View Full Version : Worst Shot Ever (my latest little project)

Every time someone does something incredibly stupid in one of the games I play with my friends, we always make up some stupid phony award for it. The most recent one I believe was "Most fumbled jump" which was rather hilarious at the time
So one day in December I decided to whip up this site (http://www.nanacide.com/worstshotever/index.php) in the hopes that others might submit such entertaining turns for all our amusement. There's nothing serious behind the, er, awarding of the awards, it's all for comedy. All that's needed now is to get the word out! People can't submit stuff if they don't know about the site.
Apparently AL has shut down but I believe FB is up again, and I'm sure plenty of comical turns happen in FB games. Since there's little crossover with the FB and T17 community, it would be handy if someone over there could make a post just to bring some awareness about (I think I have an account but I forgot the password)

Will you be adding a page to the site to be able to view the submitted replays?

I'm undecided on that. Depends how many I get I suppose - if it's a lot, then I probably will

Haha funny idea, but who will juge on who will get the awards? Cant the community watch the replays and vote? That would be nice

Probably too complicated :) In any case I have a whole year to decide on the system so there's no rush, but the current plan is is to have a small group of friends (Parker, Splongul, maybe others) start judging them in december sometime. Until that time I'll just be collecting the replays in a massive archive - I won't even start viewing them myself until near the end of the year. It's a long wait but I don't know how popular this'll be. Maybe in the future it'll be monthly, who knows?
I'm not taking it seriously though - if a replay is funny then it will get in somehow (probably on a very specific and contrived award) because comedy is the goal here. All submissions will eventually be viewable, not just the award-winning ones.

A year, yikes!
That's a long wait, so far by the responses there are a lot of funny/stupid replays out there. =)

Well if I get tonnes of replays I'll definitely have to cut it short! :p I'll have to see how it goes

I could only fit one of my replays on... Even one that thinks it is 99kb wouldn't go :o 100599 bytes.
Sounds like fun though, at last I am eligible for an award! :cool:

Damn! I've not got my old replays! I played a brilliant game once, I was taunting my friend because it looked like I would win when I had my go (he'd just fluffed up his go), we only had one worm each, and he was easily in shotgun range.
...then sudden death started and my worm drowned.
I'll see if he's got that replay anymore.

Akuryou13, you didn't read properly. GG! :DBAH! I *** myself yet again!
ah well, I was mostly posting to get a subscription here so that I can keep track of this thread.
it seems like a funny idea, so I'll enjoy watching the results.

I like the fact the example of the sort of name the game has to be is 12mins30secs_franpa.wagame. :D
Incidently, are you allowed to nominate yourself if you think you have a recording of yourself that qualifies?

Of course Grim, the goal is to get as many funny replays as possible. If you play an offline BnG and get a ridiculous shot, who else should send the replay? :)
Run, this idea rocks. I'll send you every funny shot I do for the rest of 2007 lol.

I didn't particularly mean offline...it just implies on the site that you can only nominate other people.
