100 consecutive wins is indeed an impressive streak, but am I alone in feeling that mole shopper is extremely luck-based? I can't believe it's even a ranked scheme, to be honest. Every match more or less plays out the same, and it ultimately comes down to starting placement and crate luck every single time, no matter how good you are. Not trying to shit on your achievement or anything, this is just my worthless personal opinion. If I played ranked games and someone picked mole as their choice, I would literally groan out loud.

Anyway this has gone far off-topic and I do not want to derail any further. Anyone who wants to test me is more than welcome to challenge me at any time.

You're just a mediocre player, and ppl see you like that. Why are you so delusional about your skill and desperate to get some respect from the community?

Respect for what exactly?

How would you know? The answer is quite simply that you do not. You're just making unsubstantiated claims. When was the last time you even played me?

Quote from: Caye on May 10, 2016, 06:17 PM
how many playoff games have you been in, singles or clanners and how many have you won since 1999?

If we include WWP, the answer is still 0.

You are using the fallacious reasoning that involvement in ranked cups/leagues makes one iota of difference when it comes to personal skill. If your argument is "where's your record," that's no argument at all.

Ropa isn't "good" at aliasing, he's known as the best at aliasing some of the best Ropers of all time.

"Ropa at his best was still inferior to me" - Do you have any evidence of this? Do you have any record of beating him over and over again? No, because it didn't happen lol.

I don't care about how good you are now, i've seen you rope in your prime and i've seen Ropa rope in his prime and my moneys on him

Also, when oldschoolers get into conversations about the greatest Ropers of all time, both Warmer/Pro Roper, Ropa gets mentioned a lot, i've never seen anyone recall you as a roping legend...

Now, I think you're alright skunk3, so don't be taking this as a personal attack towards you, you said some stuff I think is crazy talk and wanted to give my side of the story.

I know this because we've been in the same clan before on one or two occasions and played countless games vs. each other. Like I said before, all you guys care about is a TUS record to back up your statements, as though games that aren't for a ranking don't count, which is garbage. What was the last clan we were both in.. HEX, maybe? I can't remember as it's been several years. As I said, Ropa wasn't bad by any means but I always had an edge on him. Period, bottom line. The reason why you're siding with Ropa is because he has always been more active on this site, whereas I opted to completely ignore TUS for quite some time. In fact, the ONLY reason why I initially started posting here was to talk about W.M.D.. These days people act like if you don't have a 'presence' here and a record to point to, your claims are null and void, and it simply doesn't work that way.

I would likely not get mentioned in a "greatest ropers" conversation as my rope style is boring to watch. I don't do unnecessary pumps and triple kicks and shit like that. I used to have people literally criticize me every day about the way I roped because I strove for efficiency and consistency over raw speed and flashiness... and it paid off. I win. A lot. I'm not saying that I'm the best or anything idiotic like that. All I'm saying is that:

A: there aren't a whole lot of W:A players who can consistently beat me in rope-based schemes, at least based upon the competition I've had since I've been back (and tbh I'm only playing to roughly 80-85% of my potential right now)
B: I was/am(?) a better roper than Ropa, but of course I cannot empirically prove that claim, so people are just going to be dismissive about it, which is fine

I do take this as a personal attack on me. You're extremely biased in this situation. Honestly, the flak is really disappointing. For all of the years I've spent playing this game and for all of the times I've destroyed 'legends,' I still get no respect whatsoever, like I'm some random noob talking ungrounded shit. Sad, really. Even when I was ultra-active, I still got no respect.

I'm not even mad... I'm disappointed.

That's crazy. I have never ONCE seen r2-dbag say anything, play anything, or show any sign of life whatsoever. He/she was idling in #AG before I even took my last break from Worms!

Heck, I used to alias people every single day LOL...

I just never reported games.

skunk3 - I think you are a good strong Roper however feel like you big yourself up a bit too much, you're good, but destroy 90% of modern Ropers? No way man cmon lol...

You could beat bout 50% of WA players easily, about 45% you have the skill to win but in no way would it be a walk in the park, you would have to make sure you don't make many mistakes, and there is about 5% which imo you wouldn't beat on a good day(of course you could still beat them tho in some situations).

Now, personally I don't like ropa much these days, he's arrogant and obnoxious, looks down on people weaker/less privileged than him, but at the end of the day facts are facts and he's one of the most versatile and stronger Ropers WA has ever seen, he was able to alias most players without a problem, that takes talent lol.

Being good at aliasing doesn't mean good as in actually winning games. Ropa at his best was still inferior to me, and that's just the facts. I'm not saying I'd win every single game but overall I was definitely the better roper. Years ago we played quite a bit and although Ropa was pretty good, I was simply better. He doesn't suck by any means. I think that my claim still stands though, especially if I am sober and actually giving a crap that day. I've been on WormNET all night waiting for someone to challenge me so I could back up my words, and not a single person has stepped up. In that time I've won an elite, a hysteria, a wxw, lost one wxw due to 2 of my worms getting killed on the first turn due to plops beyond my control, won an intermediate, and won 2-3 big rr's. Still waiting for some serious competition.

Who or what is 'r2-dbag'?

If you get "muted" here on the boards, how long does that last?

What do you guys think about the "unwanted Christmas present?" lol!

I think it has some strategic potential. Looking at newer footage I gotta say that the 60 fps smoothness of WMD is looking NICE.

I don't use Snooper (I have always hated Snooper), and when I jump on WormNET I tend to join or host a game immediately. I just moved into a new apartment recently and I don't have a computer desk. I've been playing while sitting on my couch with my keyboard in my lap and my laptop in front of me on a little stand, lol... sometimes I'll put my keyboard on a box in front of me, but after a while my back hurts. Needless to say, I can't play to my fullest potential like that, so until I can find some cheap piece of crap desk on Craigslist or something, I'm not playing as much as I normally would. If I lose a match, I want to lose because I got outplayed, not because I have a shitty setup right now. I'm not nearly as hot-headed about losing as I used to be, but I still get irritated.

Btw, we all know Caye is Ropa. It's blatantly obvious.

(btw ropa in case you forgot, I was always a better roper than you)

I'm inactive as hell and can still obliterate 95% of wormnet. Not bragging, just simple fact.

Nah skunk3. You're a good roper, but a bit better at bragging than actual roping.
If you said number like 50 I wouldn't interfer , but 95.. That's a bit LOL-ish

I'd say it's pretty accurate based upon all of the games I've played since I've been back. I've played a LOT of ropers, wxw, big rr, etc... I am too lazy to check replay files and whatnot but I'm sure my win rate is over 90%, and I'm not talking about playing random noobs. Devilage did give me a painful loss in a 2vs2 roper and SiD raped me in Big RR (he was my primary rival before I went inactive), but overall I've been kicking butt. I dunno why I am constantly underestimated even though I beat other vets all of the time and I've been around forever. I also dunno why people think that if I don't have a TUS record to back myself up, I'm just talking shit when I have proven myself over the years on many occasions to be one of the best... *shrug*

I'm not trying to fool anyone. Anyone who matters knows me. Why would I make up stuff... so I can impress some alias on a forum I barely give a crap about? (No offense, people...)

Just learned how to rope? That's hilarious. I'm inactive as hell and can still obliterate 95% of wormnet. Not bragging, just simple fact.

I also never defended membranes over mechanical... once again, you misinterpreted what I said. Is English not your native language? You sure seem to struggle with it, you insignificant nobody.
