There aren't any in Iraq - should there be any in CWT?

The probability of one of those things (secret weapons) showing up is very very small and if it does then let it happen. It's a shame that the player who got it can win the game with only that weapon but due to that infinitesimal chance of getting one of those I think it's perfectly playable. I mean, we are playing Normal all the way, right? Also, I might as well remind you that to take good advantage of an Armageddon can get tricky... Those things are the ultimate weapons, I say let them be! Until now - and after 3 years of CWT - any report of those weapons was reported and I dream about the first Donkey ever in CWT (who will get it, how is it going to be used, who's taking on the Donkey, etc.)...

I'm quite sure it is impossible to get a donkey or armageddon in intermediate scheme, therefore in think it should be allowed

Getting one is possible in the intermediate scheme, I experienced it in a free for all with 3 players (there was Nithril). That's the only time I saw a concrete donkey in WWP. I saw a couple of them in WA. Armageddon is a bit more common, I've seen it a couple of times in WWP. But I still believe that in a tournament, we play serious matches and only the best player should win. The fun of random is good for friendlies.

I don't like to use these "massive destruction weapons". In fact, i don't usually use bananas or cows when i get one in a crate.
But, this is only my way of play.

We play normal ! Those weapons are out of the spirit of that schemme i think.
An armaggedon is not so easy to use without being totaly killed so it could be used then but a donckey is really too much destructive (imagine a bad placement .... round would be finished in few turns).
I think they are not fair and, as fury said, the one who win with those won't have shown that he's better than his oppenent. Keep them for friendlies and just proove your good ability...

I wasn't sure about this myself when I posted it. But I now agree with the emerging majority that we should let WMD be used. The main reason is that they're so rare, and the other reason is that they don't guarantee victory.

i agree with you here.
most armaggedons end up drawing the round espically when a long battle has been going on and worms will probably have little health to live on even if darksided in some land. Plus they are so random.
