Season 9 seen more players joining a2b, and alot of games played

Thanks to everyone who took part in our 9th season and congratulations to the players who reached the playoffs in this season:


1st -   Komo 100% - 84 points
2nd -  wormf00d 70% - 55 points
3rd -   Husk 35% - 44 points
4th -   coke 62% - 36 points   
5th -   lacoste 33% - 35 points
6th -   Prankster 47% - 29 points

As Husk and lacoste did not reach the win % limit, 3rd/4th place will go to coke and Prankster with 62%(36 points) and 47%(29 points).

This Seasons Playoffs will start with a difference in who plays who:

lacoste suggested we do 1st Vs 4th and 2nd Vs 3rd with an interesting concept of why, so we'll try that out for a few Seasons and see how it works out.

1st vs 4th & 2nd vs 3rd.

The losers of the Semi's will play each other for 3rd place, and the winners obviously play for the Final.

The pairings are as follows:

Komo Vs Prankster
wormf00d Vs coke

*** IMPORTANT ***

Remember you only have until the end of the month to finish your games.

There will be individual threads where you will upload your replays and final results for the Semi's, the Final and the 3rd place decider, the winner will upload all replays (including any game they lost), this means if you won 2-1 you will still be required to upload all 3 games to the relative thread.

For example:

"PlayerName" - I won "x"-"x"

You may include any comments you wish within the thread.

Any post that does not concern the playoffs will be deleted ASAP.

I personally wish you all the best in your playoff matches !

Good luck and have fun !

Thanks.

I was thinking about some stuff with clanners and came up with a good idea.

Normally, when you play a clan, doesn't matter who plays you will win points depending on their Rank for each scheme.

What if, you could win points for clanners depending on who is playing, and what schemes they have played before and win/lose.

For example, 2 players made alot of points in Roper/TTRR/WxW but little points in Elite/T17/BnG for their clan, 2 other members in this clan have alot of points in Elite/T17/BnG but little points in Roper/TTRR/WxW, and if you take 1 player each who have high points in different schemes, it will average out the points.

I have a list of reasons why this would be nice to have.

1. It would change the amount of points you can win from schemes with different members of a clan and different clans could pick different schemes depending on who plays, make it a little more interesting.

2. This would stop clans from picking a scheme they can win ALOT of points with just because that other clan has players who don't/can't even play that scheme good enough to defend those points. (Yes, it bothers me a bit that other clans keep picking BnG just because I ain't there to defend the points I put my share into earning lol, but, it isn't just me, it happens to other clans too, I mean, I get over it easy, doesn't bother me THAT much I can win em back lol, but it would just make it more worthwhile imo to have to earn your points against the players who actually earned them).

3. If you come across 2 members of a clan who won alot of games in 1 scheme, they will have more points because the other players losses don't count if they have a high win ratio for that scheme, you can try to beat them and gain their points.

4. I think it would be more exciting defending your own points that you helped your clan earn, you still have to work together as a whole clan so it wouldn't affect teamwork or the general idea of clanning.

5. More competitive and unique.

Maybe some players will disagree, but I only posted here because a few friends thought it was a good idea so I thought I would share it, if you don't ask you don't get lol.

Gg shot: Watch from 7:30 xD

"must be a zilian model"

Haha xD

Gj Random, I hope to see you getting all your points back in BnG !

Today I can't use Windows Live MSN, I haven't changed anything, or messed around with anything, I have checked the steps all links with information regarding error "80048051".

I have tried some other things also, I am completely stumped...

Does anyone know anything about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's weird, it shows the 2nd map completely different from the map used, is that because it's the same name? I just edited the texture?

Lol I love the chat from the 1st game:

2nd: wormf00d
3rd: surgeon

Gl next month !

I was reading on the Worms database thingy and came across this:

"Andy Davidson is the man who came up with the core concept of Worms. He was also responsible for programming the Amiga versions of Worms and Worms: The Directors Cut. He left Team17 shortly after the release of Worms Armageddon in 1999 due to creative differences. "

Lol, he quit T17 after they released the most popular and imo best Worms game in the franchise... That's some funny sht right there...

I can't stop minimising in games lol, almost every BnG I play at some point they move and I am still shooting at their previous hide haha, especially wormf00d, that f@#!er does it on purpose

Still least I didn't get whooped by cOKE and can hit repeat no wind zooks Ahaha
