Worms: Armageddon
WormNET


What's Wormnet?
Wormnet is a network of servers connected so you can see all players logged on, and be able to play and chat with them online. You can either play ranked games to earn points, or friendly - nonranked. As you win and/or lose, you earn points and/or lose points. Symbols by players names show what rank they have, and the ultimate is Elite, when you have three stars. Different channels have different settings, and you can also host games and use your own settings in a nonranked channel.

Serv's Flag league
10 of the flags I submitted to Martyn Brown before the release of W:A, actually got into the real game. I'm writing down statistics on the usage on WormNET of these flags, and it's all here for you to take part of! I'll update this when I see more users, and if you use one of the flags listed here, feel free to mail me, and I'll add your flag usage here aswell!

If you wanna know, I stopped telling people who use my flags that I made them. If I told them they might quit using my flags, and I don't want that to happen. :)

Flaming health bars
One the most frequent questions I get when playing on WormNET, is why my health bar is all flamy. I'm getting sick and tired of answering that question all the time, so here's a little info about the subject:

: A red fiery health bar of a player's team states that - 1. He/She betatested the W:A patch to see if it worked correctly, and therefore got this as a "wormy gift" :)
2. He/She is in Team 17, the producers of the game.
3. He/She got it as a reward for being #1 in a certain ranked channel at the time it was reset.

: A blue fiery health bar of a player's team states that he/she is elite, and has 250 points or more in the AM/PRO/Elite league. Now I hope I cleared that matter up for anyone who didn't know about it.

Acronyms
If you play in ranked channels especially on Wormnet, you might have come across any of these weird shortened words. Read this guide and those things will be cleared up.

gl = Good Luck. Used in the beginning or before a game, as friendly wishing the other player good luck. Oftenly answered by u2 or anything like that. Another form of it is gl + hf which gives the phrase an added 'Have Fun'.

gg = Good Game. Used after a game to state that the game they just played was good, and well played by both sides. Sometimes used just to be friendly. Oftenly answered by another gg or, the new cg or bg. I'll leave it to you to find out what those mean.

wtf = What The F**k. Used when something that disturbs or confuses the player occurs.

brb = Be Right Back. Used when a player is going away from the computer to return shortly.

rtfm = Read The F**king Manual. Used when a 'newbie' player asks a stupid question about anything that is very well described in the manual.

cya = See you. Like "Bye". Used when someone leaves or you leave.

np = No Problem. Used for example if someone helped someone with something and says thanks.

thanx or thx = Thanks. Short for it.

WormNet Snooper
WormNet Snooper, or simply Wormsnooper is a new program for use with Worms Armageddon. It's produced by Team17 who made the game, and its usage is for online players. The program works pretty much like Icq, makes you see which players are online and playing in WormNet, and also other guys snooping except you. It also logs players, you can send mails, chat and a stack of other things. Download it by clicking on the link below!
