Can someone tell me, in logical terms, why does tower scheme still have a banana in it?

Something besides, "Well, that is just the way it has always been."

for a few seconds more energy

Add a few more seconds in the scheme?  I'll rephrase.

Why is there a banana in the scheme?

I began to wear glasses today due to astigmatism, so I decided to share it with you, anyone here with the same shit?

You look like you lost a lot of weight.

[bfw`pizzasheet] wtf is a blitz

Legendary map btw.  One of the best ever.

Ok, the finish rule could as well be "touch the platform where the finish locates". The point is to have a clear rule that covers even bad map design. This rule change would only mean that players would stop their turn earlier, and some maps would have a huge finish zone (like the map I attached here). Some Big RR maps would have a ridiculously big finish zone.

The current rule is clear to most players, even GRiZ was aware of it.

[slk-GRiZ] 38
[TdC`Senator] didnt touch finish line ;P
[slk-GRiZ] half the people who RR never touch the finish line ?
[TdC`Senator] u finish when u touch finish letters or the back wall
[TdC`Senator] usually
[slk-GRiZ] yes, i know that
[slk-GRiZ] most people dont do that

I honestly don't know what the rule is, I've never actually looked at the tus rules. 
Is it touching the lettering or the back wall?  Or either?  I know I could look it up, but I'd rather be spoon fed by someone who knows.

I've gone by the premise, "The person roped through the whole map without falling and flung themselves at the finish so it counts."  I'm pretty generous when it comes to rule interpretation, I think in 250 or so tus games I've only opened one complaint, and only when it was blatant.  I let most stuff slide unless its gamebreaking.

I wonder if free had intended his thread to turn out like this

So landing anywhere on the home stretch in this map is a legit finish in your books?


When people throw their worm at roof to stop the clock they still touch the finish letters or the back wall just like when u rope all the way to the finish. Your argument is invalid

Back in the infancy of rope races, merely landing on the platform where the finish was allowable, without hitting the text.  I remember roperaces won and lost on a final climb where one would fling their worm onto the top and victory was awarded. 

Not that I was in any way a visionary or excellent mapmaker, in fact my roperace maps seem more terrible to me as the years have gone on, but all of my roperace maps had built in 1/4 scale size platforms to make sure there was no room for interpretation.

IE



An object such as a "F" to me, has always been an indicator of the finishing location, not the actual finish itself.

The map you referenced above, Senator, is a good example of a poorly indicated finish, and pretty lazy to boot.  A 4-6 pixel high vertical line to signify the finish area would easily have made deciding the finish a moot point.

qp rr's are a great example of this:



The short line clearly shows where the start and finish begin and the walls signify the end.

That's so weird I never saw that or noticed it, I played many games with him and it was always chill...

Maybe it is him then and he's just a dork...

Yo homie, you have no room to call anyone a dork when you chill on the TUS forums more than you do playing the actual game.... and you make Dragonball-Z looking ass type "Dart" maps...

so yea, you're the dork dude. word up.

If vahagn and tjerp could see you two now

Well, we did smoke weed almost 100% of the time we played.  At least that is my recollection.  Almost everything seemed chill.

Really? I never witnessed anything like this in the past...

TheChipmunk was a prolific shit talker back in the day.  I remember him and silentmime trash talking the day away in #AG.

As much of a complete and utter delusional pleb that he is, I can't help but agree with him on this point:

Quote from: GRiZ on September 03, 2015, 01:21 AMhow come when you "START" in a TTRR your miles away from the start and not touching it, but when you finish you have to hit the Finish or backwall? If you land in the Finish zone it doesn't count? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of... umm... starting far away from Start? Makes no sense, whatever.

I still don't believe this guy is theChipmunk... If it is the mother f**ker must have been adbucted by aliens and had his emotions f**ked up or something cuz he acts nothing like the guy I used to know...

I dunno, old chippy was pretty arrogant, and new chippy is arrogant.

I like arrogant, he has the big balls.  Never let rationality get in the way of a good argument, though.

Pfff... I brought nearly all the worms games. All together I played them for less than 1% of the time I played W:A =)
I'm not sure if I really should buy a nearly 100% clone of W:A.

Now I'm afraid, W:A 4.0 won't have the (few) additional WWP features, or worse W:A 4.0 won't be allowed by team17 because it would compete with WWP.
Does any1 know if (maybe even when) there will be W:A 4.0 [with wormpod etc. features]?

Wormpot is a stupid gimmick, so i hope not.
