Creating a scheme is a process that is not necessarily as simple as editing the ammo, the power or the delay of some weapons of an existing scheme file. Some schemes may take years to be developed (they are not simply a file), requiring special maps, several testings including with different players to avoid problems or to balance the scheme.
A scheme can be published or not. When published, sometimes only the upload will not necessarily make it get noticed by people and if it is not explained well enough, people may not understand it and lose interest or play it wrongly. That's why usually a good description (like a real life board game manual), with the rules (if needed), game setup, and details is part of the scheme making process.
If the intention is to make the scheme noticed, known and played by many players, some effort to "advertise" it or at least host it several times on WormNET, or organize competitive events like tournaments or cups may help. Creating videos, GIFs, icons and banners for a scheme is something that many scheme creators do.
There is etiquette regarding scheme creation. Check Etiquette for creativity: avoiding plagiarism and citing influences.
Few schemes become widely played on WormNET. This happens due to several reasons. Put in mind that it's common to players dislike or just don't feel interested on new schemes. Some might have negative behaviour regarding your effort creating and showing a new scheme. So, it can be frustating. Be prepared for these possibilities.
