Not as a replacement for the current clan league, but perhaps MI can code the cups in a way that not only individual players can sign up but entire teams. (Team captain signs up and lists 2 (or 3) other players who are also part of the team). And then business proceeds as usual. With one exception: games are played at set times.


Clan league would then stay as it is now (and leave it as it is or until we find a good solution), while the team-cups would allow 'clan'-games to take place in a setting where the scheme is pre-set (no more picks and points raping) and people would be free to choose which team they like to be part of.
Superactive clans could enter 2, or even 3 teams. Inactive clans could 'hire' players to fill up their roster, etcetera. Could be nice  

team captains in cups best idea in this thread IMO

Thought IBB founded worms league, not HHC.  Or maybe this is just a misconception I've had all these years.

Glad you put on some shorts for the third picture, after the first two, i felt like there was going to be a large helping of cock in my future

Howcome when DoubleTime used to do this constantly, no one cared, and then when someone who is known to usually be well meaning, smart, clever, patient and understanding, messes up ONE time, held at the stake, while the guy who really is an asshole, gets away with it?

You people really need to stop being so blindingly biased.

This.  As with anything, the truth lies closer to the middle.  Shy isn't a bad person, his fish probably died or something that day.

With that kind of money, you would have been able to buy a piano and learn what music is. You are a professional, but your views on SoundCloud - or whatever that is - is around 100? Don't make a joke out of yourself.

Producing music requires such skills and knowledge that only a very few of us would be able to learn. Not to mention that that, "my friend", has nothing to do with music. Music is done with instruments, not a computer and some softwares.

Please attach those references from those professional music producers.

Ray, I want to start off by asking you, what is your problem? What have I done to you that causes you to criticise me in this manner? If what you were saying is true that I am just some guy with 100 views on SoundCloud with a laptop and cubase, it wouldn't bother me because it would be true, but you didn't even question me before you attacked me, you know almost nothing of my musical background, I took lessons in piano, keyboard, drumming, trumpet, guitar, flute, recorder, I have used wooden instruments I can't remember the name of and even recored triangles etc for my own sound library, I have been studying hard theorys of music over the last 12 months and it's starting to pay off for me.

I don't advertise my music anywhere except TuS, when I finish a song I will paste the link once in #AG no matter what time of day, and I am a member of a private production website which I respect too much to say with words, it's no surprise my music doesn't have alot of views, I am not a desperate asshole who wants to become famous and waste his life away, music is my life now, it saves me everyday, it's took me too long to realise that but I am working ever so hard and passionate now, I want to be involved in more genres of music such as country classical jazz rock indie maybe even make a cheesy pop song someday for a laugh.

Since the start of uploading my music to my YouTube account I think last Summer-ish i've had around 1500-2000 plays on YouTube, and i've only advertised it to this community and a few friends at work.

I take great pride in the fact people are starting to suggest my music is polished enough to be considered professional, even though I personally believe I ain't even close to being as good as I want to be, and I still find flaws in every piece of work, I am constantly paranoid people won't like my music or make fun of me but I don't care, those few people who actually like my music give me the inspiration to carry on and keep getting better, I believe I have what it takes, I have issues with my life as a person I need to improve on, I am trying my best to be a hard working honest person on this planet which let's face it can be very scary lonely confusing and frightening at times, I am not the kind of person who believes in fate or anything, but if theres anything about my life which I feel like it's just meant to be, it's the fact that I am so involved in music.

One of my songs may be getting played on local radio next month, if it does, it will be a major achievement for me and the beginning of what I am hoping with every inch of my body will be the greatest journey of my life, I am so nervous and paranoid it's freeking me out, I am not even fully sure I want to go ahead with it...

I have been "producing" music for around 10 years now through means of computers etc.

Like I said before, I have been playing instruments my whole life, although not professional or expert at either, it's helped me understand instruments alot better and how to use them together, not to mention countless other little ideas that is the madness of my mind.

My 1st encounter with an instrument was when I was 7 years old, my Dad got my a little tiny electric keyboard with a soundbank of 20 or 30 sounds for my birthday cuz they found it at some jumble sale, the 1st thing I done was play the 1st 6 notes of the flintstones themetune perfectly supposedly, it was my favourite toy for years, then my mum decided to put me in keyboard classes, I can't remember what grade I achieved but I remember learning Fur Elise and canon and the entertainer, properly with both hands, I can only play some of fur elise now, I can sorta play canon, and I can't even remember how to play entertainer past the 1st part.

I took music at school, and was regulary quite popular for playing the piano before our teacher came into class while this nutter Nick done gymnastic crap back flipping n stuff from the tables n stuff it was mad lol, I remember playing Scotland the Brave and the teacher was like, GET OUTSIDE YOU HORRIBLE LITTLE BOY AND WHEN MR CHRISTIE COMES ROUND YOU CAN TELL HIM WHY YOU ARE STANDING THERE, and all I done was play the piano, and pretty well lol, but he came out a minute later and was like, i'll be honest with you, I didn't know you could play the piano, I thought you were just a little nuisance, he was pretty impressed, he actually let me play for the last few minutes of class for the rest of the pupils every now and then.

I have so many memories, so many stories about music, now that i've started thinking about it, I am starting to remember things I thought i'd forgot forever, like this little dictaphone thing, me and my mates were out smoking dope one day, like 14-15 years old or something, and we ran out of cigs to roll joints with, and my mate lee was like, "av got drum baccy mate, will that dae?" and I was like, "hmmm, a drum joint eh.." then all of a sudden I pulled out the dictaphone and started recording, the chorus was like "what about drum joints, have you ever had one?" I still have that dictaphone somewhere I gotta look it out and try and record it, man that shits insanely funny...

I was on a radio station called Youth FM for a few weeks, I won a competition from our local cyber cafe, where I started playing WA actually lol, i still have the T-Shirt, and my mum has all the media stuff, pictures and things, I am sure there is stuff on the net about it somewhere. Then a few people who were part of it were selected to go do another thing which sadly I can't even remember... Well, I remember this girl Chloe lol, man she was so beautiful and I was such a pussy to make a move on her, no f@#!ing wonder with my dad doing my haircuts at that age... Pfft...

I have so much to tell you, if you would listen, I just don't understand how you can say the things you did without even asking me about my background or history... Well, I hope you are satisfied, doesn't really matter, because I am satisfied, I am lucky, I could not be happier, and I have so many people to thank, and so many people I wish I could meet again...

Edit:

Just checked my SoundCloud page, i've only opened the account about 3-4 months ago:

Plays    1113
Comments    25
Favoritings    1
Downloads    10
Profile Views 1157

I've deleted Around 15 tracks which had around 6 favourites, 10 downloads, and 500-600 plays, with about 10 comments(just a guess by the way, could be more, could be less, but it's a good estimate I think). Not that it matters to me, cuz I deleted them lol, but you obviously need statistics to be impressed.

Coming to think about it, i'm very happy with that with only having informed TuS, a few friends, and a private website, get it up ye !

I remember when I couldn't tell you and DarkIce apart back in the day when I first started playing.  Now you are undoubtedly one of the friendliest bastards to ever play this game.  I can't take you seriously when you get frustrated with people because its like being yelled at by a teddy bear.  Happy 30 my friend, ill be there very soon as well.

i miss being in ckc and miss the www/ckc days

What about EEK? 

im with you there komo, i havent played in 6 months, i like being a part of the community more than i do actually playing worms, lol. 

Id hire you but the clan im in doesnt play clanners huahuzhua.  But in all reality, to me, there is nothing wrong with that.  Do your thing Dave, and maybe get on msn once in awhile, i have been using that lately.  
On another note, I remember a time when theone and i used to pretend to be you and sammyj or something stupid and win clanners for sfx  aliasing was cool once upon a time, now you can just be a mercenary for hire.  GET IT DAVE
