Rules

• Each worm is only allowed to use weapons from the weapon panel row it is named after + anything from the F8 row + any utility
  • Skip Go is also allowed to be used by any worm.
  • If you accidentally end up using a weapon your worm is not allowed to use, say "sorry", and consider skipping go the next turn if your opponent is still not satisfied.

• Duplicate names are allowed. Maximum of 2 worms per Fkey across team.
  • F1 F1 F2 F2 is valid, F1 F1 F1 F2 is not
    
  • Tip: when editing your team, append a space after the name to bypass built-in dupe check.

• Rope (and Bungee) knocking is allowed.

• Multiple Rounds and Banning
  • When playing Bo3 or Bo5, the loser of each round may ban an Fkey. Winner swaps out offending worm(s), if any, with a different valid key; neither can switch roster beyond that. Bans last the rest of match.
  • e.g. Winner's team (F1 F2 F3 F4 F9 F9), Loser bans 'F9'. Winner swaps for (F1 F2 F3 F3 F4 F10)
  • Banning is completely optional.

History

Created by Goom April 2019, with much help from Auto, GreeN, KRD, Schaf, Deadcode, and others.
Objective was making hybridization of Walk for Weapons's concept, Team17's positioning, and Hysteria's row simplicity.
