Peja asked something and I understood what he asked me.
I replied and he understood what I told him.

Yes, you just proved people are capable of understanding lies, bravo!

Every time you lie about BnG, I will tell the truth though.

This is so that people who want to get really good can get really good without having people like you trying to make them feel bad about how they play, like the multiple people you've berated over the past few months for throwing rollers alone, even though you've done it yourself too lol!

It's funny how you say you don't measure anything then say this:

[Sensei`hcp] that was pure feel for example.. 1-2 notches away from 90 degree angle.. and fuse was around 80% i'd say.

So clearly you are thinking about this stuff internally, even if you are not using THAT terminology inside your head(as in, internal dialogue), you still measure everything because you know what it looks like etc.

It's the same thing I do, the same thing most people do, we just don't lie about it and say it's "pure feel" lol, that's psycho patter.

You don't play by "pure feel" but you do get "a feeling", or "thought" once the angle is right, you're ready to shoot. Like, "Yeah, that looks right..."

What you do to get to that stage though, is measuring the game entirely every way you know how to based on your entire life experience, consciously or subsconsciously. You get there by knowing how the game physics work, and that's because humans have the ability to measure everything, to learn from our failures and adapt to get it more optimal.

You really crack me up sometimes Sensei lol, like how can you not know this stuff, it's primary & high school level education, or at least it was in UK.

The funny thing is, if you embraced this, admitted it, you could be so much better than you can even imagine, I'm not here to "mock you" as you've said in the past, I'm trying to help you, and everyone else, understand how simple video games are and how easily you can get to ridiculously high levels.

plz make the possibility of registrating nicknames with passwords and a login system bridge to wormnet.. linked and possibly in connection with the TUS site, or a discord server. with the toxic trolls gone, that would also improve the environment alltogether

Agreed... That, and proper moderation of WormNET to create a safer environment for young people who would otherwise be pushed away by negativity and toxicity.

I've lost count of the amount of people who told me they stopped playing due to racism, homophobia and bigotry on WormNET.

Even had someone impersonate Sensei recently joining a live streamed Cup match using racist words, we knew it wasn't Sensei though.

[Sensei`hcp] i don't measure anything m8.. playing everything by the feel, that's why this game still feels fresh haha why you ask?

Sensei says he doesn't measure anything lol. Of course he does, everyone does, everyone has their own method of "measuring" BnG shots...

You went to school and studied math, science, geometry etc, so you know about angles, physics etc, your brain is measuring those things internally as well, you've watched other people play BnG over and over, you've maybe even played pool or snooker, darts, football, tennis, golf, basketball or other sports which are pretty much the same thing just remixed into a digital video game... A combination of gravity, velocity, trajectory, angles, etc. Once you understand this, you see how pretty much every physical sport, physical activity and physical video game is related and pretty easy to do them all because for the most part it's the same thing done a bit differently using different sizes and weights of objects, different number of players, different equipment, different rules.

Just because you play "instinctually" doesn't mean you don't measure things. Your brain is giving you information about distance between worms, what fuse/bounce/lg to use to hit that distance. Also which part you are aiming for exactly, are you trying to plop, push, or just do max damage? How long you press the arrow down to move the cursor, how long you hold the spacebar down for...

Everything... ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING is measured, stop lying please.

If you truly didn't measure anything, then you would be playing blind and deaf and you would be worse than a noob.

---

I believe what Sensei is referring to is "counting" out his shots like barman did with charts, tables, rulers and knowing how many individual notches it takes to move the cursor into position to hit whatever position the enemy is in.

Nobody does that, even walrus admits he uses the worms sprites to aim, that's a method of measuring, why do you think he can hit shots like he did in the clanner playoffs so easily?

Even as I explained on the podcast with Deadcode... EVERYBODY is a notcher and uses notches, it's impossible not to. A notch is the smallest increment of movement possible, which means if you move the cursor by 1 notch, a few times, to adjust into the right position, guess what, you're a notcher! And there is nothing wrong with that!

Using math, charts, rulers and counting out EVERYTHING you do in BnG, THAT is what we all generally believe to be lame, and gets boring real fast when you realize you're wasting your time lol.

I have my own methods of measuring shots as well based on a full screen distance, I don't have to count it out, i've done it that much it just "looks" right, but I measure most of my shots in relation to that full screen distance because I know where to aim then how to adjust.

BnG/Roper/Intermediate

The cl2k retro special

Which variation of BnG? Normal TUS?

Quote from: Camper on April 02, 2024, 12:52 PM
Hysteria / Roper / Kaos

Which variation of Kaos? The scheme on TUS or the scheme used in Kaos League?

Quote from: Kradie on April 02, 2024, 01:02 PM
Why do you NEED to? Is one pick not enough? Just asking questions, nothing more.

I pick ZaR Roper. But I don't think it will be added.

Oh, sure, you don't need to pick every category, but only ONE per category, so ZaR Roper is fine if that's all you want.

I disagree, I think people might use their single vote for a more "realistic" option rather than what they truly want, so I think having a single vote will have the opposite effect.

Sure you can disagree, but that's the way it's staying. You vote for what you genuinely want, not being influenced by other people.

If they vote for a more "realistic" option, then that's their fault for doing that. You can VERY easily, just not do that.

Quote from: Kradie on April 02, 2024, 12:56 PM
Sensei has started the hype train, he knows stuff! 2024 is 3.9 everyone!

If that doesn't load at the right time, skip to 2:12:10.

I mean, at least I didn't shoot myself in the face twice in a row and plop.



Sensei, we need to do BnG Akimbo again, I need to redeem myself after that pathetic performance lol!

Personally, my vote is for:

NrBnG K / Darts / 80hp

I admit, I've had a few drinks tonight lol...

I meant to say that he's got artillery twice

Not sure why, but I didn't even think he said boom race there, even though I typed it myself...

I've edited that post now... Man, my brain is fried today, I've done too much today.

Just had a BnG with Sensei and it's probably the worst I've ever played BnG other than like 2 or 3 shots the entire game.

Quote from: Triad on April 01, 2024, 10:54 PM
By the way, we'll be able to select multiple choices in the poll, right? I think that makes more sense than voting for a single scheme, as it's about identifying the schemes preferred by most players.

No, there will be 3 polls, one for each scheme category, 1 vote for each person, and you do not get to see the results(until the end obviously), and you do not get to change your vote.

This is so that people vote what for they genuinely want, instead of being influenced by what is already there.

Boomrace

Supersheeper

Hysteria

You've got 2 artillery picks there - Boom Race and Hysteria.

You need to pick:

1 Artillery / 1 Physical / 1 Strategic

3 of the maps are missing from the WxW pack, but they are in the attachment I added to the Cup thread.

MI will add them whenever he's around again I guess.

I saw that too and just posted on CWA server:

It is this scheme:

https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-312/

It shows the scheme number, rather than the name.

Hello!

Hope you've all been enjoying TRL so far! There's been some great games so far! Sbaffo is dominating, I'm curious if anyone will beat him in the Playoffs as he said he's finished playing the Season now that he's reached Playoffs!

This thread is for everyone interested in playing TRL for them to make the suggestions for which schemes to use for next season! Remember there are 3 categories of schemes each Season, and only 1 can be used for each Season.

This thread will be open for 2 weeks for players to write their personal suggestions, then in 2 weeks time we will have a vote using those very suggestions, whichever wins, wins!

---

Remember to keep in mind the 3 types of schemes:

Artillery:

Artillery - Schemes which focus mostly, if not entirely on a players mechanical ability with artillery weapons specifically.

Physical:

Physical - Schemes which focus mostly, if not entirely on a players mechanical ability with movement utilities such as Ninja Rope / Bungee Rope / Jetpack / etc, as well as weapons such as Super Sheep for Super Sheep Race.

Strategic:

Strategic - Schemes which focus mostly, if not entirely on a players strategic prowess and ability to understand and outwit their opponents.

---

Here are some examples in the order of ARTILLERY / PHYSICAL / STRATEGIC:

Black Hole BnG / Bungee Shopper / Elemental

Paranoia / Surf Shopper / One of Everything

Plop War / Trick Race / Kaos

Hysteria / Darts / Abnormal

Forts / Wascar / Board Game

---

Pick ONE scheme for each scheme category, post them here, and in 2 weeks, on the 15th of April, the voting will commence!

Thanks to Triad & Senator, we are now up to 44 maps for WxW, which is enough for now, thanks guys!

Just waiting on MonkeyIsland adding those maps to the map pack manually instead of it taking me hours to find them all individually on the WxW maps section.

Though, if you can't wait, you can download them from this reply, in the attachment!

Use ONLY the following maps for Tower Race K / TTRR K / Wascar K / WxW K:

Renaissance of Roping Map Pack

MonkeyIsland and I are sorting out the map pack now! It won't be long!

---

WxW only has 22 maps for now... There are some challenging ones for sure and a few sort of medium ones, none of they are SUPER easy, but probably easy for top players.

I will update the WxW map pack as I find more maps that are not too hard, not too easy. Ideally I'd like between 30 and 50 maps for WxW. That should get you started though.

---

TTRR has 144 maps, none of which are EXTREMELY tight, or EXTREMELY wide like bonherts maps. There are a mixture of barman, fluffy, alenic maps.

Tower Race has 25 maps, from the best Tower Race map makers, generally speaking there aren't that many great TR maps anyway, it's a pretty niche scheme. This is enough for Tower Race.

Wascar has 30 maps, variating authors and types, there should be no plop holes in any of them, so if I've made a mistake let me know. This is enough for Wascar.

IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR GOOD WxW MAPS PLEASE SHARE THEM SO I CAN ADD THEM!
