I, for myself, don't know if I'm able to be playing this year's CWT, but I'd certainly like to get back to the tournament... Still, with fieldwork and the Masters at the University well, I don't know. And I still need to get an Internet connection at home since the Unviersity's is not good for these kind of things.

Hey, nobody here but Crespo probably remembers me but I was a founding member of this tournament way back in '03, when a few hardcore players decided that there weren't enough people in the rope-obsessed world of WWP playing the game how it was supposed to be played. I actually created the original version of this message board.
Anyway, due to computer issues and a loss of interest in the game, I haven't played Worms in any of its many guises for literally years. A few days ago, I was digging through an old box of CDs and my WWP CD fell out, bringing back a whole host of great memories, and I logged on to the Team17 site on a whim. In a crazy coincidence, I saw that Worms Reloaded was out in just a few days, and I bought it straight away. As I was doing this, I remembered the awesome times I had with this tournament so I decide to Google it, and unbelievably I found it is still going strong!
So I guess I'm here to congratulate Crespo and everyone else involved on keeping this awesome tournament going for all these years, and ask A: if the tournament will be continued on the new Worms Reloaded and B: if, once I get back in practice, I can get involved in this, the best Worms tournament inthe world, again.
Also, whilst I'd love to join any of you in a game of WWP right now, my computer won't run it properly and I can't find a patch tomake it work. Does anyone know of a way to make WWP run properly on a Windows 7 laptop? If so I'd appreciate any help you can give.
EDIT: OH MY GOD! I log on here for the first time and the LEGENDARY MrTPenguin is online. Absolutely awesome to see you around man, although I note Crespo is no longer runnign the site ;( Penguin dude, please message me or something and update me on everything that's gone down, I'd love to get involved again in some way, seeing you here has brought back memories of so many amazing battles that there's now no way I can stay away.

A, No, it won't. B, of course, everybody can.

Heya, old school! It's nice to see veterans back. As i remember you have that uber admin login|password to this forum. If so i think it would be nice if you give'em to the current MOD - Joschi. Of course i may be wrong. Just recall some talks with Jigsaw or Penguin that you have'em.

Khamski, please don't decide over our heads as you're not in the position to say something about that.

Khamski, please don't decide over our heads as you're not in the position to say something about that. Nah its cool, I do have the main admin password as I originally created the board, if the new hosts ask me for them or any other help I will gladly send them in a private message.

Haha, UrbanSpaceman! Things have changed a lot! We don't play at WWP at all. I swichted from WWP to W:A as one of the last persons ca. 2 years ago. WWP is currently almost dead. Don't buy Worms Reloaded! Everybody from W:A, who tested out Reloaded, warned me to buy this new version. It must really suck :-) Anyways, our community is still pretty strong. In W:A #Anything Goes there are hanging around 60-80 players at each time. Because of your question: WWP won't run at W7. But W:A runs with a special program "WkColorFix" without any problems. There was planned a release of new patch, for fixing this problems, so the game runs without this little program. But now, since Worms Reloaded is presented, Team17 delayed the release of this new patch to anytime. Our main community for only Normal players is nowadays www.normalnonoobs.org Our clan site + own standing league :-) Beside that, W:A community has also a big league called TUS, www.tus-wa.comMy tip for you: Buy W:A instead of Worms Reloaded! P.S.: You have got a PM

My tip for you: Buy W:A instead of Worms Reloaded! It's a good tip (alas...) Hello again Urban! Nice to re-encounter old faces. I must say that I think the word "grandee" better describes me than "legend" The legend of the old days of CWT must be Jigsaw.

Lol yeah, I do remember Jigsaw having a pretty phenomenal talent when it came to the game As for W:A, I probably still have the CD somewhere, hopefully I can getit working in time to embarass myself at this year's tournament! I got Reloaded as well, I'd already preordered when people started telling me not to buy. My first impression is that its not as bad as people have made out, but has way too many bugs at this stage. Once they (hopefully) get a decent patch out to fix the few things that are wrong with it, it might turn out to be a decent update to the franchise, although it will never quite what be WA is.

Follow the link at www.cwtsite.com to our old site. Its finaly working now :-) Nobody commented the new design of this forum? You don't have to log in anymore to read the forums. In addition, there are also 2 windows now. The upper window contents Infos from us + an overview of your last visited forums. If you get tiered of the black forums, there is also an alternative skin in white+brown. Other suggestions for skins are also welcome. The symbols were been updated too! P.S. Ah, I forgot the karma

3 days ago more or less I took the chance to enter AG for a game and I found Bytor hosting a session. I joined and we went for a match. I wasn't expecting to win this, but it was a game that I did with a smile on my face. First round I was totally wacked, then on the second round I could have won it but I blew it all on a crappy finish move. Bytor won this friendly match, but I liked it. I'm too slow for tournament play and I haven't got Internet at home so I don't think I will be joining the game this year yet. cheers, Crespo

Oh wow, Spaceman! I actually don't know if I was ever here when you were around or not, it was so long ago! Either way, good to see you here!
I actually can't find my WA CD. I'm in a panic!
