Yeesh, this page needs some serious work! Look at all those uncreated pages! I was kind of hoping I could get some info on some of the schemes, but no-one's given any yet. I'll try to put down some basic info on a lot of them, but there are so many people out there that know more about these schemes than I do. This place could be a gold mine of info. Let's make it happen!

Please....

Anyway, do people think that it would be a good idea to try and collect some schemes that are considered to be the "original" schemes and give a link to all of them for download? Because some of them have so many varitions. Try searching on somewhere like Blame The Pixel and you get about 15 types thrown at you.--Melon 21:23, 18 March 2007 (EET)

How do you decided what's original, though? League versions tend to have slightly modified settings to reduce luck; the 'first' versions sometimes have unpopular settings, and the most common versions still have several subtle variations. Consensus is really quite difficult to come by. Run! 21:22, 19 March 2007 (EET)

Well OK, maybe not 'original'. I mean perhaps a version of the scheme thats more of a general version. I understand that there are many slightly different variations, so maybe someone could put one up that could be classed as a 'standard' version of the scheme.--Melon 23:58, 19 March 2007 (EET)

Don't recognise all of these schemes

I've never even heard of some of these schemes before... does anyone know what Skunk17, AIDS War, Banana Zone, Bricks and Dice are? Run! 12:45, 20 July 2008 (MST)

Not me. Maybe there should be a notability requirement. Or, perhaps, a requirement to actually create a non-stub article if you're adding a new scheme to the list. --Vladimir 13:40, 21 July 2008 (MST)

What is "Worms: Total War"? Someone added Full Wormage as a separate game? Balee 19:55, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Fly Shoppa?

Where is Fly Shoppa? I can't see it in the list. Or did I just miss it because it has another name?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Pac-Man (talk • contribs) 11:22, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Try looking for it in the Shopper article. ;) (Also, you might want to sign your posts, which you can do by writing ~ four times at the end of your post.) Balee 11:56, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Pac-Man 17:26, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion for Unknown Schemes

Many unpopular schemes are appearing here. My unpopular schemes that i put here were very criticized, and you were right, it is not good for a person who want to see famous schemes here, see an Unknown and think that everybody plays it online. So, i suggest: Let's create a page or just a category on this page for Scheme Ideas and put those unknown schemes there, giving more importance to the famous schemes. Or maybe put something that anyone that opens this page put a mark if he or she knows the scheme and in the future, Intermediate would have millions of "i played" and some unknown games almost zero.--FoxHound 23:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Deleted schemes

Trick Race is getting famous (wxw players love it). I already played it and i saw many times people hosting it. Power Prodder is already in one of the Rubber categories of WMDB. Sheep Glitch is famous game of WWP that can be played in RubberWorm and there is already 2 maps in WMDB. I did not put any schemes of my creation neither unknown schemes. Maybe i forgot some schemes that i added and CyberShadow deleted =/.--FoxHound 13:55, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

"Sheep Glitch is famous game of WWP that can be played in RubberWorm" No. Sheep Glitch is a famous game on WormNet2, and yes, there is a remake of it called Sheep Glitch that can be played using RubberWorm, but they are not the same. Even the main idea is lost, which is (ab)using a glitch in the programming. WWP has that glitch, WA does not. RubberWorm only imitates it using sdet, but it's not as amusing, nor fun, as the original. I will probably rewrite that article when I have time and feel like it, if necessary. As for the other schemes removed, as far as I understand, the site currently has a policy to not list relatively unknown schemes. This list is not a collection of every scheme that ever existed or exists, but a list of schemes a new player will most likely encounter. If and when the list will be redesigned, there probably will be place for more uncommon, new schemes. Balee 21:41, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

2. Supersheeper
3. Russian Roulette
4. HominG
5. Jetpack BnG / JPBnG
6. Sheep Fort:AIDS War
7. Banana Zone
8. CrappyCr8s
9. Tube Trap
10. Big Knocker
11. Drown Syndrome
12. Worms: Total War
13. Bricks
14. Dice
15. Dominator
16. Axis vs. Allies / AvA
17. Mole Vaulting
18. Trench Warfare
19. Mine Runner / MR
20. Arrow Race
21. Shotgun Race
22. Battyrope Race
23. Clockworm Orange
24. Skunk17
25. One of Everything
26. Dabble and Fidget
27. Sheeper

I NEVER played or even saw people hosting or just talk about them. So i don't understand why i cannot add a "relatively unknown" scheme if this page has a lot of schemes even more unknown! This REALLY doesn't make sense. It's me, if i put a new scheme you WILL delete, that's the truth. I'm SURE you NEVER PLAYED "CrappyCr8s". The Sheep Glitch of the Rubberworm is not equal to the WWP. But it can do a VERY similar game. Will you rename to: Pseudo Sheep Glitch or maybe: Rubber Sheep Glitch? If you don't saw those schemes in WormNET, PLEASE DO NOT TELL AGAINST YOURSELF--FoxHound 22:51, 9 December 2009 (UTC)!

Ooookay. Most schemes you listed: 1) Schemes that, while not really played on WNet nor famous, has been kept on this article for a long time now, partially because so far, there wasn't any need to remove them, since no new and unknown schemes were added, and partially because people believe that someone knowing these schemes might pop up and write at least a stub about them. 2) Are indeed played sometimes, especially during Worm Olympics, or by people who wish to get away from the boring monotonity of current WormNET. "shoppa", "wxw", "normal" rule #AG. Some other schemes are hosted as well, but these three outnumber all of them. Furthermore, if I intend to play Russian Roulette, which I do, sometimes, I don't open a game named "Russian Roulette", because then a lot of Russian people would join my game, who have never heard of this scheme. If I want to play this, I certainly have people I can play this with, so I can open a game named "Purple Flowers in a Forest" if I want, the name won't matter, the player(s) I want to play with will join. 3) Are old schemes, with a lot of history behind their backs, schemes that deserve their entry in this article even if they are not played anymore. Dabble and Fidget, One of Everything (although this was played once or twice during this year's WO), etc. Same goes for CrappyCr8s. I never played it yet. Why? If you read the article, you know that because it is a scheme that utilizes certain W2 features unavailable in WA. Simply put, a scheme can't be made crappy enough to fit the name. I'm trying to, but so far, no real success. However the schemes removed from the list don't have long histories, and are not known on WNet. Don't take this personal. Like I said, when a new method of categorizing schemes will be used, there will be place for those schemes as well. Until that, please be patient, and don't shout at me, because I don't like that.

As for Sheep Glitch, I think I had come up with a name during WO, but I'm too lazy to look back my logs for it, and also, I don't intend to rename the scheme, but note its incorrect name in its article - although I realized yesterday that it doesn't have any articles yet.
