I found the thread for clan league playoffs season 1 (Jan '09) where SPW quoted the rules and Hysteria was already mentioned in them. I'm not sure if there was a poll or something earlier, I really can't remember either.

Edit: I found the thread. A stunning 14 people voted for it with 11 against it. Guess that's all it took. :D
Against is now leading 17-16 lol :P looks like people are voting now.

i remember a raw version of hysteria when lex? invented it back in the day.  it was a ton of fun, and for my first 5 turns or so i couldn't even figure out what the hell i was doing.  the one thing i wouldn't have ever thought in my wildest dreams is that the scheme had the capacity to be a league scheme.  I saw it as some bit scheme that was fun, but something i could never play competitively nor something that i could see myself continually playing.  Yet here we are, and that same made-up scheme has become a bona-fide league set.  It doesn't fit with any of the other league schemes.  If elite is the cadillac of worming, the strategic pinnacle; then hysteria is a beat up piece of shit car.  It's a fun scheme, but not for the thinking man.  Don't get me wrong, its fun.  But it still isn't a league scheme.  TUS can dress up hysteria all it wants in a disguise, but a turd wearing clothing is still a pizzasheet.

Yes, separate domain is more SEO friendly but it doesnt matter that much.
What gives a kick for SEO is a domain (or be it a subdomain) containing the key word, I'd say "worms" in our case.

I realize promo.tus-wa.com seems logic for you as you understand whats "tus" and "wa", but for mere mortals its not easy address to memorize. A "-" sign is also not recommened in domains.

We're gonna promote TUS in few places of that page, not just links section.
Reconsider something that an external observer would undestand and recognize.
promo.tus-wa.com is unsearchable, listen to bonhert.  if you guys are a little low in the pockets, ill buy up a domain for you guys.  Just pick one out and ill pull the trigger and redirect it to whatever application-specific literal name you desire.

I think we want people to remember TUS url ultimately? :) A promo page is just to catch attention, but I see you have bigger plans for it :D
people aren't going to remember tus ultimately if they cant even find it in the search engine.

What about w2d.info or Forever Leet website? They include everything required imo.

w2d.info is already included in his list.

One thing that definately is needed in that promo page is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtaMXeFRm-s&list=PL97u1eTiQ3gpZkHoisbMKTLy-1761uuGB

For TUS the welcome text is okay as introduction imo

For ONL I'll ask one of the admins/members to write a short introduction.

For W2D.info I'll ask CS if he could post short introduction for us as he has the whole picture.

Wormtube/WormsArmageddonTV youtube channel - A collection of videos for all your wormy needs! From beginners tutorials to competitive gameplay compilations, you can find here! (Good enough?)

Title or domain. Are you thinking or creating an own site different from TUS? The general idea was to have promo.tus-wa.com or some sub-domain like that, but I guess an own site would work also, don't know.. ideas? Is it more SEO friendly like that?
Even if you were to host it off of tus, you'd still want a redirect.  For example, i used www.wormage.com when the old nbr site was up.  I owned that domain for 5 years, and it was pretty cheap, like 10$ a year.  its easier, especially when advertising something, to say go to www.wormland.com instead of say, www.tus-wa.com/promo or whatnot.

Almost forgot, thanks D1 for tabulating the results!  That must have taken damn near forever!  Especially because of people like me that make errors and omissions all over their ballot.

Not sure if it's a good topic, but the update of the small news section caught my eye a moment before:



In my opinion, it's the perfect place to spread news about events such as recent important games or upcoming streams. But it has to be updated more often, maybe it should be possible to hire a moderator for this?
THIS.  Best idea in awhile.  As this is the pre-eminent worms site with the most traffic, its only natural that stream info goes on the front page.  TUS is the face of worms armageddon, whether the haters like it or not.  It's never updated though, a few days ago I saw the franz-cueshark TRL playoffs up there, that happened what.....6 months ago?

Where's the sense of humour?
Thats what I want to know Kaleu.  Why don't more people find that you voting for yourself in every category is hilarious?  To me, thats just comedic genius.  You are just misunderstood bro, if I could change my vote for funniest wormer right now, I would.  ZOMG your jokes are the bestest!   8)

you're welcome Walrus

- PlayStation 4 to launch in Japan and North America this year, but not reach Europe until early 2014

- We'll know more when the PlayStation 4 is officially announced, ostensibly at Sony's 20th February press conference.

However these seem to be mere speculations, just rumors...

I sold my ps3 half a year ago before I moved to Ireland and now I have a 360 elite, (though it's been months since I last touched it) However I'm a sony fan and I plan on getting a ps3 soon.

Imo xbox needs renovation, ps3 does not.
I don't really see the need to create a new console, since the ps3 is powerful enough to this date.

Actually most game developers still haven't taken advantage of all the power this console can offer, not to mention there haven't been too many games out that support 1080p. Also most games were designed for the xbox and then ported to the ps3.

I personally am not getting a ps4 right after its release which is going to be f@#!ing expensive.

Another rumor that has been circulating around is that GTA V will be released for both ps3 and 4. That'd be great
i wasnt talking about graphics, im aware thats better.  im talking about the party system, and network.  i like playing online with people, and the party system on psn network is terrible, beyond awful even.  If you don't play online with people than it is no problem, but if you are like me, i value online play so i got an xbox 360.  i dont notice much of a graphics change between the two, at least not enough to make a difference in my choice.  If sony fixes their damn network ill buy a ps4 for sure, but they havent even made simple changes or patches.

Ahh i thought you meant something like that.  I'm getting the xbox 720 anyways, playstations online network blows for parties and online multiplayer, thats why i switched to the 360 in the first place.

keep in mind also, there does not have to be constant talking... you dont wanna be the guy where everyone is thinking "does this guy ever stfu"

its not radio- and thats all there is to offer, is audio...
You would be in the minority, jeff.  Go on youtube to some popular commentating videos, and tell me how many sustained pauses there are.....lol.  But I don't know, maybe worms people like silence, I guess this isn't your typical community of gamers.
