Leagues Playoffs / Re: Season 23 playoffs
February 12, 2012, 05:16 AM
Reminder: FINAL deadline - FRIDAY, February 24th
almost 7 week(s) in now -> less than 2 week(s) left for FINAL


artic/random00, both seem willing to play in evenings, need both of you to give a specific day to play.


cf/mm, well Feb 11th didn't work, CF really dropped the ball by not showing and risk getting kicked out.  Is Saturday Feb 18th 18:00 GMT possible for both sides?  That seems to be the popular compromise.

I was more just describing what happened for the others to see, since I was the only CF left after the game (even random couldn't stay to see the outcome of the ttrr)

if other CF want to take up your proposal, then we go from there. I don't want to just speak for them. so for now we wait and see.

yea not looking like a good showing for CF, I am the only one available right now apparently. rand could only stay for 1 game, so we played a 'mm' pick TTRR so that CF could pick the next 2 games. still hoping for more CF to show ;/


looks like today is cancelled.. mm has agreed to tus clanner others. I'll attach the ttrr replay that may be up for debate.  mm is asking for it to be void since mablak disappeared when game was trying to start, but mm agreed to start anyway and still lost.  now they're asking for it to be void since they may have felt rushed due to random having to go, and mablak mysteriously disappearing.  still, they chose to start, so that means something (imagine if they won).

drama to be continued..

I don't remember what I said in the clanner Komo saw to inspire him to make this thread, but I agree with him completely.  Before W:A, Worms2 played bng with no rules, with this complex cups map, and multiple worms (likely due to manual placement missing), and it was fun.





When W:A came out around 1999, it had its own bng scheme again without rules in its own ranked bng channel, and it was nothing like how it is today. I don't have the exact scheme anymore, but I remember it being more spicy than the current bng scheme, as it had petrol bombs I think among other things (if anyone can find this old bng scheme, others may like to see it), but again the main point is that it was still fun.

After W:A's ranks and ranked channels got destroyed around 2000, that's when the W:A community leagues started making their own bng schemes.  That's largely where our current bng comes from.  Between 2000-2008, I will try to describe the progression of bng.  With every worms league WACL/cl2k/WL/FB/xtc/TUS, it felt like more and more 'fairness' rules were being added to bng up till today.  Someone also decided that all bng maps had to be flat and horizontal, so that stuck as well.

While bng settings may have stayed mostly the same since 2000, the mentality and culture of bng has just gone deeper and deeper into this ideal of HONORABLE and FAIR play to the extreme, that every turn now is decided by the fear of being called LAME.  There was no one person who ultimately decided what was LAME or FAIR in league play -> it just happened over time and no one challenged it.  It just snowballed into what we have today, and now most everyone is simply used to it and doesn't really see the point in changing anything.

I'm not saying it's wrong to like bng how it is today, everyone is entitled to think that.  I'm just saying that there was a lot simpler time when wormers didn't play with this sense of lameness and honor.  They just enjoyed playing worms as it is, a ridiculously fun and entertaining game.

No rules bng will always have my vote.

Oof.. Those roping style challenges and the replays and everything look great but I still can't participate here. Firstly I need to find out how to shoot rope more than twice in a row ;O I just wanted to share with you pro freaks (someone is jealous ^^ ) an idea about a possible scheme. How about infinite turn time but the player decides later which of his 30 sec during the turn will be rated. Sometimes when warming with inf time some cool things happen during 30 straight seconds but is really hard to plan them to be at the beginning of a turn. In this way, when a player achieves 2-3 cool combos no matter when, he can start his "turn" from there (mentioning the exact time afterwards) and then fill the rest of the "30 sec turn" continuing to do decent tricks and hopefully not mess his good start ;D I believe that in this way much of the stress due to turn restriction is removed and way much better replays can be achieved. Because right now i believe there are lot of "damn nice moments who didn't make it to participate" just because of the "one turn restriction" . Just sayin' my humble opinion :)


nice idea :)


as for final scores, I am trying my best everyone. if I ever become way off, I'm willing to stop doing challenges before it gets too dramatic, so just let me know. I'm doing these because I love seeing awesome roping :) it may just be inevitable that the top scores will always be controversial.

TUS Discussion / Re: ELITE RANK
February 06, 2012, 11:31 PM
or give random his own special rank. motivation enough? :)  in the end, it's just a visual. none of the numbers change.

I don't know.  Since I don't have elite rank yet, it still feels tough to get, at least to me ^^
