chance for many players to win now.

Very good job Rocket by the way! Well done!

I hope you host another one of these in the future, it's not the scheme I have issue with, it's myself and my capacity to play right now. So apologies for blaming the scheme.

Quote from: Kaleu on July 27, 2024, 10:56 PMThe whole idea of necessity to change the resolution just to fit a SINGLE scheme is just ridiculous. We're basically benefiting the exception and not the rule. Sorry for double post and not quoting.

We are free to play however we want, why wouldn't anyone who takes the game seriously not take advantage of all the tools at our disposal?

I need lower resolution so everything looks bigger in ground schemes like BnG & Elite, it helps a lot, same with Aerial, Hysteria, and Grenade Wars.

I use different keyboards for different schemes as well, Wooting 60HE for TTRR, Big RR and Wascar, Keychron for WxW and Roper. Corsair K65 Vengeance for BnG and other ground schemes.

You can't just make rules up because some people cannot afford better equipment, that's also one reason why I've been doing prize money is to help those people perhaps make some money towards these things

It's not just the game, it's everything going on in my life at the moment, I have zero motivation for playing this seriously right now...

My parents got covid again, I'm looking for a job, I've got home DIY to do, windows to clean, and a lot of other personal things.

There's just no realistic way for me to play seriously in a way I'd be happy with, it's just bad timing for me.

Actually, just give Aladdin a free win, this scheme annoys me too much.

Basically yeah what Sensei said...

WIth the addition I play different schemes with different keyboards and resolutions.

Quote from: style on July 27, 2024, 04:34 PMThough luck, why?

Well - if I look onto a case where 2 similar ropers play big rr and the one is having a bigger screen, which defo makes it easier to play, is brutal unfair. Despite the popularity we should not forget that it's the PO where games shouldn't be decided by such aspects.

So we're allowed to buy better PC's, better keyboards, better mice, but we're not allowed to buy bigger screens for some reason?

My monitor is only 27" and I can play Big RR just fine.

The truth, from my perspective, is that it's a scheme you simply either don't enjoy, or cannot be bothered spending the time to get good at. Just the same as I don't want to ever play Intermediate or Team17, I'd just give out free wins because life is too short to do things you don't enjoy.
