Revision as of 01:01, 20 August 2020
I seem to remember a long time ago that a "Boom Race" consisted of placing a banana in a tight spot and blasting your worm right across the map at various points. In fact I think it had a rope in it - it was more like a rope race than a battle race. The one described in the article sounds a far better scheme (i might even have to give it a go) but perhaps this past version should mentioned if anyone knows more about it?

- The one you remember is called Cannon Rope Race, its located in the Rope Race article. Balee 12:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
RubberWorm Boom Race Replay
I don't understand why not put a rubber replay in boom race if in hysteria's page there is 2 replays. One that explains how NOT to play hysteria. This doesn't make sense. --FoxHound 03:13, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- RubberWorm is a 3rd-party extension to W:A. Why do you think that replays only playable with 3rd-party extensions should be together with regular replays? And I agree that many example replays could be cleaned up, replacing them with e.g. finalist games from W:A tournaments. --Vladimir 04:29, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- "replacing them with e.g. finalist games from W:A tournaments" While I partially agree with the idea of putting up high-quality games' replays as examples, I think that might alienate newbies from trying out new schemes. Maybe a high quality, and an average one could do the trick, but I donno. Just an idea. Balee 19:55, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
