The Pentabarf
The Pentabarf (given on page 00004 of the Principia) is the set of 5 holy laws of Discordianism.
It is as follows:
1. There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian Movement. And every Golden Apple Corps is the beloved home of a Golden Worm.
2. A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System.
3. A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).
4. A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub.
5. A Discordian is Prohibited from Believing What he reads.

Alright, Trippenz, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time. I believe you can do what your site says you can do. I was off to call your site a joke, and I'm sorry. Your features seem really interesting. It's great to see a skilled reverser at work. :)
So, when do you think your first public release will be?

Lex, I can't believe you actually fell for that :/ I thought better of you!
Listen up, everyone. Mr. William Phillis is the greatest liar on this planet. He claims that he has done (or will do) things which not even Deadcode, with the source, could do over a few years. I have done enough reversing myself, and you can see enough proof in my creations, which I made free (open-source) to the public (see the links in my signature). That site is obviously a fake. It has plentyful typographical errors (which demonstrates the author's unserious attitude), is created in some simplistic "sitebuilder" application, contains ~5 MB of emo copyrighted MP3s on half of the pages, and offers completely unrelated material as "proff" (or, more precisely, lack) of Trippenz' reverse engireering skills.
Furthermore, the offered download ("Batty Ropes Recoded (Recoded By William Phillis aka Trippenz)") is nothing more than a private beta W:A build (version 3.6.19.19) created by Deadcode for TonY, which has been known to leak into the public a few years ago. The statement that the EXE was "recoded" is obviously false, and anyone can check that by simply hovering the mouse above the Worms:Armageddon logo in the main menu.
Also, his "How Far Along I am Done and What has be completed" seems quite unstable. When I looked at it yesterday, the "4.Voice Chat to everyone, single people, and to your team(4% complete)" was at 100%, as well as the "Up to 16 players in a game" feature. Could it be that Mr. Phillis is unable to make up his mind about which features sound more realistic to be completed first?
I therefore call the participants of this thread to common sense. I am sure Mr. Phillis has his own reasons for doing this, which probably include living through a very lonely childhood, constantly feeling that he is not granted enough attention. Although I pity his cause, this doesn't mean that we have to blindly believe anything that he says.

no the amounts are the same m8 your just lying as i was at the site yesterday. I'm surprised hes even going to release anything at all that he says he has done after being treated like that. if you don't belive him take my word for now and when he releases the beta ull see, kapeech?
and if you had read anything you would notice he didn't recode it but just tweaked it and fixed what he saw as not coded right.

Lex
15 Sep 2006, 02:52
CyberShadow, I "fell for" it because I have faith in people. You seem to lack this, and I thought better of you!
Despite Trippenz' obvious grammar and spelling issues, he may actually be good at reverse-engineering. There are many good reversers who pay little attention to their grammar and spelling because it is irrelevant to their product, I'd say. The same goes for his website-design skills. He may have decided to skip learning HTML because it is irrelevant to what he wanted to do: reverse-engineer and, ultimately, improve WA.
At least, I hope this is the case. I might be completely wrong, though.

Fine. I'll make sure I'll mirror the site regularly and track any changes he made.

Ah, yes, of course. Like there's much to release.

Ghost;531967']and if you had read anything you would notice he didn't recode it but just tweaked it and fixed what he saw as not coded right.
Did I not make myself clear?
The EXE is identical. And I can prove it.
By the mere fact that you side with him, Ghost, I have completely lost any faith in you becoming a productive member of the W:A society any time soon. Perhaps in 3-5 years when you grow up, maybe.

I take back my last two posts in this thread and revert to the attitude in my first post. That's what I truly think. I was just joking around with those last two posts. :p I'm a pretty good actor. ;)

CyberShadow
15 Sep 2006, 03:11
One more post to sum things up.
Ghost.
You may believe either me or Trippenz.
We both claim that we are knowledgeable in reverse engineering.
However, only one of us has proof of that fact.
I have proven my reversing skills by writing software and contributing to the community. I haven't released not one and not two programs to the public.
Trippenz has nothing. Zero. Nil. Zilch. Nada. Nix.
He could have posted something. Anything. A screenshot. A proof-of-concept demo. A short description of what he changed in the game to attain the features he promises. Some technical information on the game's internals to prove his understanding of how the game works. Anything.
Yet there are only empty promises.
If you trust my experience, you should know that no one can just whack up a super-lotsa-added-mega-mod-with-matrix-animations just like that.
From what I've seen, the only thing that Trippenz can do, are 3D CGI graphics, and the ability to convince 14-year-olds like you, Ghost, into blindly following him.
Also, your statement that "I'm surprised hes even going to release anything at all that he says he has done after being treated like that" sounds like it's coming from a very emotionally-unstable person. "Believe me or else I'll jump from the top of this skyscraper!" Who the hell would work several months to whip up an update like that, and then just not release it because of someone's opinion about it?
It makes me sad that, once again, I have to get down to your level to make you understand the simplest things, Ghost.
Don't make me go even lower.

Dando
15 Sep 2006, 03:21
CyberShdw:
There is no need to get irate, ultimately history will judge your assumption about his credability, and I think you are correct. I can see probably, nothing coming from his quater except rhetoric, but time will tell and it isn't important:)
and perhaps Ghost meant "I am surprised he is going to release anything...." and then "oh look he isn't going to do now so you can't disproove me"....who cares

I actually started this project last year before i got locked up. My ex kept my computer, so I had to start the whole thing over. I had to update the site from what i did last year. Another thing is that it takes time to do game coding when you are the only person working on the mod. I do have 1 person who is checking over the coding and then compiling it to an exe. I wasn't planning on releaseing a beta for awhile, but since there are people like Cyber out there I figured what the hell I would release the first beta with the thing people want most. BIGGER MAPS. so after I release this one don't expect me to keeps releaseing betas after I finish making a feature.
I just talked to Trippenz and I can tell you he knows what he's doing. I have been doing some reversing myself and he is using real stuff like C++ and hex editors, so he is very serious, and he will release a beta soon to prove that.
To CyberShdw: while you're saying that there's no proof of his reversing skills, how the **** can you say that he doesn't know anything without giving any proof? I might agree that there isn't anything on the site to demonstrate Trippenz' skills but you can't prove the opposite either! So until you know for sure that Trippenz doesn't know anything in reversing (which is definitely not true), I suggest you keep your mouth quiet. Finally there's someone who actually wants to contribute with something significant to the W:A community (no offence but your little toys like wormkit don't scale up to Trippenz' plans) and look how you're treating him! Or could it be that you're jealous or afraid that he'll steal your fame huh?

Firstly, to point out, Ghost is in the same clan as Tippinz, so he could be lying intentionally if Tippinz is.
Also, when you say "1.Batty Ropes Mod features recode(fixed coding
errors).(100% complete)", doesn't that mean it's not 100% complete?

1: Cybershadow did prove that Tippenz hasn't a public history in reverse engineering, and it hasn't been debunked.
2: I want to change WA so that you can have it in 3D, it's able to detect your room and play on it as a map, they'll be 2500 weapons in the game, and it whitens your teeth while you sleep. There you go, I want to contribute with something much more significant than Tippinz's plans to the W:A community. By your theory, I should be worshipped as a god!

No, this version installs via sattelite directly to your motherboard. All the files are etherially summoned from there into your monitor, where they are processed by termites wearing lab coats. They also have large beards.
In summary, no inital purchase of WA is necessary but you will either have to buy the special monitor or fill your current monitor with termites who wear lab coats and have giant beards. These can be created using match heads and Tippex.

people are far to quick to put their nasty little comments down, least of all rofl trippenz.
My comment wasn't meant as nasty in the slightest, that's why i was wondering why you attacked me for it. I was laughing at this whole thread and the controversy it has started.
Personally, i think it's all a hoax, and respect to him for making it a successful one. If he's actually telling the truth, respect to him for doing it, but some of the changes he's said he'll do would require re-coding large parts of the game engine, and without the original source code that's akin to building a jet engine out of popsicle sticks, hence my belief that it is a hoax.
Either way, good one trippenz.

He is not forced to prove anything. He's doing stuff as a concept, for himself. If he doesn't plan to realease anything, he's allowed to do so. What matters is what he learned by doing it, and the knowledge that it is possible, or not.
Those who believe it is impossible can freely believe so, those who don't mind are not forced to care. Those who believe it's possible, well, get real.

Why jump on the bandwagon of insulting people?
Do not run people down for not having the same perspective as you.
I support anyone that is making a contribution to W:A. If Trippenz comes out with this, it will be sweet. If he does not, and it turns out to be a big lie.
I will support him anyways because Ive been talking to him recently and he seems like a nice guy.
The only contribution you are making to W:A is trying to start up a fight, I do not support that. I hope you appoligise for your actions and step down.

Allow me to try to clearly express my opinion about mr. Trippinz.
I acknowledge that he tried to use all of his skills to impress the public. He has stated, and not once, that he is trying to do something good for the W:A community. Whether that is his true intention or not, his skills and efforts are by far insufficient. He has lied a few times, even trying to give off intentionally faked material as his own work.
While we did talk, my opinion about him did not shift by a lot - except that he is serious about trying to reach his goal, and that he didn't understand some basic principles of how the game works - for example, I had to explain to him that a new WormNET server won't help him with his timeout problem, since the game protocol is peer-to-peer.
I understand that he has found people (supposedly from the CORE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge_of_Reverse_Engineering) team) who will be working together on his mod. I have nothing against that, and if he is serious about getting serious, all the better for all of us then. However, his previous actions still clearly state that his methods and efforts are clearly inadequate and insufficient, so I will hold on to my initial opinion until I will see a result of productive work.

Trippenz is a cool guy, with absolutely no bad intentions.
The impression I received was that he did all of this as a hoax to get attention and bring glory to himself. He hex editted a version of batty ropes, stuck his name on it, and claimed it to be better than the original.
How is self-promotion not a bad intention?
And where is his "proff" that he is doing what he is doing? I don't mean the completely useless and unrelated images he created. I mean something original that he has coded for the game. If he really did all the things he claimed to have done, he would have had to get someone to test these features with him. And yet... no one has vouched that he has actually done anything.

I dont think things like this are worth getting upset about or falling out with people over. Even if he is the biggest liar on the planet, thats not a bad intention, it only hurts himself. In no way does it effect us at all.

Wait, are you just saying that lying to someone doesn't affect that someone in any way?
Go home.

That was just a continuation of my previous post in here (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=533083&postcount=101) and was of course meant as a joke. A metaphorical one. :)
If he comes with something useful: good.
If he doesn't, I don't care.
Though I actually have more faith that people like Deadcode and Cyber Shadow finish something, because they have the source code, which they got because they have showed their skill before.
That made them so believable that even Team17 trusts them.
