The boards are nicely formatted in most other ways, but there is still no version-related information per run. Since that's the case, bugs in the game will be fixed or not fixed and runs will haphazardly be compared with each other while some runners were able to exploit particular bugs or new weapons and mechanics, and other runners weren't. It's important to have a version field for a game in heavy development. How about an exe timestamp field? There should be at least something distinguishing between versions.

Edit: Actually, a file timestamp won't work, as Steam updates set the timestamps when they update, which may not be the same for everyone.

Each loading animation spends 0.02 seconds per frame if Vsync is enabled. With Vsync disabled, the animation goes as fast as your computer can load the mission, which should be nearly instant. This saves some time over the full run.

Hello again. Lex here, WA player since 1999. I've taken the liberty to add a link to the Speedrun.com Worms Armageddon Leaderboards page from the Worms Knowledge Base "Community" article. Here's the article: https://worms2d.info/Community#League.2C_tournament.2C_and_contest_sites

Please feel free to edit the "Speedrun.com" article there and describe the site as you wish, linking to any relevant resources for improving competition.

Additionally, several competitive offline players such as Mablak and mpu are in the IRC channel, #worms, on GameSurge. Deadcode and CyberShadow, the game's maintainers and developers, are both there also. If you have any questions about game mechanics, there are many people who are extremely well-versed in those: especially StepS, OutofOrder, KRD, and me ("Lex" there; known as "Buju" in other communities).

Information about connecting to the channel is here, for those new to IRC: https://worms2d.info/Worms_on_GameSurge

If you have a question for someone in IRC, feel free to say their name in the channel, which will give them a notification of some sort.

Edit: Apparently training disciplines are prerequisites for missions and I had forgotten. My mistake. See next post.

Hello! This is Lex, long-time WA player and holder of various unassisted and tool-assisted mission records ( https://worms2d.info/Mission_records ) throughout the years.

I noticed that in Pichi's "All Missions" speed run, he does the training disciplines. Those are meant as tutorial levels, not missions, and even the game itself doesn't call them missions, instead referring to them as "training disciplines".

Before the category is too competitive, it should be known to all runners that the training disciplines should not be done for the "All Missions" category.

Hi, LappySheep! You quickly verified my first submission. Thank you! However, I submitted an 8m09s run a while ago now and it hasn't been verified and added yet. Please do so when you can!

Edit: It has been accepted. Thanks! :)
