also, u r asking a clanner and suddenly u or ur partner must go, that could be avoiding |:

again, we'll handle case by case basis. if there is reason to be suspicious, we'll try to sniff it out. if people honestly have to go, we'll decide accordingly.

gimme a definition of avoiding pls. its kinda funny how you guys put up rule without to define the case. otherwise we will have nice stuff in the complaint section. does this rule only appear if a player/clan asks for a game and then doesnt play? or is it enough if  i am just online and some stalkers ask me for tus to get accused of avoiding? if i already arrange games via pm, am i forced to show the pms if someone accuses me?

Mods have to discuss and agree that avoid took place.  We can't cover ever scenario in the rules.  I can tell you simply being afk is obviously not enough to be considered an avoid.  We'll just have to handle case by case basis on the other scenarios like you mention.  We'll add to the rule once we start seeing patterns if we need to.

Sry about the offtopic.

There's no rule in Proper rules about the zook glitch where you can place the zook on one's head.

Is this allowed?

I don't think it's in the rules yet, we may need to fix that.  Obviously if anyone still dares to do this though, post a complaint and we'll handle accordingly.

Good one.
I didn't know avoiding wasn't allow XD.
I thought its just lame.

there never was a rule on it, and now we're trying it.

about the picking first rule. how is it at the start of the season, when everyone has the same season rating?

if season rating is exact, then the higher overall rating picks first.

Picking First rule:
When both sides refuse to choose their pick first, "The higher season rating must pick first."  This is to stop those unnecessary delays when neither side wants to pick first.  You can still play the picks in any order if you want.  And if the lower season rating doesn't care, they can still volunteer picking first if they want to.


TTRR Exact Time rule:
Using exact times in TTRR replays to determine the winner is only allowed if both sides agree before the game starts.  If one side wants to and the other side doesn't, default to playing by using whole seconds like in the past.

Using worms touching the finish instead of worms hitting their head is also only allowed if both sides agree before the game starts.  If one side wants to and the other side doesn't, default to playing by using when the turn timer ends like when hitting your head.


Avoiding rule:
If someone is avoiding, you must save screen shots as proof and post them in a complaint thread.  Mods will discuss and if they agree, you can report a free win and that gives the avoider one week of time to play that game.  In the case of a clan avoiding, only the players online at the time of the avoid can play.

Waiting for a specific lineup before even asking for a clanner is still perfectly okay.  Openly asking for clanners but then refusing to play a clan is not okay.  If you only want to play a specific scheme/type, you must make this clear when asking for clanners or risk getting an avoid complaint.

ah, doh 

TUS2 eh ^^

where's my medal too MI    gabriel got his


you really must do it manually every time?

it's more just a matter of being exact.  I think it's fair to count every moment in time until the worm physically touches finish. that's how every other race in the world works, and I think if you're already checking exact times in a replay, you should be able to add the extra miniseconds after hitting your head.  it's not that hard.  I suppose players could agree on this as well before the game starts if it's also divided.

"i pick rr"
"ok, exact times?"
"yes/no"
"when timer stops?"
"yes/no"

if no one asks anything, then it's just same normal rules as we've done.


and if Flori is right, then I guess we can already start asking these things. if players agree, go ahead.

hmm well I suppose the default ruling should be how it currently is, but there are definitely enough people who want to use exact times, so MonkeyIsland can we include this in the rules?  If both sides agree before the game, they can use exact times.

And now that I think about it more, if exact times are agreed upon, they should be truly exact  -->  meaning exactly when the worm animation changes touching the finish (so if a turn ends early with a head hit, you must add any extra time to your score).  sure there is a little risk/reward using the early fall strat, but if we're truly wanting to be exact, it should be when the worm touches finish.

^^ gabriel and I still waiting for our medals MI
