User:Split

Split(Tyler) is a wormer from the United States that first played Worms: Armageddon in 1999. First experiencing the game in the closet of one of his childhood friends' brothers, he immediately took to liking the game(unknowing at the time of it's predecessor(Worms2) and soon-to-be successor(Worms World Party).

A hiatus between the years 2000 and 2004 led Split to nearly forget entirely of his possession of Worms: Armageddon, until, early in 2004, Zippy, a former classmate of his, entered his life and inspired him to begin playing again. Although the four year gap had left him a newbie to the various gametypes which had before then been unknown to Split, he caught on relatively quickly to the rules and skills required to play.

Split's not-so-short lived association with BlameThePixel is also worthy of note. He joined the site in March 2004 after having heard about it from fellow user Zippy. Soon enough, he became a frequent forum poster and map maker/submitter. There were several collaboration efforts between Zippy and Split in the years to follow including, but not limited to the creation of maps, soundbanks, schemes, and missions(WWP). Most of which are now non-existent. In mid 2008, Split propositioned Bloopy about a name-change on the site. Since the advent of Steam, Split had been forced to use a new online alias(Split was taken). Bloopy, after some coercing and annoyances, agreed to set Split's account name to Spleet. Earlier posts by Split can be found under the name, 'split'. To this day, Split still frequents the forums and the ShoutBox under the username 'Spleet' whenever he has some free time(usually at least once per day).

A momentary resurgence in activity among Split and his cohorts occurred late in 2005, bringing about also, further interest in manipulating gameplay. Zippy and Split became two of a very few that succeeded in playing online with the Fiddler via Hamachi. The use of desktop-recording software ensured there would be recorded evidence of the games played online, however, due to the color palette used by an unpatched Worms: Armageddon, the video was rendered useless by those involved, though the games they played will forever be remembered. After their first few games online with the Fiddler, their interest grew to the point that necessitated custom schemes, that they would trade and play online with. Some even accompanied by custom maps made by the scheme maker.
