Oi..

Yea I made it. Was a bit of miracle because I really didnt think it's possible for me to sink into this again and work with twice as much content as in Costage 2, given that I dont have nearly as much time as I used to and focus on that, but it's there. Ready.. Thank gods it went slick, without major problems and in a rather very short timespan.

Apologies for the movie lenght, though I wanted to use all of my gathered content from the past few years (mostly 2014 and 2015) and simply be done with it, because there is very little chance I will make it again anytime in the future. First I'd have to get into WA again, which is one thing, then use my time and focus to collect some decent ideas for how it's gonna look so it's not a pure copy-pasta, and then sit to movie making again.

Thanks goes to KRD and OutofOrder for feedback and support, and for being the best parents world has ever seen. And thanks to Korydex for bugging me to do the WA movie for a few years!

Hope you enjoy.. and actually watch the WHOLE thing!

Ohh and excuses for not making the Intermediate scene compilation as promised some time ago, but you know, one thing at a time and a coin toss decided, really..

Hai. There was an issue with uploading replay files on Worst Shot Ever website - any submission attempt returned blank page and failed to upload replay to the server, which means there were no submissions since October 1st. If you were a victim of the f@#!ing white page, you can re-upload your stuff from now on (only replays dating back to October OF COURSE), otherwise these flowers of yours will be gone forever, because the only way to seal these f@#!ups is to submit them to WSE kk?

Ah, and it wasnt my fault. And i learned about the issue just 2 days ago (only Korydex reported it to me).

Awards are up http://wse.worms2d.info/2015.php

Plenty of people play it nowadays, wondering if some of you too

My battletag Merzbau#2527

Past WSE submissions are now playable on YouTube and of course future awards will be there as well. Props to Auto for helping us making it happen

Submissions (and quality) to the Worst Shot Ever are falling down each year. I dont know if its due to coincidence, lost interest in submitting replays or simply WA players are way too good to fail after all these years. Its been 5 months since 2013 results and compared to past years its crawling very poorly.

Some stats:

2012 - 17 categories, 85 accepted submissions, 159 submissions total
2013 - 13 categories, 53 accepted submissions, 135 submissions total
2014 - 11 acceptable submissions (can be less), 29 submissions total (during 5 months period)

Since Run has founded the WSE project it allways was about quality and not the quanity, but this year, if nothing is going to change, it will be even tough to pick the quality stuff among the short list of submitted blunders.

Please let your friends know about The Worst Shot Ever and tell them to play bad!

Zzzz dunno if the scheme file is original, but its damn frustrating. Isnt it better to have unlimited turn time/rope count and give big penalty for using a rope? Skip every 2 attaches blows. On the other hand it might be frustrating to count all these attaches xd

Bring Inter on TUS and next day you will have edited maps

I recommend dling .mp4 file, have fun.

Signups are open and thanx

Cool, but did you test the upper right part thoroughly? I have a feeling theres only 1 jump possible, which is random. You can make it on first try or after 40+ seconds

"This map has no author on TUS. (Downloaded 44 time(s))"

?

Also interesting armageddon in first game xd

First of all im not sure if its a good idea to run such debate in public, but sooner or later we will need some agreement. Anyway community input and possibly some clever ideas can be crucial.

So the point of this topic is to find scheme that will meet conditions of a league, at the same time being fun, complete and without unnecessary tweaks that makes gameplay chaotic and totally unpredictable. Hysteria variation with turn time extended to 3 seconds and reworked weaponry sounds the most optimal as mentioned multiple times in other topics. Those who wonder how it plays may see some replays from recent Aerial cups/tournaments.

First i'll write down my proposition as for a start (note that its just a raw starter without any testing) and everyone is welcome to suggest any change, but please lets stay rational and try to not go above the limits. Too little can make the game repetitive and too much will make it overwhelming/chaotic. So, here it goes:

--------------------------------------------

Jetpack - Inf.
Low Gravity - Inf.

F1

Bazooka - Inf.

F2

Grenade - Inf.

F3

Shotgun - Inf.
Uzi - ?  - that one could be useful but for now, without deeper testing ill leave it empty
Longbow - ? - as above

F4

Fire Punch - Inf.
Kamikaze - 1 - im aware of this weapon being too powerful in some situations, however imagine the beautiful Jetpack-Kami combos

F5

Mine - Inf.
Dynamite - 1 - delay 2 turns for the sake of not going too mad at the beginning
Mole - 3 - situational weapon, hardcore darksiders must be aware of that one

F7

Blowtorch - Inf.
Pneumatic Drill - situational
Girder - 3 - good addition for darksiding, also short timer makes its use tricky

F8      

Teleport - 5

F9

Flamethrower - 1

F10

Petrol - 3

F11          

Granny - 1 - delay 2 turns

F12

Select Worm  - 1 - just 1 as a counter or rescue in some situations

Other

Starting Energy - 100
Land Objects - Mines - 8
Mine fuse - 3s
Round lenght - 2min
Turn Lenght - 3sec
Hotseat - 10sec
Land/Rope retreat - 5sec
Crates - None
Placement - Random
Sudden Death - Medium water rise
Number of worms - 4 or 6

Scheme file: https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-774/

--------------------------------------------

Just for the record - there is no rush and im aware that this case can be forgotten quickly and many people wont bother to participate, i just hope that something really good can come out of this one. When time is right we may host some cups to gather the better replays / dig scheme flaws / anything that will push it into perfection. I strongly believe that its the proper way to go and one day we will see it in classic league.

Ideas!

Ill invite some people when its approved, it wont be huge tho.

Start at 15:28 then pay attention to chat and game for next 3 turns of mine

dC refuses to rematch without handicap after van's drop.

Basically there was no handicap - van kills 11hp worm with easy nade on his turn (he dropped just before that) and its 1hp/100hp vs 45hp(skunked and blocked)/100hp. Chances are even. Weaponry is even. They want handicap (can someone explain me what handicap is in such situation?), we want to rematch from the beggining. They reported it without replaying. Additionaly they insulted us in meantime.

This is how teamchat ends up in the middle of the turn, i went for sheep then changed my mind for sg, as van suggested. But check this out anyway, around 20:00 min mark just after sd.

Not sure what to write here... just try it out, save some good replays and brag here.
To save replay you will need game account and then all of them will be stored in your profiles, then just copy link to the replay or your profile  and link it.
