MdT are the GOAT Mole Shoppers.

Afternoon Wormers!

So here's how the TRL Standings look after just over 1 month:



So far Sbaffo is the only one to reach the Playoffs, which he achieved after about 4 or 5 days I think it was... While it's a pretty good season as a starter I think, I'm hoping to see 3 others reach the playoffs legit via games played and win %.

We likely will still have a Playoffs with the top 4 to 8 players as long as they play enough games, for the first season we're not so worried about the win %.

Good luck! Remember for the Playoffs:

£75 for 1st.
£25 for 2nd.

Every season, minimum, it could be higher if anyone else donates.

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.

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!

Good luck!

[Lupi] it takes more skill than big rr maps

LOL.

It doesn't take MORE skill, it takes a DIFFERENT skill.

Imo it's easier to beat people in Tower Race than Big RR because I've played way more Tower Race than most people.

Though, it's equally challenging in general.

Free is right, people struggle because they aren't used to it, this is a game of being cautious and careful, rather than full send it like TTRR/Big RR.

Welcome to the Renaissance of Roping Cup!

Hope to see all you absolute legends take part!

New League has started!

We are using the TRL League to begin a new League idea!

You will report your games VIA the TUS Rotated League section.

These are the 3 schemes you will be using this Season and the information you need to play fairly:

3 schemes each Season, based on the 3 different types of gameplay starting with:

Artillery:

Grenade Wars

Physical:

Big Batty RR

Strategic:

Elite

Click on the scheme names above to visit their pages and read their rules!

Playoffs:

Playoffs will be 4 players or 8 players, depending how many make the cut. More players = bigger PO.

In Playoff matches ALL 3 schemes will be played, regardless if you are already 2:0 ahead!

Scores will either be 3:0 or 2:1 in Playoffs.

Playoff requirements will be the usual TUS League requirements.

Streaming:

I do apologize if it upsets anyone!

However it is mandatory that the Playoffs are streamed live!

It will mostly be the CWA channel - https://www.twitch.tv/WormsArmageddonCWA

However, there will be other streamers also!

You can also stream your own match if you want!

As long as we can showcase all you awesome players competing on YouTube after so we can make this game look worthy again!

Prizes:

This is the prize pool for Singles:

1st - £75
2nd - £25

There is no prize pool for Clanners yet, potentially in the future if there is enough interest and revenue.

ALL PRIZE MONEY WILL BE PAID VIA PAYPAL! SECONDARY OPTIONS INCLUDE STEAM GIFT OR A DONATION TO TUS.

Pick Rules:

Quote
    First, you need to find a partner. Then you decide which kind of league you want to play: Classic or Free. Both of you have to pick one scheme and play those two games. The higher season rating must pick first.
    Before the first game start, both of you have to tell what your username on the site is. Missing to do this might have your games infirmed.
    Both players/clans need to agree on the map. If you light up, you agree on the map. Using auto-light up is strictly forbidden. If the opponent picks a non-default sized map without informing you, you can still request a normal sized map at the start of the game and interrupt the game. If the scheme has manual worm placement, you must make the request before the first turn of the game. If the scheme has random worm placement, you must make the request before the second turn of the game.
    After you finished the games, and the games result is 1-1, you can agree on playing a third game.
    EVERY GAME MUST BE REPORTED! This means DoN (Double or Nothing) games are highly forbidden!

It's the same as TUS except obviously include TRL, if you cannot agree who gets 1st pick, then the higher ranked player gets to choose who picks first.

Game Limit:

You can play 10 games of each scheme per player each Season.

So for example 10 Grenade Wars, 10 Big RR and 10 Elite for Sbaffo vs blitzed.

After that, they need to find new opponents.

Why am I getting a "map error" when trying to open this replay? It's not even a custom terrain wtf???

Let's go!

Let's see who can handle it, all of us are going to need to adjust to this so I reckon we're all going to both suck and be awesome lol.

No rules BnG.

10 second turntime.

Circular Aim - On
Anti-lock Aim - On
Anti-lock Power - On
Extended fuses - On

OOoo SnipeR! Loving the Magenta!

I've had a number of people DM me suggesting which scheme to use, with a number of people wanting different things!

So we're having a vote to decide what the majority wants!

Which scheme settings would you like to see used for Big RR in the upcoming season!

YOU CAN NOT CHANGE YOUR VOTE SO THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU VOTE!

YOU CAN NOT SEE THE VOTES UNTIL THE END OF THE VOTE TO PREVENT INFLUENCING VOTES!

Free's turn at 8:06

He used an illegal shot. 5s without LG and/or max bounce.

5s min bounce without LG is not allowed.

It was 25hp, and although Free did win by a very large margin, if he hadn't hit that specific shot things could have been completely different so not sure what you guys want to do.

Personally speaking I'd void this match and replay, that's me though.

Good afternoon Wormers!
