ZWoK!

What happened to this game? All of a sudden there are a ton of grade-school-level players who have no clue about the strategy. They kill themselves more often than not.

can they stop the messages. the games works a lot faster when they are disablled

freaking a, seriously.

i already sent an email to the people at BLOCgames, but the send messages option is SO FRUSTRATING! ahfksd.

Now the game is all laggy and lame and makes me not want to play it.

The game is not multiplayer anymore after they cancelled chat option.. because there are so rookie players who have no clue about game and kill friendlies everytime and some maps have some strategies everyone knows this but after one night it seems that noone cares and does these :S

What's up with the game? It has really become crappy since they disabled the chat. I usually get killed by my own team members or win the game by my sole efforts. They definitely need to bring back the previous version!

Nvar #98

HeyDude is correct! Going back and looking at the games, they're not multiplayer anymore. All the players have silly computer generated names. There are no un-named players any more. No Desganadoxxxs whatevers. No need for the chat when there's only one player. The play is so bad is doesn't even follow poor human playing. What a shame, it was one of the best multiplayer games on the net. I guess it's the "Death of Zwok." I'll miss it!

I can't believe the game is not at least partially multiplayer. Just about a week ago I played with Bob the Bobest. That would suck if we're all just playing a bunch of computer generated goobs. If it's true, I don't want to know, I would feel like getting in the top 300 was a waste of time. Actually, I still want to know.

I think ZWoK! is a test of an AI engine or something similar. At it's core essence it is about identfying patterns - how quickly those patterns become strategies and spread through the community.

Perhaps they wants to see gameplay differences between when we are playing others and when we are playing bots.

As I said earlier there are a huge number of things that could be discerned from data mining this game - a short game - lots of repititions in a controlled environment where variables can be carefully changed.

Personnally I think the most interesting thing is the scoring - anyone have a cheat sheet on all the scores (like points for a roller hit vs cluster).

We get the most points for cluster hits it seems - and cluster is also the weapon that - if one entire team consistently uses it - should survive more and win. But if only one player uses cluster it lowers the effectiveness - so does the player start games using cluster and stop if his teammates don't. Or vice versa?

How long does it take for someone to turn on a teammate who keeps shooting them? One bad shot? Two? Three over two games?

Sersiouly this game, if data mined and studied, could considerably advance the field of game theory (which is more about how humans make choices than playing games - but look up Prisoner's Dilemma).

But given the playstation tie-in I think this is a test for an AI that needs to model multiple AI players in a shooter game.

just to say this game ROCKS.And to that guy who said

school kids suck,I'm position 98 thank you very much

go blooz!!!

Read a few of the comments before posting...

Had fun playing today...and then realized an hour in that it wasn't multiplayer. There aren't any outrageous Internet names that you would see in a multiplayer game.

Also, none of the "players" ever take more than 1-2 hops as a move; I'm sure there are people out there (like me) that use almost all the 10 seconds to position themselves well before they fire.

this game is multiplayer becuase i played 5 games with my bro yesterday when he was on a different copmputer so it is a multiplayer game and whoever doesnt believe me caan post somthin to me but it is multiplayer!!!!!!!!!!!

Nvar and Wick are right.

When there is chat you are in a multiplayer game. Otherwise you play bots. It was all multiplayer for a long time. Maybe they decided to reduce their server load? Or did they run into problems? Now it has been mostly bots for a couple of weeks.

I have played a lot, and often recognize top 300 players when multiplayer. Bot names are stupid and they play randomly, and no lazies.

#37 @ 6,000,000 pts. I need a life. Basc.

Right on, Basc. I've also noticed I occasionally get back into the multiplayer games although most are now the Bot games. Semms like the AI has been somewhat improved but still nowhere near as entertaining as the actual multiplayer. I am getting more real work done now though............

#93 most recent.

hi i love zwok. so whats the deat with chat?

My top score for one round is 6450 thus far...anyone do better?

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j109/Shoomz/ZwokBestScore.jpg

Great game by the way...almost in the top 300 now...took forever to play through the crowds.

Sadly, I concur that these days it is more often bots than not. I did play some true multi about a week ago. Along with the lack of a chat bar, it seems that when I am playing bots, I am always in the back of my team.

Do you think the servers are controlling who plays bots? Like not allowing certain players to be multi?

Nvar, Basc, Bertoli, I salute you! When did you start playing?

I have also wondered if there's a method of selection as to who gets to play the actual multiplayer, sleestak. If so, I'd like to figure it out. I've never gotten below #70 since my playing time is limited but my brother is in the 30's and he gets the bot games now too. If you find out, let us know and good luck!

Here is Bloc Media's PR site about Zwok:

http://www.blocmedia.com/awork.php?id=3620

Also, since Sony just introduced PS3, could be their website is overwhelmed. Could they be cutting back on Zwok to free up servers to take care of PS3 traffic at playtstation.com? I assume Playstation is hosting it directly.

Have not been in a human game for over two weeks.

Good questions - I have wondered if people are selectively being pushed to the bots...maybe to test AI, maybe to test those players. Maybe to lower the load on servers by players who play extra long sessions. Maybe to punish us for killing teammates (I let the first bad shot slide, but the second at the same spot - nope).

Oh Zwok gods....please speak to us.

Maybe I will start using the word Zwok like the smurf's used the word "smurfy".

I have stopped playing since players are computer generated ,it is like cheating yourself, they took all the fun out of zwok :(
# dunno somewhere around 290 I guess

I have noticed something else since multiplayer became scarce. My average scores have gone way up. Since the ai players are idiots, most of the killing gets done by the human player, which results in higher scores. With multi games, skilled human players split the points up, and sometimes games only went 1 or 2 rounds. I used to be happy getting 1200-1500 points per game, good game 1800 really good game, 2500+. Now I routinely get 2500+ points. I basically never have a sub 1000 game, anymore. I don't think I am that much better than I was a couple months ago, because my strategies are pretty much the same as when I was averaging 1100 points and ranking in the top 500. (My average now is 1355). What this means is that the value of getting to the top when people first started playing is demeaned, because it is much easier to rack up points against ai players. I keep logging on in hopes that we will go back to multi, and am trying to maintain rank, but I am getting discouraged like heydude. I also wish that we had a community, but I am thankful that jayisgames is serving as defacto headquarters.

Multi is back! Among other real players, I played with sepsis, a few lazies(r du lat?), and a total blast from the past, avionicswiz, who was playing when I first started out! Thanks Playstation.com and blocmedia! Oh and if you're taking requests, can you put a "thanks" message in the chat? I want to tell people "thanks" when they say "nice shot".

Multiplayer is back up! And Yes this is Sentiant. Zwok rank #7 or 6 depends on how much i play.

I've tried posting a few times and none seem to make it. Sorry but I'm not willing to get a typekey just to post herein.

holy crap, this is so addictive.

Hello. Nice to meet you all. I am glad the multi is back. I was wondering what happened.

Ok how long would it take someone to get into the top 10 if they just started out? The least amount of games played for a top 10 is 5200. One game every 3 minutes average? 15600 minutes. divide by 60, 260 hours, divide by 24 hours, 10.8 days. Of course it's a moving target, b/c the top don't stop playing. Does anyone else feel sick about how many hours they've put in?

#285, approx 3.67 days

I used to be in the top 100 a long time ago... :(

Weird...my total weapon-choice percentage adds up to 101%. What's up with that?

my stats after 100 matches:
position: 30446
rank: overlord
matches: 100
overall score: 79483
accuracy: 44%
weapon of choice:
cluster: 41%
bouncer: 19%
normal: 19%
other: 21%

next update at: 1,000 matches
Blooz rule!!!

DIE GRIENZ

I LOVE Kranky! Blooz rule!

p.s. the accuracy rating is bogus, it is based on how many hits out of the rounds you are in and I think it is capped at the point you get access to all the weapons (brick being the final one).

I think cheney faced bang may be on to something. I've been expecting my accuracy to rise for some time now as I've gotten better, but it's been stuck on 42% even though I've like tripled the number of games I've played and swear I make hits more often.

Has anyone who has played a lot noticed their accuracy % change at all?

Mine has never gone up since it wound up at 40%. What is your rank now HMMM and how many games have you played?

The system is a bit wonky. It'll eventually update your stats, and sometimes you won't be able to tell.

I went through a lot of games before I realized I was able to use the other weapons.

it's exellent. 50 matches and got to 150,000 points and 86% acuracy. its easy once you know which weapon is best for certain stages.

Does anyone remember the nintendo game Worms? The little pink bits of pixels that yelled help me when they died, and you could do stuff like kamikaze, flame thrower, and jackhammer. Zwok immediately made me think of that game. I'm chird, greinz. I'm trying to get my sister to make an avatar so we can beat each other up online. ^_^ I've been checking out your site for a couple years, Jay (started back in the day, when the site was a part of RIT) and it just keeps getting better!!!

Cheers, katherine! =)

And thanks for hanging in there with us for so long. We're always striving to make the site better, and we love to hear that we're doing something right! ;)

zwok has gone back to solo. No funny names, no chat bar. The servers have been lagging a bit lately.

These days I'm hanging around between 260 and 265, sometimes as high as 270. Played over 2300 games, score is 3,300,000+

i noticed that some people after setting where you throw and stuff they can still move how do you do this? p.s im ranked 47th

spoiler! GO GRIENZ!

Hi hi. Some of you Blooz are crazy, especially Mr. Bertoli. Grienz are cooler though.

~ GREEN KITTY (rank #90 today)

Is there a rank above overlord or is that where it ends?

Schmize

Overlord is as high as it gets. I think that kicks in at 50,000-100,000 points? Maybe less?

Hehehe....I'm the most crazy blooz. You're right, Mr Kitty ! Don't give up, greenz ! hahahaha...

Ckalimero = 3000 pts per game on average ??? Very, very, very, very strange. Another fake, like the #1 ???

Hello Bertoli-sama,

I've seen him play. No disrespect to CK, but from what I've seen, he's a complete point hoarder, as some of other folks are. But hey, it takes skill to hoard points, and skill is what matters most, don't you agree? Hmm, and #1? I've played exactly one match w/ him. He stinks. I'm guessing he's the flash regulator for Zwok (no disrepect again, sir!). =O

~GREEN KITTY

New features! Search feature on the high score page to find your name. Unfortunately, they also expanded the top 300 leet to the top 3000. Probably because anyone that starts playing the game now will basically never get to the top 300, unless he or she is a college student on break. Summer break. Because most people in the top 300 seem to keep playing except I noticed that zedzedzed stopped at 6477 and that has been it for months. Green Kitty I see you have surpassed our former No. 1. Congrats.

Bertoli I got to play a couple games with you the other day!

Anyway, I guess people are more likely to keep playing if they have some hope of seeing their name in lights

Oh yeah, also new ranks . . . I am a tetragramazoid.

I've played 1 hour this evening. Ckalimero made 200 000 pts at the same time, in 60 games. I didn't play a game against him in one hour. Strange, no ? And more than 3000 pts per game with the new features....He's perhaps a complete point hoarder but i have a doubt, a big, big doubt...

See u soon, Kitty !

(sorry for my english, i'l french)

I for one say there is no way to AVERAGE 3000 pts per game. I don't think I have ever played ckalimero either. I usually recall playing the big names.

Hi!

Thank you sleestak! All my hard work has paid off. =O

And I was playing the new stages today. I think they are designed very poorly. Not much strategy because they are either too flat or way too mountainous. That new weapon spannerz is very overpowered (takes about 60 off, and the ball splits into three! Cheapo attack, I'd say). Even the background graffics are too stylized: it does not have the charm of the old stages.

Yuck, if this is where Zwok is headed, I'd rather not play (but I probably still will). Hope y'all like it though.

~GREEN KITTY (Oh, your English is good Mr. Bertoli. Oh! I mean Monsieur Bertoli)

Well, our ghost (!)Ckalimero made more than 550.000 pts today, more than 200 games and i played him 1 time (one victory of course ! haha). Only one time...However i have played a lot today. I really don't understand.

He is just a good player but not a very good player. Lurch, Wazzakan, Sentiant, Arktur, Red Corpse and even our dear Kitty are much better than him !He must have his small secret...Frankly, how can one explain such score with if few parties? With a so low precision ?

To finish, a bit disappointed by new Zwok. Scenes is not terrible (mountains !)and the new weapon does not make in delicacy. Farewell strategy!

See u soon on Zwok ! (especially Monsieur Kitty, there's a good big brick for him !)

I played two games just right now and all the balance of old Zwok is almost completely gone. Even for an Overlord, all the weapons had a purpose, including "normal." The new spannerz is crazy because the center span ball still is on target, but it adds two shots, all doing 60 damage. It's the new favorite weapon for people who can't aim out there and pray they are lucky.

Additionally, the new maps are unbalanced, especially the one that has one high hill on one side and the rest of it is flat. The two tall mountains one is designed also designed horribly because movement is almost pointless. And the third one I've encountered is similarly stupid. When y'all play it, you'll see.

That's just my rant, but I'm disappointed. I'll play a few matches here and there, but this version isn't my style. Best of luck to everyone.

~GREEN KITTY

Yeah it seems like much more of a free for all. I loved doing the pinpoint brick toss on some noob as they stared in disbelief at the accuracy. I know they have that reaction, because when I was new and someone did it to me I was like "no stinking way" lol. Now some of the strategy and mind reading is taken out, because you have the spanner, which is like a cluster hyperbomb. It is still funny, but different. I like the new chat messages.

Kitty, you and Bertoli used some terms like "point hoarder" Is there some internet community for zwok where terms like that are common?

Bertoli, vous ecrivez plus bien dans anglais donc? je peut ecriver dans francais. Je suivre an cours de francais pour six ans, mais dans 1981-1987.

Ckalimero made 500.000 pts in 2 hours this evening.

Nothing's wrong, all is all right.......

A fake i said !

Hey,
I've enjoyed this game alot and unlocked all of the weapons up to brick and accumulated enough points to assume that my accuracy would read something. But it sits at ZERO. Yes, 0%. Allegedly I can't hit the broadside of a barn, which I know isn't true. Help?

Ps. Username= TheNose

there is no way someone can make 500,000 point in 2 hours. ckalimero may play some to give cover, but he is hacking like Angry Dwarf. Whatever happened to him; that took his stats down eventually, right?

Was he the guy that walked around at the bottom of the maps and wrote whatever he wanted in chat?

Hacking ? I don't know....

I saw on another forum than he would be accustomed to play against bots with a small smartness. Just like that, it fills up with points. And this would explain why we see him so not much in the "real" game with real players...

It must be a bit annoying, but like that, he will finish 1st one day....

Hey, does anyone know the highest rank? everyone is saying it's overlord but it's deffinetly not, here are my stats.

zwok i.d:pkrange
position:30803
rank:tetragramazoid (1 higher then overlord)
matches:132
overall score:102420

I am a tetragramazoid, but I have over 3 million points, so that must now be the highest rank. It used to be overlord.

Bertoli, I hardly ever get bot levels anymore, in fact the last time I did I noted it on this forum. I think it was a couple months ago. By the way, I think by "small smartness" you mean "weak ai" (ai=artifical intelligence). Now, tell me how bad I mangled my French a post or two ago.

i have playedlike 40+ games and unlocked everything up to brick, but my accuracy is still 0. How is it worked out? why is it still 0?

i can't aim and played 100+ games and my accuracy is still 0% guess you just can't aim

(zwonk name)demonxx

how come when ever the time goes down and finishes how can people move?

havent played in 3+ weeks, still at 298. But, my days on page one are drawing to a close, I believe.

Why do I always get kicked?

i want to know what the best rank is and what you have to get to get that rank and it would be better if you could choose rooms to go in so you can play against or team with people you know,and you can add friends on a friend list

Well the game is/was highly addictive....
For some reason or another my usernames no longer work. It says "Login Incorrect" (does anyone know why?) Even though I did notice more players had the "Lazy" nicnames today... perhaps it's a glitch? Perhaps they fianlly seen my nicname in the database and realised it's not appropiate? (highly unlikely though) because my other nicname that I use is "Roenick" and that no longer exists... I don't play to become #1 or even #500, I just play this game because it's enjoyable...! (to let you all know) I had 0% lol... I've played 1200 games or so.. Can't log in now to see how many... but was roughly there... All I want to know is WHY my usernames no longer work.... Have fun everyone, and really hope to play using my regular nicname again soon... or I'll try to make a nicname with "Rob" in it.

They seem to have dumped all their user accounts. Maybe their database got corrupted? Or maybe they decided to start over? No notices were posted.

Ive been trying to sign up for zwok but when it asks to choose my team it does not do anything no matter what Ive tried.

all im worried about is if we can get our accounts back.

Are you allowed multiple accounts in this game?

yes, your allowed multiple accounts. I have 3 user names to play Zwok. I've emailed them on Aug 8th and they've never replied to me. I'm thinking there must have been an error.. who knows.. all I know is that my accounts back now...

Look at the stats for the player currently ranked #3, called flashrsg

50,300,332 points in 5213 matches = 9649 points per game

No way that's real.

Well Hi firstly this site rocks. Great that theres like a zwok forum. Well to get the rank over overlord which i got on 39 games how much score do i need? 10000??? My game keeps blocking are there any reasons? One of my 2 PC's never kicks me one i can forget it!!!!

CRAZY FROG
Rank : Overlord
Position: something in the 9000s
Matches: 42

I know 42 matches is poor...

Je n'ai pas le temps de traduire tous ca en francais alors je le ferai pas. Had french for seven years now... HAHAHAHA im need to do more :(

French :)

Zwok is such a fantastic game. Why did they ever even consider removing the chat function? So much is lost. there is no communication. No passing on of skill, no development of the game. I've played Gunbound and other games that are similar. None comes close to the simple, uncluttered majesty of Zwok. Who are the creators? Why don't they care about the leader-board being overrun by cheaters?

True zwok strategists know that good players have high averages. I average over 1300 per round. But averaging 5000+ points per match is not possible unless you play the symmetrical big bowl over and over again. It is the only map where you can score multiple hits for consistent scores in the 3000-4000 range.

Is there a way that cheaters can somehow play this one map repeatedly?

I.D. Gamehen

I've found a little but useful bug:
After your first winnig match if you close your net connection, then reconnect, there will be no messages but much more faster gaming zest.

I play Zwok and I like it. But I have some qeustions. First how do I get the spannerz? I just figure I could use it. How? And second you said that in order to kill people you might need to sacrifice yourself or your team members. But theres this guy who is a blooz and he looks like a skeleton. And heres what. He on the first move turns around and throws spannerz at u and kills u on one shot! HE KILLS HIS OWN PEOPLE! FOR NO REASON! SO I REALLY NEED THOSE SPANNERZ!

The reasons that the green player kills his own teammates are two-fold:

1. He doesn't wish to be damaged by his noob teammates who are sure to hit him at least once in the round.

2. If he is playing for high-score, and not just for fun, then he doesn't want his noob teammates to accidentally steal his kills (I say accidentally because noobs primarily hit enemies without any real forethought...they just point, click, and pray). By killing his own team, he has the whole shooting gallery to himself.

Here's an analogous scenario:

- you and a another guy are bobbing for apples.
- the goal is to get the most apples to win the big cash prize.
- the rules say that you are legally allowed to handcuff the other guy to the wall so that he can't even reach the apples.
- you decide to do so.
- you get the most apples and win the prize
- the other guy gets nothing because he is handcuffed to the wall.

In essence, a noob (and really any player on your team)
poses a threat. An experienced zwok player will kill (handcuff) everyone in his way because his teammates are very likely going to screw up his game. Zwok is NOT, I REPEAT NOT A TEAM GAME! There is no penalty for killing teammates, so why not do it every time?

Conclusion:

There should be a penalty for hitting teammates.

The accuracy rating kicks in after a lot of initial battles so you'll be at 0% for a while and you'll have the spanners weapon option before the accuracy rating is updated. I have noticed some other things as well:

- Since you're playing internationally sometimes the server(s) lag and it's usually just one or two players and clears up quickly.

- I don't think I've ever played bots and I'm like still in the top ten. Speaking of which my average score is around 2000 per game although with the spanners weapon that has gone down as they are so overpowered you kill in only one or two hits. I've done a few games scoring over 5000 and 6000 but they are rare (and kind of boring).

- Sometimes the servers take away the chat function as they are simply running too slow. And then zowee does the game move!

- Related to the chat feature I've experienced a bug as well. Everything seems to work fine in Firefox on my Mac but sometimes if I log in using Mozilla the chat feature is gone and I'm mostly playing newbies (NOOBs) although not always. And I can move faster and a little farther although the game is boring as I tend to win most of those rounds.

- The cheaters. Yes, they suck. Just make a small list of the ones while you're playing and leave that round if it gets to you. Generally if you see someone (from either team) move an extra long distance you know they hacked the system. Another version is you've killed them and phantom shots come at you. A newer version is cheaters who hack the system and set themselves to stay a small (newby-like) zwok rather than getting larger with the weapons upgrades.

- Teammates who kill their own. They suck too. I can forgive the newbies (just move away from them - we were all new once.) But in addition to the comments from hagbreath some of the teammates who kill are just vengeful or even be from the other team thinking the are doing something helpful - they aren't. I don't support killing your teammates for any reason except if they are attacking you and frankly I would probably just leave that round and not give them the attention they seem to need so badly. This is a good strategy for all the cheaters. Send a comment "nice shot" and leave. If they are trying to get points let them get them from someone else; if they are trying to cheat to win who cares. I'm here to kick some greinzwok butt!

Bloozs rule!

Zwok Scoring Tips Everyone Should Know:

A bouncing ball is worth more than a rolling ball!
This goes for:

- Roller (yes, the roller can be bounced slightly and with great effectiveness)
- Cluster (the cluster acts exactly the same as a bouncer until it pops)
- Bouncer (by far the most useful weapon in your arsenal
I use bouncer about 60% of the time)

This actually has to do with the velocity at which the ball is traveling when it makes contact with an enemy. Bottom line, the faster the ball is going, the more points the hit will be worth.

When lobbing shots into ravines, many players make a point of aiming so that the ball ends up sliding perfectly down the hill and into the ravine occupied by the enemy players. This may look very cool, but it is strategically ineffective. The ideal ravine lob should always be attempted with a bouncer (never a roller) and should ideally be kept bouncing as much and for as long as possible.

For points, the brick is very poor. For solid strategy, the brick is totally useless. It ends games too early by dealing too much damage and can produce no more than three total hits per turn (usually 1 or 2 or 0!). To all you noobs out there, FORGET ABOUT BRICK! CONCENTRATE ALL YOUR EFFORTS ON LEARNING TO USE BOUNCER AND CLUSTER! YOU WILL EARN MORE POINTS MUCH FASTER AND EARN SPANNERS MUCH SOONER.

Learn the maps and create your own POSITION-POINT strategies. Learn to understand the safest standing positions on each map, and then learn at least 1 precise point (usually the size of a single pixel) to aim your mouse to produce a devastating bouncer shot that ricochets all over the place for multiple hits. Once you have found that point, be careful not to lose it (i.e. by moving your mouse-curser). That devistating shot will often be good enough to kill everyone
on the map.

Yes the brick is useful for hitting people on the back of their heads if they are noobs. everyone does that to me. Eventhough im pretty OK

Not for scoring, CRAZY FROG. Indeed, the brick can be useful for the mere killing of opponents. KILLING is not the main goal, however, when one is concerned with SCORING. If it is a high score that you want, then ideally you will keep your opponents alive as long as possible. By issuing as many hits as possible with low powered weapons in a single round, you will rack up more points than if you issue say, 6 total hits in a round with the brick. The game designers want greater rewards for strategic play, not well placed/lucky shots with over-powered weapons.

Yes, spanners have a much higher scoring potential than
brick because there are three separate projectiles. Even so, a nice bouncer shot will yield a higher score than a nice spanner shot 80% of the time because the ball has multiple hit potential.

Again, I urge noobs to concentrate on learning how to use the low powered weapons because experienced players can easily avoid silly hail-mary brick and spanner shots and then embarrass you with a direct cluster pop (this is the most impressive shot in the game when done deliberately, IMHO) or a multiple hit bouncer shot.

The scenario CRAZY FROG presents is basically the only time when brick and spanners are useful: at close range when your zwok's safety is in question and the threat needs to be eliminated immediately.

Forgot to mention...

Though I am often extremely impressed by some of the creative ways people lob NORMAL balls to damage me,
I feel I must discourage the use of this weapon overall. The bottom line is: you must be extremely accurate to use a NORMAL ball to its full potential. It's about as easy as brick or spanner to get a SINGLE hit on an opponent, but getting MULTIPLE hits on that same opponent can be really tough depending on the terrain.

BOTTOM LINE: If there's no way to get MULTIPLE hits on a

-single player
or
-a group of players in close proximity of one another

with NORMAL, then there is no reason not to use another weapon with higher scoring potential and/or better odds of executing the play as you've planned.

I dont understand the accuracy thing... how do you put it up?

GO GREENZ

My accuracy also reads 0 percent -Liam S-. As far as I can tell, this is just a glitch that affects a medium minority of Zwok users. I have two accounts; one with accuracy 47 percent, and the other 0. It was zero from the moment I created the Zwok, and it's stayed the same ever since.

hey, now there are like 4 Greinz in the top 12, does anyone know if they are all just the same person, using hacks to get the Greinz in the lead?! and also, Lurch always seems to try to kill me with a brick, even though we are in the same team!

PS: Greinz are the coolest, don't forget that!

oi hagbreath, o% accuracy has affected everybody who has made an account since the upgrade of zwok, not just a 'medium minority'

Oi gretey, thanks for correcting me so succinctly and clearing that up for the rest of the class. You win an imaginary cookie!

I think the previous version should come back because lots of people are getting killed by there own team player & its really annoying when that happens

Does anyone know what causes one to get kicked out of a game and get the "You have been kicked for not achieving required performance levels during multiplayer play", Enter New Game" screen?

I don't know if this is just me or not but sometimes I am on blooz and sometimes I am on Grienz. When I signed up, when I was choosing my team, I accidentily quit the browser. So sometimes I am on the Blooz and sometimes on the Grienz. On the highscores though, I am a grien

Hmm... extra weapons? Don't you unlock more as you get more points? Oh, by the way, love this site Jay. I found zwok a while ago, and i'm glad that other people actually like it as well... "You have been kicked for not achieving required performance levels during multiplayer play", Enter New Game" screen - it means your computer is running too slow. Well, i haven't played in a while so it might of have been upgraded...

hey guys just started playing and i already have all weapons exept the last one, i have been playing and making good scroe and wining matches bit i still dont recieve the spaners. What should i do?

To get the spanners

achieve a score of 100000 points total

if u want to use spanners ur overall score needs to be 80+ easy hinds if u point a wepon at the oponent it will not hit point a litel above and ull hit them XD

Ramell makes a good point. It is crucial to aim higher than the level of the terrain if you are attempting a close range shot. If I am less than 1 inch away from my opponent, I tend to aim slightly below that opponent's hit-point box. This generally produces the intended result.

omg i joined a little bit before they disabled chat. and now every1 has no idea what to do and i have to win every game on my own mostly. it so annoying! D=

Well I havent checked here in awhile. I was really glad to see ann r key had left a post or two. I remember playing with you several times on your way up the ladder. You were playing like gangbusters before slowing down, because you started below me, but passed me when I was in the 280 range in rank; next thing I know you're in the top 5. I stopped playing at the end of June 06, and I only dropped slightly over 100 in rank in 6 months. I guess I didnt like the game quite as much after the spanners and other new features were brought in, plus I had been playing for 9-12 months, and everyone gets tired of a game after awhile. But it is still a cool game. I actually got to be a tester in a sense for awhile, because when they made the rankings searchable, the result it would spit out would be different than if you scrolled through the rankings. I emailed them and pointed it out.

Arrgh I forgot my typekey identity pw.

Here's a theory for an Aimbot for ZWok, untested. If anyone wants to implement it, let me know! I don't have time to relearn Win32 programming any more.

When I wrote June 06 in my last post, I meant June 07. The game had only first appeared in June 06, I think.

Go Blooz

There is a rank above over lord called Tetra Gamma Zoid. I think if the no accuracy is a glitch, then my profile got it. But, oh well. BTW

Blooz are better. The win loss ratio is 53 to 47. GO BLOOZ!!!
