Talk:Ninja Rope

A page just for rope tricks

I know that there are already some sites that have a lot of gifs and explanations to do Rope Tricks, but considering that Blame The Pixel is dead and some past WO sites do not work, nlF and Xpert Roping Tutorial might fade away with time. Also, I think this wiki is the perfect place to teach people how to do the tricks, even though many gifs might be too heavy. Note that schemes envolving tricks are becoming more and more common, not only Trick Race that have a lot of maps and fans, but I've seen wxw maps with tricks and even Worms Basketball maps with tricks. Tricks are very important to Worms community. A page called "Rope tricks" could also atract more roping scheme players to this wiki... I don't know so much about the tricks, but I believe at least a stub could be done and some basic tricks like Spike or Shadow should be there, since they are very useful and simple tricks and some small gifs wouldn't hurt, I believe. --FoxHound (talk) 00:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Currently there's a repository of these roping trick websites here, which can serve as a reference for what should probably be an article separate from the Ninja Rope one, although as you can probably guess, the issue of documenting and categorising the tricks themselves is a complex and potentially controversial endeavour. My personal, incomplete, work-in-progress text file that attempts this can be found here, but note that other, more comprehensive and scientifically backed documents on the topic exist (in various stages of completeness).

I already saw that Xpert Roping Tutorial page and put some good links to the Ninja Rope#Rope tricks section. I consider myself a "noob enthusiast of Trick Race and Rope Tricks" so I don't have much knowledge like you do have, or other Warmer Contest reviewers, Trick Race and other roping community players have about the tricks, so I was expecting that nobody would answer me and I would start a stub with the very basic tricks, with some gifs I would do from trick race maps or maybe ask permition to someone still active from those websites to copy the gifs and upload here. Also, I would upload some example replays too. I know that it would be very complicated to do that, as your work-in-progress "scientific" document shows, but that is what science is! Science is very complex and I can say as a biologist that there are a lot of discussion to Phylogenetics, Systematics, Cladistics and new tree of life formats (like a modern well accepted one from Bauldauf with 3 Domains, with Eukaryotes consisting in around 8 different kingdoms). So I think wikipedia has a lot of polemical articles envolving science or even games, so I think that if Rope Tricks is something really relevant to worms community, I don't think it would be good to keep only third party websites to inform people about the game. Let the discussion and fury of roping players begin in that Rope tricks article, and lets build that page! I think it would be good if more people edit this wiki, many people who created accounts here didn't feel very confortable or encouraged to edit this wiki, I know that admins of this wiki have reasons to worry about what people will do here, but that's what a wiki is for. People should not be discouraged to edit here, like I myself experienced this sensation many times, and resisted and insisted to keep adding new relevant content here. So in my opinion, you would be an ideal person to write stuff on that article or at least you should have good contacts of people who would know a lot of information about this. I would just start a stub and let the chaos begin. --FoxHound (talk) 13:52, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
