Hi.

You could capture the league games with Fraps if you're fine with having a 20+ Gigabyte replay folder AND huge lags while playing AND if you can convince MonkeyIsland to raise the replay file limitation to ~100 MB per file.

Or you could just reinstall WA... Honestly, my WA is also pretty much customized. I have Silkworm and The Fiddler installed, WormKit, custom speeches, around 200 maps, custom schemes, custom teams. And I promise I don't need much longer than 10 minutes to reinstall WA keeping all that shit.

WA records the games automatically,they should be in your Worms Armageddon\User\Games folder. If that's not the case try reinstalling WA and patch it correctly.

I was implying that he's an idiot. Now you spoiled it.

Okay to sum it up, after my talk with Dario I'm pretty much convinced that Intermediate can be played competitively and it's not as lucky as I first thought, however this only applies if you play it at least bo3.

If Intermediate is gonna be played bo3 in Classic I'll do as f4st recommended and tell people beforehand that I won't play Intermediate because to me it's nonsense to play 4 games for 2 wins if I can play 2 for 2.

Doubletime please, please cut your nonsense posts. Elite hasn't been named Elite by some random guy, there was an EliteLeague scheme included in every installation of Worms just like Intermediate. Both have been tweaked a little to suit leagues better.

It's obvious that neither you nor that other guy you're talking about have played Elite to the extent that I've played it (and many others). Placing first doesn't mean a damn thing, you're clearly underestimating the strategic factors of the scheme. If you've got a proper strategy (piling for example, to mention an easy one) you're very soon in an even situation, the game practically begins from there, not from placing first.

40-50% luck in Elite? Don't make me laugh.

Although I guess this also counts for Intermediate, I still don't think there's an equal chance of winning both schemes even if you've mastered whichever scheme you're playing.

True, But is that enough reason to not include some new schemes? + thinking like that will block any new scheme that could have some potential imo.

Not at all.
There's a) still NNN's Intermediate-league and b) still a fun-part in here, the Free League.
I would agree on having Battle Race or Fort in the Classic League (because it's been like that before) but certainly not Intermediate. This is gonna cause a lot of ruckus you know, I guess I'm not the only one with this opinion.
Where's the 'skill' in killing 3 worms in the very first round and before your opponent can do a single damn thing? You can't kill say 40% of your opponent's worms in round 1 in any other scheme (except in Team17 maybe, but there you still got a great chance of at least drawing).

You missed the point Monkey, I already said I played shite. But I had Dario confirm that the situation was pretty much hopeless. Not impossible but very hopeless.

Why do you think Intermediate belongs to Classic anyway? It hasn't been a league core scheme for the last 9 years.

You know, I just lost to that Rafka guy at Intermediate (I know.. He's so pro it's not even funny) because I started the game with only 4.5 worms. A f@#!ing sheep killed 3 of my worms in turn 1 and severely injured a 4th one. That is, before I could even do a thing.
Of course I wasn't playing a perfect Intermediate after that because it was obvious there wasn't the slightest chance I could win after such a first turn. But yeah, that's clearly not the reason why I've lost.

This is for you Rafka:

Quote03:30.14 <darKz`-> i just lost an intermediate to him because he killed 3.5 of my worms in turn 1
03:30.19 <darKz`-> and he thinks he's pro now
03:30.35 <darKz`-> he said "Dario would win 4.5 vs 8 situation"
03:31.36 <Dario|WantMyNickBack> I've won 3 vs 8 situations
03:31.41 <Dario|WantMyNickBack> very very special situations
03:31.51 <Dario|WantMyNickBack> where the enemy just ended up killing himself, so no credit for me
03:32.03 <Dario|WantMyNickBack> and if the map was bad, sorry dude, nothing you could have done that round.
03:32.08 <darKz`-> yeah i know.. but in intermediate, with all the ropes and the jetpack, wormselects, it's pretty much impossible
03:32.16 <Dario|WantMyNickBack> yep

My point is, I'd like to have Intermediate be a Free League scheme because there's just too much luck involved, it ruins your streak / rating / rank very randomly.
While I agree that the scheme requires a different type of skill than i.e. Elite does, I don't think it's possible to play best-of-one Intermediates in a league.

I'd like to hear opinions about this. And if Rafka shows up here please don't hesitate to click that [smite] button, he f@#!ing deserves it for the chat in those 2 games.

This is the said game if you'd like to have a look:

lol what's with the noobs making up new abbreviations.. Fd is fall damage, not "fake drop".. Hahahah.

Are you too dumb or too lazy to use Google? I did it for you, pay back the 5 seconds of my life in Euros, I'll PM you my bank account.

I know Wooka, I was exaggerating but it really doesn't take more than say 15 minutes in most cases.

I don't get why all the dumbasses think HostingBuddy has to be in #AG. Wasn't there until like a year ago but now all of a sudden random people curse him for not being up and working. HostingBuddy is there to help ignorant people like you to enjoy the game without having to spend 5 minutes of their valuable lives to figure out how hosting works.

You got 2 options:

1.) Learn how to configure your router and forward the ports
or 2.) Get WormNAT2 (beware, it's idiot-proof just like HostingBuddy)

And don't ever bring topics about HB up again.

"I don't like the rules for scheme A because I've got hundreds of reasons why they shouldn't be like that, mostly prestige and honor, cheapness etc etc. If you compare it to scheme B you'll see analogies.."

"Stupid comparision LOL"

lol NAiL, here you think you've kinda owned Ramone and crushed all his theories but in fact you didn't even get to his point..

(Which is BnG obviously)

I love you Ramone.
