Yea, it's an interesting gaming experience. If we compare the 1 crate shopper and wxw schemes to the regular ones, we discover some new gameplay nuances:

1. Players plays with a slight lack of weapons, because if someone failed, the next player won't receive an extra crate. So everyone needs better planning their attacks, and use zooka more often.
2. There are no situations when one player gets an "easy to pick up" crate and another player gets a "hard" one. If one player failed to take the crate, the next player should take (or destroy) the same crate, no matter where it's spawned.
3. If someone is afk or cowed (this happens often in fun games), the next player won't receive an extra crate, so no more "cheap" advantage over others.
4. There are no situations when players intentionally blows up a crate for extra damage to their opponent's worms. To compensate, I've added a green barrels into the scheme.

In general, everytime I host, I prefer to set up this 1 crate scheme over the regular one.

Why would I need to talk the same way I write?

Wait, you said that you write the same way as most people who think deeply (meant yourself, obviously) speak. So if you write the same way as you speak, then you speak the same way as you write. L - Logic. Is that right?

Proof:

The way I type is the same way most people who think deeply speak, they say a sentence and a bunch of stuff together separated with commas. After a few moments with a brief pause, they continue to speak which establishes the gap between each train of thought.

You do not see body language via text

Exactly, this is the reason why we need to pay x2 attention to the way people write.  :)

Ahaha, Komodo's ass is on fire now. :D  I don't even wanna quote his last post, pure madness :D

I would also argue that proper paragraphing (in the linguistic sense) is better than double-spacing every sentence. It makes more sense to separate sentences by their content rather than separating them indiscriminately, because I think most people can find what they want to quote more easily that way.

Agreed 100%. But it seems like Komodo will never understand this.  :D

Quote from: Triad on March 21, 2024, 10:21 PM
Bullet points are shorter than traditional paragraphs, and you can even group them using sub-bullet points. I would argue that the new official Darts description is better formatted for most people than the old one.

The new description is surely better formatted and much easier to understand and read.

Hope you guys don't mind me barging into your flame war lol, I just really love linguistics.

Sure, you are welcome. ;D I used to work as a copywriter in the past btw, therefore I could have write a lot about this topic as well, but I didn't want to argue.

flashR, you're the one who started this nonsense a few weeks ago when you critisized the way I type, I'll stop when you stop.
Why nonsense? This is true. I wrote this after you've started flooding me again with a huge mass of text, the half of which was off topic. It was difficult for me to read it, so I've started criticizing this "every sentence to a new paragraph" style. Walrus noticed the same thing btw.

Is there a universal law on how we should read and write on the internet?

Yes there are formal writing / copywriting rules. Try to read any article, book, or even newspaper (damn it), online or offline... And you will see a big difference.

This is an irrelevant statement and demagoguery, you are overcomplicating again. We're only talking about paragraph separation and your artificial increasing post's size in that case. I've never complained you of using commas or 'bunch of stuff together'.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 21, 2024, 01:23 AM

This is not such a strong gap between of thoughts, not worth to start an every sentence from a new paragraph, this is insanity.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 21, 2024, 01:23 AM
The way I type is very effective and easier to digest and more useful in a forum environment where people constantly quote each other, and need to look back at various threads for relative information.

It is only your opinion. I completely disagree with it, for me it looks like an artificial increase a size of the post to show false depth of thought and your own ego.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 21, 2024, 01:23 AM
If I were writing an email, or a peer reviewed article, then I would follow the formal way of writing there.

I'm not sure you are able to do this... Will you prove me wrong? :D

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 21, 2024, 01:23 AM
Sure, a few people complain about it, but most people, once they actually realize it, are usually appreciative of people who speak and write more clearly and efficiently.

I think that the words "clearly" and "efficiently" doesn't applicable to your writing style.  :) I guess the "demagogery" and "overwhelm" fits more.  :)

Komo double spacing every sentence, blood pressure must be rising ;D

I have wrote him the same thing recently, but he keep building his walls of text  :D

Why should one player forcing another to play a scheme he doesn't want to? Why can't we change these rules? Guys, just play that scheme that you BOTH enjoys. Simply and easily.
#28
Stop starting every sentence with a new paragraph. You're trying to overwhelm me with a wall of text again. Don't you know how to divide paragraphs correctly?

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 12, 2024, 12:38 AM
Yes, WASD does matter, at least for me, if it does not matter for you, then this discussion has no point lol.

Agreed, this discussion has no point, because initially we were talking only about the space keys in context of super fast tapping, the rest is demagoguery.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 12, 2024, 12:38 AM
Do you understand better now?

I understood it perfectly and immidiately. I said that I don't want to go deep into the theory, so I'm intentionally simplifying it a little, including for those people who may read these posts later.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 12, 2024, 12:38 AM
Again, it is NOT a macro, so please stop calling it a macro. If we were talking about macros, I would use the word macro.
If you don't like it, or you think it's cheating, or whatever, that's fine lol, but it is NOT, I repeat NOT a macro!

This terminology is absolutely not important for explaining my point of view, so I don't care. As I said, I'm simplifying it a bit. The much more important thing that you said:
Quote from: TheKomodo on March 11, 2024, 11:08 PM
it is capable of doing things that a macro can do without doing it the way that a macro does it.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 12, 2024, 12:38 AM
It will not execute 2 different actions if you do not press it all the way down, or whatever you set it to.

But it will execute 2 different actions if you press it all the way down.  :)

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 12, 2024, 12:38 AM
Yes, it does give an advantage, for those good enough to take advantage of it.

In other words, it does give an advantage for all more or less experienced WA players.  :D

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 12, 2024, 12:38 AM
Also, about giving an advantage over other players...
Why is that a problem?
Isn't it already an advantage that I have a better CPU/GPU/Keyboard/Monitor/Gaming Chair/Internet connection than 90% of people who have ever played Worms Armageddon?
Isn't it an advantage that I've been playing this game for over 24 years and have 50k+ hours of experience with this game?

I could write a lot of things there, but I'll try briefly, because you always complicate, and then I always have to simplify, in order to bring you back into the mainstream of the dialogue.

Would it be interesting for you to watch a ski race (for example) where one participant has a super-modern skis, and the other guy has old, crooked and rusty ones? It seems the winner is obvious. Ideally, players should compete on equal terms. But no one can prohibit a player from buying anything and upgrading PC. Right? So any peripheral is okay. If you have 24 years of experience, then you're awesome, that's a fair advantage, because it's about skill, perseverance, patience and more, so it's okay as well. But we can prohibit using all kind of macros, as well as setting up 2 actions to one key. It's an unfair advantage. In some cases, it can even manipulate the game engine, allowing you to tap faster than the developers intended. I'm not talking about Wooting and its technologies, I'm talking about macros and scripts that allow you to press one space key and shoot a rope when another space key is already pressed.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 12, 2024, 12:38 AM
It doesn't matter if you think it's cheating, it's literally NOT cheating unless the owner of this League, or the developers of Worms Armageddon label it as cheating.
You are neither, so you don't get to decide.

Ow seriously... I'm just used to live in a democratic society, but it seems like you have an autocracy here, guys. Not only the developers and the owner of the league plays this game. Therefore It does matter and I consider myself in the right to propose some amendments. If you think that only developers has the rights to say their opinions about rules, then I would wish you to play with each other, guys, it would be very exciting. Developer vs the league owner or developer vs another developer. Fun. I'm surprised that this statement was written by a person who declares his goal is building big and healthy community.

By the way, sensei is still silent. He has not explained which macros and scripts are not allowed. Seems like a simple question. Probably you scared him with walls of text haha.  :D

I did use wkRemapKeys there, but part of the point of that review is to show the keyboards capabilities.

Where? I've watched almost full video and didn't see this.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 11, 2024, 11:08 PM
I use WASD for roping, and it doesn't matter if I use wkRemapKeys or do it with the Wootility software, the end result is the same.

WASD doesn't matter. I didn't talk about WASD at all. In this discussion the only space keys does matter in the context of unnatural fast tapping.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 11, 2024, 11:08 PM
Actuation point is something you can mod with any keyboard by putting o-rings or paper etc underneath the key so that the actuation point is shorter meaning you can twitch faster.
That's what Anubis done back in the day, that's what Mablak does as well puts little paper balls under his keycaps.

Actuation point on normal keyboards doesn't make as much sense as it does on keyboards with rapid trigger. I have some O-rings and I've tried it on my mechanical keyboard. I barely felt any difference. The only noise from the keys has decreased a little, but even then it felt more like a placebo. But I couldn't get used to this actuation point of the red switches and I have switched back to my old membrane keyboard.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 11, 2024, 11:08 PM
The rapid trigger doesn't make your taps faster, it makes the window of error larger. This works in harmony with a low actuation point.

Really? Was it true even when you created a macro for 2 actuation points for the one key? In fact, you put 2 spacebar activations on the one button.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 11, 2024, 11:08 PM
The other thing, which you call "macros" which are not actually macros is called "Dynamic Keystroke".

I don't want to go deep into theory. Who cares how it's called if the result is almost the same? Anyway these macros (or not macros, who cares?) gives big advantage over an other players who does not use it.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 11, 2024, 11:08 PM
When you activate a macro, it does multiple things with 1 signal.

Yes. And you have set 2 actions to one key by using different trigger points. It's almost the same as a macro, but much more advanced. If we call a macro is a cheat, then why is an "advanced" macro not a cheat?

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 11, 2024, 11:08 PM
It is not a macro, but it is capable of doing things that a macro can do without doing it the way that a macro does it.

True.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 11, 2024, 11:08 PM
For example, in Roper, you can set up 1 key with dynamic keystrokes so you can do multiple things together.

I believe that set up multiple actions to one key is cheating, as I said before.

Quote from: TheKomodo on March 11, 2024, 11:08 PM
Yes, this keyboard is OP at a top tier level, and yes, it would give players good enough a useful advantage but no, it is not technically cheating, unless someone makes up new rules specifically banning this, but either way, you cannot detect it using normal methods that finds macros, because it's not macros lol.

I'm not going to argue, my point of view is unbreakable there. I also understood your point. We still won't prove anything to each other anymore lol.  :D Thank you at least for your honesty.

wkRemapKeys is the very reason I started roping again. To finally have an internal key remapper for Worms Armageddon, a feature which most video games have as standard!

You haven't used wkremapkeys there. You was using the firm software (wootility) all the time in this video. As I said, I suspect that many of these firm programs can manipulate the game engine. At least because you can create macros there, and that's what you did later. You've created a several macros, based on rapid trigger technology, and your taps became ~2 times faster. You couldn't reach that fast tapping on the default settings. Therefore I think that using this rapid trigger based macros (and macros at all) is tantamount to cheating.

This keyboard is quite rare and expensive. I don't really think that every player with unnatural fast taps uses this keyboard.

Quote from: Kradie on March 11, 2024, 07:46 AM
There are only a handful of people who I can count on one hand who has super fast taps and can keep that up consistently. One of these people have openly admitted that they rely on ''specific tool' to rope better because their ''hand'' or whatever can't keep up. At least that's how I understood it at the time. Then there are other people with fast taps that can be extremely toxic, or have accused me to have used cheats.

I wasn't surprised when I read about a "specific tool". Briefly, these "tools" are:

1. Broken wormkit modules like wkautokeys. Perhaps someone have managed to get it work on 3.8.1.
2. Special AHK-scripts that can manipulate the game engine. This doesn't apply to simple AHK-scripts. A normal remap via AHK works fine and honestly, as well as wkremapkeys.
3. Macros written via firm tools of certain keyboards or another 3rd party tools.
4. Constipated Silkworm. I haven't tested it, because I even couldn't run it on Windows 11, but probably someone have managed to get it work on modern systems.
Quote from: Korydex on March 09, 2024, 09:17 PM
this old program maybe? https://worms2d.info/Constipated_Silkworm
5. Speedhacks. I've never tried it, I guess it can only works offline (usable for RR and TTRR challenges for example).

This is all the information I have managed to find and summarize. Btw I've just googled a very interesting post:
