(Now I can prove that I was not lying about the info of arrow race being a cooperative scheme. I found a page at BTP archive.) |

Bow Race on January 2005
I was looking on WMDB and I found this player StarJustice with lots of maps similar to arrow race ones called bow race. Maybe he is the one who invented the concept. I wonder if Bow Race is different in concept than Arrow Race, maybe Bow Race is not cooperative (but that would be strange, since the opponent would benefit from the arrows of the firt player. --FoxHound (talk) 09:04, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Arrow Race was around long before 2005. -Lex (talk) 09:38, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- The replays I found are all competitive, too, so I have a feeling the original arrow / bow race, whenever it came into begin, was probably competitive like all the other race schemes (FoxHound you made this article - do you recall how you know it's co-operative?). Nice find though. Run! (talk) 11:00, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, in the original Arrow Races I played in 2001-2003, each player had their own identical track to use, so they can compete against each other properly. -Lex (talk) 17:12, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- When I was writing this article, I remember that I found two arrow race maps on Blame The Pixel. They were the same two from AmpSux on WMDB. If I'm not mistaken AmpSux uploaded them in BTP. The information of being a cooperative scheme I found on Blame The Pixel (I don't know if it was the scheme description or it was written on a map description. Unfortunately, Blame The Pixel is dead and a lot of information of the Worms History was lost. The archive only supports few pages of the site. I believe the uploads on BTP were earlier than the maps in WMDB, but only a few months or days of difference. Maybe they were earlier than these called "Bow Race". I noticed there are recent arrow race maps on WMDB too.
- EDIT: I found the scheme description at the BTP archive, there it is written that the scheme is cooperative. However, maybe other versions of the scheme were played without being cooperative, but these versions weren't at BTP schemes section. --FoxHound (talk) 19:10, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
